Did a Potential Overhaul in the Post-Timeskip Cutscenes mess up with 3H's Development? - Development Mystery/Theory

Back in 2021, Nintendo released a video called Fire Emblem : Vol 1 to celebrate the franchise's 30th anniversary. And around 30:35, the video shows the 3H Movie "Rematch", used for Chapter 17 of the Azure Moon and Verdant Wind routes.

With a catch.

It's not the same one that ended up on the final game:

A glimpse into an alternate reality?

People went wild back when they noticed Edelgard and Claude in this version are using the outfits of their Emperor & Barbsrossa classes rather than the Armored Lord and Wyvern Master ones seen in the game we got, leading to much speculation surrounding what this meant for Three Houses. And it goes without saying that, while unseen, fans suspect that Dimitri uses his Great Lord outfit rather than the High Lord's in this version. So... The heck is up with this movie???

Well, as uncovered by VincentASM from sereneforest.net, it's highly likely this take of the movie shown in the promotional Nintendo/FE video is from an early build of the game. A build so early, that Edelgard skin and eyes were more saturated, and characters still didn't use unique palettes when using generic classes (which was incidentally used in February's JP Nintendo Direct of 2019).

Your call as for which version looks better.

It doesn't just end there though; if Three Houses' datamine is anything to go by - namely, the internal order the classes have in the code - we can find evidence that can answer why the endgame lord classes were used in this variation rather than the "middle ones" early on: simply put, Armored Lord, High Lord, and Wyvern Master did not exist during most of 3H' development. In turn, this explains why the Flame Emperor Class - Edelgard's enemy-only class for Part 1 - is internally, a model swap of her Emperor class rather than Armored Lord's: the latter didn't exist during development of Part 1, so Emperor was used as a base instead.

With this evidence uncovered and the answer giving resolution to the promotional footage shown, hopes waned down for the future of 3H, and everyone moved on.

This raises two questions I haven’t seen anyone point out before, though.

How much (if any) did this change mess up the post-timeskip movies? Is it the reason why the Silver Snow Theorem happened?

To explain these inquiries further, I'll go into greater detail about each one:

1. Two Types of Animated Movies.

Corporate needs you to find the differences between these two pictures.

Three Houses uses 2 types of animated movies for important scenes. The first one (see the one on the left), was done in-house by KT through pre-rendering shenanigans with the 3H engine. Meanwhile, the second one (on the right) was outsourced to SANZIGEN.

The distinction between both is relevant because the movie showcased in the FE Castle Conversations video - as well its final version - belong to the former category. Meaning that, should the character designs get tweaked during development, in the best case scenario, as far IS & KT were concerned, swapping models should be enough to keep things up to date, which might as well be what happened with the "Rematch" movie once the House Leader's main post-timeskip designs were swapped.

But what about tweaking the other type of movies, though? The ones commissioned to the animation studio? I can't imagine the whole process being cheap in their case, more so given that 8 out of the 11 movies commissioned to SANZIGEN feature the 3H lords post-timeskip:

What's important here is that ☆ = Doesn't feature any 3H lord in any capacity.

Granted, the smartest course of action in this instance would've been to simply commission the post-timeskip movies near the end of development to avoid consistency/revision issues, for which there is a plausible chance that’s the case. After all, in the E3 2018 trailer for the game - which was the first instance we ever saw footage of it - the only animated movie outsourced seen was the one from the intro.

But... What if that’s not the case?

Call me paranoid if you want, but I raise this worry for a reason-

2. "The Theorem of What?????"

Love this banner so much.

A few months ago I did a breakdown on how 3H distributes it's movies across routes, and if there's anything that stood up a ton besides the predictable stuff, is that the game followed a clear pattern which determined which routes would get the most movies, versus which ones would get screwed instead. In my breakdown, I coined this pattern "The Silver Snow Theorem" which proposes the following:

"The amount of movies and fullscreen CGs present in a route’s main story by Part 2, is directly and inversely proportional respectively, to how much the narrative follows Silver Snow’s story beats."

