Foamstars being a 4v4 online multi-player game and thus needing PlayStation Plus to play it, going on the service day one is a great move by Square Enix. Having over 40m PlayStation Plus subscribers already there that could access your game is a far better decision than hoping people spend money to buy the game. Very surprised that it launches in three weeks though. I wonder if Sony delays Helldivers 2 because asking for $40 and PlayStation Plus subscription is asking a lot when you have all these dominant free to play games on your platform and now Foamstars which is basically āfree to playā with your subscription which would be required anyway. I think Foamstars is going to surprise a lot of people and do some pretty good numbers. Will come down to how well Square Enix supports the game post launch.
Iām 50/50 since Squareās track record on live service has been pretty rough as of late. Maybe this will be the hit they have been hoping for or maybe it will fumble. Time will tell and it wonāt be too long at that.
That week will be live service week. I donāt know if Suicide Squad is all that hype for general audience, so I donāt know that game will hurt Foamstars and Helldivers 2. Persona 3 Remake is coming first and lately, itās getting out of niche only market, so who knows if that will harm them in the process. Fortunately, FF7R2 is late February, so they have a shot.
Does anyone have any opinions on Riverbond? Just wondering if I should pick it up while itās on sale.
Words out there that Palworld is actually quite fun. Not going to lie, I too am curious to try it out.
September 5th for Stalker 2
Iāll be waiting and ready.
coming to consoles after a year and a half. reviewed well on pc
Absolutely fine with me. If they need the time to make the game they want, they can take all the time they need. Visuals look great in that trailer, should look great on Xbox too.
Interesting that SquareEnix and Sony are willing to take a bath on Foamstars and putting that into the sub, but the similarly online Helldivers 2 second-party release isnātā¦
A few days before Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 for me. Better than the first three months of 2024 though for me so im happy. Canāt wait to see what else gets dated for September.
Going to premier this at Noon EST, so roughly 30 minutes. Iāll be hanging out in chat if anyone is around
Hilarious that I saw this:

Thereās a meme that connects to everyoneās reaction.
Short and kinda boring. But if you looking for a short one and done game with easy achievement then go for it.

I know over X they treated this notion as a great sin. Whatās your take on it?
I donāt care at all tbh
I feel itās just corporations taking shortcuts in not paying actual people to do artwork. However, I am not totally against AI and I think it can do a lot to speed up development

What a drop! Itās basically free trial alas full game with first two expansions.
Lets go, hyped for this
