Why wouldn't it have to do well? Why does the PS5's performance only matter in comparison to the Series X/S? If there's more PS5's in Japan selling more software, you get more Japanese software which is among the best.
I think Sony should strongly consider how to stop hemorrhaging console buyers in the past 3 gens in one of the biggest videogame cultures in the world.
Yup. We went from a drought of L4D style games to more than i know what to do with. Put that suicide squad game on there too it looks like L4D.
It just blows my mind how Arkane is allowed to get away with their hideous art style no questions asked.
I'm not a fan of the Mario or Yoshi sidescrollers, but I prefer 2D Metroid to 3D in most cases (im a fan of Prime 2). I would say metroid is a solid 50/50 between people who prefer 2D vs 3D.
So far paced poorly but loving it. Everything shown is for this year and Dread back from the dead since 2008?? Dope.
Overall I'd say it was good but not great. BotW 2 looks incredible, Metroid was a nice surprise, SMT looks like a JRPG epic, and all of the game shown are coming this year. The new Mario Party even looks good.
Not seeing Prime 4 or Bayonetta 3 was surprising.
My main issue is the lack of new stuff, and the lack of info on 2021 games. What exactly is Scorn? And what about all the pre-rendered/in-engine stuff we’ve alreadg seen? What do Perfect Dark, Fable, Hellblade 2, Everwild, or Avowed even look like? If just one or two of those were shown it would have been a good -> great E3
I have a hard time believing even those that don't want a Series X wouldn't buy up that stock BELOW msrp and resell it on ebay for $700
It's too early to say. The xbox one outpaced the 360 for a while too, even with all the controversy it had for its first year. The 360 did have supply issues at launch as well, and it was overall just less common for people to run out and buy a new console at full MSRP in 2005 the way they do now.
That isn't to say the Series is selling badly though, i personally see it outselling the xbox one.
Theres been two since the movie, the reboot tie in and this new one.
It isnt just the jokes that were edgy. There were multiple rated T Ratchet games. Ratchet and Clank had more of a buddy cop dynamic where they brushed against each other with conflicted personalities. Now theyre just cutesy best friends without any friction or any dynamic at all. The music and aesthetics are also just less edgy. Just my personal opinion, but the older games had more character.
Ratchet and Clank used to be so much edgier. The new games look and play great, but where did the whimsical Pixar tone come from? I get they needed to sell a movie but why did it stick lol
Gears multiplayer has such a high skill ceiling and is so unwelcoming but i love that about it. Feels like a slice of old school shooters. Even the pervasive trash talk is there.
Hopefully this trims the fat off both of their E3’s. Way too much fluff
Because its news. The S is easily the least selling console WW between PS5, PS5 digital, X and S. So for it to be number one anywhere is notable and demands more scrutiny as to why thats the case, no?
I doubt they manufacture as many S as X. I think the S is popular in India because it is the cheapest entry into next gen and something like Gamepass could appeal to them over 60 dollar releases. I feel like the S was made with markets like this in mind.
This. I dont think its fair to compare either console to its predecessor at this point. Ps4 had supply issues up til March after release iirc. Xbox One never had supply problems past the first Christmas season but Series X continues to be hard to find.
The switch started off with a bang but it feels like the last big title was Animal Crossing, which itself felt like it took a while agter FE Three Houses. Pandemic mustve hit them hard
Edit: My mistake, i totally misunderstood what you guys were talking about
I actually don't disagree with Gamepass in principle, if it was more geared towards Xbox exclusives + older games from other publishers I wouldn't have as much a fear of it. But when a game like Outriders ends up day 1 on gamepass, that makes me fear for where we're going.
Is it any surprise? Nintendo profits off their hardware easily and their software sells like wildfire. They don't have a beefy subscription service
It does demonstrate how much MS makes off of Gamepass and Live despite little first party output and slow hardware sales since like 2017.
Sony is the only one here making money off of prolific first party output and popular subscriptions.
I would buy a Series X if I could find one. I haven't been able to for months on end. Can't even find their new wireless headset either. It feels like their supply problem is even worse than Sony's, it's hard to tell how it compares to previous consoles because of that.
I am optimistic about the console's future, but I'll readily admit the PS5 has all the momentum. I think the Series X/S will do better than the xbox one though.
Surprised so many don't like it. I thought it was easily their best game, which is still a 7/10 admittedly. Every once and a while it scratched that uncanny PS2 era horror vibe and for that I quite enjoyed it.
The thing with Blooper is they tell great stories and make great worlds, but their gameplay is lacking. It feels like a big team of art guys.