And as a refresher, Silver Snow matters to the development of Three Houses because: A. That's the first route the developers worked on; and B. was used as the basis for the other 3:

Which route specifically did you create in the beginning to establish the world-building? Kusakihara: It was one of the two paths in the Empire route—the one fans refer to as the “church route”: “Silver Snow” [...] afterwards, we had Koei Tecmo’s scripting team start work on the nitty-gritty of the other house leaders and the story of their respective routes.

While Silver Snow having this much influence over the Part 2 movies is noticeable in hindsight, truth be told, I did initially brush it off as just a side effect of being used as a template for development. Looking back now though, a part of me now wonders if the Part 2 movies were first commissioned once Silver Snow was late into development and AM and VW had been already decided to borrow a ton from the route’s first half. Because if that’s the case, then there might have been cutscenes outsourced to SANZIGEN that did feature Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude with their second post-timeskip lord classes rather than one ones fans are most familiar with.

But then, it was decided during development that the house leaders would rather use different outfits instead. And this might have caused problems with budget since changing those outsourced cutscenes ain’t an easy task compared to the ones KT made in-house.

Like, seriously.

Goes without saying that all this is merely conjecture. But I feel it’s worth making the question because, to reiterate, the Silver Snow Theorem highlights that the more a route follows Silver Snow’s story beats to a tee, the more animated cutscenes (and less CGs) it gets. And given evidence points out the lord’s main post-timeskip classes fans are familiar with were a late addition… I guess y’all know where I’m going by now.

I usually don’t make threads focusing on fan theories and stuff, but this has been in my mind for a long while so I wanted to see what you guys think about it. Do you think more movies with the lord’s 2nd classes got made before the outfit swap was made? Or perhaps the issue the devs ran with that caused the Silver Snow Threorem might be due to something else entirely…? Also, what's y'all's opinion on SANZIGEN's movies compared to the ones done by KT?

Was recently replaying some of the No More Heroes games on Switch, and remembered the hype leading up to No More Heroes III. Do you remember any speculation or theories about the game leading up to it's release? I remember the big one was a leaked screenshot from one of the visual novel segments showing what seemed to be Young Harman Smith.

WARNING: This post contains spoilers for No More Heroes 3 as well as Flower, Sun, and Rain.

I remember that! I don't blame folks for thinking that.

I recall thinking it might be Aramata from Moonlight Syndrome, not that it would make much sense if it was.

Anyway, I recall a few other theories. A lot of people--including myself--were expecting appearances by the likes of Kusabi or Kuroyanagi. This speculation came from the end of the first NMH3 trailer from E3 2019 when Sylvia was calling out codenames at the end.

"The Tiger has awakened . . . red, green, dark, black, blood."

In The 25th Ward remake, as well as a few other stories Suda has written recently, many characters were given color codenames to represent them. Midori Midorikawa, a boss in NMH3, went by Green. Kuroyanagi goes by Black, etc. Of course, perhaps people--including myself-- just jumped the gun because now this can basically be a way of describing the alien goons and the multi-colored blood they tend to spill out.

A lot of us were also giving credence to Travis Strikes Again and how so many characters appeared in the visual novel segments, thinking everything was going to merge even more-so in NMH3. Although, Suda has said that he originally was going to have more connections, before they got cut.

I like to think is mostly because Suda can't retain rights to NMH so he'd probably rather wait for an IP he actually owns to encompass what he's established before. Either way, not a lot of this world-merging stuff really makes sense, so these days I'll take it or leave it. Suda has also stated he considers TSA a 'commemorative' title to Grasshopper, hence having so many characters invited to make cameos and such.

Here's one possible example of a removed cameo, the fine folks at believeinthe.net data-mined NMH3 and found a lot of unused emails. Here's one of them;

People that played Flower, Sun, and Rain can think of one particular talking alligator!

