I think it would be neat if Insomniac released a budget priced ($10-$20) PSN collection of their four mobile games (Outernauts, Fruit Fusion, Bad Dinos, and Digit Dash). Of the four, I think all but Outernauts (published by EA) were self-published by Insomniac, so they (and now Sony) should hold the rights to them. Another self-published game they could add is Slow Down, Bull, which, despite being a Steam release, would fit in well with the collection. Even though they are mobile games, it's a shame that (not included Slow Down, Bull) none of those games are available anymore (at least on iOS). It's always sad when a developer's game is forever lost to time.
Also, they've made two AR games for Magic Leap One. With Oculus Quest (and Rift S) having Passthrough (a feature allowing you to see your room while still inside your headset, albeit in low resolution black and white), I think it would be neat if the next PSVR took this idea and upped the quality, which could allow PSVR to become both a VR and AR headset. This would allow Insomniac to keep working on both VR and AR, which are things they seemed interested in.

So here's where i'm at.
PS5 gets delayed to March 2021: Bummer, but that's not too bad, i can wait. Better safe than sorry.
PS5 gets delayed to holiday 2021 AND a bunch of PS5 games get delayed to holiday 2021 because devs are working from home:

If i recall it was about if the rumored Silent Hill was developed for PC as well.
It mostly comes down to time and costs of developing a dedicated set piece boss fight. I mean just think about the final fight or against Hræzlyr so much content thats just used one time for 10 minutes of gameplay. Still sequel needs more of them.
No, I think its bizarre, too.
This is the real travesty. After this generation Sony has more than enough money to provide each of us with something we like.
I guess you'll enjoy what Vergeben has said about Media.Vision :P
Oh boy.
First of all: could we, please, just say it's inaccurate information? It's hard at times to interpret the tone of a message and as I read it, I'm not sure if you're accusing me or simply questioning the content. Now, on to the topic, the numbers you're linking belong to the financial year finished in March '15, which is less than six months after release, not a whole year as you've repeated twice. That single data changes the conversation enough to frame those numbers under a different light.That's totally false, after one year, Alien Isolation sold only 2.1 million copies and it was not enough for SEGA to continue the series at all, and i don't blame them.
They released a very good game on 5 platforms in 2014 and 2.1 million copies is a poor number after 1 year for an "AAA" production.
Football Manager is being developed by an entirely different team and the studio working on Alien Isolation was created at Creative Assembly to tackle only Alien and the Total War series was not meddling with the franchise since CA has several teams working on several Total War games for years.
Even then, the 2.1 million copies were not sold at full price at all, especially on PC.
Sega laments "weak" game sales even as hard numbers rise
Sega boosted its packaged software sales by 41 per cent in the financial year ended in March, though that 12.3 million …www.gamesindustry.biz
Following that point, I didn't say CA is the developer behind Football Manager, nor that it was developed within the company by the same team responsible of Total War; they were examples of the sort of project that SEGA as a whole or CA in particular tend to pursue. I concede a possible lack of clarity in the text, but the affirmation is equally valid, in my opinion: that SEGA (and CA by extension) favor a certain kind of production over other more risky scenarios.
As for the general context of my message, I was going by these words from CA studio director Tim Heaton, which I quote right here:
There's also this couple of lines by Jurgen Post, back then Sega Europe CEO:
Let's keep in mind it's not unusual for these big companies to be underwhelmed by multi-million selling games, only because they had set expectations much higher or due to a costly development; it's what occurred, as you'll remember, when Square-Enix rebooted Tomb Raider for a new generation. Faced with an identical trouble, they decided to insist with the series and develop new sequels, meanwhile, SEGA moved on from the Alien IP (Switch port aside, five years later).
I don't call into question their initial disappointment, but as you see above, it's also pretty evident, coming from the sources themselves, that the risky AAA environment was in the end an equal or bigger motive for the publisher to pass on the project and focus on surer formulas. In fact, it's in that same interview where it's said that the Alien team (or what was left of it, after many designers leaving) was behind the new Halo Wars project, putting that big and expensive team at the service of an external project paid by another company.
Apparently he has a terrible track record when it comes to leaks so don't worry about it.
I wonder at what point does coronavirus start affecting the release dates of games. I don't think TLOU2 or Ghost are safe from another delay. Especially if employees start having to work remote.
This tells you everything, if you spend 3 years building an "AAA" game with a much bigger budget than anything you have ever done, build new technology for it and ship the project on 5 platforms and with 2.1 million you are barely breaking even, no wonder they didn't make another one and they didn't purse with the Alien franchise.
Let's not forget another money sink called Alien Colonial Marines and the cancellation of Obsidian Alien RPG.
If the Alien name and a high quality title only managed to sell 2.1 million copies on 5 platforms you can't blame SEGA for not doing a sequel.
2.1 million is less than Total War Rome II numbers, spending more than a Total War game to sell the same amount is not a smart business decision.
It's not the games that are months away that are in trouble, it's the games that are 1+ years out that are going to get hit hard.
I've never been a big fan of Battle royales outside of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale that is or Call of Duty, but the Call of Duty Battle Royale games have been a blast to play, and my absolute favorite Battle royale out there. A part of me would like to see an Assassin's Creed Battle Royale game. Stealth your way to victory and be the top assassin. I miss Assassin's Creed multiplayer.
Absolutely agreed, a big factor is how good the gun play is compared to Fortnite and PUBG.
Actually those games will probably be fine, those games are still launching very soon, so they will probably be doing stuff that dont need a lot of strict supervising for the direction and can be done via remote work.
I am more interested in seeing what will happen with games like cyberpunk and avengers who still have quite a few months to go.
I wish I was playing Yakuza :( I finished 7 not too long ago and I always make sure I take a break between diving into another one. But more often it feels like I feel like I force myself not to play another one too soon else nothing gets done! Right now I'm alternating between Sundered on my PS4 (gorgeous 2D action game) and Afrika on my PS3 (a wonderfully relaxing game unlike anything else I've really played). Not sure what'll happen to my copy of Doom this week, worst case scenarios are I'll either just grab it digital or wait. Don't really mind either way.
Definitely. Call of Duty has the best gunplay when it comes to battle royales. Apex was a step up from Fortnite but I couldn't get into that one either. I forget why I couldn't get into Apex. It's been so long since I last played it. The only reason I can think of for why Fortnite got so popular was because it was free. The game plays like shit. Not a fan of the art style either. Warzone is definitely a game I'll be playing with my brother when he gets back from California. This is the first time I've actually liked Activisions output. Good Crash and Spyro games, good Call of Duty games, Sekiro, hopefully a good Diablo IV game. Hopefully it stays that way.
So seems that Silent Hill rumor actually has some validity to it.
Does that mean Sony is going to hire Ikumi Nakamura to work on the characters design?
Didn't DriftingSpirit once hinted at it?

