That is what makes it weird, it was clearly not built to be a product for mass adoption. It doesn't even support enough markets for that to be possible, however, that doesn't fit Amazon's MO. So the end result is this bizarre thing.

Yeah... those bugs are not behaving as they should. Way too passive.

That would be a good justification if GoW wasn't a cross-gen released with a market potential of over 130 million. Whereas the Switch moved only around 114 million.

The reason is more likely to do with the franchise power. On that front Pokemon is miles ahead of GoW.

Luna is a super bizarre experiment because on paper it could find itself a niche. Contrary to Stadia, it runs on normal Windows machines so the price to keep the service up is much lower as is getting new games into the platform. The support for multiple devices and multiple types of input also could make it a compelling offer and its basic tier is included with Prime.

But that doesn't matter if the service is only available in one region and the library is piss poor. ...

Here it lost to the normal Switch and PS5+Fifa bundle on Amazon's top sales. But both the Series S and X managed to sell better than all the other PS5 versions as well as the Switch Lite/OLED, so it was overall a solid performance by all the platforms.

Yeah, I agree. If anything it reminded me more of Dino Crisis 1, particularly the atmosphere and puzzles.

I mean Before Crisis never left japan and was a phone game. A western "release" only happened a couple of years ago when a group of fans translated and remake the thing in RPG maker. While Dirge of Cerberus definitely has its fans but is at the very least a flawed third-person shooter.

It would be interesting seeing those games being remade and personally I'm much more into remakes of bad/mediocre games. But the chances of us seeing those are super slim.

Well, because as always the headline just cut all the context surrounding what he actually said.

"I have a lot of friends that worked on Stadia and were there at the beginning of it. I love the technology investment that they made. I thought they did a good job building out a cloud platform, and the hardware that they had was strong."

What based on other commentaries and reviews of cloud-based solutions, seems about right. The cloud infrastructu...

Not exactly baffling, Sony appears to not give much credit to that game even though is one of the most regarded titles of the PS4. Maybe when a "remake/remaster" comes around.

Nah buddy, I don't buy the games.
But that doesn't change the fact that my opinion and yours are worth even less than those cups when literal millions of others keep banking the franchise. You can cry all you want, but that is just how reality works.

I wouldn't call it an MMO, it lacks the massive aspect of those games. It is a Multiplayer Online RPG though, so maybe a MORPG or something like that.

And your opinion.... all of our opinions don't matter as long as the game makes money. That is how it works, the vocal minority can scream as much as they want, if the game makes money then it's not bombing.

Pokemon is one of those games that I feel a lot of people don't really care about the game as much as they care about the community. So the technical issues or even the game features are secundary as long as we get a new wave of theory crafting, community art, etc.

Nah, reviews don't matter when it is one of the most-sold games of the franchise in many regions.

@Lightning77

They own the IP, they don't own the publishing rights of those games therefore they can't willy-and-nilly create a remaster for another platform without Nintendo's approval. And that is the opposite of hurting themselves, creating a game for the 9th gen consoles is much more expensive and the same public already made it clear that they are not interested in the franchise with the poor sales of the first Bayo.

I mean it has to be balanced, bad software sales paired with bad hardware sales. /s

They haven't gone harder on emulators because they are a completely legal piece of software as long as they don't use stolen code. And there is a precedent to it thanks to Sony, so Nintendo would just be wasting their time and money going after them.

They are definitely not hurting themselves, because the other option would be for the franchise to have died on the first game. And now that is big enough to maybe survive as a self-published work, it wouldn't make any sense as parts 2 and 3 would still be exclusive to Nintendo consoles.

So unless they reboot the whole series, releasing as a Nintendo exclusive just make the most sense.

Don't get me wrong, I think the Switch needs a refresh more than anything at this point. However, if Pokemon S&V showed anything is that we need a developer other than Gamefreak to make the pokemon games.