Screenshot from AdrianVG's dual-playthrough of FSR

I recall another theory, while not directly related to games outside of NMH, that Travis was going to essentially make amends with past villains like Destroyman and Kimmy in order to form his own team to take on Fu and his cronies. And not only that, but every new friend he'd make would utilize the NMH motel as their home base. This came from early previews showing Bad Girl and Shinobu had their own rooms there as well.

We thought this because one of the taglines from an earlier trailer;

From the first NMH3 Nintendo Direct Trailer, October 2020

"The Hood" as in people from Santa Destroy. Travis' hood. Didn't really happen, as Travis primarily fought everyone by himself. There was no real team-up until the near-end of the game.

I just remembered one last theory, that Tokio Morishima was in the game. This came from the very first piece of gameplay we saw all the way back in 2019.

From the NMH3 trailer first shown at The Game Awards 2019

I understand why people thought this, the spiky hair did remind me of Tokio.

Of course, what people didn't know at the time was that it was Henry, who was redesigned by Takashi Miyamoto, lead artist for The Silver Case and The 25th Ward.

At the very least, we did get to see previously established characters appear in NMH3, such as Midori Midorikawa, who Suda first wrote about back in 2018. Although the first time she was visually depicted was in the manga adapting that original story he wrote about 3 years later, but several months before No More Heroes 3 released.

And Kamui! At least a version of him, that whole thing is kind of finnicky. Also Notorious, from the Fire Pro Wrestling World DLC on PS4/PC.

These were the only theories I could recall myself. There could be more, but these were the ones I was most privy to. Thanks for your question!

Much as I am still excited for the game and happy with the new trailer, the more I rewatch it (and previous teasers) the more I'm feeling the lack of cinematography and attention that went into the marketing for Breath of the Wild. Getting more information is always fun, but since that first 2019 teaser, they haven't made something quite as... complete? The Direct trailer has its moments---I think it's pretty near perfect after Ganon's finished talking---but the Breath of the Wild E3 trailer is so distinct that I know people who like its music more than the music in-game! I think part of it is that Nintendo's being so selective that they can't pull in cutscenes or significant moments without giving something away, but I miss the vibe of the first teaser. I feel like I don't really know the tone of the game from recent trailers, and that makes it feel indistinct.

My 2024 Nintendo Wishlist | Gaming Instincts

The arrival of a brand new yr is all the time an thrilling time. With the entire of 2024 to look ahead to, meaning a complete lot of time to be excited for what might simply be across the nook. It’s an excessive amount of enjoyable to invest what might come subsequent within the gaming sphere, given how stacked the yr of 2023 was for gaming. Nintendo had a very loaded yr this time round, with entries from flagship collection like Tremendous Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Hearth Emblem, and Pikmin. With these heavy-hitters already at bat the yr prior, it may be comprehensible to anticipate 2024 to be a a lot quieter affair altogether. Nonetheless, that doesn’t imply the Nintendo fan in me can’t provide you with issues to be enthusiastic about within the coming yr. Understand that the next are simply my opinion with a wholesome dosage of copium. Right here’s what I hope to see from Nintendo in 2024.

