Tencent

>>15740865

More like the most realistic scenario. This is exactly how those yellow kikes operate

>>15740858

Very scary but also fairly likely. They make a lot of money with playstation but they also sink a dickton of money into it, the only people who could consider buying it would have to have the money to keep it going and that sure as hell isn't any company on this continent or Japan. China would explain all the censorship too.

Doesn't bode well for any big Sony titles that are singleplayer and not DLC ridden as fuck. Not that there are much left but there's a couple

Kratos norse trilogy gets cut short and he goes to China when?

What does Sony have that's profitable other than Playstation? I know they just bought Funimation recently. Is Sony turning into a multi-media company and leaving hardware completely?

Disney

>>15740928

There would be another incentive for the bugmen at Tencent to buy the Playstation brand: Chinese government will want them to. Why? Chinks absolutely hate the Nips, so the opportunity to make the Playstation brand a huge success under Chinese ownership, whereas Japanese ownership failed, would be a huge incentive for them culturally and gives them something to mock the Nips with. Massive fucking bragging rights.

Strangely enough, that might also reverse the censorship shit that Sony has, cause the bugmen don't care for SJW shit and the baizuo (white left). The only censorship will be censoring anti-Chinese government comments and mentions of Tianamen Square.

>>15740858

>>15740865

>>15740892

Unless they can bypass strict Japanese laws, then no, they can't directly or entirely sell Sony to the Chinks wholesale.

Don't forget they're making games for other systems now too through Sony music or something like that

>>15740980

Why do you think they moved Playstation to California? They sold Vaio and SOE.

>>15740962

Why sell Playstation to Tencent if it still makes money? It doesn't make sense.

Dubs say Microsoft.

Sony has been a fucking cancer since Betamax. I don't know how people are always shocked at how kikelike they are, those that forget history are doomed to repeat it I guess. Sony has never had any soul, and all of you cuntboys that still own a shitstation are part of the problem.

They’re hoping Days Gone and Last of Us 2 can save them. Judging by OP, he forgot those two “masterful cinematic” games are in the works.

>>15740998

They got entire divisions and their owners are still nips, they could possibly sell the Gaming/Entertainment Division, but that would mean they have deal with killing the entire company, and Tencent can't possibly take a stake nor will Sony sell itself to foreigners because said laws, the Nip Government and Citizens would grab their katanas and do Banzai charges. It's the biggest Japanese company.

>>15741019

It's by the Bubsy 3D developers.

>>15741025

HAHAHAHAHAHA

They're fucked

>>15741032

>>15741025

They also made Syphon Filter and spinoffs for Uncharted and Resistance, I'm sure things will be fine, if you like Snoy.

>>15741032

No bully, the Syphon Filter games were good old fashioned Tom Clancy military conspiracy third-person shooter games.

>>15741032

Only in name (not even, they changed studio names) they're mostly a portable game developer after the syphon filter games.

>>15741038

>Snoy.

still don't get this meme but as far as I know it's from cuckchan

>>15741002

I meant from first party Sony efforts.

>>15741001

because the PS4 is nearing the end of it's lifespan and developing a new console would put the whole division back into a loss state for several years until the console is firmly established into the market. They simply might want to unload the brand now while it still looks valuable on paper rather than take a huge financial risk on starting work on the PS5.

>>15741018

Japs get around that by making subsidiaries and selling them off. As long as the parent company remains intact in Japan they can liquidate everything else, which is what Sony has done for the past couple decades now. Jap boomers are just as good at selling off everything of value for short term gain as western ones. That's why Japan went from one of the world's greatest electronic manufacturers in the 90s to a kiked up service based economy (AKA shitty teenager-tier jobs are now fucking "careers") like the US and Europe.

>>15741006

And you're forgetting just how bad Nintendo gets when they don't have any viable competition.

>>15741042

>cuckchan

Comes from someone misspelling Sony when discussing their censorship, everything else was in japanese except Snoy. Snoy kinds of just works. Snoy's Goy and Soy.

>>15741042

From what I gather the Snoy meme came from some jap going on a rant about Sony censorship and misspelling the name, and it caught on as a meme with them. But you're right, cuckchan uses it quite a bit. Personally I'm more of a fan of Kusony but that never stuck.

>>15741056

>>15741066

I like Kusony. Would like to see the original use of it.

>>15741045

Doesn't matter, China censors anything "anti-socialist," which is why Siege is getting a bunch of stupid shit censored before it releases over there. If Tencent bought Playstation, you'd see that level of censorship throughout every game on the console.

>>15741006

I'll give you the trinitron and the walkman, the rest not so much.

>>15740979

>cause the bugmen don't care for SJW shit and the baizuo (white left)

It's important to remember that the baizuo meme isn't mocking the censorship, it's mocking the western sjw's *reasons* for the censorship. They're just fine with their own domestic censorship.

>>15741087

If that doesn't confirm that their mods are all either soy beings or trannies, I don't know what does.

>>15741049

So Sony is intentionally devaluing the Playstation brand on purpose by killing it's domestic market in Japan so they can sell it off and not make another Playstation at their expense in favor of Chinese markets. Did Sony blow that much money on Playstation 5 and VR?

>>15740976

If Disney wasn't already in the middle of buying Fox, I could see that happening. It'd give them even more monopoly over entertainment and get them into one of the big 3 video game companies.

>>15740851

If anyone going to buy the PlayStation brand it will probably be amazon or Disney.

>>15740858

That would be fun

>Chinese malware in every console

>China numba 1 everywhere

>Get on a blacklist that bans you from buying games if you badmouth China, better apologize and love china goy

Thats if you can even get the cheap plastic console to turn on.

Press S to spit in Soystation's grave

That would make perfect sense if every company operated exactly the same way, sure.

This, the PSX was the most fun i had with vidya in my entire life and broight up many beloved videogames.

>>15740851

>no new big sony owned games in the works

Are you daft, there are plenty, their studios aren't just sitting around, E3 means nothing to Sony, E3 is where the big new games are shown to enthusiasts, a small portion of the gaming market. I think the Playstation HQ moving to Cali and new censorship could point towards a sale, and a sale isn't even a bad idea, Sony realize that the console marketplace is volatile, even though they are the most successful company in the market, their profits have never been as significant as Nintendo and even they have found themselves losing lots of money from one bad decision, a sale while the brand is at such a high is a good way to make a lot of money very fast.