Yep I remember now. You said on discord or here, don't remember the exact place that you said it, but you said after she visited a Sony studio that she one day will work there.
Once again Drift been playing chess while the rest of us been playing Tic-Tac-Toe.
I want to play death stranding so i can finish it, but tv is taken all the time so... nothing.. My two 8 yo daughters are playing BOTW and Pokemon on their switches 😅
Now the rumor of silent hill got expanded to Sony buying MGS, SH and Castlevania IP's from konami 😂 Never change internet.
they got a lot of crap online for skipping GDC, but GDC was only supposed to start tomorrow and looking at the state of everything, holding it would have been disastrous. Sony rightfully went with a worst case scenario approach to coronavirus early on and they were right.
This is like some low res Cry Engine tech demo. PS5 version of Dreams gonna lit.
Even PAX was the right decision. The Boston mayor even tried to get them to reconsider. But at the same time that PAX was going on there was also a Biogen conference going on in Boston. Now the majority of cases for coronavirus in Massachusetts is directly linked to that conference.
Tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of God of War III, time flies man...

4Chan, was apparently posted in January and also mentioned the SH reboot https://www.resetera.com/threads/pl...whats-in-the-box.171852/page-97#post-29877705
An account called "jackofallcontrollers". Never heard of them before, but I've seen it gaining traction.
edit: ah lol, apparently based on 4chan then. Would make no sense based on Konami's financial health and how they can make money by just licensing/outsourcing like they did in the past. They've said plenty of times they don't want to leave gaming.
Of course, and I agree with this reflection of yours, which is essentially why (though it might be a discussion about words) I sustain that not going forward with a sequel had a lot to do with Isolation not selling "enough" to justify more investment from SEGA, rather than it doing "bad" or bombing, as said some pages ago. Something that, in any case, I understand and has its point of reason, because of those first reactions by the publisher, but I think the picture behind the scenes was a bit more complex, exactly like these interviews from back then help to describe.
Perhaps, if instead of SEGA it had been another publisher, more used to big AAA productions and its heavy costs, the series could have gone on. But certainly, the expense would have been important, the gamble too big; SIE or Microsoft could do it; other publishers? Highly doubtful. While writing to you, I remembered a similar story about Dead Space's demise, how after DS 2 sold more than 4 million units (a figure I'd bet money Isolation passed, whatever the price), it wasn't enough to cover the budget so EA asked for a new direction; from there DS 3 was designed and the series faded away. When even a giant publisher like EA cannot face this situation, absolutely, I don't expect SEGA to do but what they decided.
Still, and I think it was the original point by the people in this thread, I believe there's a place for AAA horror games in the market. They're might be hard to sell if they're not named Resident Evil; from Bethesda to SEGA or EA, many have tried yet nobody found the formula to create a durable series. I think Silent Hill might have a very good chance, if budget is kept under control.
Jack of All Controllers -> AlphaFoxWarfare -> Fake News
Just ignore it / him.
I posted it for fun ITT like yesterday I think
It was the typical 4chan fanboy's wet dream "leak" then turned into an article by Jack Of All Controllers
Maaaan, KH3's control scheme is so dumb. It's gonna take me a while to get used to it. I wish it controlled more like FF7R.
Edit: I forgot the accessibility settings. I will try and setup the buttons to something that makes more sense.

Please for the love of Kos don't tell me anyone in this damn thread believes that Castlevania+ MGS+Silent Hill rumor
