Play games as in "gameplay is overrated David Cage" tier or play games as in "games are for children" tier?

>>16110694

>Making fewer big games that will probably fail because in try to reach a broader audience since it's the only way to recover the high cost of the game

>Not just making smaller games that would have good responses with their respective niches

Not retarded at all, no sir.

I predict that this strategy will last until they have their first big flop, after which they'll announce a change to the strategy.

>>16110749

Hopefully by then it will be too late.

>>16110749

Death stranding, The last of us 2, nuGod of war 2. Any one of those failing can deliver the killing blow. Sony should play it safe and unleash Ape Escape 4.

>>16110769

Because gaming went mainstream.

>Sony will shit fewer turds, bigger turds from now on

FTFY

>>16110782

Yes and?

>>16110770

I could see Sony shuttering their first party dev divisions, but they'll keep the hardware going for as long as it makes the money. Lord knows no other division in the company does.

>>16110769

>And yet it is still the number 1 selling console each generation

<PSP was behind the DS the entire time and never caught up

<PS3 lagged behind the 360 the entire generation (Until the end), not to mention the Wii

<Vita never had a prayer

<The Switch already already outsold the PS4 in Japan

>>16110775

A man can dream.

aPe eScape 4 on PS4

>>16110793

Is not like you can't sell less when there are more people still buying it, on the other hand PS4 is not exactly selling well in Japan when in the past it was their strongest market.

Makes sense for the marvel of gaming Sony wants to be. Release 2 or so big AAA titles only and watch the normalfags trip over each other to grap the crap. But this means the end of making more niche titles like SOCOM RIP or Gravity Rush also RIP, which Sony was ditching anyway to make movie games. So they can go fuck themselves and I'll be waiting for them to end up like the Xbone.

>>16110694

Kill Sony Japan, make the relationship and cross-promotion of Sony Pictures and Sony Gaming more tangible, and finally announce the PS5 and show us all the San Franshitco-approved games.

>>16110802

>Gravity Rush also RIP

Thank could you imagine what nuSony would do to Kat?

>>16110826

Make her fat.

>>16110694

And Soyny will fail completely.

Wait for the salt. It will be hilarious.

>>16110793

And that makes it shit.

>>16110829

She’s a “woman of colour” they would would do way more than that.

>>16110826

Make her a generic western superhero with the added commentary on whatever political event is happening at the moment?

>>16110831

Give her an afro because blond hair is evil.

All shit posting and autism aside, its a good move. God of War and Spider Man sold really fucking well with respects to their other projects. This is about pleasing investors at the end of the day and an approach that comes off as a better investiture of capital helps them out. My bet is that they will sign exclusivity deals to publish smaller devs games that can hit those specialized niches. It costs them far less to do that and they can make more money in the long run than having smaller, in house dev studios that release financial dud after financial dud.

Again, that is my thought. They could go full retard and just do big games. Last of Brap 2 will probably underperform which leaves Death Stranding which is just pure Kojima autism at this point. If they want to purely put all of their eggs in those baskets then it is their funeral.

>>16110842

I would love a game where you play as a (actually) sexy black lady in lewd outfits cleaning up the ghetto. Her having a white (non-Jewish) husband would be the best icing on the cake.

>>16110857

>sign exclusivity deals to publish smaller devs games that can hit those specialized niches

They seemed like they were working with indies and their Japanese studios at the beginning of the PS4 gen like with those indie showcases, GR2, and Bloodborne obviously.

That shit fucking died off fast once all their big western games started taking off.

I have no faith, anon.

>>16110857

It's only a good move insofar as the "Cinematic Game" meme holds true. It doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon, sure, and I wouldn't hold out much hope for normalfag tastes to improve much - but game design is often like fashion trends. It constantly changes, and you never know what's going to be in fashion next - or if has been abandoned will come back into fashion. They've been pushing the "cinematic game" since the end of the PS3's lifecycle, and I have a feeling it's starting to get to the point of oversaturation - which will lead the market to look for novelty elsewhere. Doubling down could just be slitting their own throats.

>>16110857

Those games sold well this year because this hear was pathetic they had no competition. Spider-Man probably would have sold regardless though because it’s one of the biggest brands in the world.

>>16110880

Yet all of those games have wildly different gameplay to accompany their cinematics, whereas modern Sony cinematic games seem to be consolidating their gameplay into a prefab template… usually with a gimmick to set it apart, but overall structure being virtually identical.