>>15741657

>soytendo

I never got this, Sony are the ones that make games for soy enthusiasts, you can't even spell sony without Soy. A sale now while the brand is so hot is a good idea, especially when you look at the profits of the business in the past, the PS3 wiped out the profits from the PS2 and PS1, another bad gen could easily put the entire divisions lifetime profits at a negative, and the Playstation brand, that's worth billions right now, Sony could sell the whole division for more than what they would make in 3 successful gens, then reinvest in the far more lucrative phone game market, or even better, just make games, the money isn't in the consoles, it's in the games.

>>15741665

Whether or not Tencent is going to own anything I can't really say, but do you truly not see this entire industry going down the horrible road of mobile garbage? Don't delude yourself.

>>15741679

>it's in the games

If Sony went that route, it would all depend on how aggressive it is in making games, and not necessarily only big AAA releases. They also have a history of having 3rd parties push their console exclusives and letting their own properties die.

The switch is outselling it in japan and america you stupid fag.

>>15741711

>>15741679

>their profits have never been as significant as Nintendo

Nintendo got absolutely dunked on in the set-top market for 4 gens straight (excepting the Wii fad among casuals), failing so hard they completely gave up. Nintendo's success in the handheld market shouldn't be used as a yardstick for PS's performance.

>>15741480

soe ruined every mmo they had which is a shame because they had some of the best and most innovative ones around. planetside, swg and e2 were all great games that got fucked by management

>>15741704

Sony has more development studios and teams than Nintendo, and they can make a big hit, The Last of Us sold 17 million units.

>>15741727

Nintendo are the only company who have been able to continuously make money from video games hardware, their worst generation didn't negate the profits from all previous generations either.

Right now is the best time for Sony to sell, I hope they make the mistake of not selling though, it would be more fun to see them fail.

>>15741788

They still have their walkie talkies and Gran Turismo, GT used to be huge, Sony's fault for not making sure Polyphony actually do their job.

>>15741657

>unlike their retarded adventures in Kikewood they actually make a profit here.

Which is used to bail out Sony pictures and others.

>INB4 PlayStation and Sony pictures two different

Companies

The leaked Sony e-mails say otherwise.

>>15741679

>I never got this

Liar. You know damn well trannies and nu-males love Nintendo.

>>15740851

What happened to all the money Sony made from PS4? Did they just burn it or did their film division waste it all on that shitty Ghostbusters remake?

Sell it to Nintendo.

Make amends and do what it was supposed to do.

>>15742008

>or did their film division waste it all

Pretty much.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Sony's gaming division just about their most profitable division?

Get this flag off of me

>>15742027

currently. But console divisions tend to go through a period of operating in the red when it comes time to release new hardware before they start making money again. Sony might not consider it worth it to start the cycle again in a market that increasingly dwindling into just Nintendo/mobileshit/steam.

>>15741042

I think it was some Jap wordplay combing snow/white with soy.

>>15740851

SAME SHIT happened during the ps3's launch they dropped the ball hard, glad i didnt bother with gen 8 i got a xboner and got in and out early sold it in 2015

>>15742027

Over the long term Sony's most profitable divisions are banking and insurance. SIE only recently became profitable, and arguably half the reason was because they shut down their Tokyo HQ and consolidated in the US while having a whole two fucking games that sold well, God of Soy and Spidernigger.

>>15740851

I honestly doubt the likes of Riot Games and Epic Games are free of giant faggots who can't wait to shove their agendas onto players, or just giant faggots in general.

>>15742514

>This meme that China has better censorship needs to die.

sure, in the beginning they would just take over the existing operation, but it won't be long till they start trimming the fat.

and you could argue they're more interested in making shekels than collect good-boy-points (and they know sex sells), so as soon as some higher-up sees a soy spasm that cuts into profits they'll bring down the hammer.

it all depends how tight the leash is

>>15742534

I mean, do you know anyone with a Sony phone anymore? Sony Ericsson was a big brand in the 00s. I assume there was a sharp drop from 07 to 13 as well.

>>15742525

Exactly, you want to see how Tencent will handle censorship? Look at how Riot Games bans players for being "Toxic". I've fucking had it with these retards acting like china will somehow give them more freedom of speech. They post this garbage every time a Chinese buyout comes up in a thread, like they are trying to shill that a Tencent takeover will be a good thing.

>>15742540

Fuck off CIDF.

>>15742552

are you retarded? how many sjw do you think there are in china?

MUH TOXICITY can easily be sold as "improve the game -> more players", deliberately selling worse versions on your platform that WILL lose you customers is a whole different matter

>>15742545

Shows how much of a volatile scam the mobile market is. Until users get the an OS on par with computers then it will eternally be doomed to being an industry where the software controls the hardware, and the software is inherently shit thanks to Steve Job's stupid Art grad-tier understanding of how a phone's operating system should be formatted

Used to live in a time, when Sony had great commercials and a sick AA collection. Now? Help.

>>15742586

>Considering it's full of pinko communist boomers?

wait, you think all communists are sjw's? are you seriously that retarded?

the reason that sjw shit works in the first place is because we don't cart them off into a ditch the minute they step out of line. go on, be a special snowflake in china

>the developers at a company do not magically turn into "le based Chinese" when they get bought out.

>>15742463

Normally you'd use arrays or another form of "database" so you only need one if statement, if even at all.

>>15742703

Yeah steam is still censoring things too. Most games on PC you can't own so just pirate them.

If Tencent buys Playstation then how will they implement the social credit score system in the west? Instead of banning you from PSN, every report you get for "toxicity" decreases your social PSN score. And if your PSN score is too low then every game released will eventually blacklist you from public and private matchmaking servers.

>>15740851

>Toyko HQ sold to raise money

Where is the proof in this? I have not seen any articles that define an actual sale, only speculation. Also Sony still has its headquarters in Minato-ku, Tokyo. Sony Interactive Entertainment moved to California, but Sony itself still has a Tokyo headquarters.

