@@Fidelis1776 People who don't play video games buy video games and consoles for people who play them. Normies who don't look into these things are the exact demographic Nintendo targets in their advertising.
Damn. When John said if the Switch 2 is more powerful than a steam deck then it could be the default platform or the one everyone goes to it’s so true. Nintendo would get way more third party support and you have Nintendo ip which objectively are more popular than any other company’s ip atm (whether you like them or not is subjective ofc). But if that’s the case man Sony and MS REALLY gotta step it up in terms of diversifying their library of ip and creating more legacy and evergreen characters. Power and graphics are not enough anymore. You NEED exclusives to get people in to your ecosystem.
Not really, PC gaming is a different platform compared to console gaming. You always have to remember alot of us PC gamers don't have to play online. I don't care for Zelda, Mario, or Pokemon (I've played them this generation), so the switch is useless in my opinion as someone who's a primary PC gamer.
I think pre-recorded is going to work well. Get more cast on although you don’t need a ton of people. Most good gamer podcasts only have 3-5 people on. The old Spawncast was cool and all but tbh I would get annoyed with so many people talking over each other. Then you’d get people on that can only speak to very specific topics so oftentimes you wouldn’t hear from them the entire show more or less. Mystic is a great addition, OJ has been consistent, if you can get Nate and MVG back consistently then I’d be happy.
This question actually comes up a lot but it’s interesting now considering the topic of Concord. At the end of the day it’s a net positive to receive criticism than have a community of yes men. Also, as far as TH-cam is concerned, engagement is engagement. Better to have people hate watch than not watch.
The full panel only hid the fact that no one had much energy. Fewer people exposes that. As to why there's little energy, I don't know. Maybe they're just not energetic people. I mean, if you watch Colt Eastwood, both he and Magg are very energetic, and they're the only two people on the show, usually.
Plenty of other youtubers or social media personalities who would be happy to fill the space. It's one of the best gaming news podcasts on TH-cam, who wouldnt?
So apparently PlayerEssence did a preshow but didn't even show up for the show? Usually he does a "not preshow" if he's not going to appear/there's no show.
It's like after 2022 every podcast I loved changed and became unentertaining. I mean Ill still listen cause I need something for work but man I miss after shows and the whole cast. Click, mvg, Nate Jordan and even Josie and ojs fighting Kardashian talk which was hilarious. Idk if game and talk aftershow is entertaining cause I pay for too many podcasts and subs already. Spawncast was one of my free shows for work

I’m sticking to SwitchX2. “X” for 10th Gen but to the reg consumer it says 2x the switch. It also pays homage to the X1 chip even if the chip isn’t the X2. ALSO X means cross in Japan, which says it’s a sequel “X2” which the original code name was NX. we would just call it the X2
1:21:11 Sony is actually the one making things different, not just graphics. The things that i most enjoy from PS5 are the haptic feedback and the 3D audio; at least for me those two features are a dealbreaker between playing games in it vs on the Series X or any other platform that i have
I think Horizon zero dawn is a fantastic game, idk why yall keep bashing it. It's got amazing graphics, great looking machine monsters to fight in a post apocalyptic world, Aloy doesn't look ugly and she is a good person, she's generic but that applies to many video game protagonist. Horizon zero dawn sold over 24mil, Forbidden west sold over 8.4 million, that's pretty good If you compare it to final fantasy. FF7 remake only sold 7mil, ff7 rebirth 2-3mil+, FF16 only 3mil
@@G360LIVE well let's see, Click has a baby now and that comes with its own set of responsibilities. But aside from her, the others just dont show up anymore besides RGT and OJ. But thats mostly probably cause of some obligation or whatever. I dont know.. probably cause spawncast has been declining for a while now and they feel they have to show up or there wont be a stream.
Crazy news week in gaming that’s for sure. Sony lost a boat ton of money while Nintendo trying win a boat ton of money. Here’s hoping for another week, always appreciate a new spawn cast episode.
