SAY WHAT CHAOS AGAIN
 
What does "recoupable advance" mean?

Money someone pays you in advance to do something, like make a game.
They give you cash for something you will do in the future and then when you sell the thing they take the money they advanced you first and then whatever the contract says applies to the rest of it.

How does that relate to CP2077 on EGS?
 
Oh wow, the Capcom stream was fucking awful. Even worse than Square-Enix. They literally had nothing new. Updates to a bunch of stuff and ended on Street Fighter esports lmao.
 
Fair enough but none of this justified hosting their own show. This is all info they could've delivered through the usual channels lol.

Well, it's pretty evident now what E3 has turned into for most corpos. Updates on existing games and soon to be released content, TV shows & movies.

I figured with Capcom level setting ahead of time, I went in with low expectations, but I still had a tiny bit of hope for something. I suppose the RE8 dlc was still a nice tiny surprise, it is just too far out to be excited.

Yeah, tbh I didn't really have any specific expectations. I was just hoping for something. A new game announcement, a new trailer for that weird sci-fi game they announced last year, a confirmation for Monster Hunter Rise's PC port. Literally any one of these things wouldn't been enough for me not to feel like I wasted my time lol.

I expected very little, like some minor remaster announcement or some shit, not literally "set up a stream to show you trailers you've already seen"
More importantly.


I really hope Zero isn't a permanent exclusive
 
MY WORD HAS BECOME TRUTH
PREACH FOR I AM THE PREACHER !!!

SGF HAS BECOME BETTER THAN E3 !!! NOW MARK MY WORDS, THE WORDS OF GOD ALMIGHTY THE FATHER SON AND HOLY SPIRIT, CREATOR MESSIAH AND SPIRIT

ON THE 6TH OF DECEMBER, 2021, THERE WILL BE A MONDAY

Zero may be an exclusive but I think that's because of the engineering behind it. Or something like that.


So they got half a million and EGS basically got nothing out of it? Wow.....

Everytime the mental gymnastics before a Nintendo Direct always crack me up:

"I am pessimistic now so the direct will be good"
"Hmm, the doom and gloom is good, because you will be happy with what they will show"
"No one leaks anything yet because either Nintendo lock down everything or the direct is so bad no one wants to leak it"
"It will be 30 mins of Mario Golf. Book it"

:ROFLMAO:
 
Amazon sure is something else. They charged me a $55 restock fee for the Biomutant CE (that's half of the price of the item) they did waive the fee though. I also ordered two other items except that these two looked like they had previously been open before and I was able to get a replacement.

Amazon sure is evil but... They do get stuff done and make you want to keep using them (it's quite scary actually).

You say that like it was a bad thing? Konami E3 2010 is one of the most legendary conferences ever!
No no no, not at all! 😀
I meant I'd rather watch the extremely entertaining train wreck than this year's E3 streams that everyone says are boring.

E3 2010 Konami was extremely fascinating, weird and fun. It. Just. Kept. Going. With the wackiness! 😀

What he was talking about was he didn't care if it was physical or digital for switch he would get either one.

DIGITAL GAMES MARKET BOOMING: KALYPSO LOWERS PRICES AND PASSES SAVING TO FANS
New policy in effect with pre-order for upcoming fantasy title Disciples: Liberation


The Kalypso Media Group has today announced a new price reduction policy for all of its titles moving forward. The policy arrives as a result of constant shifts in the video games marketplace, a further move toward digital sales, and the noticeable and ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Kalypso has confirmed that its sales are doing well and that, moving forward, the resulting profit margins will be passed directly back to the players in the form of a lower baseline price for all titles.

We have been able to increase our digital sales and, above all, margins in recent months, while physical sales in traditional retail have slumped due to the COVID-19 situation. Currently, we do not expect this trend to reverse even after the pandemic. Most of our fans buy or stream games, primarily, digitally, so it is very likely that sales of physical products will continue to decline, saving us costs in manufacturing, logistics and distribution,” said Simon Hellwig, CEO of Kalypso.

In the past, new release games from the publisher have launched with a recommended retail price of €49.99/$49.99/£44.99 for PC and €59.99/$59.99/£54.99 for consoles.

We would like to reward the loyalty of the community by partially passing on the higher margins as part of permanent price reductions,” said Dr. Anika Thun, Global Marketing Director at Kalypso, adding that “the entry price of a full-price product in the standard edition will be no higher than €39.99/$39.99/£34.99 for PC and €49.99/$49.99/£44.99 for consoles on launch day. In due course, we will also be reducing the prices of current top sellers such as Tropico 6, Port Royale 4 and Spacebase Startopia.

Included in the reductions is the publisher’s upcoming dark fantasy strategy title Disciples: Liberation which, alongside the most recent iteration of the company’s flagship franchise Tropico 6, stands as the largest Kalypso production to date. PC pre-orders for the game are now live at the Kalypso Store for 15% off, as well as Steam and the Epic Games Store at 10% off. The ‘Standard Edition’ of Disciples: Liberation set to release in Q4 of 2021 for €39.99/$39.99/£34.99 on PC and €49.99/$49.99/£44.99 on consoles.

Customers will also be able to purchase the ‘Deluxe Edition’ of the game for €49.99/$49.99/£44.99 (PC) or €59.99/$59.99/£54.99 (console) with additional bonus content.

Disciples: Liberation is an expansive and content-packed title which would justify a much higher retail price. However, we believe that despite high production values, we are right with our pricing policy and can continue to inspire our community for Kalypso products,” adds Hellwig.

Kalypso has implemented the price reductions from 1 June, 2021 and will continue to roll out the policy as more products are launched.
 
It was a laughable presentation, and oh so memeable... but you know what?

FF Origin looks... potentially really good?
With combat by Team Ninja, characters that can have two different jobs at a time with entirely different skills and weapons, and fully visible armor pieces? This is a really cool combo. I just hope they embrace the cheese.
Plus they intend to follow the Nioh model of real demos to get feedback.

... plus every time we get the visions of Square Enix's execs, it's awful, so, may as well try other people.

Also, Shantae, the first one, is getting a release on PS4/PS5 but not PC. :(
