Are there any notable games even coming out for PS in the coming months? Anything that might at least get it above the Switch 1 for like a week or two.

I don't want to wait for February for a direct please give me an indie direct or a third party one to wait.

The 30/30s could possibly keep rolling for the next few weeks, there are like literally zero PS5 releases until the end of January. Though perhaps not since the next numbers will be a two week combined period on January 7th.

We'll see if word of mouth turns it into Nintendo's Monster Hunter Wilds or not.

It's not gonna be that either way, MP4 even if it performed like shit would not be tarnishing the legacy of one of the most successful franchises in gaming histroy like Wilds did. Metroid has always had middling success for how much people gush about it online.

>I don’t see Code Vein 2 sneaking into the top
I think people are underestimating Code Vein.
The first game wasn't some massive game or success or anything. But it had a strong presentation, and the things that kept it from really making it weren't things that couldn't be easily addressed.
If Code Vein 2 keeps the strong presentation, which it appears to do, and just manages to be a half decent improvement on most things else, then I really think it could do way better than the first game.

>>729388962

>>729392321

Anytime you want to know why a bamco game isn't on Switch or got a late port, its Harada's fault

>>729392014
software has always driven hardware adoption. Nintendo learned this the hard way and now that they can only support 1 system (instead of a handheld and a home console), they aren't as prone to the long droughts that can kill a system. Sony can get away with it in western markets since most casual fans are only playing the next CoD, FIFA, or Madden

>>729392618
Bamco was caught off guard with Switch being a success 6 years ago, and who could have thunk Switch 2 would be a roaring success either?!

>>729392618
Yup, it's not on Switch lmfao. But that's Bamco for ya, they seem allergic to day one releases unless Nintendo is front-loading the costs

>>729388962
It’s not cheaper.

Same, I thought Bananza's main story was better than Odyssey's but the post-game could have been a bit better.

Emerald Rush also has more going on than Balloon World.

With the RAM situation being a complete shitshow I bet the next generation of consoles is getting pushed back much further than anticipated. Gives Nintendo more of an opportunity to establish a foothold for Switch 2 if so.

Well, what is left for SEGA to do is figure out what Sonic actually is. Sonic isn't a kart racing IP, that's for sure. Is Sonic's lane 2D or 3D? What kind of 2D or 3D? Is Sonic meant to be 1st or 2nd to Mario? Those are all things that they need to figure. Without them, Sonic will always underdeliver.

>>729394959

I assume Emerald Rush was created to compensate for the lack of a post game. Then Nintendo saw its potential and made it its own mode with live service elements. Fine by me, it made one of my favorite games this year and a personal top 10 worth checking out every so often.

At least release SA1&2 on Switch, even Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog for the fun. SEGA's support has been subpar but that's not exclusive to the Switch itself, it's more how retarded this company is. For how much western Nintendo fans complain about the lack of Starfox and F-Zero, SEGA is ten times worse by letting rot all their native IPs (not counting Atlus titles)

I'm still baffled Switch still had ports of Valkyria Chronicles 1 and 4, but things like Shenmue 1+2, Skies of Arcadia or even the old Sakura Wars are also absent on the platform despite they could generate some re-interest.
Then again it's fucking SEGA.

>>729395951

>>729397946
Yeah, it's weird but that's SEGA for ya. They also took fucking forever to port Persona 5 to Switch for example. Despite getting port-begged from hell to back since 2017. Shenmue 1+2, I can understand since they held no real stakes in Shenmue 3 but Sakura Wars is a head-scratching decision given that they were attempting to revive the IP in 2019/2020

>>729397926

The tragic part was that one dev who was working on the game did try to get antis to stop referring to Multiversus as the Smash killer and judge it on its own merits. So there was clearly people on the team that did have common sense to know where things would be headed if it got the "Smash killer" label, but the leadership apparently didn't get the memo.