3. Metroid Prime 4 Information

The story of Metroid Prime 4 is an extended and attempting story. Being introduced again in 2017 through the 2017 Nintendo Direct (and likewise through the Change’s heyday), Metroid Prime 4 has since then sunken beneath the waves of growth hell. However to say simply that might solely be telling half the story. When introduced, Metroid Prime 4 was manned by collection producer Kensuke Tanabe and developed by Bandai Namco Studios of Singapore and Japan. Followers of the Metroid Prime video games will discover that this workforce doesn't embody Retro Studios, the workforce liable for the Prime Trilogy.Prime takes a departure from the collection’ facet scrolling roots, ditching the 2D platforming airplane and elevating the collection with the first-person shooter perspective; and this inventive distinction occurred by happenstance. The Texas-based studio occurred to be creating a third-person capturing journey recreation with a feminine protagonist that caught Shigeru Miyamoto’s consideration in spite of everything different Retro tasks did not impress him. Retro Studios would then undergo a studio culling, shedding staff and canceling tasks to prioritize Metroid Prime. Regardless of rocky setbacks and the criticism of skeptics, the modern first-person journey recreation would develop into the most effective promoting Metroid recreation of all time till Metroid Dread. However Metroid is a collection that all the time appears to face obstacles within the growth pipeline. In 2018, Metroid Prime 4 was purported to be continuing as deliberate, no less than based on then Nintendo President Reggie Fils-Aime. Although he prefaced his statements with phrases like “effectively into growth” and “continuing effectively,” the shortage of footage to indicate off at that yr’s E3 had followers anxious. These issues could be based later in 2019 when Nintendo EPD common supervisor Shinya Takahashi gave the unlucky information of Metroid Prime 4’s venture restart. In line with Takahashi, the work Bandai Namco Singapore and Japan had achieved as much as that time was lower than the corporate’s excessive requirements. Although Takahashi did say that the choice was not made simply, the restart was in the end known as for in the long run. On this darkish time, Takahashi assured followers that Metroid Prime’s unique builders could be introduced again to deal with the monumental process. However “introduced again” is getting used loosely right here. The Retro Studios that crafted the unique Metroid Prime Trilogy just isn't the Retro Studios that exists right this moment. The first Retro expertise behind these video games, designer/director Mark Pacini and artwork director Todd Keller, left Retro Studios in 2008 shortly after Metroid Prime 3: Corruption launched. So as to add onto this, Retro Studios has been on the hunt since 2020 for key builders and expertise they might add to their workforce to help within the growth of Metroid Prime 4. The diploma of positions Retro was in search of confirmed each how far again Metroid Prime 4’s launch date was doubtlessly pushed and the way critical Retro was in making Prime 4 a actuality. Although devs have come and gone via the years of 2020 to 2023, Retro and its workers are arduous at work on Metroid Prime 4, backed up with each trade veterans and untested but passionate builders. Nintendo stays tightlipped on Metroid Prime 4’s state of affairs and progress, however little clues right here and there present that the sport may very well be on its means quickly.In 2022, Retro up to date their Twitter (or X) banner with idea artwork of Samus that was model new. There are additionally fewer general Retro job listings, which might point out that the sport presently has all the mandatory expertise it must thrive. Curiously, the Metroid Prime Trilogy was remastered and launched in early 2023 with out prior fanfare or announcement. In line with a German video games score board and an environmental artist who labored on the remaster at Retro, the remastered trilogy had been achieved for some time, way back to 2021, which means Retro and Nintendo had been sitting on this recreation for some time. Whether or not the remaster launch was to pave the way in which for Prime 4 or one other of Nintendo’s inane enterprise choices, we are able to’t say for certain, but it surely exhibits that Nintendo hasn’t forgotten in regards to the collection that made a reputation for itself within the West. Hopefully 2024 is when Metroid Prime 4 makes its grand return.

2. Hearth Emblem Remakes

I’m an enormous Hearth Emblem fan. The collection regained its footing again in 2012 with the immense success of Awakening and secured its place as one in all Nintendo’s flagship franchises. That was additionally across the time I got here on board with turn-based technique collection and have by no means gotten off ever since. Although I've been enjoying Hearth Emblem titles for the final 12 years, within the eyes of collection veterans, I'm nonetheless a little bit of a novice. And no, I don’t imply within the sense of HOW I play (Traditional/Arduous for me, thanks very a lot. I’m not THAT a lot of a grimy informal), however WHAT I performed. Awakening was the thirteenth recreation within the collection, and I’ve performed each subsequent recreation since, together with all of the spinoffs like Warriors and Tokyo Mirage Classes. (Heroes is a mainline recreation by the way in which. Sorry, I don’t make the principles.) I'd like to play all of the earlier titles, however all the pre-3DS video games are locked behind ageing {hardware} that's not accessible via simple means, no less than legally. This lack of accessibility additionally permeates to recreation design as effectively, as sure points of the older titles have aged like milk resembling map design, help mechanics, stock administration, and many others. These revered, basic video games are held again by limiting {hardware} and design, and a few are even cordoned off by way of the language barrier, just like the famend fourth and fifth video games within the collection.Giving these older video games a contemporary facelift could be a superb method to breathe life into Hearth Emblem’s older catalog and provides a method to attraction to each collection oldtimers and newcomers alike—and Hearth Emblem is not any stranger to remakes. Hearth Emblem 11, 15, and 12 have been remakes of Hearth Emblem 1, 3, and a couple of respectively. Additionally, if rumors are to be believed, Hearth Emblem developer Clever Programs might doubtlessly be at work on a remake of Hearth Emblem 4. This information got here across the time the leaks for Hearth Emblem Interact surfaced on the web which have been all later confirmed to be true.Clever Programs is presently working to ship a remaster of Paper Mario and the Thousand 12 months Door and I don’t understand how that can have an effect on Hearth Emblem.However I’ll be damned if I can’t no less than dream a bit.

