We've reached peak nonsense BS hysteria click bait now with Concord

Amazing.

I’m not saying it didn’t cost X amount but in all my years working in games & software, I’ve always had difficulty knowing how much the project or product has cost to make, the more senior I’ve got.

For 1 game I worked on, even I knew how much it cost and how much it sold as I heard through the grapevine. Years later, I bumped into 2 guys who should have knew the numbers, and when conversation shifted to sales I said that it cost X and sold more than Y. One of the people I was speaking to said bollocks it didn’t sell that while the other said no, it cost less and sold more.

When even the Developers don’t know / remember, I wouldn’t trust any website or individual like them. Even when you see an internal document, attempting to cost such a long running project is difficult and well guarded.

The one part of the video above that rung true and a term I’ve not heard coined before is toxic positivity. That’s a good one and considering the failure of the project, feels like something I’ll be using to describe countless feedback meetings in the future. 😅

Gotta be $999/£949 at least I reckon for the PS5 Pro version, considering you get a PS5 Pro (£700) plus a DualSense Edge (£200) plus the charging dock (£35), plus other swag.

Honestly with the limited numbers it'll obviously sell out at any price anyhow.

It's okay in this instance because it's to drag it through the mud

I’m dreading the direct website on Thursday, it’s going to be such an epic crap show, you can’t even save your address or use Apple Pay for a quicker check out, you have to input your address for every order

The thing I just noticed, you have to sign in with your PSN anyway, and it displays all your join dates everything from your account, so why the hell can’t the loyal customers from day1 reserve units?

That's a really good idea. They should have implemented some sort of loyalty window.

What is it that you're aiming to order? (Just being nosey)

PS5 pro.

Because I've lost track of time in my life at this point it's come up that at the end of this year I'm on course to get a couple of hundred quid in vouchers. If I sell my PS5 I reckon I could get a Pro when itsl freely comes up (assuming post launch analysis shows its worthwhile) for around £250

Hmm, come on Nintendo, I wanna know my options!

[wakka]

PS5 pro.

Oof with only ~12k units that's going to be a tough call dude. Good luck, I hope you get one.

[fishbowlhead]

I doubt I’ll get a special edition PS5 pro, hopefully I can get a regular at least.

[Atticus]

Dunno if anyone’s after one (or even if they’re in short supply) … but PS5 Disc Drives are in stock at HMV at present

Ghost of Yutei announced from Sucker Punch, coming next year, wooop

Horizon Zero Dawn remaster, honestly this looks so much better than the original.

Astro bot getting free add on this winter.

Fantasian is getting a console & pc port.

Lunar 1 & 2 coming to PS4 & 5.

Lego Horizon Nov14th.

Amd some more games for PS5 Pro that are getting pro badges, bringing the list to 20 so far.

[huxley]

Horizon Zero Dawn upgrade is £10, the full standard game is £7.79 (PC) on cd keys at the moment.

Not surprised to see Stellar Blade get the most obvious crossover ever out the way asap. Yutei looks solid and the Astro Bot DLC will be nice. Horizon, for me, was as expected - remastering a PS4 game to look closer to a PS4 sequel is not anywhere near enough gain for me to warrant even the £10 upgrade. I enjoy the games but they're not replayable and much like Days Gone will be if it's true, Sony's wasting Nixxus on this stuff.