>>16110875

In your opinion. There was still Red Dead, Cod Blops 4, Fifa, NBA 2k, Monster Hunter World, etc when it comes to sales. There were still shit tons on niche titles that showed up across multiple platforms.

You are not seeing the forest from the trees here. GoW and SM were really fucking good sellers in a year of generic sequels, multiplayer shooters, and games that shove recurrent monetization down your throat. There were single player games and they showed they could sell and make money in today's economy. That is a big fucking deal and that is the point that I am making. If they are smart, they will prioritize the big single player games and still invest in publishing small niche works of indie studios. If they can show that behavior is financially viable, gaming will benefit as a whole. If they put their eggs all in one basket with the big releases, they are shooting themselves in the foot potentially (if the games bomb) and it can be a net negative for the industry as we see it.

My point is that this could be the best decision the company could make at this moment. All we can do is sit back and see how this plays out.

>>16110694

Oh, so instead of 3 decent games a generation, they're gonna just do 1 now?

>>16110947

He looks like a fat pedophille version of Gordon Ramsey

>>16110947

I can't believe Gordon Ramsay runs Sony now

>>16110955

>>16110966

"It tastes like– GUMBO! – !"

**Sorry, for some reason I always imagine Ramsay with some kind of Tourette's verbal tic saying "gumbo" at random.

I really hate how much Nintendo and Microsoft dropped the ball this gen. Xbone and Wii U had the worst marketing I've ever seen which allowed Sony to just dominate and spew soy everywhere as a result.

>>16110974

Is this loss?

>>16110694

So instead of smaller, cheaper, unique, interesting games that could appeal to a variety of people, they're doubling down on even more bland, AAA, cash-burning sludge that has already fucking ruined the industry.

Indies could have been the one to fill that gap, but they blew it by being faggots.

>>16111035

Yeah it's funny that Sony's response to "Big budget games never make back the money that was spent on them." Is "Just make even bigger more expensive games that we release more infrequently so that there is absolutely no possible way to make money on them."

>>16111041

Their logic is probably based on the assumption that their audience are mindless zombies that will buy what ever they put out and they only reason their latest projects failed is they put out too many game too close together for the zombies to buy all of them.

>>16110857

And it falls for the same issue that Hollywood is falling for. As soon as those big games start failing they have no back up because they are putting all their eggs into fewer baskets.

>>16111053

The same reaction Disney had to Solo flopping after the shit show that was the Last Jedi?

>>16111055

Yes because the reason big budget games never make back the money spent making them is because they spend so much money on the damn things that everyone who owns the console would have to buy the game three times just for it to make it's budget back. It's why companies will sell seven million copies of a game and still declare it a flop.

>>16111077

>seems like they want to run the games sector like they run the movies sector

So, Sony wants to declare for bankruptcy within the next 5 years? Because, far as I can figure, their gaming division was the only part of the company that wasn't bleeding money all the time.

>>16111077

>seems like they want to run the games sector like they run the movies sector of Sony

So they want to lose money faster? Christ the games division of Sony was the only part of the company making money they should run the rest of the company like the games division not the other way around.

>>16111081

>>16111082

You wouldn't believe the ego some of these idiots "in charge" have.

>decry it as (((buzzword)))

>>16111073

Try to send that message to the head of sony.

>>16111083

I've read through a few of the leaked e-mails of their movie division. It's shocking just how stupid and egocentric all these executives are. Most also seem incapable of typing in proper English, or using a spellcheck.

>>16110871

La Goblina Croft

>>16111096

>not a single archive

isn't that only a thing for the GG thread? also I thought the archive.is guy baned 8chan.

>>16111077

Venom was ok. It's better than all of the shit that Sony has been putting out lately and it probably could have worked back during the Spiderman run in the 2000s. The final villain was just really lame. Pajeets just aren't threatening. The symbiotes outside of Venom and his lineage really should have been more normal. Venom is an outlier after the hive mind went away.

>>16111107

The gaming division is super pozzed now too. It really should be allowed to die at this point.

>>16111110

>isn't that only a thing for the GG thread?

No, providing a source is always required.

>also I thought the archive.is guy baned 8chan.

Then you are very much mistaken.

>>16111102

They won't listen since they seem to learn this lesson almost every year.

