But the steam chart told me it did better than Doom.

But in all seriousness, good for them. They need that come back if they want to get back their groove.

They should have stuck with SOCOM and “nurtured” (the word often used by Sony faithful who over the years told me papa Sony does for all their devs and games) the IP to the point were it was a mp mainstay on their platform the way Gears and Halo are for Xbox. People actually enjoyed playing that one as I recall.

…i was always worried about why all of Sonys bets were shooters, but how did they pick so many in the same genre of shooter?

My guess is because 3rd person is the style of game they have the most success with.

But mixing Fortnite and The Division seems weird to me because of how differently they play.

(Sorry, I meant extraction)

Oh yeah, I guess because all the talk about extraction being the new BR?

I can’t see it, but what is this about?

We’re just about 16 days away from Xbox’s summer show, doesn’t feel that way to be honest, like wow, already? and also, this year is flying by, like slow down a little year would ya..? lol.

A tweet informing that Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has sold 500K copies in 2 days.

100% pure Organic growth, remember when everyone couldn’t stop taking about developing studios “organically”? :laughing: It’s working out awesome for Firewalk and Deviation and Haven and…

Have any of you guys picked up fantasy life? I liked the one on 3ds but I’m only really interested in getting this to play coop with my wife who likes these kind of games. I heard couch coop sucks and is not the same as playing online with friends?

It’s like that one guy said. There’s no need to hype it up anymore because so many games were released and they proved themselves that they are worthy to stay in the industry.

That pretty good and yeah, even if people interpet the 2 million players on Xbox as game pass only. It shows DooM is doing pretty good.

As for Fatasy Life, it looks pretty cute and chill, people who love farming games would have a blast playing together(if there’s more to the farming than shown in the trailer I watched).

If I do play this game I would likely just stick to combat, with some gathering for ingredients.

Yup, time has been moving quick because gaming wise Xbox has hit their stride.

I’m watching a video about the game and local co-op has player 2 control a pet bird. No split screen, so no camera controls for the player 2.

They’re also not able to do much, gather resources, chop down trees, attack enemies and heal player 1 seem to be the only things they can do.

Edit: it also takes about an hour of player one playing to unlock local co-op, about 2 hours for online co-op.

Edit 2: Only side quest can be done together in online co-op, the main story is single player only.

The silence makes me more excited for it, especially because they seem to be announcing games closer to launch now.

I assume that they are satisfied with the numbers, they announced it pretty quick.

Portfolio doesn’t guaranteed easy success. The studio is run by Blizzard veterans.

I would assume they’re hapoy with how DooM is doing. It also looks like Doom is now more popular on console than PC.

Take it as you would, but if true, this game either doesn’t see the light or it will be out around next Xbox.

I’m betting that it gets cancelled and the studio is shuttered; not because I want that to happen at all, but because Sony has proven time and time again that they are wholly incompetent with service titles, and when a company isn’t seeing growth like they haven’t been, closures are going to continue :broken_heart:
