Yeah and I think it's safe to assume soon this option of staying independent won't be up to UBI. One of the main reasons they struggle so much is because they have development studios in some of the most expensive cities in the world
I really hope either Ms or Sony buy them out and actually give the IP's proper care
UBI are very close to needing a merger/acquisition so not surprising at all.
Issue is many of the OG's worked on RDR2. Once their part was done they left. So this will be the first big project without much of the OG's
Them days are gone. GTA5's success has made it next ti impossible for R* fi work on a smaller project
I think we will see them release GTA6 towards end of this generation and than within the first 18 months release an updated version
RDR needs a remaster TBH with updated Controls and would love to get a remake for bully
What many don't realize is the fact a lot of the OG R* members have left already. What's sad is we are ...
Because Mom and Pop shops cost two to three times more for the same product Angie the answer
We are in rush for digital only future and that only means less options

Seriously you used Hitler as an example to say company has shady practices
You don't have to shop at GS there are many other retailers. I shop there and vast majority of my experiences have been positive and most of the employees are super nice

Almost 50% of gaming market is female according to data being pushed by some of these SJW who are only pushing their agendas
But if you look deeper only 2-4% of that comes from core gamers and rest are mobile gamers playing games like candy crush or something similar
That's why R* don't want one of their main characters to be female because it could cost them a lot of money if they alienate their core base
Seriously man I don't get the hate on GS and I guess you want even less options and give more control to the publishers
And you want thousands of people to lose their jobs because you don't like a company. One thing I have noticed is how most who hate on GS haven't shopped at the actual stores in years. Many who hate on GS have also done so listening to others negative stories or experiences. People on YT want clicks and hating on GS is the cool thing

Thing is last generation versions were just a lazy excuse because it was broken even at launch on current generation consoles
No man sky can get that praise because it was a much smaller teams, making their first game and their offices got flooded which means they lost a lot of work. CDPR was the biggest publisher in Europe, they had the resources, they had the fan hype but they wasted it all on their greed
For e...
Yes but do you remember how many patches Witcher 3 needed post launch? Because don't let nostalgia look over the fact that came also launched in a poor state but nowhere near as poor as cyberpunk
We as gamers can't really get these publishers to take us seriously if we keep defending them. For any games where you have a true AAA Blockbuster budget, resources and a big publisher there is no excuse for it to launch needing patches. Delay it till it's ready. We ...
Those who praised cyberpunk punk and defended them now see there are actual consequences to their bad decisions
There is a reason most of the original CDPR staff has left and they have gone from in house engine to UR5
main missions fun
side missions boring, repetive and game launched in a unfinished state so no it doesn't deserve more respect. we have to stop this nonsense, a publisher launches a game most people who buy day one get short end of the stick, 12-18 months later game is patched to a point where it's stable and gamers praise the devs/publisher
Is this sarcasm?
Last GOW sold 20 plus million and this one will break TLOU2 record of fastest selling in PlayStation history
Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if this game has the highest attach rate of any PlayStation exclusive. The first month we will see it so 5-7 million
It wouldn't surprise me if million haven't already pre order
BTW you brought up GTA before GTA5 most GTA games sold 25-30 million...
It's a healthy market right now. I do wonder if and when we will see the next console from Nintendo because switch is doing so well. I think they have to be aware of the fact they had a very successful Wii generation followed by utter failure of wiiu
Have y'all noticed one thing the days of consoles receiving major price drops are now long gone. In the whole life cycle we may get 1-2 official price drops . There were days when consoles use to get down to $149-$199 ...
you guys are missing the point. You both said best selling FF were truned based yet it's a small sample size. look at how many releases were turned based vs how many we have had using real time. I was speaking more from a business POV because that's what interests me. Sorry there is a business geek inside of me that will look at numbers first for some weird reason LOL

no doubt that more people are playing games now but that's n...

They really don't need to do turn based anymore because the technology is there to do everything in real time

With the amount of budget it takes to make a truly AAA Blockbuster title these publishers need and want to maximize their profits. What criteria are you using to say ever since they went real time they're bad because when the publisher is looking at the results and they see millions of copies s...

you could say the same for any big publisher. Activision didn't release on all platforms?
by end of this generation capcom and sega will not be 3rd party
Elden ring was the first game in a long time that came out with very little negativity surrounding it and now GOW is generating hype not seen before in a very long time
Sony better have some consoles ready because most recent poll that asked on which platform will you be buying GOW 89% of people said PS5 while 11% said PS4
It will be on sale for games under $20
