Is Folkelore worth going back to these days? I never did grab it back in the day, seems unlikely to ever get ported/remastered either so I think I should get round to picking it up sooner rather than later.

It's very much an early PS3 game, which is to say it's a PS2 game with very good graphics. As long as you're okay with that, sure.

The question is more: does the person gave any credibility (e.g. Are they a reviewer?) or are they just pretending to be playing the game?

Bingo. If they're a reviewer, they shouldn't be talking about the game out of NDA, and if they're not a reviewer, how do they have the game? Or are they just bullshitting to piggyback on the fact that the press just got their copies?

There's more to it than just preorders.
Benji was saying the same thing with Control (obviously DS will sell a lot more, but tweets are not enough to think about sales performance before it's out).
Of course but it's still interesting to have tidbits like this, knowing that preorders are strong especially digitally

MGS was really not that big big seller, DS outperforming it would not be that crazy.
It's still 5 millions copies in 1 month, Death Stranding outperforms a hyped game like MGS5 would be a very good performance, especially for a new IP available in 1 platform and which may be a divisive game

Looks like this thread is no longer safe for those on a media blackout for Death Stranding ☹️

The franchise sold more than 50 millions units. MGS1, 2 and 4 were some of the best selling games in their respective consoles, all of them were above 5 millions and this was ages ago.

Phantom Pain shipped 5M in the first month. Death Stranding launch outperforming it would be crazy, that would be close to GOW territory. I don't think it will be close to that but I would be glad if I'm wrong.

Sure, im not saying it's bad number but MGS was never that big hitter that people think it is.

And GT sold back to back over 10M back then, my point is that MGS was never a big big seller that DS can't compete.

DS will absolutly ship over 3M in the first month too, and that is on a single platform

Yeah GT and GTA were on a league of their own back there.

3M would be great. Let's see if Sony will share the numbers or if it's going to be another Days Gone.

Infamous sold about 1M in 9 days, i really see those 3M as very doable.

I won't be surprised if Kojima himslef just shared the numbers if they do big numbers.

Show me the proof... I'd genuinely be surprised if MS gives Sony the power lead next gen, I do wonder just what the consoles will cost next gen (I have money put away for the PS5 already) as I get the idea that'll be the bigger focal point - well, that and the games, which I trust Sony way more in the long run than MS, new studios or not.

As a racing game fan I'm really feeling the loss of Evolution Studios in Sony's lineup. Gran Turismo is great, but I really wish Sony had a more fun side of the racing world like Microsoft does with Playground Studios.

This "power lead" will likely be so small as to not really matter at all. Kind of like how the XB1X has a more powerful CPU than the PS4 Pro. It's only slightly more powerful. A pretty much meaningless difference.

This is what I've expected for a while now. Both companies working with AMD means you're likely going to get a very similar box at a very similar price. The only reason things ended up so different last time was because Microsoft made some really foolish decisions.

It always looked like Knack with another packaging, even the way Monkey King guy runs looks like they are slightly altered from Knack's running animation.