>>15742788

Hasn't happened it seems, just that they would be willing to do it to recover losses. Since apart from a few shit movies they've been doing fine I don't think it's gonna happen any time soon.

>>15742552

Im not defending the soulless bugpeople, but riot is rotten from the inside. The question is just how much autonomy the CEO/HR folks there have and if the bugmen force them to hire SJWs, or if they do it because they are SJWs themselves.

>>15742788

They didn't sell their HQ, they consolidated their SIE branches to one in California. Sony's parent company is still based out of Tokyo, but for all intents and purposes the parent branch has next to nothing to do with SIE except for scooping up their profits at the end of the day.

>>15741076

During the Betamax vs VHS wars, Sony went so far as to apply pressure THROUGH THE GOVERNMENT to swing things in their favor. They are the very stereotype of a soulless corporation. If some of their MASSIVE MONEY managed to produce a few solid pieces of hardware, that's no sort of justification for everything else they've done.

>>15742296

Unless someone could secure the copyrights to the '90s franchises, nothing of value is lost.

>>15742839

>Why would Sony sell off one of the few branches they have that actually makes money?

Why would Sony suddenly put a censorship policy into place that will alienate the entire Japanese market and a niche but loyal western fanbase for the sake of virtue signaling to game journos?

Why would they bet SIE can stay up indefinitely on the premise that it can produce AAA blockbusters on a consistent basis?

Sony is making a ton of irrational decisions that no sane company would make. There is clearly some kind of major conflict within the current management or the San Mateo branch is just flat out dysfunctional. At this rate nothing is out of the question, including the possibility of SIE getting liquidated. Keep in mind Sony also runs a bank so who knows what they may do for a quick hit of cash to prop up the kikery that comes with that industry. The main branch may be talking about selling off and that would explain why SIE has gone fucking bonkers.

>>15742416

>japs playing with numbers

Just like their tourism trap with "no crime" "no foreigners"

>>15742463

For the sake of modularity and maintainability you should not have to re-write code, if there is a pattern to how you're writing statements, then you can bet your ass there's a way to compartmentalize it and re-use it.

Either setting up a function, a class, an array, anything.

I mean fuck, there isn't ANY excuse in C#, considering you can even create like a placeholder function that simply expands the original function if you're not using a variable in it.

Fermented soy in soy sauce is fine.

Raw soy is not only a plant estrogen its an nutrition leech it bonds to vitamins in your body and prevents them from being absorbed.

So its the opposite of nutrition.

The branches of sony that make the most money are it's banking and "hollywood"/music branches, not vidya.

Brainwashed >>>/v/15742552 best.

>>15743408

I have no idea anon.

I brought up Soy to my therapist who is also a nutritionist and you might as well think Soy is the plant jew and my therapist the Soy Hitler.

He gave me 20 extra minutes because he was fucking raving about it and that's where I learned Soy actually leeches nutrition from you other then giving you an dis-balance of hormones.

>>15743493

>you might as well think Soy is the plant jew and my therapist the Soy Hitler.

Skeletons and symbology of death are illegal in China.

Its cultural but also has to do with the leaders of China being obsessed with the Emperor Qin. They steal have parts of his tomb sealed out of respect for him.

Qin was also obsessed with immortality and ironically died from it because he poisoned himself with mercury thinking it would save him.

The leaders of china also use this as a form of symbology, "China will never die" so images of death are forbidden.

>>15743550

This seems like the ideal answer, but what are said fermentation devices CALLED?

>>15743486

People bring up Nintendo because it's Sony's primary competition. Xbone isn't really doing much. When we started this generation, it felt to me like Xbox or Playstation were not going to make it. They are both two extremely similar consoles as far as hardware goes. Their most popular games are multiplatform. There's no reason for the market to have two nearly identical systems that play 90% of the same games. The Gamecube/PS2/Xbox generation was the start of there not being much difference between what each console could do. The bit wars were over, there weren't major eye dropping differences between the hardware after that.

I saw all of this and knew Nintendo would be the one that would be the safest this generation, because they had something unique, whether you like it or hate it. What I didn't expect were the rumors of PS to drop instead of Xbox. Xbox has always been a loss, but MS uses it as R&D for games and Windows. Though I would have expected with their shift to mobile it wouldn't be worth the R&D anymore.

The next generation is going to be a two console race between Nintendo and Sony or MS. Sony isn't going to take a major risk and try something radically different. As another anon noted, Sony fucked up bigly with PS3, and they basically ate through all their PS1 and PS2 profits. They could easily fuck up with PS5 by doing something radical and blow all the profits they made with PS4.

MS already fucked up huge with Xbone with the whole TV big brother kinnect shit. They won't try anything radical either.

One of them is very likely to leave the console market. Sony is in far worse shape than MS, and they could use the money from selling PS. At this point, I'm going to be surprised if the new PS or Xbox is something other than a die shrunk AMD APU, with either PS or Xbox not showing up to the party. A traditional console has turned into a giant volatile risk, there's far more value in both the Xbox and Playstation brands than there are actually launching a new console.

>>15743566

If a Chinese company buys either Xbox or Playstation, you'll see censorship horrors beyond your wildest dreams

>>15743622

Japanese developers are going to start fleeing Playstation. Sony has no problem showing two young girls making lesbian kisses in their Western game, but Japanese devs can't show some anime tiddies in some niche shmup?

There's going to be no need for a buyout for Nintendo to grab up all those Japanese developers.

>>15743566

Of course they are. How else are they going to probe your brain directly when you're not noticing?

>>15743538

I do hope classic Nier and Kingdom Hearts III come to PC eventually. But it depends on how in bed Square Enix is with Sony or Tencent. We'll see.

Also wish there was more Kainé and 2B porn. I know it's canonically impossible but could be fun futa action.

>>15743087

Speaking of modular pieces in games I'm pretty sure cuckdev isn't re-using his code in anything at all. Also when you do create code you need to critically think not only how you can use it for your current project but future projects as well. A solid modular code can be tweaked to suit similar situations in different games. For example an RPG that's 3D vs an RPG that's 2D may use a similar battle system but uses in scene Z coordinates to targeting instead of in scene X and Y coordinates.

>>15741987

>Nintendo supports child rape

don't talk out your ass, post source.