>>16111107

>Sony actually owns financial and insurance companies.

Well, that explains it. That was the infection vector the Jews used to thoroughly pozz the company.

>>16111115

>Venom was ok.

It was complete and utter shit as a movie. If you mean it wasn't a preachy leftist movie, then yeah, it's a lot better than most stuff they've made over the past few years.

>The gaming division is super pozzed now too

Which is a surprising turn of events considering just how many fuckups their California based movie division has had over the past few years, and all because of agenda pushing leftists in positions of power.

>>16110769

Fools and money are soon parted.

Kill Soyny's games division and bring out a handheld hybrid from Sega to rekindle the Nintendo vs Sega console war.

>>16111153

>Amy Pascal

That filthy kike rat is the stupid cunt that pushed through Cuntbusters. The fact her ass didn't get fired after that massive blunder just goes to show how thoroughly compromised the whole of Sony is.

>she wants to shoehorn in Silk

I don't mind Silk per-se (at least she's not fucking Miles), but I know they'll choose the ugliest Asian ladyboy they can find and go turbo-feminism on the plot.

>and use Venom 2 as the launch point for her own inter-sectional feminist spider movie series.

God help us if they decide to make a movie based off Spider-Woman and how she fights crime while 9-months pregnant, like in the comics.

>>16111153

Wasn't Pascal fired from her position? I mean they're making a ghosbusters sequel with the son of Ivan Reitman, no fucking way she would have allowed it if she had any meaningful power left.

>>16111183

>I'm surprised by that one. I figured silk would be too obscure

It's only because she's a woman and because everyone is getting pissed at them for making Thor and Captain Marvel women that they don't just rule 63 another super hero.

>>16111179

She was fired/stepped down as a chairwoman of Sony in 2015, then she made her own production company with Sony and now puts out garbage.

>>16111179

>>16111207

>Wasn't Pascal fired from her position? I mean they're making a ghosbusters sequel with the son of Ivan Reitman, no fucking way she would have allowed it if she had any meaningful power left.

she's no longer the head of sony pictures, but she still has major pull over at Sony. she has her own production company, "Pascal Pictures" that Sony uses to produce major film projects (Ghostbusters (2016), Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Venom (2018), The Girl in the Spider's Web (2018), Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) Pascal Pictures made a winning bid for a memoir by Zoë Quinn about "Gamergate" called Crash Override: How to Save the Internet from Itself. She also has an obsession with forced feminist politics and trying to get miles morales laid. She excitedly exclaimed that 14 year old Gwen Stacy will be the love interest of miles morales and that romantic relationship will be the focus of into the spider verse 2, after that “Spider” Gwen will be the lead in her own movie. (barf)

>>16111208

technically spider doesn't wear a cape, but I agree and wish the super hero fad would die out already (about 20 years of comic book movies so far with no end in sight) I wish I could go the mirror universe where video game movies took over instead of comics, just how to see how fucked up it could be.

>>16111208

Because countries like China and India make capeshit profitable, big movies like Avengers always make their most money in the foreign market.

>>16111161

Soyny Pictures was never part of Sony in the first place. It was originally called Columbia Pictures, and is 100% a Jew run, Jew founded Hollywood studio. Sony Japan bought it out and changed the name to Sony Pictures in the 80s, but they basically left the studio alone and kept letting the Jews do business as usual.

>>16111231

>all those Spidey movies

I see they want to run the IP into the ground before they throw it back at Disney.

>She excitedly exclaimed that 14 year old Gwen Stacy will be the love interest of miles morales and that romantic relationship

To be fair, that's already a thing in the comics. Marvel has spent the past 15 years cucking Peter in every way imaginable for being white, male and popular.

>from now on

Haven't they done it already since birth of ps4? I guess its better to have 2 good games than 30 shit ones. And for the record i dont give a fuck about sony because consoles suck dick

>>16111240

Except chinks don't take well to Marxist propaganda, ironically enough. They don't like feminism, they don't like ugly women and they especially don't like niggers.

I have no idea how Hollywood plans to have movies that are both pozzed and pandering to the Chinese market.

>>16111258

>I guess its better to have 2 good games than 30 shit ones

Except the two Sony makes will be even more shit than the 30 they did before.

>>16111262

They like pro-China stuff. It is also a matter of time before they decide to cut off Hollywood and do their own thing again.

