Literally this has nothing todo with if a game is a big blockbuster or not. Plenty of games are 90+ metacritic titles and they are not big blockbusters. All this shows is that Sony wants the games it publishes to be of the highest quality they can be and that in their eyes the best way of measuring that is metacritic. Whilst imperfect I can see why they have chosen that method.

Flaws with this: a) so yes the exclusivity was 1 year but we don't know if that is for the whole of ff7 or each part separately? It could well be that exclusivity actually means 1 year after the release of the whole thing in which case a year after part 3 releases, surely? b) they now have a deal for ps5 exclusive dlc on ps5 which could well mean the excluvity contract has been adjusted and extended .

C) "Microsoft seems to have built up a good relationship with sq...

@bloodyborne are you dense? I don't want to drop consoles, I'm perfectly happy playing my ps5. The fact is that the market in Japan has changed dramatically however with people playing consoles and pc's less and less and playing more and more mobile games. YOU said you want Sony to focus on Japan. I am telling you that theybare but not in the way you meant. They are following the local market trends and making mobile games to sell/make money off over there. They will release them ...

They didn't a new studio pitched it and was working on it, Sony felt that it was costing that studio too much so got some naught dog devs to help. New studio leadership didn't like that as it removed some creative control given some of those devs worked on the OG. So now a new team at ND is finishing it. The whole point was to package the remake with an upgraded tour and multilayer on ps5.

Lol you realise them entering mobile market is then remaining Japanese focused then??? Because its well documented Japanese consumers have abandoned home consoles for mobile gaming.

Lol you are kidding me Microsoft has a history of not being able to jiggle a handful of studios effectively let alone 23.

You missed that santa Monica has a bee team working on another title and that guerilla has more than one team. Also insomniac now has 3 or 4 teams set across 3 locations... the tram that made miles morales is not the same team that made the first spidey game. Many of them came in at the end of the first title then split off to make miles morales. So who knows what they are doing. Housemarque are about to release a new ip and I coukd see Sony purchasing them. Blueprint just finished the denons...

Hardly, he's worked for playstationnfor near 30 years. He's gone from success to success and is despite some morons whing about nonsense and blaming things on him thst he doesn't actually decide doing perfectly well. He has launched the ps5 which has sold record breaking numbers during a pandemic thst completely turned many aspects of delivering s product on its head, he managed to release it ontime. They have a new air Headset coming next year with a much requested upgrade to the...

The Japanese Market game up on home consoles period.

1881d ago 10 agree1 disagreeView comment

Its not that Sony are going in the other direction it's that the Japanese Market has gone in the other direction. Sony didn't change Japanese consumers moved more towards mobile gaming and handhelds. Whilst the console market has ballooned world wide its shrunk considerably in Japan. As a consequence it clearly is not a viable business decision to be funding quirky Japanese games that will sell very few if any units outside of Japan. It's really quite straight forwards. For every ...

this was the case via remote play from launch.

they literally patched this issue a week after launch.... and the games causing issues also got patches resolving the matter. MY ps5 spends most of it's time in rest mode when not in use.

Reason there still isn't support for M.2. expansion is because there aren't any with specs available atm anyway.... aren't expected to be till end of the summer at earliest.

actually sony's record label makes them loads of money, the mobile phones unit has plenty of success. Their cameras yes make them money but so does the film studio. PS3 backwards compatability via software is always going to be incredibly hard if not nigh impossible.

How do you know that? For all you know they couldn't get it to work properly/ to the high standard people would expect of them on enough games to make it worthwhile so was canned?

Wanting games that target the whole market not just niche games that sell in japan and take years sometimes for people abroad to have any interest in them is just basic business sense especially with handhelds and mobile games dominating the Japanese market and console market share and make up ever diminishing market share. They didnt say they don't want games that appeal to Japanese market. They said they don't want games that will only sell in Japanese market and not sell to many ...

I mean parts of his article were just abject nonsense. "Didn't support or market dreams" Sony had that game everywhere and marketed it continuously at every major event on tv and billboards etc for literally years prior to its release.
