(Video) The Dreams Beta is no longer under NDA, so here is the full video showcasing the most liked creation so far : PS4

Amazing. I really can't wait to dive deep and explore how their engine works.

Scene transitions need some work.

Playing this level, it felt quite a long way short of amazing.

NetEase acquired a minority stake in Quantic Dream and they will make multiplats from now on.

Can't say that I'm too surprised or broken up about this. I believe I mentioned before how I think, that QD can't really grow with the games they are making (in terms of the financial performance), as they are pretty much capped out. Which is rather problematic for a studio whose games aren't exactly massive successes, but continue to strive to be AAA. Those games aren't getting cheaper, so it was pretty much just a matter of time until it wasn't worth it for Sony to keep funding those projects any more. Also QD doesn't strike me as the kind of developer that would change the type of game they make, so that's pretty much out of the question as well.

I do hope that Sony puts the freed up budget from this to something cool and worthwile.

Also I would not in the slightest be surprised if QD's next project bombs horribly, games of this level can actually benefit from exclusivity notably.

That's worrisome I guess. Without having fanboyism to market their next games, it could easily flop as you said. Hopefully it doesn't end up like Supermassive games where they "flopped" after Until Dawn.

Can I just say how much I dislike posts like this?

Refering to a random post, that for a non-user will essentially be impossible to find to judge what Zhuge actually "teased". And of course nobody else in the thread is even reacting to it, to maybe ask what post he might be talking about. Just link the dang post you're talking about.

Kingdom Hearts 3 is bonkers and I love it.

Might want to remove the quote, when you post links on this forum it quotes the post at the top of the page for some reason.

And yeah that is annoying, he probably didn't post a link because he couldn't be bothered looking for it. I'm sure he'd try and find it if someone asked.

Sony PlayStation: First Party Studios |OT4| Because we're skipping 3 | ResetEra

Sony are on track to have an extremely strong fiscal year. In fact this year will yield the best results for the Game and Network Services division in the company's history. Once again growth is being driven by the network services segment with full game downloads, add on content and subscription services boosting the bottom line.

 

   

 

 2019 will be another solid year for the platform due to the large install base, growing network sales, strong third party software, first party software and back catalog. Lineup for the first half of the year is set but second half is still in flux. Sony also has a couple of unannounced games (already existing IP) with PS4 in mind but I'm conscious that there have been discussions around making them cross gen/next gen titles. In general, most of the focus for Sony 1P is on PS5 right now. It is still early to talk about next gen but I imagine we'll hear some whispers come out of GDC.

 Overall there is a push to further invest in PSN and focus on expanding the services ecosystem around the PlayStation brand. I'm not sure if much of it will be realised this year, but there is definitely a lot in the pipeline for next gen. Overall there isn't much to talk about right now. But when there is I'll update this post.

Yeah, the story is unbearably cheesy, but the game's fun.

Ah, ok thanks. Like I thought this sounds a lot different than "they are planning for more games in the second half of the year". Sounds more like certain titles currently aiming at 2019 could end up getting delayed.

Where did he buy it from?

That happened to me with a Yu-Gi-Oh game.  
Opened it in the parking lot, it was empty.  
I think Mom went in for like 30 minutes to get a new one.

No wonder that place is going down the shitter.

Gamestop 

Was it still wrapped? 

Sometimes weird things happen at the factories. 

Or it's GameStop's fault. I've heard they often package used games as new.

Apparently they do, but surely no one returned KH3 on its first day of sale? And even if they did Gamestop won't have had time to put it in a new package on the shelf.

Today, 2,059 days after Sony's E3 2013 conference, everything shown there has now come out.
