Dredd- finally fixed this wrong of never seeing this movie 11/10 on the badass scale. Go watch if you haven't and if you have it's probably been a while since you last watched it anyways

Outside of Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon Legends A-Z there's not really anything I'm looking forward to. It would be neat if the Soul Reaver 1&2 Remaster does good enough that we get a Blood Omen 1&2 and Defiance Remaster if not an announcement of a new game in the Legacy of Kain series.

As of right now I think the worst album this year is
Incubus - Morning View XXIII

The re-recording of this Album is just... Bad. Brandon Boyd just sounds off to me. The bass is almost non-existent and whenever you do hear it, it's very muted. Unless they aren't allowed to make money off that album due to some weird copyright BS, I think it was a bad idea to remake this album.

It's  confirmed that Concord was in development for 8 years not 4.i'm also willing to believe that if the game was in such an unplayable state when Sony bought Concord that the budget would balloon in and attempt to get it playable when bringing on other devs.

The only thing that keeps me from thinking this real is why sell it for $40 and not $70?. At 400mil this is one of the most expensive budgets for games, hell no other Sony titles come that close. Looking at other media only 3 movies have had a budget of over 400mil (excluding the last 2 avengers as those were filmed back to back.)
Star wars the force awakens
Star wars rise of Skywalker
Jurassic world fallen kingdom

There's a lot to consider with this. Also that 400mil doesn't include the firewalk Studios acquisition. I'm willing to bet at some point there are going to be documentaries made about the failure of this game not just by some random youtube documentaruon too. I'm willing to say this game is one of the biggest flops in media, not just games at this point.

Personally I'd say Microsoft is more like Disney than Nintendo is... After all both are buying up properties and IPs then gutting them into an unrecognizable state.

I doubt it's their biggest flop, but I fully expect this to be shut down by the end of the year. These Overwatch clones just can't capture the same lightning in a bottle. I don't know why Sony needs this. They have Helldivers 2 which is doing gangbusters. The game looks totally phoned by a bunch of people who were forced to make this. No love, no personality, just literally made to make money.
Why do you doubt this being their biggest flop?

Sony as a whole also has movie flops that cost way more. Destiny has also been a huge loss for them so buying Bungie was not the long term money making machine they thought they would have. Sony has been around for a long time. They have had bigger losses, this isn't the worst of them. They have had multiple online multiplayer games like MAG that flopped hard. They shuttered Zipper Interactive after poor sales of the last SOCOM game and Unit 13 for Vita. The Vita itself was a huge flop despite it's great reception and sales shortly after launch. Concord is a blip in their history of flops.
Well, it's about being PlayStation's biggest flop but yes they have many movies that fail. Destiny isn't a flop but it's not covering the costs of their acquisition. MAG and Unit 13 combined didn't cost nearly as much as Concord. Not sure if the Vita turned a profit or not but I feel like they probably still lost more with Concord.

Don't forget that Sony also acquired Firewalk Studios, the team behind Concord last year. between how bad the game did, it's budget (which I've seen numbers between $100,000,000 and $250,000,000) and the Studio Acquisition (can't fine a number). Considering what the Break-Even point can possibly be I'm thinking it might be one of the biggest AAA flops

Okay so according to information I read on Forbes...
- around 25,000 units sold
- estimated $1 million earned from those sales
- budget for the game was around $100 Million

Ignoring that they just put into a calculator 25,000x 40 into a calculator to get the 1 million number... If these numbers are correct (which this also forgets the % steam, Epic and physical stores take so they can profit off the game) that means in less than 2 weeks they only made less than 1% of their budget back. The first week is when most games tend to make the most Money in their lifetime.

Now take this with a grain of salt as I don't know all the variables so it could be more or most likely less. If you Factor in the other variables your looking at <1% of the budget made back. Using just what Steam's share is said to be (which quick search says is 30%) for simplicity of the 10k in PC sales, also saying PS5 sales 100% is counted. you're looking at around $880,000 or 0.88% of the budget made back... Yikes
