IGN UK Podcast #559: The Manic Marsupial and Jesse's Voice Changer

-
The manic marsupial, AKA Crash Bandicoot is back, and because he forgot to press record the first time; so is Dale with a second go at explaining all his thoughts on the game. Jesse is also on and has been playing a ton of Star Wars: Squadrons. In other news, he also has a new voice changer toy that distracts us for a good 30 seconds too. Cardy rounds off the trio by telling us all about his early thoughts of the Mafia Remaster and we also have an extremely tight round of The Endless Search that needs an action replay to decide a winner. It's tense stuff. Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please do: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Preloading Has Begun

-
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom isn't out for another week, but it's now officially available for preloading. As of today, Nintendo Switch users who preordered Tears of the Kingdom digitally can now preload the game a week early as expected. Of course, it still won't be playable until the game officially unlocks, but preloading it now might help you jump back into the world of Hyrule a little bit earlier — as GameSpot pointed out, the file is 16.2GB. Some fans have reported difficulty with getting the preload to begin, but it appears there's a simple solution. According to Twitter user @PhantomxKairi, canceling the preorder and preordering again should prompt the preload to begin correctly. My digital version of Tears of the Kingdom is now preloading on my Switch! For those who don't see the preload yet (I used a NSO game voucher) cancel the preorder and preorder again, download will pop up! Can't wait for May 12th <3 #Zelda #ZeldaTearsofth

PlayStation Delisting Cyberpunk 2077 'Influenced' Sales on Other Platforms, CDPR Says

-

CD Projekt says its Cyberpunk 2077 sales figures should take into account the decisions made by Sony to delist Cyberpunk from the PSN store.

In the company’s first investors call after the incredibly troubled release of the sci-fi roleplay game, a CDPR executive implied that Sony’s decision to pull Cyberpunk 2077 off of the PlayStation Store influenced sales on other platforms.

“In general I would say that the sentiment about Cyberpunk and the situation with the Sony digital storefront — the fact that we were cut off from large portions of the market which may have also indirectly affected gamers’ decision to purchase the game on other platforms — definitely influenced the sales,” the CDPR executive said.

Sony took Cyberpunk 2077 off of its storefront on December 17, 2020, following widespread criticism of the role-playing game’s dismal performance issues on consoles compared to PC. This was an incredibly rare move by Sony, considering the huge sales potential even despite criticism of the game. CDPR also launched its own unprecedented refund policy and on Thursday, CD Projekt estimates it has issued 30,000 refunds thus far.

CD Projekt Joint Chief Executive Adam Kicinski told Reuters that March’s big 1.2 patch is a step towards getting Cyberpunk 2077 back on the PlayStation Store. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/04/01/cyberpunk-2077-ps4-ps5-xbox-series-xs-console-performance-review-patch-12"]

PlayStation’s decision certainly had some sort of effect on Cyberpunk 2077 sales — one doesn’t simply disappear from one of the biggest gaming storefronts without some impact — but CD Projekt still reported that Cyberpunk 2077 sold 13.7 million copies in 2020.

That’s still short of what analysts forecasted, an average of 14.5 million copies estimated. The comparatively lackluster sales resulted in CD Projekt losing 50% of its market value. Despite all that, 2020 was still CD Projekt’s best financial year ever.
