The head of Gameindustry.biz calling it a remaster.

 

[Flutta]

Yikes

 

[Majormaxxx]

Not for that price bro.

Should have been 69.69 if you know what I mean

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Saints Row > PS4, PS5, XBSS, XBSX, XB1, PC

TLOU Remake > PS5

Also 4 days retail tracking VS 1

But don't let me interrupt the narrative you're working with...

70$ vs 60$ too.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Saints Row is available on 5 systems or more??
What a stupid comparison.

Saints row is a buggy mess and ripped apart in reviews...you think it sold well?

This is a complete bomba for Sony and naughty dog.

 

[Markio128]

How many sales did this year’s biggest MS exclusive make this year?

 

[Halo2redvsblue]

Confirmed this will be the next box in game bundle with the PlayStation 5 replacing forbidden West.

It will probably be both this and horizon or a triple pack with gran turismo for xmas

 

[Majormaxxx]

It seems the price gamble paid off for them.

It's good for the morale of the team that worked on it. So if you guys are reading - congrats on the solid work with the project.

As for ND management or whoever mandated it this way - yes market wise it was a good call, but a cash grab and an FU to loyal customers.

That would be a an awesome bundle.

 

[//DEVIL//]

From a big dev like naughty dog and greedy bitch ass Sony, I am glad it didn't sell well. It must be shameful for a big name title not to sell much. Maybe this will teach the shitty ass management how to treat their fans properly.

Hope the stocks goes down too.

The people who bought this game most likely are Gen Z who havent played the original game

Most of us older gamer who already play this game on ps3/ps4 skiped and rather wait for gow ragnarok

Half as many as Saints Row? That's... not good.

Sure, we don't know the digital split and all, but selling HALF of a horribly reviewed game, and a franchise with 5% of the prestige that TLOU should have is just horrible.

As I have been saying, not only this remake seemed utterly unecessary, but also the damage that TLOU 2 did on the franchise was gigantic, and its already starting to reflect on the sales of this remake.

I'm actually happy to see Sony getting the backlash it deserves by having butchered this franchise, even if this will sell much more than it should have. Now we wait a few weeks/months to see the extent of the damage that was done to the franchise because of the second entry.

 

[Gudji]

 

[Airbus Jr]

half as many as Saints Row is still about 75% too many

Hey man im not really into this remake either but why so bitter dude?

Seriously some fcked up people around here for some weird reason seems pissed with this news. Go find yourself a new hobby.

Cause a third remake in 10 years at an ever increasing price tag is total loser shit by Sony. It's cynical as fuck, and just complete creative bankruptcy.

They should fail, and badly.

 

[AmuroChan]

Good to see the consumers speaking with their wallets. Unless a remake was literally done from the ground up, charging full price is ridiculous. Sony could've avoided all this bad press had they just made the game $49.99.

You know kids..teenagers...they are born everyday...cant really blame them for this..

 

[Loxus]

How many copies did Saints Row sell?
Can't find it.

If Saints Row sold 2mil in 4 days for example.
1mil in one day isn't exactly a fail.

 

[64bitmodels]

TLOU came out 9 years ago and was remastered for the PS4 not too long later and yall expect an unnecessary 70 dollar remake of it to immediately sell gangbusters as opposed to the completely new (even if shitty), multiplatform, 60 dollar game that came out a couple of days ago.

 

[anthony2690]

£80 first party?

£70 multiplatform titles? Where are these people getting their prices.

That being said, I don't think there was much excitement or demand for a 2nd remaster of a very popular and well loved game that I imagine most people with a playstation have already played before once or twice (depending if they double dipped prior)

 

[DenchDeckard]

That would be a an awesome bundle.

It would be pretty awesome!

 

[Sleepwalker]

Yeah, nobody really cared about what they did with the legacy of thieves collection. 49.99 and a $10 upgrade path if you previously owned the game.

Wouldve been perfect here too, maybe make the upgrade $19.99 and only for those who purchased the remaster (not got it for free).

25k tops

Are you serious? They won't play a 4 year old remaster? Get outta here with that weird generation narrative - it's straight up cynical bullshit from Sony.

A source would be nice.

 

[Sleepwalker]

The remaster is not 4 years old, it came out in 2014, so double that.

 

[akimbo009]

So unplayable..... Even after the Pro updates..

 

[Markio128]

I wouldn’t mind, but Skyrim has more versions than TLOU if you include VR

 

[HiFiVideogameMusic]

Last of us was always the most overrated game ever made tbh

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

You were always the first one to post threads titled "80% of all copies sold on PS" or whatever whenever you posted a UK boxed charts thread but now suddenly Saint's Row sold double because it was available on Xbox??? Come on man

Your post would make more sense if this release wasn't PlayStation 5 only. Saints Row was also released on PS4 and again it had more sales days.

This is the first PS5 only release since ratchet and clank.

The head of Gameindustry.biz calling it a remaster.

People need to learn the difference

 

[Sleepwalker]

I wouldn't know. Last time I played this game was on my old PS3 in 2013. I'm also not buying this but no need to lie about stuff that's easy to verify.

 

[Skifi28]

People always go on about overrated this and underrated that, but I don't get it. Who decides if something was rated more or less than it should have been and how do we know what its actual rating should be? Who decides? The people that liked it too much? They people that hated it? What's the objective measure to see the rating a game should have?

Christopher Drrring: It's number one narrowly

 

[Chiggs]

Glad to see it charting as number 1, especially with its limited time in release.

It will have legs. And it's not like the UK can even compare to the might and majesty of the US market.

 

[akimbo009]

Lie. Comon. The point stands - Sony wasn't forced to release this because "won't you think about the kids" or some weird other point.

 

[Luipadre]

its all about digital sales nowadays but i will be happy if this sells poorly. Fuck that pricetag on this game. Greedy ass sony

 

[Rac3r]

I wonder if Factions will cost £69.99 at launch? I’m hyped for it but I have a feeling it will flop massively if they price it like that.

I think it will be a F2P game on PS and PC. At the very least, it should be free with PS Plus.

Based on the development time, it seems like Sony wants this to be on the level of Apex, Fortnite, Warzone, etc. They'll never get there with a high price barrier.

It's still the best selling game for the week after a single day of sales being counted and only being on one platform.

But somehow this is being spun as a bad thing? People wanted this to fail so badly that they are inventing failure.

Nah, it's failed. It was always going to be number 1. There isn't another single release to compete with but it barely sold more than half of a critical failure that's buggy as shit and been getting panned online.

It's embarrassing for Sony and naughty dog but exactly what it deserved at 70 pounds. Let us have our win

Not only that, why would anyone want a game to fail? Especially one that look this good and bugs free.

Regardless of price, this game is meant for those who want the best graphics or never played it before. No reason to keep saying you played the remaster, you don't need this.

I can't remember Demon's Souls Remake getting this amount of hate and it costed the same.

I expected it to be in the top 10 but not no. 1.

Ok, ignore the fact that saints row was a multiplatform game and charted for 3 more days.

But you can have your win if you need it.

This ain't chief.

Sorry, I forgot, we need to be outraged when a well put together $70 release tops the charts.

Fucking Jim Ryan.