1. New Nintendo Console

Undoubtedly, a brand new Nintendo console is on most individuals’s bingo playing cards for 2024. The Change has been out since 2017 and it isn’t precisely ageing all that gracefully. Efficiency is weak throughout the board and newer video games can hardly make a splash on Nintendo’s {hardware}. Simply have a look at how Mortal Kombat 1 appears on this factor. It’s hideous.

Followers have been speculating for years at this level for Nintendo’s subsequent huge factor, developing with modern names like “the subsequent Change” or the “Change Professional”. Although wholly uncreative, what Nintendo followers are cooking isn’t solely with out cause. Nintendo is famend for his or her exceptional method to console growth, adopting the “blue ocean” technique. Coined by W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne, this methodology mainly means to look at a present given house and set up a marketplace for an expertise and/or product that both is unexplored or no different competitor is presently delivering, therefore the “blue ocean” moniker. The Nintendo Change does precisely that. Although weak in specs, its twin mode of operation makes it an expertise that neither Microsoft nor Sony can rival or match. The Change was so forward of its time it successfully rendered the DS line of handhelds out of date (although handheld consoles have been already hanging on by a thread). What we wish from Nintendo is easy: an improved Change. A console that may maintain the ergonomic design and performance of the Change whereas boasting higher inside {hardware} could be a dream come true. The Change has had run over the past seven years and an upgraded model being introduced in 2024 will maintain the nice instances rolling for even longer. 2024 is just simply getting began and I can’t wait to see what this yr has in retailer for us. Keep tuned at Gaming Instincts by way of TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook for extra gaming information. Source link Read the full article

E3 - A despedida definitiva da maior feira de games

Em 1995, foi estabelecida a Electronic Entertainment Expo, também conhecida como E3, espaço no qual as grandes produtoras de games tiveram espaço para mostrar projetos inovadores para as próximas gerações. No entanto, a Entertainment Software Association, fez uma declaração recente no T-X(Twitter), dizendo que a E3 está cancelada permanentemente, o que indica que as edições de 2024 e 2025, ano em que o evento comemoraria 30 anos, estão fora dos planos da E.S.A., definitivamente. Atualmente o período de lançamentos de games no meio ano acontecem através de showcases próprios, e pelo Summer Games Fest, evento anual que apresenta diversas novidades sobre o mundo dos games. A última edição presencial da E3 foi em 2019, e naquela época tinha muito impacto na indústria de games.

Depois de mais de duas décadas de E3, cada uma maior que a anterior, chegou a hora de dizer adeus. Obrigado pelas lembranças.

Diversos acontecimentos corroboraram para essa decisão, tais como a ascensão de novos competidores, eventos digitais(sendo um dos maiores exemplos a Nintendo Direct), e a pandemia do Coronavírus em 2020, que causou o cancelamento massivo de diversos eventos presenciais. A última edição da E3 foi em 2021, de maneira digital.

Amazon acquires Tomb Raider, and EA cancels Apex Legends Mobile, Battlefield Mobile, and Titanfall 3! Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox no-shows at E3!