They better out the gate have an OLED model... Also, the next system is gonna have to be different enough to not confuse parents into thinking they already own it lmao... Kids are gonna be like mom it's the switch 2 lmao there needs to be a big enough difference so parents don't feel like they are just throwing money away on something they see in their own home they already bought and looks the same 😂
I used to watch Spawn cast every week, but recently skipping for some reason. I still there alot of good discussions about gaming, maybe i just dont have time anymore, others youtuber don’t show up may be the same way, life busy, move on to something else in life.
With the firewalk director already gone I doubt this studio has a future. Especially if they were this expensive. Sorry, if u demand these costs to run ur studio u gotta deliver
Sony has new customers these remasters and remakes are for them not us that played them games already they are still doing new single player IPs I don't know why everyone is getting mad calm down. Great podcast though guys
If these new customers never played the old version, why would a remaster make them want to play it now? This is the video game equivalent of flipping houses. Touch up an "old" game and charge just below full price to make you feel like you are getting a bargain.
For me these remasters from Sony are for those who haven’t bought the game previously and want the best version of the game or really love the original games and want an upgraded version of it. If you don’t want the games, then don’t buy it. Also Days Gone was fucking amazing and I will die on that hill.
I believe Concord had that sort of budget mainly because of 3 reasons: - They commissioned an entire episode of an Amazon series dedicated to it. - They avoided delaying the game at all, even though the initial reaction was straight up bad/extremely underwhelming. - Sony had already canned 6-7 GaaS games, inclunding TLoU Online after years of promising their shareholders GaaS was going to be a massive pillar for their business in the future. With all the money they wasted on this GaaS push something HAD to come out of it. Besides, it's not like they were investing in something dumb, at least in their eyes. If those goofs actually thought Concord had Star Wars like potential, they were banking on it being, not only a successful live service game (those alone print money), but also having enormous trans media potential, merchandise sales, spin-off's and possibly (down the line), a single player, standalone franchise, PS quality, 70$ game(s) set in that universe.
@@Fidelis1776 depends on the length of the episode, but it has "Blizzard level" quality to it, judging from the one shot they showed during the announcement, even the cgi cutscenes used in the game are pretty well made and not cheap at all. I don't think the 400$M is the total amount of money invested just to release the game, that's probably around 100-150$M, the 400$M is what Sony's entire budget for it was, with post-launch support and post-launch marketing. They were going to have WEEKLY cinematics added to the game and those had to be done months ahead of time, if they already had enough for the 2 seasons already planned and announced for Concord + the Amazon show, anyone can clearly see the budget rising up exponentially.
Why would they pay Amazon? Wouldn’t it be the other way. Amazon would pay to use the license. You know shows take time to make. Amazon could’ve thought it might a big hit if playstation was doing that.
@@LaztstaNd Agree to most.The Amazon deal sticks with me because we all know it was in the double digits. Even if we start at 10, that's a decent sized slice of the pie. Yeah, the $400 million is counting everything down to the hourly janitor that cleaned up after a meeting that mentioned the game so it technically counts. As mentioned, we know there was content ready to go that we never even saw because of how fast they shut it down. I honestly would not be surprised if there's at least $50 million worth of content (cut scenes, levels, modes, characters, guest characters, etc) we'll never know about unless someone steals it and dumps it online.
@@joegardner851 I think you only pay for the rights to do something with an IP, if you want to do something with an IP. Take the Zelda movie being made by Sony Pictures. Sony didn't buy the rights from Nintendo to do a movie about Zelda, Nintendo entered into a partnership with Sony to do a Zelda movie, they are paying Sony Pictures to do something, that's out of Nintendo's wheelhouse. That's Zelda of course, so it's a win-win situation for everyone involved and I'm assuming Sony Pictures was more than happy to lower their fees, for one of the most popular gaming IP's of all time. I highly doubt Amazon were the one's pushing for Sony to let them make something with a new IP.
They don't care about these games and then say, "what has Xbox released" or Xbox have no games. Just because a company has more niche category games despite the large amount of people playing it, they don't care.