>>16111161

>the stupid cunt that pushed through Cuntbusters

That trainwreck was fucking hilarious to watch mate. I would almost thank her fo fucking up so hard.

>she fights crime while 9-months pregnant, like in the comics

wot

>>16111183

>Isn't it interesting that the PS2, while having the worst specs of every 6th generation console, was and still is the most sold console ever?

No, that's about normal. What it really comes down to is price point and game library. Usually the victor, or at least leader, in any given generation is the weaker and cheaper hardware that is easiest to develop for and has the best third party relations. Console power has very little to do with aside from fanboy gotchas in console war threads.

The NES beat the SMS, the Genesis lead the SNES for most of it's life, the PSX (arguably weaker than the Saturn) took out Nintendo and Sega, the PS2 wasn't more powerful than the Dreamcast - but Sega dropped out - making PS2 the weakest hardware. The Wii beat out both the 360 and PS3, but Nintendo also stopped directly competing - and out of PS3 and Xbox 360 - the 360 lead in sales for most of it's life. The handheld market is a similar story - with Nintendo's weaker hardware pretty much dominating every single generation - and even among VR, it's the PSVR that has had any sort of appreciable blip on the sales radar at all… but it's still roundly getting it's shit pushed in by those shitty cell-phone VR scams.

Raw power is important, but it's not nearly as important as people like to make it out to be.

>>16111269

> the PS2 wasn't more powerful than the Dreamcast

Was more powerful, I mean

>>16111269

Another good example is the first Gameboy. Nintendo deliberately chose to use a monochrome display to bring down the price and prolong battery life, and only introduced a color screen when the technology was mature enough.

Despite Gameboy contemporaries having much more potent hardware and a color display they still lost because the Gamebody was both cheaper to buy and use, but also had a much bigger library of games.

The PS2 also had the advantage of being a DVD player as well, and actually one that was cheaper than most DVD players on the market were at that point.

Also, another important factor is the "killer app" to a lesser degree. The Gameboy wouldn't have been as big of a success (but still a huge one) without the arrival of Pokemon. The PS2 also had plenty of exclusives, likely more than any other console of the generation.

>>16110936

The genesis only beat the SNES in America, it got crushed everywhere else, and Japan was a much bigger slice of the market back then.

>>16111231

>She also has an obsession with forced feminist politics and trying to get miles morales laid

That's because she's jewish.

>>16110875

Spiderman has never been a Triple A title before, it's always been a B+ title with reasonable sales based on the name alone.

>>16111262

China get their own edits. You will often notice a Chinese idol in the background of movies like Kong. They shoot 5-10 minutes of exclusive scenes with them and a few alt scenes and run with it.

Ironman 2 or 3 was the first major movie to do this.

>>16111291

Either you're an actual cuck or mentally retarded. The Chinese fucking despise Africans.

Also Marx is not "worshipped". He's viewed in the same way Abraham Lincoln is viewed in the States.

This business model has been taking over the industry any way. Instead of releasing Street fighter 4 you release Street fighter 5 and then support it for a few years with multiple season passes. Destiny 2 was designed around this model, so have The Sims and most fighting games now. You sell 1 core product and then sell season passes and DLC.

>>16111274

>The PS2 also had plenty of exclusives

Basically the opposite of what they are aiming for now. They're just shitting on all the third-party devs who normally focus on their systems, forcing them to flee to less restrictive platforms.

isn't that whay they are alrready doing now?

i can count the PS4 exclusives with one hand and i'll still have fingers to spare

also i think they are mistaking the word "bigger" with the word "bloated"

>>16111110

Only /hebe/ and /loli/ was banned from archive.is because of CP iirc. The whole site was temporarily blocked though. That's why this over-reliance on that one site is worrying.

Good, maybe they'll finally kill themselves by releasing only 15 games for the PS4 in a single year and we'll see a PC gaming renaissance where developers actually dedicate their time to better things. Fuck Soyny.

>>16111291

>they worship Karl Marx like a god in china

They still don't like Cultural Marxism. The ruling party actively suppresses foreign NGOs and persecutes feminist activists because they view Western leftists as subversive. Google "baizou", which translates to leftard (but in context means white left), a trending meme in China

>Chinese are fine mixing with blacks. they really don't care.

Back in the 70s there was a riot in Beijing concerning African exchange students. A lynch mob formed and they had to send in the army to evacuate the niggers from the dormitory. Chinks despise niggers.