🕹️ The Console War Rages On

Sony, Xbox, and Nintendo will be no-shows at E3 2023!A new report by IGN has indicated that Xbox, Sony, and Nintendo will skip the yearly show, which finally returns to an in-person event since the pandemic started. While Xbox will return to Los Angeles for its annual summer showcase, they made no indication if it will be part of the E3 floor. Sony has not been a part of E3 since 2019 due to potentially ongoing issues with the Entertainment Software Association. Xbox, however, noted that they have a good relationship with the ESA. There are rumours which indicate that Nintendo will not have any big hitters after The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and as a result don't think the cost of an E3 booth makes economic sense. The report also notes that despite the new event organizers, ReedPop - who handles multiple other large conventions such as Star Wars Celebration, New York Comic Con, and PAX - there seems to be a lot of mismanagement of the event as a hold, with promises made with publishers last fall. Still, as of December 2022, the promised bookings have no information. (Source)

PlayStation has not cut PSVR2 production!In response to a Bloomberg report, PlayStation states that it has "not reduced PlayStation VR 2 production." According to GamesIndustry.biz, the company is "seeing enthusiasm from PlayStation fans for the upcoming launch, which will include more than 30 titles such as Gran Turismo 7, Horizon Call of the Mountain, and Resident Evil Village." The initial report indicated that Sony was significantly reducing its projections for PlayStation VR 2 and cautioned its supply chain partners that production could also decrease. According to the source, Sony has halved its original forecast for PSVR 2 shipments from two million units for the headset's launch quarter to one million. The PlayStation VR 2 release date is 22nd February. It will cost $550, and 37 titles are scheduled to be released during its launch window. (Source)

Embracer Group has leased Tomb Raider to Amazon!Amazon just acquired the 'Tomb Raider' rights from Embracer Group in a deal valued at approximately $600 million, making it Amazon's second largest commitment after purchasing the television rights for 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings'. Consequently, this provides context for the cost and commitments that Embracer may be seeking. (Source)

EA cancels Apex Legends Mobile, Battlefield Mobile, and Titanfall 3!According to three individuals who know the situation, Electronic Arts Inc. has cancelled a game based on the Apex Legends and Titanfall franchises. Respawn Entertainment was developing the game for EA, which had not yet been announced publicly. Tuesday, EA, one of the largest video game publishers in the world, issued a disappointing revenue forecast for the current quarter. The company announced the cancellation of the mobile game Apex Legends and a mobile version of Battlefield, as well as the closure of the studio responsible for their development. EA also delayed Respawn's highly anticipated Star Wars Jedi: Survivor in development. According to management, EA will attempt to place the approximately fifty members of the unnamed game's development team. According to individuals who know the situation and request anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, those who cannot be placed will be given severance packages and laid off. Titanfall Legends, or TFL, was a cancelled single-player game set in the same universe as Apex Legends and Titanfall. Seasoned designer Mohammad Alavi directed it until he left the company in early 2022. EA made several hints about the game, which was not advertised, even though it was not announced. (Source)

Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp gets relisted!Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon Canada, and EB Games have relisted Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp. Initially scheduled for release on the Nintendo Switch family of systems in December 2021, the collection was delayed indefinitely due to the Russian military invasion of Ukraine. Now that Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp has reappeared on numerous retail sites worldwide, speculation has arisen that Nintendo is prepared to commit to a release date for the compilation. Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is a WayForward and Nintendo collaboration. (Source)

Horizon Forbidden West gameplay leaked for its Multiplayer!Co-op gameplay footage from Guerilla's forthcoming Horizon: Forbidden West has allegedly leaked online. The video was brought to light by the game's official subreddit community and u/BirdonWheels, who claims the footage - reportedly shot in "summer 2020" - is "very old" and includes a "join-PC" and "join-PS4" option in the alpha build, indicating that the game may eventually support cross-platform connectivity. While we glimpse some combat, the video focuses primarily on the game's environments, characters, enemies, and potential skins. However, as the footage is almost three years old, a lot can change in that time, so don't be surprised if the final game looks or plays very differently from what we see in this leak. (Source)