>>15743620

Considering the Playstation is the only Sony division that's profitable, it's unlikely that they'd sell. Frankly, they're more likely to sell their movie division to Disney or something, and their audio/tech divisions to Samsung. Without Playstation, they're dead.

The thing with Microsoft is, they have the cash to spare. The Xbox is most likely a tax shelter for them, anyway. But even despite all the memes, they have about 30 mil Xbones out there. It's a distant second to the PS4 and will be passed by the Switch but it's not a billion-dollar loss like the RRoD was. Still a loss, but I think they're playing the long game.

>>15743622

It's quite unlikely, I don't think Squeenix has the shekels for something like that. I think aside for Chinkware, only EA and Activision-Blizzard have the cash to buy Playstation out. However, it'd be damn funny, to say the least.

I think it's even more likely that Microsoft would buy out Playstation and shelf it, to get rid of the competition. They're too invested in making the Xbox a brand to shelf it in favor of the Playstation in a buyout scenario.

>>15743641

It's profitable, but it's volatile. There's no guarantee that PS5 will be as profitable either. If Sony sells the PS brand, they'll definitely make money, instead of only possibly making money. I have a feeling Sony wants to be known more as a movie/tech company than just a video game company. I'm just saying, as a possibility, Sony could sell PS as a conservative option (guaranteed profits from selling instead of having to try and win a console war to be massively profitable) and then take that money and try and make their other divisions profitable.

>>15743620

>People bring up Nintendo because it's Sony's primary competition.

I don't think they're even after or in the same market honestly.

>>15743641

If that's true then why alienate Japan with strict censorship and kill the Vita? Why ban VN ports when that's one of your domestic market profitable ventures? Why put everything in Triple A western titles when you know a good chunk of your brand income comes from the Japanese niche markets? All these polices in place may be to devalue the PlayStation brand as a while to prepare it to sell if Playstation 5 tanks.

The sole reason Playstation 4 succeeded in the west is because of Xbox One's always online meme, which Microsoft never recovered from. Xbox gamers have proven to not have brand loyalty. If Playstation 5 comes out like the PS3 did and under perform expectations then they'll jump back to Xbox again. And if both consoles are identical in features and cost then the consumer may take the plunge into Steam and PC gaming. Only diehards will remain with Playstation but they are a minority to the customer base playing PS4 right now. Chads want to smoke cigarettes, drink beer, and play Madden on the platform their friends have.

>>15743681

>>15743672

I think they're banking it all on the West. Nintendo owns Japan, Sony's primary markets are the US and Europoors. It's the misguided belief that Social Justice sells, since that's what the media pushes in those regions.

I don't understand this belief that the PS3 bombed. It didn't. It bombed at launch, but if we're going by those metrics then the 3DS bombed as well. The PS3 ended up nearly-tying the 360 at the end of the generation. It cost them, yes, but that's a decent install base. The brand is strong and they haven't pissed the west off yet.

>>15743553

What the fuck this is more education than I was expecting to get today, much less from /v/

>>15743738

If that's the case then Sony deserves to go bankrupt as a whole. I don't think Sony is that retarded to bank on social justice to sell PlayStation. They're not that retarded. If anything I suspect malicious intent by the stock holders who right now are interested in corrupting PlayStation with Sony Pictures. And those stock holders will want to get rid of "toxic gamers" and cut PlayStation out of Sony. Also Sony can publish games without PlayStation without hardware limitations again. Even on Xbox and Nintendo platforms if PlayStation is gone. Sony's future maybe in software publishing, not hardware manufacturing.

Sony first party titles are actually doing extremely well, there isn't really anything to indicate that The Last of Us 2 will undersell The Last of Us heavily, undoubtedly it will sell less, but that's mainly because The Last of Us had a cross gen re-release, as far as individual customers go it will more than likely outsell the original, and it will undoubtedly outsell Nintendo's best single player title, because Playstations first party brand is actually doing really well. During the PS1 and PS2 generations the only Sony games to really sell well were Gran Turismo, now with the PS4 their first parties are outstripping themselves and meeting heights previously reserved for the occassional Nintendo first party title and Halo, at least as far as first party games are concerned, Uncharte 4 is the best selling Uncharted game, and by a significant margin, God of War is already without even a year gone the best selling God of War title, Horizon Zero Dawn sold extremely well, beating Nintendo's best selling debut IP Spiderman hit 3 million units in 3 days, and the holidays haven't even started.

Sony still has Ghosts of Tsushima, Death Stranding and Days Gone as well. Ghost of Tsushima looks like it will hit HZD levels of sales, and Death Stranding could easily be a major release for Sony. As far as business is going things look very good for the Playstation brand and especially it's games, Nintendo has a few strong sellers this gen but Sony are easily holding their own against them, something you could never say in past generations.

>>15744912

Call me retarded, but does sony actually make any money off the games themselves? I thought they made the money off console sales.

>>15740979

Anti-China purchasing sentiment is too strong, they would have to shill 24/7 to cover-up the fact they're owned by tencent or the Sony brand would go into literal freefall.

>>15744964

Actual hardware sales should have either a negative or tiny profit margin for Sony, and they move the price down to sell more units, Sony makes money from royalty fees, which is unknown, their biggest money maker is paid online which is around $2bn a year, or at least was in 2016, it's probably much higher at this point. The cost of supporting features made available through paid online is also quite cheap, and the games they distribute through PS+ are also apparently quite cheap to licence.

the coagulant for traditional japanese style tofu is called "nigari" and is also used as a magnesium supplement in other foods

"nigari" is also the japanese word for magnesium chloride.

traditionally made japanese tofu has high magnesium due to magnesium sulfate or magnesium chloride being used as a coagulant in the manufacturing process. it actually counters the estrogens in the soy and increases natural testosterone production.

traditional japanese tofu is he food embodiment of yin and yang

the soy is the female yin and the magnesium is the male yang all in perfect harmony

under shogun rule the samurai were actually banned from consuming meat other than fish (and deer with special permission) and were on this magnesium rich tofu diet.

most tofu outside of japan is (((chinese style))) using calcium sulfate (gypsum) as a coagulant instead with no magnesium content. chinese style tofu was traditionally used by buddhist monks specifically to decrease the libido.