>>16111338

>Ironman 2 or 3 was the first major movie to do this.

I've noticed it a few other times, most prominently in Transformers. Black Panther still did abysmally in China, to the point they pulled it from theaters after only two weeks.

>>16111359

We've lived long enough to see Nintendo of all people present a less censor-happy alternative to Sony. I remember Sony heavily emphasizing their line of consoles as the mature choice for mature gamers, in stark contrast to Nintendo's kid-friendly image.

>>16111411

>Local nigger in the west buys PC

>This is going to affect the market.

>>16111421

That's funny, because sonycucks were making the exact same response not 2 years ago. Just replace PC with PS4.

>Western Country

>>16111434

what is up with Black Panther's mask? It looks wrong

>>16110798

lol mate the PSP can play pretty much anything that came before the PS2 era, AND DS games on top of its own games.

And the Wii failed to deliver on its own hype.

>>16111447

Empire of Dust is a great documentary everyone here should watch.

>that salt flowing out of the nigger's face as the chink tells him how badly they've fucked up their country since they chased whitey out

That part was priceless.

they killed nearly all of their smaller first party studios in the PSP/PS3 era, so frankly this is completely unsurprising. they want to latch onto bigger games as a way to sell systems, but seem to lack the understanding that the issue with their company was that they gutted nearly all of their internal studios, alienated the others, and essentially refuse to bring any new studios into the mix. Remember Wipeout, one of the greatest PlayStation series ever? Their studio was killed after Wipeout 2048. Remember guys like Jaffey? They're all dead. Seriously, they overextended the lives of the franchises, caused a lot of stagnation. Ratchet and Clank is dead. Spyro is dead. Crash is dead. Katamari is dead. Their studios just focus on this cinematic bullshit that the vast majority of gamers despise. There is not a new goddamn thing on the plate, and Sony is too fucking poorly run to do anything to change this. I will be completely glad to see this company fail. I bought a PS4 on launch mind you, when the only game you had was shitty Killzone (another dead franchise).

>>16111450

PSP is the best portable emulator I've ever had. Battery lasts a life time, doesn't drain if left in sleep mode (takes about a month to lose a single bar of 3). Good collection of PS1 and emulators as well as it's own library. It's a god machine

>>16111465

>but chinks completely wiped out Asia with their genocidal millennia war mongering and massive rape and pillaging

Are you sure you're not talking about the Mongols here? Chinks weren't exactly too successful in their conquering ambitions.

>Who knows how did the indians manage to hold their counterpart's dicks and kung fu.

You can't exactly go on conquering if you're shitting your pants every other minute. Poo is the ultimate weapon of the Indians.

>>16111465

Who knows how did the indians manage to hold their counterpart's dicks and kung fu.

poo covered swords > kung fu

Only way the British managed to conquer them was through antibiotics and ranged weapons.

>>16111421

>>16111439

>tons of japanese-owned games coming on Playstation platforms during 2016-2018

>trying to act like a smartass because of an unexpected event

That doesnt mean I excuse or support the Sony international policies, but you fags sure act like the equivalent of old politicians who publicly give their input when shit finally hit the fan ("I saw that thing coming miles away!") in regard of their successors

>>16111450

PSP had ports of PS2 games too. Too bad the Vita didnt continue much on this legacy besides the entry titles

>AND DS games on top of its own games

Get a load of this cuck. He worships slant eyed yellow midgets. A people so short they've been under Jewish domination for 60 years.

>>16111501

>pajets never developed any martial doctrine

the monk who turned Shaoling Monks into warrior Monks was Bodhidharma, a Hindu Buddist monk who arrived at the temple and waited by the doors meditating for one week without food or drink until Chinks let him in

then he discovered Chinks Monks were pushovers who couldn't even stand the long hours of meditation so he developed Tong Qi Gong wiach was based on Yoga to improve the health of the monks, and later they began to train in self defence

TL;DR

All that Shaolin Kung Fu Chinks are so proud of was invented by a Pajet monk who had to wait for a week until Chink monks finally decided to show him a bare minimum of hospitality

>>16111501

>I cannot believe they got beat by dirty pajeets

It's not like chinks have a proud military tradition. They mostly fought other chinks, and when they tried fighting anyone else they tended to lose very badly.

The only reason they're not a Japanese colony is because Roosevelt, that kike loving subhuman, spent inordinate amounts of effort to ensure Japan would lose and the communists would win.

