That's because Yotei sold like shit. Sony's considering bundling it to artificially boost sales numbers, but PS5 sales are in the gutter, so they dont know what to do but stay silent.

they didn't get the message about not bragging and acting like faggots online
ultra narcissistic behaviour appears to be acting smug and superior and drunk on your own perceived invulnerability and then blaming everyone when the illusion is lifted
this has happened so many times now and they still don't seem to learn
although in this case i think they truly thought the success of GoT would let them immediately double down on the gay and burn that good will for ESG points
it failed
the tides are turning, but don't forget about the sign

Sony always does this anon. Issue is that we're now in a landscape where the majority of gamers aren't buying games, at least in the POWER OF THE CELL era they were putting out games regularly for people to buy.

When they put out one a year and it's middling to crap like Yotei is, Spiderman was, etc. coupled with it coming to PC in six months to a year where mods inevitably make it better? It's a much more dire landscape.

Sony knew this game was gonna be mid when one of the main selling points in their media was the Watanabe mode.

Its so frustrating how much of a waste this game is. The first one had dogshit woman empowerment writing but at least the gameplay was fun and I didn't have to play as the most unlikeable bitch imaginable. All they had to do is make the MC male and this game would have still sold well, ONE THING and they couldn't do that because they hate the people that actually buy and play games that much.

I just don't want to play as a Woman in a Samurai themed game. I have a certain image in my head, largely related to Kurosawa movies.

I got that with Jins game. It wasn't a particularly amazing game. But it fit that theme pretty damn well, and it was fun because of that. Underneath it all though - it's just another Ubisoft Collectathon with slightly better combat. Which isn't all that amazing in the modern era. So the only thing that had me interested in the game was the themes.
And the new game just doesn't have that. So I'm not interested and I didn't bother buying it.

I boughted it because I was extremely bored and I've only been able to put in like 6 hours. It's literally the same game again. I'll probably marathon it over winter break but regret wasting my shekels on it for full price. I say this as someone who doesn't care that she's a women, I was willing to give the character a chance. She's boring as fuck though, narratively the game is a lot weaker and they do a terrible job of setting up the world. I don't even think they explained what the historical context or geography are you're just kind of dropped into this impressionistic fable land which is fine but not at all what made the first games opening hours so strong.

The issue is that the first game came out before samurai slop over everywhere. In the time between this game and the first. 20+ AAA samurai games have come out.

Ah yes the most expensive place to run ads. Also not like Tsushima didn't have ads everywhere

The R&D on their in-house engine was done for Tsushima, this looks nicer but the jump from Second Son to Tsushima was immensely bigger and that was the same hardware. Washington is expensive but it sure as hell isn't LA, Vancouver or some of the other more popular studio locations.