Up until 1941, virtually all of the tofu made in Japan was curded with natural nigari. A detailed history of nigari in Japan is given in The Book of Tofu (Shurtleff and Aoyagi 1975, p. 284-85, 213). When the war started, the Japanese government appropriated all of the country's nigari (which is primarily magnesium chloride) for use as a source of magnesium to build lightweight aircraft. Tofu makers were forced to switch to calcium sulfate and consumers generally agreed that the flavor of the tofu suffered as a result. After the war, however, most tofu shops continued to use calcium sulfate for (((various reasons)))

japanese birth rate has been in decline ever since

Drinkable soy milk was invented in China by an American named Harry Willis Miller. He built the first full scale soy dairy in January 1937 then in August 1937 the Imperial Japanese Army destroyed it. Harry escaped the Japanese, left China, and returned to America in 1939 where he founded The International Nutrition Foundation introducing "soyfoods" to the world and became the root of our modern (((soy))) problem. The samurai tried to stop it.

>Don't re-up PS+ nor get it.

I bought a PS4 in 2016 to play Gravity Rush 2, and I never even bothered to redeem my "free" trial for PSN. There is zero justification for that shit. Haven't redeemed or plan to pay even a fucking penny for Nintendo's online service either.

The only one I've spent any amount of money on is Xbox Live, because I don't have an Xbox One or PS3, so occasionally they have these $1 re-up promotions that I'll pay out for because I get to keep (as much as digital allows) the 360 games and then just cancel again as soon as the second offering is redeemed.

$1 is not a bad price for two 360 games.

>>15740928

Isn't it beautiful?

>>15745193

sure, most of them have. 6th gen included. 7th gen was the only one that really stood out. Nintendo's entire MO has been to use cheap components to produce new hardware capable of interesting game play.

>>15745190

And hey, if you think about, Microsoft is actually paying me in a way for taking those games off their hands. The vast majority of the cost of a PSN/XBL subscription is the games, and no matter how cheap they get them from the publishers - I really doubt that $1 covers it, so Microsoft is eating the cost on the remainder of the licensing fee because they assume they'll make it up over the next few months of subscription fees that they'll never get from me because fuck paying to play online, fuck paying them so I can watch netflix, and fuck them for thinking they can make me.

>All of this gen was sold at a profit

Sources say otherwise. LESS of a loss, sure.

>>15745229

>especially in processing power.

that was more due to hardware choice. AMD seems like a partnership thing based on promises that AMD is going to keep.

>>15745235

sorta. Now they're all sold at a profit.

>>15745199

A big black crock to be exact.

>>15745236

8th gen were built on low-end laptop SoCs. AMD had plenty of stronger options at the time, and games weren't really CPU bottlenecked at the time to begin with.

>>15745253

AMD had better hardware, but the APUs being used were a decent mix of high end PC hardware (about equivalent to a 7850 at the time) and an 8-core desktop cpu but at mobile speeds. I don't think an equivalent chip was available to consumers.

>>15743974

>>15745184

Partial lie, Nintendo aim for profit with their hardware, it tends to be a big part of their income, the GC was sold at a loss only at the end of the generation when they were selling for $99, probably a ploy to remove all excess stock. You could technically call it a loss per console if you counted R&D costs.

>>15745288

Oh of course the GC was sold at a loss for that price. The Xbox was too, they were desperate to compete with the PS2.

>>15745295

>in both gameplay, scope and visuals.

>>15745331

>>15745300

I found a source, it sold at a loss at the start of it's life and at the end, and the GC and the WiiU are the only Nintendo consoles that were sold at a loss.

>>15745284

Point was prior gens used discrete graphics, shared RAM or not.

>>15745295

>That's literally what the source says

Sources said less than $20 margin on MSRP. After distribution and retailer's cut on a $400-$500 product, that's obviously not profitable for Sony/MS.

>>15745336

>You know why shit like BOTW and GTAV/RDR2 run at sub 30FPS?

Because they don't include potatovision settings to prioritize true 4k60 with FSAA and minimal latency, rather than upscaled "cinematic" 24fps bullshots with 5 frames of input lag. I think that's changing, though, as some console games actually do have basic visual options now.

>>15745377

I've never found a source that positively states the bleeding-edge hardware in the NES/SNES/N64 broke even at $250 on launch, rather than making vague, nonspecific claims.

Oop, $200.

>>15745336

>You know why shit like BOTW and GTAV/RDR2 run at sub 30FPS?

I don't really care about these running at 30fps.

>It's because the hardware they run on is fucking shit

having faster hardware won't magically make developers target 60fps. They'll still target 30 as that's what's considered the minimum of playable and they'll just look prettier.

>>15745381

>Point was prior gens used discrete graphics

Discrete graphics doesn't mean good graphics. They're on the same die because that's what AMDs fusion/apu technology was focusing on.

>>15745364

The thing is I've always liked the setting since I played my first Dynasty Warriors game forever ago. I would normally be excited for this, but they retroactively delivered the poz in Rome 2. I'm boycotting all their shit until they go bankrupt or 1488, whichever happens first.

>>15745364

these might actually target 60fps. EDF actually does target 60fps, but they've never made a game that didn't have drops.

>>15745463

Yes? 8th-gen consoles have gone through several price drops and hardware revisions, so obviously all of these numbers are going to be different now.

>>15745489

>Each PS4 likely didn't even reach 200 dollars to produce in 2013

<what we've actually got is at $399 retail Sony is collecting $320 from the retailer. And with a build cost at $381 at least my version of math puts that at a $61 loss per box.

>>15745479

Please stop reposting that pasta. If you actually read the document you're screencapping, you'll notice NONE OF THOSE LIMITS APPLY TO FULL CLOCK DURING GAMEPLAY, as they're intended to force consoles to downclock and shut down cores during video playback, menu navigation, when a game is left paused for too long, or in "standby" update/botnet mode. You know, like any PC has done since the late 90s?

>>15745505

>And you would have other smaller devs popping up actually using that processing power.

plenty of smaller games do run at 60fps and probably barely utilize 20% of the systems resources. Shit, Sonic Mania's install size is probably loaded into the RAM entirely.

