Might happen since the game will be a year old by the time of the PS+ revamp. It deserves more recognition so that would be great.

Was the game not available at launch on the service ?
Whose doing the console war digs now, come on lol.

Just you. When the game was available on the service is irrelevant. They are not the same services at all.
I'll ask again. Are Game Pass and PS+ comparable now?

I'm not gonna bother indulging your warring digs anymore lol.
My post was a reply to someone who was feigning concern at the supposed bad attach rate and how it should be counted as a failure. I replied with another recent multi-platform developers example who wasn't happy with the attach rate of their game on another service, unlike this developer who seems to be happy enough to specifically shout out.
Make of that what you will and let's stop bringing in irrelevant comparisons here.
Arise will also probably find a lot of new audience on GP, traditionally JRPGs dont tend to sell a lot at retail on Xbox.

4 Million players on PS plus for Oddworld is trash and bad, 1 Million (?maybe?) for Scarlet Nexus is a success. Right.

Depends on the games budget, expectations, the deal to bring it on the service and developer perception. Bandai seems to think so, going by the tweets.

I'm not trying to compare PS Plus to Gamepass. They are different services and platforms. Just trying to make some sense of the narrative that some are bringing here.

Yes, this looks like the first step in what can arguably become a recurring franchise with more refinements.
Tales of Arise is a massive step up in quality but this game has potential to do better too.

I'm not doubting Bandai Namco, I'm doubting the words of the guy that went on an Xbox podcast saying that the PS Plus deal harmed his game. Things don't add up.

Yah definitely that guy must have been paid to say that. We just need to do some digging. Must have been bribed to say that uh

Fun game. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't yet, especially seeing as it's on Game Pass. Could have done without the 2000 year old dragon trope though.

Combat was good but everything else was pretty lackluster. Felt budget as hell.

Yeah, I said that in the other topic, the entirety of the game takes place in 5~ locations. Which is kind of impressive for a JRPG that they managed to cram a 20~30 hour game into such few locations.
Definitely felt like this game was made on a very tight budget.

Yah he shouldn't have taken up the PS+ proposal

Random fact, the guy talking in that gif voiced the character Vamp from Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty, among many other video game characters. He is also a former cast member of MadTV.

Yeah phil Lamar, him and Debra Wilson are big voice actors now, funny enough.

If he had made a better game then you probably wouldn't have had to.

Yes, both console and PC.

You're saying PS+ games are trash? Ok.

Talking about games that go on PS+ day one. Perhaps not "trash" but they certainly were not in line for top sales numbers. This is why games on PS+ at launch are rare.

So, you're saying that if the games gets on a platform, where there's more players and even more having plus then game pass, then it would perform better?
The game would have done better if it was included with games with gold and not game pass.
Gold and plus are comparable, game pass isn't.

Or you just took what I said out of the context of the message I was replying to?
I'm trying to say that, generally, xbox owners may not include the target audience for the type of game Scarlet Nexus is and thus, had it been on PS+ instead it may have had an even higher download/player number.

If you're combining topics, don't forget the Returnal success at 500k and the Cyberpunk flop at 18 million sold and 4 million post launch.