People don’t show up because they don’t get paid for their time. It’s kind of crazy to show up every week for a show when you have your own audience that puts money in your pocket. Newer TH-camrs like Josie - who needs to go away because she doesn’t take this seriously - should come on for exposure and then when they outgrow what the SpawnCast can give them, you get new people. Jon has to dump people who don’t offer value or show up regularly. This is a business at the end of the day.
Unfortunately, it's likely we will have to wait. I know, it upsets me quite a bit as well. I just hope I'm wrong. And if I'm right, I hope they use a higher quality LCD with much smaller diodes than the godawful, 2000s era LCD used in the Switch launch model.
I personally don't care if they sue Palworld. Even though it seems like they couldn't get them on the designs, it's obvious they copied or were very inspired by the designs. That's my opinion. If the issue is about how Pals are caught, that's too specific and could effect other Pokemon inspired games I feel. It seems like this is more about sending a message because the game got so big.
You are spot on. As a recent law graduate, this is where people speak without knowing anything regarding the facts of the case. There is a difference between copyright, patent and trademark infringement. Copyright is exclusive rights to original work or ideas, such as a book. Patent is ownership of an invention, such as pharmaceutical drugs, and trademark is ownership of a specific and unique design of a product line and usually has “TM” or “R” following it like you can see on many brand names. Nintendo is going after alleged patent infringements, hence why the large aspect of their case surrounds this. To what extent and for what, only time will tell.
Yeah. It's very obvious Palworld put Pokémon in an AI image generator to get their designs, but it's nearly impossible prove that legally. The moment I saw what patent TCPi used to sue Palworld, I immediately had the same worry you do. Of course, TCPi wants to send a message since they also know Palword used Pokémon filtered through an AI image generator, but that's not a legally sound case so they had to go on something else. I never cared for Palworld, but I hope Palworld, while extremely unlikely, wins this case because that patent is restrictive and a win for TCPi puts other monster catching games at risk.
Exactly. To go a bit deeper, a Trademark has an "R" if it has been approved. Trademarks are almost always approved, so a "TM", meaning it's been submitted for approval, is enough to discourage other brands from filing for the same design. As for copyright, the moment you create a work, it is legally yours and is copyrighted. For corporations-especially western corporations-copyrights from creations made by employees are typically owned by their employee unless there are other contracts in place. As a copyright owner, you can allow other entities access to your work free or for a license with restrictions of your choice, e.g., payment, attribution, where and how it can be used, etc.).
Switch 2 will be ARM based so its irrelevant if it's more powerful than the X86 based Steam Deck. To put things in perspective, Switch 2 won't be as powerful as the latest iPhone or Samsung Galaxy phone. S
I’m gonna assume that the Amazon episode cost a cool fortune and Sony couldn’t get it out of the rotation without paying more money to Amazon to make up for it. Why they didn’t write it off like HBO did with Coyote and Bat Girl, I guess since the aforementioned Amazon payout. But I’m only a tomato, what would I know, but Sony got humbled hard by this.
I’m really confuse by that. Amazon would pay to use the licenses, not the other way around. Shows get made awhile before they are aired. Lets not assume anything because you don’t have evidence to support it
Netflix anime are cool to me. I don't intend on ever playing some of these series but I will watch a show on them. Edgerunners is probably more popular than the video game. I'll watch the Devil May Cry show but I'll never play the games. Castlevania was too inappropriate for me to get into.
I don’t why yall getting so bent out of shape, we Know GOT2 , Death Stranding 2 and Wolverine is coming at the least. But expecting to see at least 1st party game is asking for too much.
My only theory for the Concord budget is the seed funding, Probablymonsters set records for biggest seed funding in video games. Did Sony pick up the loans from Probalymonsters with the studio?