>It was shit in 2013 one year after it's release and it's shit now

>7850

>shit

nah, was an excellent card at the time and having something with that power in consoles is objectively a good thing. GPU isn't really a problem, it's CPU.

>EDF

yeah it wouldn't be an EDF game without frame rate drops. Was your first one the PC port of 4.1?

>>15745506

>Yes? 8th-gen consoles have gone through several price drops and hardware revisions

Almost like they'll be even cheaper to produce today than they were at the time. Do you seriously think they make a killing off of royalties and that they're sold at a lost from beginning to the end of the generation?

>>15745521

don't you know how much sony goes into debt from selling those cards? It costs them like $0.08 to produce each single one. That's a lot of plastic that they just waste. Not to mention running the code generator on their interns laptops.

>>15745414

>having faster hardware won't magically make developers target 60fps. They'll still target 30 as that's what's considered the minimum of playable and they'll just look prettier.

Absolutely this, it's not even new. Think of the difference on N64 between Zelda (20FPS capped, 17 on PAL/SECAM, with frequent drops to single-digits) which was a beautiful game, and F-Zero X (60FPS rock solid) which looked like a potato.

>>15745519

>Do you seriously think they make a killing off of royalties and that they're sold at a lost from beginning to the end of the generation?

Yes. Obviously cheaper production and hardware revisions give them headroom, but that's usually sunken into pricecuts to lure in more suckers for royalties rather than profits for consoles sales.

>>15745521

>Source?

Link I quoted in that very post: >>15745455

>And even if that's the case the average subhuman will still buy a 60 dollar PSN card with it

Along with some overpriced games packed with royalties, yes. That's indeed how the "razor and blades" business model is intended to function.

>>15745582

>I'm talking about processing power so devs can actually invest in some some neat gameplay or tech improvements that might impact performance

I know, and I'm laughing at the idea of it because it's absurdly wrong.

>>15745564

>which looked like a potato.

reminder the saturn had better looking 60fps 3D games than the N64

>Yes

those royalties have shrunk to miniscule numbers that won't even fund a fraction of the division responsible for cleaning the fans on the servers that process log-ins for a month. The meme that consoles cost millions to develop for was never true, and the royalty meme is no longer relevant in this era as competition pushed the prices down significantly.

>Because the games have a huge fucking scope you idiot.

>>15745625

not really. There really isn't anything holding game design back in terms of hardware. I'd say this was a problem solved as far back as the 6th gen.

>>15745651

>Yes it does, at least on the CPU side as of now

not really. Tone down the visuals, get higher framerates.

>why do you think NuDoom only gets 12 enemies at a time on screen?

probably because it's difficult to keep track of any more and because only the worst levels in the original dooms put you against any more than that at once. Unless you're gonna defend Suburbs.

Didn't mean to sage

I'd like to propose a theory. Imagine knowing your cattle so well that you can degrade their food stocks and the property they dwell on and know that you will retain 95 percent of them. So you bring in these ideological borderline retarded ranchers to run your property knowing full well they will lower the quality and brand and the stock value of your property while you buy and sell your stocks in coordination of their forthcoming antics. Sometimes you bet against it, sometimes you bet for it on the upcoming good news. If the stock goes really low and the cattle are starting to wonder if building their own property would be a better move, you bring out a new and better looking property for the cattle to move to and repeat the cycle.

Interesting stuff about upfront devkit hardware prices dropping or vanishing, but nothing about actual royalty rates. It even alludes to some cert fees, of which countless more obviously exist, as in the world of iOS/Android, but doesn't say how big or numerous they are.

Probably will have middling sales at best, normalfags got their fix of that stuff from Nioh and For Honor. They're too late to the party.

>Death Stranding

In a best case scenario that's going to a be a Mighty No 9 level trainwreck. It's more likely going to be vaporware.

>Days Gone

Stuck in development hell for several years, if it ever comes out no one is going to care. It's also hoping people still have a boner for zombies and bikers, television fads that got old for normalfags years ago. Once again, too late to the party.

>>15744912

I don't think anyone is trying to claim the Japanese market and western weebs are Sony's main money maker, it's a matter of diversification. Sony is foregoing a small but stable consumer base for a larger consumer base with higher risk/reward. Even worse is the only reason to toss aside that market was to virtue signal to SJW faggots, as if that's somehow going to do any favors for their bottom line. Someone at SIE legitimately thinks a dope smoking normalfag that wants to buy RDR2 is somehow going to hold back on his purchase because this dopehead is morally offended by the sexualization of cartoon women.

It makes no fucking sense unless you're up the ass of twitter and resetera 24/7 and lost touch with reality.

Everytime someone explains why skeletons are illegal in China, they always give a different explanation. I've also heard it was because of how much they want everyone to be non-religious, so they don't want people to see occultic things like walking skeletons. Or that death and skulls is some kind of terrible bad luck taboo. I have also heard that there are some games in China with a few skulls in them, and the rule is mostly kept just to delay releases of American games so their Chinese copies can have more success. You really can't be certain until you hear it straight from the Chinese government.

The Chinese have been barred from any culture or religion other than the government itself. For grorious China and all that shit.

Consider that also in China, they have like zero health and safety or environmental regulations, that costs money and cuts back efficiency and to them, a worker is simply a replaceable unit.

Consider also that the law in China is in such a way that if you try and help someone in a life threatening situation and they die, you are entirely responsible for their death. Even branded as a murder…

In the West, people are generally protected as a good samaritan if they try to assist someone but fuck it up out of honest mistake.

Why is this important to note? It means no one really looks out for eachother, people are simply bugs, drones for the nest. That is how they operate. They are always inclined to cut ethical corners if it saves them money and simply walk past a dying person on the street because getting involve could mean a prison sentence.

Now get this… China has a huge market for vidya. Tons of Chinese people are addicted to internet cafes and will invest hundreds if not thousands of chinkbucks in MMOs and any multiplayer game with cosmetics. In Asian countries they have this thing about boasting. It's a big part of their "culture". If you can brag about how well off and successful you are that means you're better than someone else. This is why Asians are such tryhards at vidya. They never play to have fun, they play to git gud… ALWAYS.