>>16111498

>waaaah ur a sonycuck because you disagree with me

Nigger I still feel betrayed by Sony since the international policies of fall October 2018, mainly because I play a shitload of imports.

That doesnt mean however you can pretend you saw that (arguably) unexpected event coming from miles away (It's not like localizations werent shit in the first place, but fucking over the japanese customers too do take some insanity).

>>16111526

okay I mean I can list some games that are worth it for a ps4.

But I don't want to defend my PS4 anymore, not after my heart has been so throughly wrecked by Kingdom Hearts 3.

>>16111527

Stop defending Sony. Just stop Anon.

>>16111519

There's EDF5 which better have a jap audio option in the eventual PC port (so I could enjoy free online), because the localization is far worse than 4.1 as it was made in-studio by D3 Publisher. The english audio from XSeeD was more on point at least (and I felt like the jap version of EDF5 took inspiration from it)

but considering there are far more problems in general with PC ports of PS4/Vita games, I'm more willing to keep my PS4 too and wait for a good hack.

>>16111527

>le scraps meme

This argument is dubious even on reddit, and you're posting it on a board that greatly values backlog and games before 2007. I hope it gives you self satisfaction, because it certainly won't give you a point.

>>16111531

>or sick of their pestilence

That's how India won against pretty much every invader before the British. They let their shit hygiene do all the work.

Why would the Nips kill off their workers ants? Hell, less chinks would have died under Japanese occupation than they did under communist rule.

>>16111537

>Physical releases and no external DRM to the machine like the PC has.

I can just as easily download a game and crack, burn them and achieve the same result. Also, the PS4 itself is a physical DRM box.

>Any argument you make for piracy can be turned back on you with console piracy also existing.

Not on the PS4, though.

>I can't even

Faggot.

>>16111533

Anyone who plays games or has a computer made after 2007 is a nigger anyway who probably likes playing ports. True PC gamers would know this but in 2019 I guess it needs reiterating.

>>16111534

Being able to take my game off of a shelf at any point and play it is a huge perk. Just look at emuparadise dying and how bad it fucked up the piracy community for a while. This is all a digital pack up can ever be, where as the disc can also sit on a shelf when I want to pick it up.

Physical releases also cannot be fucked with. I can play Dark souls as it was release on physical media any time I want. I can't play that version on PC at all. But if I download it through Steam it will give me the latest patch version only. I can't roll it back 3 patches to the patch I liked before they nerfed my favourite weapon to be useless.

>>16111542

>Easily burn a CD

Which rot. A pressed CD will last decades unlike your burned CD. And that's if your PC even has a physical disc any more.

PS4 has been cracked, it's just a matter of time until games are piratable.

>>16111541

>LAWL

He's right on that point though. Console physicals can get extremely pricey depending of the game serie. Main reason why I just emulate Nintendo systems for instance. And I've remarked schmup and horror games can be stupidly expensive regardless of the platform.

The only additional thing physical gives over digital ownership is reselling. Everything else is the same. And just to make it clear, I'm talking about digitial vs physical in general, not console vs pc or shit like that. I wish physical would be more relevent still, but I value freedom over the convenience that physical offers. So that's I argue DRM-free first. If that fight is ever won, then I would move on to pushing for physical too.

>>16111542

Console DRM makes pirating more convenient once it's cracked because of homogeneity. Also pressed dvds last far longer than burned ones do. At that point it might just be easier to maintain and mirror them digitally, or keep burned cds as a secondary back up to digital storage.

>>16111035

Pretty much

>>16111554

Point is, any argument made in favor of physical copies is moot when piracy enters the equation. Even if genuine copies last longer, they'll still rot eventually (and let's not pretend rot is that much of a concern, I have burned CDs from 15 to 20 years ago that still work fine). On the other hand, if your original disk gets damaged you have to buy a new one, and there's also the simple fact that most physical releases these days still require Day 1 patches to be playable, thus rendering the physical copy useless unless you have an internet connection, and when the servers go down you're shit out of luck.

>>16111553

While true that doesn't stop them existing. Lets say your internet goes down for a month and your pc dies at the same time. You can go out and buy another blank PC but you won't have any of your digital software, you will have your physical software. I almost exclusively use digital software these days but it's stupid to say there is no benefits to it existing.

