That's an obscure observation. But I guess it takes all sorts of apples to make an orchard.
Smart Delivery lol. Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.
Except they didn't. People on here were having a meltdown that it was going to be a $70 remake of a seven year old game, not a small $10 upgrade. You can literally see a few of them in that screenshot. You trying to retcon what everyone was saying a week ago is the exact reason he saved the screenshot, and you just justified his reason for doing it.
I'm convinced that if this had been Ghost of Tsushima 2, the same people who are now whining about "No Jin" would have been whining that "the game looks the same and has basically the same map," just like they did with God of War Ragnarok and Spiderman 2. You can't please some people.
People really don't know what the word "debunk" means. A rumor isn't debunked just because someone states their belief that it isn't true. Whether the $400 million rumor is true or not (it admittedly seems farfetched), someone saying "I don't think that's true" on Twitter doesn't debunk it. If that were the case, it was debunked by about ten different people on here within thirty minutes of the story being posted.
The people who owned this studio and sold it to Sony pulled off an amazing heist. I don't know exactly how much Sony paid for the studio, but given the money funneled into the studio's only real project, it must have been substantial. So the owners became millionaires off that sale, and in some/all cases probably continued on at Sony getting handsome salaries for several more years. All for a game and IP that have no value at all.

Definitely not BC2. I love the Bad Company games (even though everyone always pretends the first one didn't exist), but even though BC2 has achieved great respect in hindsight, at the time it came out a lot of casuals who bought COD every year either didn't know of Battlefield's existence or saw it as a knockoff of COD. Plus coming out in spring 2010 it was competing against MW2 (the original one) which came out the prior fall.
I really thought Starfield would have more of an impact than that. Just looking at the numbers from the last year, it's hard to see that it had any impact at all.
The best opportunity was BF1 vs. Infinite Warfare. I've never actually seen a worldwide sales comparison so I'm not convinced BF1 didn't eventually win, but I do know COD sold better in the US at launch, because it was the NPD #1 that year, while BF was #2.
But wouldn't you rather slap together a $700 PC that will struggle to run modern games at 1080p 60fps and won't support the new version of DLSS? I can send you a list of parts with good deals from chinesefakes.net and russianscam.io.
The good thing about a game like this with a more reasonable budget is that it isn't a situation where the game has to sell 5 million in its first two months and 10 million in its first year to be a success. So just because Astro Bot doesn't sell Spiderman 2 numbers doesn't mean it's a failure. But still, it has to have respectable sales numbers if we want more games like this.
Yep. $599 was the sweet spot for this.
That Steam pushed people away from PC gaming rather than brought them to it is one of the wildest takes I think I've ever seen on this site.
Launch PS3 could play every generation of PlayStation (except PSP) game natively. I'd love for that era of Sony to return. If the PS5 Pro did that, I'd absolutely buy it.
That's to say nothing of all the useful features PS3 included that the relevant competition either didn't have or charged extra for (free online multiplayer, standard laptop HDD rather than proprietary, built in Wi-Fi, HDMI, Blu Ray).
I understand the temptation to revert...
I'm definitely worried about this now.
Lol it's cute that you think it's going to have full BC with any consoles before the Switch. Everything else will be part of the Nintendo Online Subscription, if it is available at all.
Seriously. I'm never going to buy modern games in there but I absolutely would go in if they had a decent N64 selection.
"Xbox sales are starting to take off in Japan" is like the console version of "Gaming is about to take off on Mac." Every few years people will try to push some anecdotal incident where one Xbox game sells well in Japan or the console has a relatively good week, but it never pans out. Remember when Gears of War sold in the top ten in Japan and it was a new era?
And hopefully Steam/GOG options on PC.
I'm sure someone in Nebraska saw stacks of them at his local Best Buy.
