Support NeoGAF

[FatKingBallman]

Returnal is an awesome game.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Very happy for HouseMarque. I hope Sony continues to support them.

 

[kyoji]

ofc it is, game is fun as hell. HM crafted a very addicting world that focus on addicting gameplay complimented by a cryptic storyline.

Not bad for a 'double a' game. Haters gon hate .

 

[Bartski]

sure is successful at being a damn great game so that's nice to see.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Of course, it's successful for them. What are they going to say? 'This game we just released is shit and so is the studio that made it, all in all we fucked up, lol'

I mean it's not a shit game or studio at all, but why would they call it anything other than a success?

 

[Con-Z-epT]

Deserved!

Exceptional game and a great evolution of the studio in comparison to their previous efforts.

Lets hope they support it further with some DLC.

Why Days Gone isn't there then? Of course they will say it is succesful. :/

 

[SSfox]

I don't care about sales of games, I care about quality of games. But it's always nice to see a great game having its deserved success.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Why Days Gone isn't there then? Of course they will say it. :/

Days gone is there in the images above. It says including New Successful IP, so they went with returnal and GoT as being more recent.

So why isn't Destruction All-stars listed?

If something isn't successfully, companies usually don't talk about it.

They could just be quiet.

Succesful NEW IP. Did they said the same for Days Gone?

Maybe because it wasn't an AAA title. I'm just saying no sit they said it's successful, it would have to be an absolute shitshow for them not to say that ... hardly a high bar is all I'm saying.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Succesful NEW IP. Did they said the same for Days Gone?

Well, they listed it as part of their IP Powerhouse, so yes I'd say they said the same.

 

[SLB1904]

No. Read properly. Days gone is on "sony is a new iP powerhouse category "
Also Sony beef with Days gone was its meta score. The game sold well

 

[Mr Hyde]

Very happy for Housemarque and Returnal doing good. The game is straight up GOTY material. I hope it turns into a franchise just to spite the haters.

 

[kikii]

still waiting "save" patch for that game

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

No. Read properly. Days gone is on "sony is a new iP powerhouse category "

And GoT and Returnal are newer than Days Gone, so they're pumping up those two for the investors.

hardly a high bar... one of the best game releases this year lmao

 

[Heisenberg007]

Days gone is there in the images above. It says including New Successful IP, so they went with returnal and GoT as being more recent.

Okay, so why isn't Destruction All Stars in there?

Returnal was the #1 game in digital downloads on the PlayStation store for the month of April, despite releasing on April 30th. It did sell very well.

Almost in the top 20!

Man, you should just top. Tsushima has sold over 5 million copies ( over 2 million in 3 days ) on install base od +100 million PS4s. Returnal was in Top 5 after 1 day of tracking on PS Store download list across Europe and US. I'll bet it has sold at least 1 million on 8 million PS5 install base. Of course they will say it is successful on that small portion of PS5 install base.

 

[Matt_Fox]

Ghost Of Tsushima sold 6.5 million copies with an 83 Metacritic.

Returnal has an 86 Metacritic but isn't going to come remotely close to Tsushima in sales, due to the shortage of PS5 consoles and (*whisper it*) the high bar price point.

But you'd have to be a console warrior not to consider both games successful.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Anyway, I'm not going to keep responding to all you guys. Returnal is the best game eva! Can't wait to see what Sony claim is their next huge success so the investors know!

Take the L and move along

I've already declared my own contributions a success, in true Sony fashion Anyway, I said I was off. Enjoy the success guys!

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Okay, so why isn't Destruction All Stars in there?

Returnal was the #1 game in digital downloads on the PlayStation store for the month of April, despite releasing on April 30th. It did sell very well.

It did the same in Japan, but only sold roughly 2000 copies. That's why these rankings are pretty much useless if you want to gauge the success of a game.

 

[FatKingBallman]

For the record, InFamous SS has sold 1 million on 7 million install base back then. Sony said it is a success. Cut the crap. It is a sale success on that small install base.

 

[FatKingBallman]

It was in top 5 across PS Store US/Europe after 1 day of tracking.

 

[GymWolf]

A great tps, a bit of a shitty roguelike.


They need an horde\coop mode where you just shoot mofos ASAP.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

It was in top 5 across PS Store US/Europe after 1 day of tracking.

And it was #1 in Japan, and yet barely sold any copies. That's entirely my point. Just wait for some real numbers before making celebratory threads. Unless you enjoy crow that is

 

[kyoji]

just got off the phone with 911, the wambulance is on its way! try to stay calm and dry those tears.

 

[FatKingBallman]

Across US/Europe there are few millions of PS5, in Japan around 500k. And Japanese aren't fans of roguelikes. Use some logic, man.

 

[Rolla]

When you look back at all those who insisted Returnal was a flop...

 

[FatKingBallman]

For the record, Hades launched on June 24 last year in Japan. Back then there were over 14 mil. Switches. Hades didn't make a dent there, even on eshop.

 

[TheGejsza]

This game needs a demo. It's hard to like this game by just watching the gameplay but playing it is like whole different story...

 

[SLB1904]

Bernd Lauert still going

 

[Godot25]

Like concern trolls in Microsoft's threads would like to say
..."We want to see hard numbers Sony"

Do you really want to compare Sony transparency with Microsoft lmfao

 

[Godot25]

Nope. I'm just keeping the same energy.
We know that Sony likes to brag about sales. But only if they are great

 

[Bernd Lauert]

For the record, Hades is launching on June 24 this year.

This isn't it chief.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

It's a valid point though. The oh so transparent Sony has not given us any PS5 software numbers yet. Weird.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

just got off the phone with 911, the wambulance is on its way! try to stay calm and dry those tears.

Shit dude, don't use up all your best material too early!

 

[SSfox]

Bit off topic: Btw anyone know the price of Hades on psn?

 

[The Hamburglar]

Just need the usual suspects to show the concern of low Japanese physical sales for the thread to be complete

 

[SLB1904]

Miles probably bomb as well

 

[FatKingBallman]

For the record, Hades is launching on June 24 this year.

Yeah, you're right. Missed the year. My bad. Then we will see how Japanese love roguelikes. Well, there are almost 20 mil. NSWs, compared to 500k PS5s.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Miles probably bomb as well

No, Miles sold really well. The question remains how much it sold on PS5 vs PS4.