China takes it to a new level. People invest all their spare time in vidya to forget about their miserable lives. But unlike the basement dwellers of America, China bans spooky skeletons purely as a carpet ban on anything remotely religious or occult. Don't want the peasents starting a religious uprising against the government and installing a church state or some shit right? A totally reasonable excuse for them to have the ban in the first place and if game companies from The West don't follow this in their games and censor shit even for Westerners then they're just racist lol :^)

>>15741020

considering how much tencent is investing into, and is even taking over medical. You think tencent owning nintendo will be when shit hits the fan, wait until they attempt to buy disney and coca cola.

>>15748255

You forget over time that the games that get the skeletons censored eventually just get banned outright, meanwhile a cheap knock-off carbon copy with "original content" is added in and is treated "as their own game". The only reason why they allow the original games in the first place is to get their hands on them, learn the coding and mechanics, and then strip everything down so they can make their own version and sell it as their own.

What would Nintendo get out of PlayStation hardware today that they wouldn't get from making their own console a few years down the line? What would Nintendo get out of PlayStation that cannot be done with a hybrid in a few decades, including VR? Tech-wise Nintendo would be buying up a brand with outdated expensive console hardware, even with PS5 on the horizon. And if you're thinking they will come packaged with Sony IPs then think again. CD-i proved that you should never let any partner handle your IPs without oversight. Sony will still own the intellectual properties of all the software titles that they have, including publishing rights of PlayStation third party titles on older systems. Unless Nintendo forks more money to buy those. Even then third parties will find it cheaper to make PC/mobile ports of those titles first and port it to Switch next because of the nVidia Tegra chip.

PlayStation when it was released was a revolutionary tech with the CD-ROM based system that actually worked and a proper 3D processor. For PlayStation 2 it was DVD format. PS3, Blue-Ray and cell processor at the expense of a decent GPU. Hardware wise the PS4 is really no different than a PC with a blue ray drive, USB, and HDMI port, but with a wall garden OS and paywalled online services. PlayStation VR is a peripheral that if it could be implemented into a PC ecosystem the same way Facebook raped Occulus as a walled garden.

I am not citing these reasons to console war. I'm citing these reasons to ask why would Nintendo bother with their current blue ocean strategy to buy the PlayStation brand? Hardware wise even the Nintendo Switch is a standard PC now, but built as a tablet with the Tegra as CPU and GPU. The only thing Switch has that sets it apart from a mobile platform is the operating system, the Joycon slots to snap Joycons in place, and the dock which with the help of an AC adapter converts the Switch's USB-C slot into HDMI out. If Nintendo balls to allow software for it then you can plug in a USB flight stick , a peripheral exclusive to PC games, into the Switch's dock or USB-C to USB hub.

Remember when they said they'd merge the PlayStation division with Sony Pictures but received massive backlash both internally and externally about it?

They're doing it anyway.

>>15751448

Sony Pictures isn't even really Sony. It's a 100% (((Hollywood))) studio, originally called "Columbia Pictures".

Sony isn't looking to sell PS, it's looking to sell SCE which is their biggest game dev division.

Sony makes almost 100% of their money off hardware and this includes PS. What they're trying to do is get rid of shit they don't think is needed, they figure that if a different company develops software for sony hardware(and maintains their name) they'll make the same amount of money at less cost.

>t. economicsfag

also tencent will buy it.

They're also banking on the fact that the new Kojima game will basically kill SCE forever.

They gave the last big chunk of their software cash to him, and he basically spent it taking mushrooms with a bunch of dutch hippies.

1. He doesn't even understand what an array is. A fucking array.

2: The nested conditional statements should be combined into a statement that reflects the intent, such as .NoticedArmed(), and the duplicated incrementations of alarm should be combined into one statement. The game logic should be separated from game functionality such as physics raycasting.

3. if (this.Witnessed is in game.GameOverCauses.keys) { game.causeGameOver( game.GameOverCauses[this.Witnessed] ); }

4: Deeply coupled functionality and logic. Pathfinding code shouldn't deactivate a phone addict character's smartphone, or have awareness of indoors and outdoors.

What's not shown here is that most of this code is thrown into one big update function that gets larger and larger the more functionality gets added. The complexity should be segregated into separate, less deeply coupled systems that only deal with the parts of the game they need to be aware of. This would also allow tasks to be scheduled to be performed less or more frequently or in parallel, just as a game in the CURRENT YEAR should.

>>15751419

Yep, that’s always a bad sign. The annoying thing about this is Soyny won’t be hurt by this at all because the majority of their player base now is AAA only playing normalfags who hate lewd unless two ugly dyke lesbians. And because the PS4 isn’t doing well in Japan all the Japanese game devs will go over to Switch and PC. As will I because it’s mostly Japanese games I play.

>>15751599

>into one big update function

>his garbage code like "xxx" == "yyy" is run x times a sec

wtf? He should be shot for that alone.

>>15752951

Plus Stan Lee dead. So Sony now no longer has to worry about PR from him. They can shit all over Spiderman as much as they want to.

It's a good thing in the sense that Sony has become a cancerous piece of shit.

It's a bad thing in the sense that we are losing one more competitor, the market is now itching closer to monopoly, it seems PC/Steam is gonna take that cake, then bye bye game sales, bye bye freedom. It's all downhill from there.

>>15743738

>I think they're banking it all on the West.

Pretty much this. The "Western markets matter" Kool-Aid is a problem for the industry as a whole, but Sony drunk especially deep from that well, hence why they have been trying to kill the Vita for so long.

>>15755301

You say because they are still in competition now.

When they destroy everything and become the SOLE distributor of game, that's when tyranny comes in.

At this moment, we must prop up GOG the best we can, ALWAYS, ALWAYS buy GOG games if there's an alternative.

>>15751419

That explains the bias against Japanese games. Roasties are scared shitless of anime.

>>15755307

valve has already had a virtual monopoly and nothing happened. i'm not going to give slavniggers money either. realistically what's going to happen is every big developer is going to start making their own clients which they are already doing

>>15755334

anime today is inherently feminine you delusional soygoy

>>15755358

>nothing happened

>nothing happend

Kike detected.

Miss me with all that Denuvo, DRM and online activation.

