Absolutely nothing wrong with playing old games on a next gen console - millions are doing it every day on their PS5.

If it didn’t matter / people didn’t care about it, back compat wouldn’t exist.

Also JFO had a good PS5 update that adds 60fps.

The reason it’s a lackluster PS+ addition is because it’s a game that is old and regularly on sale - the deluxe edition is down to $7.49 on PSN right now.

They’d probably end up having Nixxes or one of their other PC porting studios port it tbh. Like you said, PD barely handles one platform in a timely manner.

GT7 on PSVR2 is 100% going to happen - it’s just a question of when.

I wouldn’t put “sim” racing games like GT and Forza in the same bucket as FS though.

GT isn’t even a real racing sim, it’s too arcadey to fall into that bucket, there are far more sim-like games out there.

Racing is more fun than sim flying realistic jets IMO - give it a go if you haven’t already :)

So now PC gamers are MS shills? Most PC gamers dislike Windows and the Windows store with a passion lol.

@repsahj Japan doesn’t have a “Christmas season”. It’s not a big holiday there with tons of gift giving etc like NA and Europe.

@Maximu: Definitely inferior in terms of power (and user experience in many areas) - but software wise it definitely stands up well.

@Knush

You are doing misleading math though.

You’re adding up 3 SKUs of the switch and only 1 SKU of the Xbox.

We’ve heard that one before. It’ll come as soon as their engine supports it, if it doesn’t already.

“ Oof, Switch sold more last week than Series X lifetime total.”

Turns out this is incorrect actually now that I re-read the numbers.

Switch this week: 173,083
Xbox Series lifetime: 397,286

So it managed about half, which is still impressive.

“ 1% of games in year are the ones that make the diference.”

Not really though:

Remove the other 99% and there’s no reason to buy a console.

Remove the 1% and you’ve still got tons of games for the year plus the GOTY.

Also, HoL is doing extremely well on Steam - a platform that has more games than PS and Xbox combined. Perhaps it’s just a fun game that GP helped give visibility to?

Not everyone in the world celebrates Christmas :p

Really hoping this is good. Don’t screw it up EA.

Meanwhile, Switch “rekt” both of them…

Sony and Microsoft are both basically extinct in that region now.

Xbox has always sold terribly in JP though, so that’s nothing new really. I think you’ll see me become president before that changes :p

The big difference in the last year or two is that any foothold PS had in JP has evaporated, Nintendo has that country on lockdown.

I still ask though… who doesn’t have a switch at this point. Especially in Japan. The numbers are nuts.

The rules are the rules 🤷

It’s important to give traffic/hits to the real source who spent the time finding and sharing the information.

It won’t really though. It didn’t hold back the mainline series back when they were doing versions for Wii.

If a reduced res/visuals/framerate version isn’t an option, they will just be very cut down, different experiences that share name and setting and nothing else.

Switch is still dominating Japan.

Nearly 3x the sales of PS5. 8 of the top 10 games are Switch, 26 of the top 30.

Switch sure has some legs on it.

Depends what the experiments are.

If it’s a horror game like PT - great. If it’s another Uber eats delivery simulator, I’m less interested.

Either way, I’ll try it out since it’ll be in GP and has Kojimas name on it (probably multiple times 😝)

Obviously Overdose. I guess we’ll be seeing an official unveil and trailer in 2023.

Kojima would totally include the 60 minute pregame show as a cutscene :p