Hi-Fi RUSH performs exceptionally well!The shadow-dropped game from Tango Gameworks during the Xbox Developer Direct showcase has found its way onto the top 10 best sellers for the week ending 29th January 2023 on SteamDB. Indicating that the game has done exceptionally well. Hi-Fi Rush is a rhythm-based action game for Windows and Xbox Series X/S developed by Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda Softworks. It was announced on 25th January 2023 and released the following day globally. Chai is a self-proclaimed "future rock star" whose music player is accidentally implanted in his chest during experimental cybernetic surgery, allowing him to sense the world's rhythm. Chai, labelled a "defect" and hunted by the corporation that transformed him, unites with new allies to defeat the company's executives and thwart their schemes. The Black Keys and Nine Inch Nails are licensed artists featured on Hi-Fi Rush. (Source)

📈 Financing the Bits & Bytes

In its most recent financial results released on Monday, the publisher reported that it sold 29.1 million games to consumers in the nine months leading up to 31st December 2022, an increase from the 25.8 million games sold during the same period in 2021.

And with continued sales of catalogue titles and the upcoming release of Resident Evil 4 on 24th March – a week before the end of Capcom's fiscal year – the company expects to sell more than 40 million game units, which would be a record for an entire year.

Capcom anticipates that 90% (36m) of these sales will be digital downloads and only 10% (4m) will be physical, with 75% (30m) being catalogue sales and 25% (10m) being new releases (Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and Resident Evil 4).

The company attributes its current sales figures to the release of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and its continued pursuit of digital sales, including the sale of catalogue titles primarily comprised of Monster Hunter and Resident Evil games.

The company sold 2.75 million copies of Monster Hunter Rise, 1.5 million copies of Resident Evil 2, 1.45 million copies of Devil May Cry 5, and 1.35 million copies of Resident Evil 3 in the nine months leading up to 31st December. Each of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and Street Fighter V has sold 750 thousand of units.

Despite massive unit sales, Capcom's sales revenue has decreased year-over-year, which the company again attributes to the release of "a new major title" in the same period of the prior year, most likely Resident Evil Village.

Net sales were 79,671 million yen for the nine months ending 31st December 2022 (down 9.6% year-over-year), operating income was 33,332 million yen (down 5.0% year-over-year), and ordinary income was 33,564 million yen (down 7.1% year-over-year).

Capcom expects these to be completed by the end of the fiscal year (31st March 2023), indicating that it has high hopes for Resident Evil 4. This would be Capcom's tenth consecutive year of increasing operating income. (Source)

According to the company's most recent financial report, 7.1 million PS5s were shipped in the three months leading up to 31st December 2022. This is nearly double the number of units sold during the same quarter last year, which was 3.9 million. According to Sony's earnings reports, the company has now shipped 32,1 million units of its latest generation console, which is in line with the 30 million lifetime sales figure disclosed at the beginning of January.

The global chip shortage significantly impacted production, making it difficult for the company to meet the demand for its new console for most of its two-year lifespan.

Isabelle Tomatis, vice president of brand, hardware, and peripherals at Sony Interactive Entertainment, stated earlier this week that PS5 consoles should now be more widely available at retailers worldwide.

Nikkei reports that Sony has increased its operating profit forecast for the end of the year from 1.16 trillion yen to 1.18 trillion yen (approximately $9.1 billion). Even though the new forecast still represents a 2 per cent year-over-year decline, a Bloomberg-quoted analyst was impressed by Sony's performance in light of the struggles of the entire technology industry.

An analyst at Morningstar Investment Service, Kazunori Ito, remarked, "Given the current global demand environment, it's astonishing that Sony's earnings are in line with expectations."

Aside from this, PlayStation Plus subscriber numbers increased marginally to 46,4 million quarter-over-quarter but were still lower than 48 million in the same quarter of the prior year.

Nevertheless, network service revenue increased by approximately 17 per cent, indicating that Sony's revamped PlayStation Plus subscription tiers are increasing average revenue per user.