> i'm not going to give slavniggers money either.

You should, for they actually deserve it.

>>15755358

>anime today is inherently feminine you delusional soygoy

Maybe in your dream, kike.

>>15755307

All PC game stores are competing with piracy, and always will be. Steam's got problems but it can never go as full retard as consoles because of this.

>>15755435

GOG is the reason why piracy is fucking easy, which IS why their business model need to be encouraged.

>>15755417

Notice how this faggot has no argument but insults.

Kikes fear the anime.

>>15755410

Not with Denuvo and online activation, no, that's the kike wet dream.

>>15751157

>>15751165

Just in-case y'all don't know corporate speak. San-Fran agile means they kinda wing the project. Tokyo Waterfall is in reference to planning everything out properly before proceeding with a project.

>>15755498

>San Fran agile

>encouraging people to rush their projects at the last minute

This is why crunch is more infamous/prevalent in the West.

>>15755671

pretty sure Riot games pozzed themselves. Considering how hands off Tencent has been to all the subsidiaries they've obtained, i'm sure they're just interested in raking in cash.

>>15755980

>that's not really a bad thing.

<disposable, overheating battery-powered (can't play directly off AC) ultrathin brick with shit heat dissipation (unlike portable console built for games), and (((protected apps))) that require ass-raping DRM (e.g. SafetyNet, Samshit Knox) that doesn't even let you root your phone to uninstall performance-raping, battery-raping, data-raping, spying bloatware

<not bad

pick one

>>15755478

>that's the kike wet dream

No, the actual kike wet dream is streaming an image of the game you're allegedly playing. Or alternatively, single-player games with an MMORPG-like client-service model in which processing is done server-side and your computer is relegated to running a thinclient that just renders the game.

>THQ Nordic buys Cuck of war

Please, I beg you.

No Sony at E3? So… it will just be Microsoft?

>>15757500

Microsoft, Ubisoft, Squre, whoever the fuck else. If you watch it for the spectacle like most folks here, there's less reason to tune in for 2019. Microsoft usually bores me to tears and GIRL WOOD got old quick.

>>15757506

microsoft is probably gonna do a nuclear tier strike against sony since they have the advantage now. They've been gathering up any devs they can afford and IF THEY WERE SMART would get all these devs working on new IPs to showcase at next e3. IF THEY WERE -REALLY- SMART they might already have a new xbox in the works and take this opportunity to make a simple and affordable box that plays games without extra bells and whistles to rake in those people who are skeptical of xbox products.

>>15757541

PC gaming is defenetely the mc donaldcucks of gaming you have everything from fedora edgelord elitists on one side to crybabies gamer kids on the other side

when someone tells me they play pc games i just remove them from contacts because i already know it's a shitty person with issue

>>15757522

I wish there is no point to having a console now, when they have all the cons of a pc but none of the advantages plus paying twice for online.

>>15757548

First, you type like a nigger and your shit's all retarded.

Second, kill yourself for having such a shit-tier opinion.

>>15757548

That pic is of a buffet anon. Don't get so fanny flustered.

Send it back to the chef, this shits fucking trash.

>>15757548

The only acceptable gaming platform is that which allows the user to install whatever he wants and tinker with it as much as he desires, that is, the exact opposite walled-garden device.

So no consoles fall under that category (at least that I've heard of) and no PCs like those of Apple, or any that may put restrictions to the end user.

These are truly dark times.

>>15757522

>a new xbox

weren't they planning on merging xbox with their pc gaming? as in xboxes will just be for all purposes a prebuilt and Microsoft is going to set up their own walled garden of games that xbox and pc will share via a vidya steaming service?

>>15757831

they'll have to make a new console eventually even as they increase the merge

>>15757611

>gaming is about freedom

Its about games, go back to tuxkart freetard

>>15758125

nice strawman argument

And yet cucks will still buy soystations en masse. The PS brand is a piece of shit that's responsible for all the malpractices in the industry today. We would have been better off without it

>>15741002

ubishit reversed those changes when the entire community aside from bugmen flipped out about them

>>15757588

You don't have to, Hitler. Yakuza games get released on PC now.

>But DRM

Sega's not a perfect company.

>>15766559

>I think Tecent had a hand on the Venom movie, those chinks are buying everything.

Reminds me of how everyone was freaked the fuck out about the Japanese buying up everything in the 80's, and then their economy tanked and we bought back all the shit we sold them for pennies on the dollar. Considering how tenuous the Insectoid economy is, could we be seeing history rhyming?

>>15766559

Why does all Soviet propaganda have some buff Aryan dude on it? I thought they were trying not to be Nazis on it.

>>15767785

Because deep down all commies just want a white man's cummies. It's why they're so mad at white men specifically.

>>15767785

Parafascist co-option. When a rival totalitarianism (IE, fascism) appears with the capability to liberate your oppressed proletarian subjects or at least replace your own suzerainty over them with theirs, if you can't beat 'em by being hyperinternationalist Jewbag shits murdering and repressing the entire native population under your thousand-percentile ethnically overrrepresented vanguard party, ape 'em by putting on faux nationalist/fascist aesthetics evolved out of Soviet realism and pretending you're acting for ZA RODINU or equivalent stolen national archetype, point at the 'enemy' & stockholm the shit out of the now pathologically insane, raping, murdering prole soldiery that is now releasing their pent-up rage at the lot you have imposed on them against would be liberators, laughing while they die in droves and you continue being the same filthy gommie oligarches torturing them into the dirt, just more softly/selectively than you were before while giving them some venting room.

Considering mainstream Russian schizo-nationalists/Duginists have this awful habit of extolling the virtues of Stalin and the Tsars in the same breath while despising anyone with actual ideological teeth and that you have alleged Strasserists/social nationalists pointing hand-in-hand with the tankies at Nork propaganda and the lack of obvious puppet strings in the form of a Rothschild central bank as evidence they're totally fascist & based rather than a Marxist oligarchy that had undergone so many layers of co-option that it created a god-king mythology to sustain itself off the backwards population, and the eternally obnoxious 'socialist russia stronk' communist memeshit that has gone on from the Cold War propaganda war to pop culture today, this strategy has worked reasonably well for the time being.
