How could suits and big ups in sony did not see it. 20 seconds into the trailer I already did not like this game and could not wait for the trailer to end. How could it happen?

      @@irbisae4964I swear they don’t do any market research anymore. The game was in development for 8 years so basically as soon as Overwatch came out. Even if it had come out 8 years ago, it’s still a worse Overwatch. Now there’s Overwatch 2 which is completely free! They thought people would spend $40 on this?

In fact, if the Concord developer's source is true, then prior to Sony's involvement, $200million dollars was used just to bring Concord to its Alpha state, which the source mentions being in a laughably poor state. This shitty Alpha state was the reason why Sony would later have to invest a additional $200 million just to get Concord to a viable product state.

      They should have invest the money in a true next gen game like uncharted 5 to release it at the PS5 Pro launch day. Who wants to buy a 800$ system (with disc drive) to play old games with slighty better graphics.

    • @arslanmalik151

      @alexh7513 I would want to use that money to bring back there older games . Come on who wouldn't want to buy . Gravy rush 4k collection. Bring back PS1,PS2 era games like PaRappa the Rapper collection, Ape escape, Syphon Filter , Siren . Come on where are heading back to the 2000 era . And these games would work to bring back nostalgic . For whatever reason they don't want to bring back there older games for whatever reason. At least invest in smaller first party budget games . At least something to bring me back to PlayStation. Since I have disliked the company . Due to every game they making is copying last of us . Or they are trying to be like cinematic movies . But most of my dislike for the company. Is when they move their main HQ from Japan to America.

Honestly not that big of a deal as the end result looks about the same to me, but it's a top 5 Ys game and under appreciated so hopefully more people play it with this new release.

    Don’t see anyone talking about this. But we assume “switch 2” would be on able to play ps4 and Xbox one gen games natively. Those games were anywhere from 10gb to 100+ gb with certain games. Unless Nintendo does something major with there cartridges. Seems like half of games would be on the cartridge or most likely even less. Which would make a physical copy useless. This could be a big blow to your physical media on switch. Which was one of the last consoles still fully on board with it.