Totally missing the point of Sony not releasing anything on their platform except remakes of 5 y/o games or cross gen games. Keep playing dumb and coping
Ignores the mere fact that Nintendo had new releases which "you guys" didn't bother to play because your too busy complaining such as Astral Chain, Daemon x Machina, or Xenoblade Chronicles 2/3. Stop this foolishness and let Herman Hulst have it when it.comes to the current direction of Playstation isn't good. No Bloodbourne but let's green light Horizon Zero Dawn again ....
My Moms an accountant and according to U.S. tax law Sony can, with Concord, write the loss off with there profits and show less of a gain for the year, they can still use the assets, but lost a lot of money, even when they refund people they can still write it off against there profit
You’re telling me you can’t get 2-3 more people with all your clout and connections? If your heart isn’t in it Jon just stop. Otherwise try and get weekly guests.
Watch live and read the chat during a hot topic. Not everyone is built to handle that. OJ is going to mess around and actually show up to one of these conventions and see a line of people with 2K cash ready to go!
Schrier is one of the reasons for DEI in gaming companies, imo. Activist-journalists like him will basically blackmail studios to force their views in games so they don't get bad news or get investigated by the so-called gaming journalists...
He blocks anyone who even remotely disagrees with him. If he was hosting their discussion, the equivalent would be to mute everyone's microphones or kick them from the call, but since he's a guest and not a host, I wonder if he'll just rage quit.
@@Raptorclawzwould love to see a source on this "claim" lmao. you guys come up with the most insane things to shoehorn your dumb culture war bullshit into.
I agree. And I know a few diehard Sony fans who have the same sentiment. Uninteresting or straight-up annoying characters, with Alloy being the worst example. She's very unconvincing as a protag, and she self-sabotages and whines all the time like a depressed teenager. She's not just a bore to play as, but I'd go so far to say she's a chore.
It's unfortunate that the old cast are no longer a part of the group. It's just hanging on by a thread now. With the personalities that are left there's no point watching anymore
@Jack_Ss once they are on shelves, Sony already made their money so that doesn't even make sense. Shelf price is for the local business to make money. Not sony
@@Jack_Ss it really doesn't. Sony sells to businesses and makes their mo ey right there. The businesses then sell at full price or discount or whatever.
Did Ryan really say “horizon makes money”..do we have a source for that or he talking out of his ass?? Like I liked horizon 1 but fell off quick on 2. It’s known horizon is the series Sony has been pushing but does it really make money or as popular as they make it seem?
The problem with Hulst is that Guerilla was never a good studio. Kojima may have endorsed their engine, but they have never produced a good game. Killzone and Horizon are B-tier at best. I do not believe he knows what a good game is. Have you actually played Horizon? It sucks. Hand Killzone to Bungie, have Guerilla do the donkey work for a more competent studio. Have Blue Point and Housemarque collaborate on Demon's Souls 2, a Bloodborne remake and a Bloodborne sequel. Sony own those IPs, not Fromsoft.
Another franchise like Nexomon has the same exact catching mechanics as pokemon and i dont see them getting sued.. they are even worse wiith the battle mechanics and turn based crap too. lol Nintendo are just a bunch of corporate greedy assh*les.🙄

I believe Concord had that sort of budget mainly because of 3 reasons:
- They commissioned an entire episode of an Amazon series dedicated to it.
- They avoided delaying the game at all, even though the initial reaction was straight up bad/extremely underwhelming.
- Sony had already canned 6-7 GaaS games, inclunding TLoU Online after years of promising their shareholders GaaS was going to be a massive pillar for their business in the future. With all the money they wasted on this GaaS push something HAD to come out of it.
Besides, it's not like they were investing in something dumb, at least in their eyes.
If those goofs actually thought Concord had Star Wars like potential, they were banking on it being, not only a successful live service game (those alone print money), but also having enormous trans media potential, merchandise sales, spin-off's and possibly (down the line), a single player, standalone franchise, PS quality, 70$ game(s) set in that universe.
I've been wondering how much the Amazon deal cost them the whole time.
@@Fidelis1776 depends on the length of the episode, but it has "Blizzard level" quality to it, judging from the one shot they showed during the announcement, even the cgi cutscenes used in the game are pretty well made and not cheap at all.
