Thoughts the stepI was shocked to learn that Closing Fantasy 7 Rebirth noticed a 91% drop in its second week gross sales and that it had the worst first week of any latest recreation within the collection, together with the Western type Closing Fantasy 16.
I discover this very upsetting as, like seemingly everybody else that has written in about it to the Inbox, it’s a improbable recreation and doubtless my favorite because the SNES period. It truly is that good, with an ideal stability of humour, drama, and actually good gameplay.
Apparently, UK gross sales had been 34% down on Remake within the UK, so it’s not simply Japan, though it’s solely in Japan that we get precise numbers, so we will see precisely how issues went. I can not consider that Closing Fantasy 7 Remake offered 702,853 in its first week and Rebirth was solely 262,656, that’s such a large drop.
So does that imply Rebirth has been a flop? I actually hope not, and I particularly hope it doesn’t put them off their method to the third and last recreation.Rodan
GC: There’re sufficient problems within the figures for it to be unclear precisely how nicely it’s performed. For a begin the numbers are bodily solely however, importantly, Closing Fantasy 7 Remake got here out in the course of pandemic, so its success was tremendously boosted by that. Additionally, all fashionable Closing Fantasy video games, going again to Closing Fantasy 13, have had second week drops of 87% or extra. Rebirth’s numbers clearly aren’t nice, however they’re not radically out of line in comparison with earlier video games.
Unicorn overloadJust wish to say how a lot I’ve been having fun with Unicorn Overlord. I don’t suppose it’s the kind of recreation that’s more likely to do nicely within the UK however as somebody that went to the difficulty of shopping for Ogre Battle on import, and actually likes Vanillaware’s video games, this has been improbable, even higher than 13 Sentinels.
Even in comparison with Ogre Battle it’s a really distinctive method to a tactical role-player and if solely the story had been a bit higher, I feel it might’ve been close to excellent for what it was attempting to do.
It appears to have been an unexpectedly large hit too, with the bodily version and collector’s editions promoting out around the globe. I think about they in all probability didn’t make that many, so I don’t how large a deal that basically is, but it surely undoubtedly appears to have performed higher than anticipated. Extremely suggest by me.Bort
Final minute preparationsAnyone else hyped for Dragon’s Dogma 2? I’ve been ready for this sequel for therefore lengthy I genuinely by no means thought it might occur however now we’re only a week away and I’m tremendous pumped.I’ve made all my characters already, within the creator they launched and I’ve been enjoying the unique a bit simply to remind myself of the fundamentals and get into the temper.
I do know I’m in all probability setting myself up for a fall, however I’m principally going to lock myself into my home subsequent weekend and play nothing however. Right here’s hoping I don’t find yourself wanting like a idiot two weeks for now.Gunnny

Proper particular person for the jobIt’s good to know {that a} bunch of builders have escaped the clutches of Embracer, however I nonetheless don’t perceive how Saber goes to make a Star Wars: Knights Of The Previous Republic remake. The unique is likely one of the greatest role-playing video games of all time, in my view, and wanted BioWare on the prime of their recreation to make.
The concept they gave it to Aspyr, who solely do low cost ports and remasters, was at all times ridiculous, however I don’t see how the people who find themselves most well-known for World Battle Z is way of an improve. What do they find out about role-playing video games?
Until it’s going to be a 1:1 remake, the place they don’t change something however the graphics, I don’t see that they’ve the expertise or the expertise to do it correctly. That’s not an insult, I wouldn’t belief BioWare to make a multiplayer zombie shooter both, totally different folks have totally different specialities.
I used to be upset when EA canned their Respawn Star Wars shooter however I wouldn’t care in any respect if the Knights Of The Previous Republic remake was canned, I simply don’t see it ever figuring out.Pr0metheus
A fast buckNot certain what Ratcatcher needs performed to counter the potential success of GTA 6.
Rockstar have made persistently high-end merchandise for over 20 years and have continued to assist and replace them.
If something, different builders and publishers ought to take be aware and attempt to do the identical.
Additionally, high quality impartial films nonetheless reach a world of huge franchises. What doesn’t succeed, nonetheless, is brief time period profiteering.James
GC: If solely that had been true.
65 million 12 months waitI see they’re speaking about doing new Jurassic Park movies once more, with a brand new set of characters, so, contemplating the final trilogy made a bazillion {dollars} can I simply ask video games corporations upfront to please make extra dinosaur video games.
I do know it is a working joke on these pages however why are dinosaur video games so uncommon? They will’t be engaged on the logic that dinosaur video games by no means promote as a result of they by no means make any to know!
Capcom are the one ones that made an effort with Exoprimal however that’s a multiplayer solely recreation and whereas it’s okay I’d desperately love for them to remake Dino Disaster or make a brand new sequel.
I don’t count on it, however I actually don’t see how one thing as bizarre as Kunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess (which, don’t get me mistaken, seems to be good) will get made however a recreation impressed by one of many best-selling movie franchises of all time doesn’t get a glance in.
I wish to experience dinosaurs, I wish to shoot dinosaurs, and I wish to run in worry from dinosaurs. Am I actually asking an excessive amount of?Karl
More and more outnumberedNothing in regards to the Silent Hill revival is sensible to me, beginning with why it’s taking precedence forward of Castlevania. However I suppose they thought Silent Hill could be cheaper to make? That may be true however a) Konami is definitely fairly a wealthy firm and b) nobody has ever cared about Silent Hill outdoors of a small cult following.
I’m a part of that cult, so in idea I’m favour of this anyway, besides I’m probably not as a result of all that is doing is tarnishing the identify of the collection and making it so there’s even much less good video games in comparison with unhealthy ones. Abruptly I perceive how Star Wars followers really feel.Crispo

There are good theories for Metroid Prime 4, a brand new Tremendous Mario, a brand new Donkey Kong, and a brand new Mario Kart, however you may in all probability say the identical for many of their different franchises as nicely. They’ll wish to get numerous large identify video games out within the first 12 months, as a result of that labored actually with the Swap, however clearly not all 4 of these, not whenever you’ve additionally acquired issues like Animal Crossing and Splatoon which might be additionally going to be excessive up the listing.
