Source? I know it sold well on steam with 200k on its first week.
But curious to know where you got your data from.
In the meantime, the game reached 5 Millions players and since it was a game that was popular amounts PC fans and it was available on gamepass. We can easily come to the conclusion that the 5 Million players were mostly on Gamepass.
Now you wondering how that's relevant since it does not equate to sales.
Since the game...
First off use paragraphs.
It seems like we have played different games because almost everything you hated I enjoyed.
The game does take time to open up I do agree with that but I didn't mind it as I learnt the mechanics of the game in the opening dungeon...why I'm calling it the dungeon.
I think that you need some patience when it comes to video games you can't expect too be given a gun straight away. The whole beginning was a setu...
You're Dream Cast guy ain't you.... this is your burner account.
"All we can safely say is more people probably played it due to gamepass that wouldn't have otherwise bought it, but that dosnt mean it didn't hurt sales."
Yeah, there you go. more people played it because of gamepass. For every player that plays the game which was most likely in the millions the studios were paid in revenue share. There is a certain amount that the studio would get paid if they reach a certain threshold. Hi-Fi Rush, Atomic Heart and a pla...
Well deserved and credit to Platinum games
Instead of Square wasting its time with Bayalon Fall they would have invested all that money into expanding the Nier franchise.
Atomic Heart is a good game everyone should experience that game for its beautiful design.
I do believe that they could have structured the story in a different way. This game could have been told solely through in-game lore rather than cutscene and the player would have to piece everything together.
Also, Atomic Heart, as well as A plague tale Requiem, have both been deemed successful. So the day one game pass release did not so-called "cannibalise" sal...
A dying genre and we need more studios to keep it alive.
The most popular Hack and slash franchise God of war has ditched its combat for over-shoulder melee combat.
That Whole idea of expecting Hi fi rush to sell despite it not having a physical release, being on game pass on subscription, and shadow drop is not a recipe for sales.
The metric for measuring its success is something that Jeff Grubb doesn't even know about so when his source said that it did not seemingly meet sales expectations is lost in mistranslation.
The measure of success for Gamepass games according to me is the reach of players.
2 million gamers have ...
"Go watch dreamcast guy"
Dreamcast guy...really this guy is hilarious...that's your news source. What a joke
Listen, man, I kinda feel sorry for the fact that you follow that guy. He regurgitates misinformation mixed with his own personal opinion which is terrible.
If you need a news source, you need to not take things at face value with articles, you are your own news source. Make clear distinctions as to which publication is biased towards a certain...
This is the real news...Even Jeff Grubb the source doubted was not sure what was said. Even in Shiji Mikami Tango game works themselves said the games were a big success. Jeff Grubb speaks from his ass most of the time.
The fact that seeing people happy about the fake news that the game underperformed is the sad part. Imagine going around saying his game has failed and rejoicing over a rumour that the game has failed.
Pathetic
Rare to have hack-and-slash games on consoles nowadays. Hopefully, this team will be able to rival Platimum
Tango game works need to increase the size of their team.
3 dev teams.
Team 1: Horror
Team 2: Hack and Slash
Team 3: Experimental games.
This whole Jeff Grub debacle is so overexaggerated. Based on someone who say something that its seem like....Hi fi rush did meet sales expectations.
They were not timed exclusives, get your facts straight.
Many developers did not want to develop on the PS3 because it was hard to do so. This is also why many Japanese games were on Xbox during that time.
Also, Mass Effect was published by Xbox and the developer would later be bought by EA who took publishing of the game.
GTA 4 and Call of Duty had timed exclusivity DLC deals with Xbox.
Timed exclusivity is a thing but permanent exclusive is another like...
"Disney has a hard time making Disney+ profitable and maintaining subs"
Disney are in a situation where they are in because of the values they have and are instilling in their movies and shows. Their mediocre releases have killed the superhero genre as well as their adamant pursuit of identity politics.
I have not watched Wakanda Forever and Ant-man...I can but I won't because I am tired of being preached to in movies. They have lost lots of subscribers because...
"There is no "evening ground" because Xbox has participated in those same tactics — and this is why it's so bad to be so skewed. You literally excuse one and condemn the other, when they both had their hands in the cookie jar. Makes talking to you about this subject pointless."
Xbox has participated only once with Tomb Raider and the whole industry painted them as the Villain. Sony does the same with Final Fantasy 16 it is all sunshine and rainbows. ...
See this is why Square are such shabbles right now.
They are a perfect template for a classic FF7 remake which could work great possibly for FF8 and FF9 remake.
But after some weird big brain activity, they decided, No let's release this game exclusively on ios.
Do everyone a favour and release the games on consoles.
Redfall was not pulled since it was not made for it PS5. It was not announced for ps5.
Also if you are so caring about platforms being pulled, Riddle me this, why was Stellar Blade made exclusive on PlayStation when the first trailer had it being released for Xbox as well?
No PlayStation fan has an answer for that...
@Flawlessmic
"Games on Sony's platform tend to sell better than xbox that's a fact, especially Japanese games."
They sell better because there are a small amount of gamers that play Japanese games on Xbox they are 99% of them are on PlayStation. So that means 99% of the sales number outweigh the Xbox by a large majority.
Xbox was not able to sustain a community of gamers who play Japanese games. Because for a decade and a half, there were no Japan...
Xbox bought those studios so the IP belongs to them. Playstation are buying studios that are making GAAS games.
If Xbox wanted to keep games off PlayStation they would have done so with Pysconauts, Deathloop, Ghostwire, wasteland 3, Outer Worlds and many other games. This alone flips the whole narrative on its head.
Also, if Xbox wanted they would have been made COD exclusive to Xbox but they have not. Saying that they will betray the deal afterwards is nonsensical...
The volume at the rate at which they acquire studios is not normal and not the nurturing image that Sony fans paint them. The purchases started coming a year after MS started buying studios so it's very obvious that this is a reaction to Xbox because before they were many moves like that.
One thing that Playstation do is very obvious but everyone turns a blind eye to it. They selectively get games to be exclusive to their platform. FF16, FF7 remake, SF5, Silent Hill 2 remake and ...
Everyone who is an FF fan knows that FF6 changed gaming storytelling forever.