I don't think the 400$M is the total amount of money invested just to release the game, that's probably around 100-150$M, the 400$M is what Sony's entire budget for it was, with post-launch support and post-launch marketing.
They were going to have WEEKLY cinematics added to the game and those had to be done months ahead of time, if they already had enough for the 2 seasons already planned and announced for Concord + the Amazon show, anyone can clearly see the budget rising up exponentially.
Why would they pay Amazon? Wouldn’t it be the other way. Amazon would pay to use the license. You know shows take time to make. Amazon could’ve thought it might a big hit if playstation was doing that.
@@LaztstaNd Agree to most.The Amazon deal sticks with me because we all know it was in the double digits. Even if we start at 10, that's a decent sized slice of the pie. Yeah, the $400 million is counting everything down to the hourly janitor that cleaned up after a meeting that mentioned the game so it technically counts. As mentioned, we know there was content ready to go that we never even saw because of how fast they shut it down. I honestly would not be surprised if there's at least $50 million worth of content (cut scenes, levels, modes, characters, guest characters, etc) we'll never know about unless someone steals it and dumps it online.
@@joegardner851 I think you only pay for the rights to do something with an IP, if you want to do something with an IP.
Take the Zelda movie being made by Sony Pictures.
Sony didn't buy the rights from Nintendo to do a movie about Zelda, Nintendo entered into a partnership with Sony to do a Zelda movie, they are paying Sony Pictures to do something, that's out of Nintendo's wheelhouse.
That's Zelda of course, so it's a win-win situation for everyone involved and I'm assuming Sony Pictures was more than happy to lower their fees, for one of the most popular gaming IP's of all time.
I highly doubt Amazon were the one's pushing for Sony to let them make something with a new IP.
Is Franspi handing out Argentinian memberships like what happened to DSP or is it just me lmao
hopefully handheld is 900p+ not 720p.
Nope
@@michaelmyersplays4992 my laptop is 900p and it's fine, but 720p is just too low, especially for detailed games like Warframe etc.
So, nothing about the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 preview event at the Grand Canyon?
They don't care about these games and then say, "what has Xbox released" or Xbox have no games.
Just because a company has more niche category games despite the large amount of people playing it, they don't care.
There needs to be a documentary about the development, launch, and failure of Concord
People don’t show up because they don’t get paid for their time. It’s kind of crazy to show up every week for a show when you have your own audience that puts money in your pocket. Newer TH-camrs like Josie - who needs to go away because she doesn’t take this seriously - should come on for exposure and then when they outgrow what the SpawnCast can give them, you get new people. Jon has to dump people who don’t offer value or show up regularly. This is a business at the end of the day.
Agreed on all points
@@cam86191 Appreciate that. I hope Jon changes things around.
I think it's just a fun time. No need to go strict like it's a corporate or something. People take things too seriously nowadays.
It might name nintendo "click"
Switch 2 OLED on release or shit lcd?? Please don't make me wait for the OLED Nintendo!!!
Unfortunately, it's likely we will have to wait. I know, it upsets me quite a bit as well. I just hope I'm wrong. And if I'm right, I hope they use a higher quality LCD with much smaller diodes than the godawful, 2000s era LCD used in the Switch launch model.
I personally don't care if they sue Palworld. Even though it seems like they couldn't get them on the designs, it's obvious they copied or were very inspired by the designs. That's my opinion. If the issue is about how Pals are caught, that's too specific and could effect other Pokemon inspired games I feel. It seems like this is more about sending a message because the game got so big.
You are spot on. As a recent law graduate, this is where people speak without knowing anything regarding the facts of the case. There is a difference between copyright, patent and trademark infringement.
Copyright is exclusive rights to original work or ideas, such as a book. Patent is ownership of an invention, such as pharmaceutical drugs, and trademark is ownership of a specific and unique design of a product line and usually has “TM” or “R” following it like you can see on many brand names.
