I'll get it when it's £10

They are a legit 4 - 6 man team....all brothers.

They probably spent all their budget on voice acting and buying assets.

Very small team indeed, even better with Epic's help.

They'll recoup their investment and then some but even if their games are not that great they should release them in other platforms.

 

[GHound]

Sony when asked what they think about the game in question like they had some involvement in it other than an intern clicking the accept button on its submission.

 

[Mownoc]

Really. We're making articles about random shovelware now? Lol.

There's probably already been shovelware crap launched exclusively on Switch this year too. The digital stores are full of garbage.

Quantum Error also got a MegaGrant from Epic so this game likely only needed to sell a few thousand copies to clear its budget....I imagine if they even got to like 10,000 copies they would be considered pretty damn profitable and would still be under the Unreal Engine threshold so would even have to pay Epic.

For an indie game made by just a handful of people I thought what I've seen from Code Violet (walkthrough video) looks reasonably competently made. The real issue is not the quality of the game but the price: $49.99 on the PS store. A low budget indie game like this should have a budget price.

Silksong is $20. If they would put this at $20-30 numbers would be better and complaints lower. Quantum error was a $60 game as an example.

Anyone else notice the increase in desperation for views and clicks since the end of the console war? These sites are having a tough time.

 

[Truthtellers]

PS Exclusive? Sold.

My man Lecture needs to get his clicks from any sort of controversy related to gaming, no matter how small.

 

[Disciple of MSSP]

This shit is a PlayStation exclusive?? Lmao I thought it was made from like a single developer horny kid when I first saw it

 

[SJRB]

Dev: "Hey we're gonna release our game on your platform only because we don't want people on pc modding our game"
Sony: "Sure, cool, whatever"
TheGamer: "pLaYsTaTiOn ExClUsIvE HUGE FLOP"

 

[DR3AM]

Make that 2 in a row. Marathon is up next

 

[lughnasadh123]

They need to ease up on the gameplay. It's not easy making a shooter that works well with playing with one hand.

 

[Unknown?]

My man @mckmas8808 (sorry nial isn't back yet, gotta tag some sony fan, right?)hearing a PlayStation Exclusive flops:

Then realizes it's just some random woke magrag

Ftfy

 

[winjer]

A game no one cares about, and a site no one should open.
Why should all this crap even be worthy of a thread on Gaf.

 

[diffusionx]

I hate these type of clickbait headlines

Nioh 3 at the start of Feb. Pretty much guaranteed to be a total banger, albeit one that will likely will end up in the 80-90 range because the Katana engine isn't the greatest.

Yes its Koei/Tecmo and also out on PC, but its effectively a console exclusive franchise since the start.

 

[Fbh]

So did Sony pay for the console exclusivity or are the devs simply not releasing the game on Xbox and Switch? It's thegaymer so it won't be surprised by the answer.

Sony has no involvement with the game. But the devs have decided to use console/platform war shit to make it stand out from the other shovelware.
So instead of shovelware #5857 it's "Dino Crisis inspired PS5 EXCLUSIVE that's not releasing on PC because the devs don't want vulgar mods of the main character to be made"

And it seems to have worked. There are like 4 threads about this game on Gaf, they are getting reviewed (even if it's poorly) by IGN, etc.
Have you seen anyone talk about A.I.L.A, or The Axis Unseen or Sleep Awake ?

 

[willothedog]

Would have gotten more sales if it was released on PC.

they know it it easy to refund on PC unlike Playstation where if you download a game, tough shit.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Maybe these guys can become good devs one day, if they want to keep trying I won't knock them for that. (I also wont buy their game)
