Yep, it had sold 8mil as of 1.5 years after launch and they (internally) considered it a failure.

But the game was good, it's still frustrating to see how they've left it along the roadside to die while simultaneously going off and acquiring live service game studios... changing times and tides, I guess.

Hopefully they let Bend go off and do something creative, something like a Syphon Filter remake/reboot.

The game looks pretty fun, going to grab it. Love the art style too.

It looks like they're flooding most stock into the US. Walmart US keeps getting it in stock - not sure if they ship to Canada though (or what the exchange rate is like).

@SonyStyled I've been using PS store since the PS3 and I've literally never seen that card. Where is it on the store?

I will admit I don't read social media much though, at least not consistently, and I normally opt out of all marketing emails (not just for games, but for everything).

Can’t wait for his follow up on NFT’s…

Scalpers being scalpers. Hopefully no one is silly enough to pay 600 for this.

I would’ve much preferred that they buy Konami (or their IPs) or Square than this.

3bn dollars on Bungie is a waste.

Interesting, I've literally never seen or heard of that in my life. You can even customize the design to have Uncharted etc on it! And you can redeem the points for PS Store currency cards.

I wonder why they don't advertise this more / at all, I would've taken one ages ago.

I don't believe so - they never actually removed them from people who already owned them, you just can't make a new purchase of them currently.

That plus they pulled them from all services like PSNow, GamePass etc.

Other companies on big game anniversaries: "Here's a free nextgen upgrade!" "We're doing a remaster/remake!"

Konami: "Here are the old games back that we removed from the store. Enjoy!"

So Bing Rewards on my PS5 - I like it. Hopefully I can use the points towards subscriptions too (presumably yes, since they can be bought via the PS store).

I'm surprised neither Sony or MS have launched a rewards credit card to be honest. Similar to Apple or BestBuy. Buy things on your card, get PS/Xbox reward points.

Awesome news and well deserved - RE2 remake is a solid remake that does the original justice, while modernizing and improving it.

Also love that they gave us the next gen upgrades for free.

LOL Well that was unexpected. Amateur hour. The intern paralegal must’ve screwed up.

“ Microsoft lets you play illegally pirated Sony and Nintendo games.”

Emulators are not illegal / piracy.

Always thought they would end up a Sony studio. Never even heard of Nordisk.

@Hatchet

"where did you go to school"
One of the top comp-sci colleges in the country, thanks for asking!

"the engine has very little to do with matters. Some, but not a great deal. It has more to do with mechanics/level design"

My god, where did YOU go to school? The engine is where level streaming & loading is implemented. Unless you're suggesting they used Unreal but then went and built their own ...

If it runs on a PC, it'll run just fine on an Xbox Series X lol.

Just makes me hyped for the remakes. R* as of lately hasn't been great, so hopefully they let Remedy drive the thing.

Its only possible on PS5 spec drives, just like Godfall, GT7, HFW etc. Yet somehow it will also magically work on PC's without PS5 spec drives.

It's not even a custom engine, it's Unreal Engine, so it'll run just fine on PS4, PS5, PC, XB1, XSX - and with a bit of work, even Switch - but the load times will be worse on slower drives.

"Know why you won't see Ratchet and Clank on PC?"
Who said we won't? People said ...

Yawn, we hear this story all the time and it's very rarely true. We all know it would run just fine on a PS4, and it will run just fine on PCs with similar spec drives when it launches there.