Nintendo is going after alleged patent infringements, hence why the large aspect of their case surrounds this. To what extent and for what, only time will tell.
Yeah. It's very obvious Palworld put Pokémon in an AI image generator to get their designs, but it's nearly impossible prove that legally. The moment I saw what patent TCPi used to sue Palworld, I immediately had the same worry you do. Of course, TCPi wants to send a message since they also know Palword used Pokémon filtered through an AI image generator, but that's not a legally sound case so they had to go on something else. I never cared for Palworld, but I hope Palworld, while extremely unlikely, wins this case because that patent is restrictive and a win for TCPi puts other monster catching games at risk.
Exactly. To go a bit deeper, a Trademark has an "R" if it has been approved. Trademarks are almost always approved, so a "TM", meaning it's been submitted for approval, is enough to discourage other brands from filing for the same design.
As for copyright, the moment you create a work, it is legally yours and is copyrighted. For corporations-especially western corporations-copyrights from creations made by employees are typically owned by their employee unless there are other contracts in place. As a copyright owner, you can allow other entities access to your work free or for a license with restrictions of your choice, e.g., payment, attribution, where and how it can be used, etc.).
Switch 2 will be ARM based so its irrelevant if it's more powerful than the X86 based Steam Deck. To put things in perspective, Switch 2 won't be as powerful as the latest iPhone or Samsung Galaxy phone. S
I know Evan is pretty quiet but it’s hard to explain how important he is for the cast.
He produces and edits all of John’s productions
I’m gonna assume that the Amazon episode cost a cool fortune and Sony couldn’t get it out of the rotation without paying more money to Amazon to make up for it.
Why they didn’t write it off like HBO did with Coyote and Bat Girl, I guess since the aforementioned Amazon payout.
But I’m only a tomato, what would I know, but Sony got humbled hard by this.
I’m really confuse by that. Amazon would pay to use the licenses, not the other way around. Shows get made awhile before they are aired.
Lets not assume anything because you don’t have evidence to support it
Switch Advance™️
Concord would be big 8 years ago but they delayed it.
Netflix anime are cool to me. I don't intend on ever playing some of these series but I will watch a show on them. Edgerunners is probably more popular than the video game. I'll watch the Devil May Cry show but I'll never play the games. Castlevania was too inappropriate for me to get into.
I don’t why yall getting so bent out of shape, we Know GOT2 , Death Stranding 2 and Wolverine is coming at the least. But expecting to see at least 1st party game is asking for too much.
Gotta recoup that Concord 🍇 money with horizon and days gone…
My only theory for the Concord budget is the seed funding, Probablymonsters set records for biggest seed funding in video games. Did Sony pick up the loans from Probalymonsters with the studio?

@@RebelHeart619 lmao
Totally missing the point of Sony not releasing anything on their platform except remakes of 5 y/o games or cross gen games. Keep playing dumb and coping
Ignores the mere fact that Nintendo had new releases which "you guys" didn't bother to play because your too busy complaining such as Astral Chain, Daemon x Machina, or Xenoblade Chronicles 2/3. Stop this foolishness and let Herman Hulst have it when it.comes to the current direction of Playstation isn't good. No Bloodbourne but let's green light Horizon Zero Dawn again ....
herman hulst should lose his job with playstation

theyre right about Plucky Squire being extremely hand-holdy. Its constantly interrupting you to make sure you know exactly what to do at all times
Next episode should be hilarious. I can’t even fathom what the dynamic will be like between Shawn and Jason 😂 Can’t wait.
Shawn's personality is "be an aashole"
My Moms an accountant and according to U.S. tax law Sony can, with Concord, write the loss off with there profits and show less of a gain for the year, they can still use the assets, but lost a lot of money, even when they refund people they can still write it off against there profit
You’re telling me you can’t get 2-3 more people with all your clout and connections? If your heart isn’t in it Jon just stop. Otherwise try and get weekly guests.
He's going to do prerecorded episodes because it's hard to get people to show up on a Sat night.
