The Last of Us Part 1 went from 36 to 11 due to the tv series. Also, Forspoken at 7, not too bad actually.

darkrider1068d ago

Tlou was great move from Sony.

Chevalier1067d ago (Edited 1067d ago )

It was grating trying to explain why TLOU Remake was made for the launch of the TV series and people arguing back. This is exactly what was expected when the TV launched and people decided to buy the game as well. Like that Stat recently that suggested 30% of PS5 owners didn't have a PS4.

Sonic18811068d ago (Edited 1068d ago )

Forspoken is a big surprise. I actually thought the game was decent

Nyxus1068d ago

Yeah I'll pick it up somewhere down the line. Waiting for a price drop though.

Traecy1068d ago (Edited 1068d ago )

It's a good game. People here saying it isn't haven't played the game in its entirety nor own the game.

andy851068d ago

It's very good. I loved it

SierraGuy1068d ago

Games awesome...if it was on series x they'd be chanting GOTY.

Ra30301068d ago

Seems to be a big secret but many others thought it was a good game as well am I just guessing but in a couple years when this games releases on the other console those that haven't played it but are very vocal about how much this game sucks will have a change of tune.

repsahj1068d ago

Grats to forspoken, beautiful game. Not a masterpiece but a great game for me.

ABizzel11067d ago (Edited 1067d ago )

It's a solid B/A tier game, in a world where everyone except every game to be AAA or AAAA blockbusters.

infamous Second Son JRPG edition.

Silly Mammo1065d ago

Probably be the next game I buy when I finish Hogwarts

Supply incoming and sales of the ps5 on top on all markets

SullysCigar1068d ago

I can see this being the case almost always now the supply issue appears to have been fixed.

darkrider1068d ago

They should do psvr2 bundle, because it's freaking brutal. Horizon in vr is crazy stuff. Also kayak vr is super fun.

VersusDMC1068d ago

Hopefully Dead Space sold well enough for EA to greenlight DS2 getting remade.

-Foxtrot1068d ago

Hell I’ll take a Dead Space Extraction reimagining but an actual full game not a on rail Shooter

VersusDMC1068d ago

Since it takes place on Aigis VII and Ishimura they can reuse 80% of the environments it would be the cheaper option...but i want DS2 more as it's my favorite. But i would absolutely take both!

-Foxtrot1068d ago

Yeah I’d like DS2

I’d just really want to see the downfall of the Ishimura in real time

edeprez1067d ago

Yeah that thing was painful to play thru back in the day. I was pumped to play DS2, and the pre-order bonus was quite a disappointment. Remake that sucker in the same engine as the Dead Space Remake.

It’s strange that Tencent wants to make games that Sony makes already and does a great job. I could see asking about reviving a franchise but current franchises don’t make much sense.

Christopher92d ago

It's not strange at all. They're big on copying successes, not on developing their own.

darthv7292d ago

That was pretty much the norm for several years. a big hit gets released, then you start to see clones. God of War and then Dante's Inferno. Gears of War and then Quantum Theory. Those are just a couple but there are plenty more.

Its been the same with movies and tv shows for decades.

jambola91d ago

Its pretty much the standard tbh
I mean how many cinematic universes and multiverses have we seen in the last 10 years

RaidenBlack91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

Give 'em SOCOM/Killzone/Resistance/inFa mous? (defo: not Uncharted tho)

rlow192d ago

Well that’s what the Chinese do steal and copy. Then call it their own…not surprised.

italiangamer92d ago (Edited 92d ago )

The First of Them! 100% Made in China.

_Decadent_Descent91d ago

I'd actually be stoked if it played well and had an MP mode.

DivineHand12591d ago

Guys when I am not gaming or watching media, I will read or listen to books for entertainment. There are a bunch of great books out there with stories that are super interesting.

I don't understand why these studios won't try to do an adaptation of some of those books instead of trying to copy each other.

Some of the best games around were adapted from some of these books.

yeah, they're gonna overprice it so only 0.5% of the playerbase can buy it. The spiderman packs cost like 650 for 12 packs or something, on top of spiderman not fitting into mtg at all. Most of current PS characters don't fit either.