VGC notes that Sony will need to continue selling PlayStation 5 consoles at a similar rate to reach its 18 million console sales target by the end of its fiscal year in 2022. This will necessitate the sale of an additional 5,2 million consoles in the quarter ending 31st March.

This objective may be attainable with the 22nd February release of the highly anticipated PSVR 2 headset and what appears to be a large-scale marketing campaign. (Source)

✨ Going to Events Spiritually

Xbox Games with Gold for February 2023 sees For the King and Guts N Goals added to the service. (Source)

PlayStation Plus members get four new games in February. Take on demonic Deadites in Evil Dead: The Game's asymmetrical multiplayer mode, grind and trick your way through the vibrant world of Radlandia in OlliOlliWorld, and live the life of a Prohibition-era gangster in Mafia: The Definitive Edition. In addition to these titles, Destiny 2: Beyond light joins the roster this month as a bonus game. From Tuesday, 7th February, through Monday, 6th March, all four titles will be accessible to PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium members. (Source)

🎮 Where's My Controller?

I have only been playing IXION for this past week. The game is addictive. I will be doing a written piece on this in the future. Most likely when I complete the game itself.

🎵 Turn it up to 11!

Since I've been obsessed with IXION, you need to hear the metallic contemplations across the stars with Guillaume David's excellent soundtrack. The soundtrack adds to the tense contemplations you will have to make as your resources dwindle and you frantically turn off factories and mismanage your population before their inevitable revolt. (YouTube Link)

📝I don't know what a pen looks like.

I recently my new piece on Megaman 11: "Does Megaman 11 deserve to be the best-selling game in the franchise?".

Megaman 11 brought the classic blue bomber back to new heights, and with that, it took the title of best-selling classic Megaman title. Capcom had pre-emptively purchased the domains of Megaman 12, 13, 14, and 15. With the glaring success that Megaman 11 has, there is still a demand for classic Megaman. That raises a question, though, Does Megaman 11 deserve to be the best-selling game in the franchise? You can read the rest here.

I also recognize some of you may not want reviews sent to your inbox. I will provide a new newsletter specifically for Reviews & Think Pieces in the coming weeks.

This week's newsletter was a bit more intense than I usually do. This is part of my plans to expand Void0Media. You will receive a taste of the Financial section I've been working on for a while. That portion of the letter is currently in Alpha, and tracking and compiling financial reports/data can be more time-consuming than a simple news digest. Once it exits Alpha, I will place it behind a paywall, which you can access via our Patreon. This is not absolute, and I would love to hear your thoughts and feature requests for the newsletter in the comments section here.

Be sure to use the "More Like This" or the "Less Like This" buttons at the end of the newsletter to let me know your thoughts on the newsletter.

The reason is simple: Naughty Dog is owned by Sony and Nintendo and Microsoft think Sony is stupid! But they did make a fun platform series. There are a few more references to original developer Naughty Dog, so assume that those have also been cleared from the game. Well not anymore! Just check out these photos of Gearnuke. She also has a Naughty Dog logo on her laptop.

There is also bad Sony news because Days Gone is no longer going to reach 2018! Bend Studio’s open world zombie survival game quietly got a 2019 date on Sony’s PlayStation site. So good times for the Naughty Dogs! Hopefully we’ll see the first gameplay of The Last of Us: Part 2 at the upcoming E3. Emilia Schatz and Richard Cambier have also been promoted and are now the studio’s lead designers. Newman and Margenau previously fulfilled this role for Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. He will receive help from Anthony Newman and Kurt Margenau who will jointly become the new game directors of the project. Fortunately, he will stay on as creative director for The Last of Us: Part 2. As the creative director of The Last of Us and Uncharted 4, Druckmann’s star has risen considerably in recent years. It is about Neil Druckmann who is now vice president of Naughty Dog. Promotions at Naughty Dog! Neil Druckmann now vice president of the studioĬheese cubes and slices of liverwurst at the Naughty Dog offices because a few people have been promoted! Naughty Topdog Evan Wells announced this on the blog of his studio. Check the video below for more explanation.