Watch live and read the chat during a hot topic. Not everyone is built to handle that. OJ is going to mess around and actually show up to one of these conventions and see a line of people with 2K cash ready to go!
@@Fidelis1776 They read chat? I didn't know they do that
On a side note, I would take anything that Colin Moriarty says with a grain of salt. Guy got fired from kindafunny for a reason. He’s a hack.
Schrier? I'll skip next week.
Schrier is one of the reasons for DEI in gaming companies, imo. Activist-journalists like him will basically blackmail studios to force their views in games so they don't get bad news or get investigated by the so-called gaming journalists...
He blocks anyone who even remotely disagrees with him. If he was hosting their discussion, the equivalent would be to mute everyone's microphones or kick them from the call, but since he's a guest and not a host, I wonder if he'll just rage quit.
i doubt it. This podcast is as safe as can be. They're terrified to even mention most controversial things.
@@Raptorclawzwould love to see a source on this "claim" lmao. you guys come up with the most insane things to shoehorn your dumb culture war bullshit into.
@@charlenemaximumThese journalists create the culture war to begin with. At least fueled it.
Horizon series games are mediocre at best. Same old tired Ubisoft formula with uninteresting characters. And this is from a PS owner.
I agree. And I know a few diehard Sony fans who have the same sentiment. Uninteresting or straight-up annoying characters, with Alloy being the worst example. She's very unconvincing as a protag, and she self-sabotages and whines all the time like a depressed teenager. She's not just a bore to play as, but I'd go so far to say she's a chore.
Where's OJ?
Mentioned on his stream beforehand having prior engagement that occupied the time slot.
Getting hair plugs to fix his hairline
It's unfortunate that the old cast are no longer a part of the group. It's just hanging on by a thread now. With the personalities that are left there's no point watching anymore
"Switch Advanced" is a much better name than Switch 2
We're all going to be clamoring for RGT collectibles 20 years from now
Where’s Josie?
Hopefully gone forever
She was pointless
@@stevesteve0521JC this chats takes are hot and awful y’all need to gtfu
She used to be lit
@@BuckyH04 wtf
Disappointed you guys failed to mention the awful Concord character designs and the games clear progressive approach.
Horizon sucks as a franchise. The first one only sold well because it was 5 bucks all the time
That's not true
The first one sold cuz there was genuine hype behind it
@pogoacct8611 the first few million sure. But then it spend literal years on best buy shelves for 5 to 20 bucks
@Jack_Ss once they are on shelves, Sony already made their money so that doesn't even make sense.
Shelf price is for the local business to make money.
Not sony
@pogoacct8611 when its their discount line it does. Its cut on their end first
@@Jack_Ss it really doesn't. Sony sells to businesses and makes their mo ey right there.
The businesses then sell at full price or discount or whatever.
days gone needs to be remastered
Switch 2 at anything higher than $350 DOA to me. I wouldn’t even pay $300 for a Switch now. I think $250 is just right.
Where's all the members? This is dead.
Did Ryan really say “horizon makes money”..do we have a source for that or he talking out of his ass?? Like I liked horizon 1 but fell off quick on 2. It’s known horizon is the series Sony has been pushing but does it really make money or as popular as they make it seem?
Yes horizon makes money
NO OJ HELL YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The problem with Hulst is that Guerilla was never a good studio. Kojima may have endorsed their engine, but they have never produced a good game. Killzone and Horizon are B-tier at best. I do not believe he knows what a good game is. Have you actually played Horizon? It sucks. Hand Killzone to Bungie, have Guerilla do the donkey work for a more competent studio. Have Blue Point and Housemarque collaborate on Demon's Souls 2, a Bloodborne remake and a Bloodborne sequel. Sony own those IPs, not Fromsoft.
I hope Nintendo loses.
Another franchise like Nexomon has the same exact catching mechanics as pokemon and i dont see them getting sued.. they are even worse wiith the battle mechanics and turn based crap too. lol Nintendo are just a bunch of corporate greedy assh*les.🙄