Horror games and autism tests have been niche genres from day one. Their expensive because they have small release numbers and high demand within a cult fanbase. The people who like them really like them and will want a complete set or to try the best niche ones.

Primal rage is still incomplete digitally. No physical accurate rip has every been made of the original arcade game. They all have problems and errors from AI acting wrong to characters falling into the floor. There's other examples of this but that's a decent one.

Crash Team Racing, a PSX ripoff of Mario Kart with surprisingly fun levels and very polished.

The story is retarded, though

>>16111591

Gog release DRM free games by default. So you have all of those.

And your old games didn't lack DRM, they had physical devices you plugged into PCs, cards you had to input codes from,

>>16111576

>You don't sound very confident in your knowledge but there's always a point where game prices dip after they've been released

True, but again that honestly depends, although you can simply luck out on someone selling an used copy for rather cheap. Jap versions (region-locked or not) have also a tendency to be even cheaper since the demand is low (although that didnt stop some scalper to sell a jap PS1 copy of Biohazard 1 or Gegege no Kitaro for +200 bucks just for the heck of it).

>Make smarter purchases and don't wait for the games to be out of production for 10-15 years to get them

Easier said than done.

Nintendo games, and not just the first-party ones, have a tendency to be scalped to hell and back. I wish i could beat up my younger self for selling Gamecube games instead of keeping them.

>>16111578

I didnt really shit on console physicals, but more point out the obvious issue. I dont blame anyone relying on piracy and emulation because of it, which I'm also guilty of both

>We've lived long enough to see Nintendo of all people present a less censor-happy alternative to Sony.

Man, what the fuck happened? Things are just getting batshit crazy at this point. Like we've gotten to the point where the same company that hired Howard "Night trap will never be on a Nintendo console" Lincoln and became less draconian than the company that allowed and defended GTA on their platform.

>>16111681

All you're doing is proving that the PS4 has shit exclusives, and that most of them happen to be cinematic third-person, open-world turds.

>>16111655

CTR is a generic mario kart rip off. The only reason it's popular with the PS1 kiddies is it's their first exposure to Mario kart with a recognisable cast they like. It's not bad, it's just not special.

One of them was due to me not reading the thread properly and thinking he was derailing the thread to Chinese shit. which I agree with, but it's off topic

>>16111678

The new head of nintendo is in the best business to make money, so while you'll get more lax rules concerning censorship for now, that also means shit like Mario and the other mascots getting mobile games up the ass as well. Plus it's only a matter of time before Nintendo changes its tune just like Sony did when they believe that SJWs will be the larger audience to cater towards.

>>16111706

I'm 50/50 on it since I do believe you're right about them heavily pushing Mario and co. On mobile devices, but at the same time we've seen them release games with much less censorship than before, even if not perfect. Xenoblade 2 is an example I'd like to use in Nintendo's favor, although my eyes will be on Fire Emblem Three Houses to see if they learned a damn thing. Either way Nintendo has many issues, but I think they're smart enough not to fuck with Japanese developers unlike Sony who's entire corporation is a clusterfuck.

>>16111715

Like yeah, you have to keep in mind that a ton of these games were made before 2015 or aren't made by Sony. Additionally it shows Spider-Man which we all know is a shitty rip off of Spider-Man 2.

>>16111732

Well fuck. I have no interest in Ratchet remake. it looked interesting as a world to explore.

>>16111737

They do look pretty different in environments. It's a good answer to the generic forest picture. Some truth in both images.

Any one know the FPS? I'm checking out PS4 exclusives now. Concrete Genie looks interesting.

>>16111733

No, I just banned him. Look at the board log.

>>16111734

Well we got Gravity Rush 2, but that was probably the last "game" we got from them. Like let's be honest, those who bought a PS4 didn't only buy them for Sony games, but also 3rd party games like Persona 5, EDF, NepNep, Red Dead Redemption, etc. The main issue I have with Sony is that they're trying to get rid of these developers or have them toe the line, which to me is unacceptable. Like the benefits of consoles is that they can do things PC's can't, although that's how it used to be. Like Iwata knew this and made the Wii, WiiU, DS, 3DS and Switch different because of it. Like the people who buy soy of war will buy it anyway, but as a platform a console should always try to have as many different games as possible, while also providing unique gameplay experiences. In any case I worry about the game output on Sony's platforms, not because I want to but because that's how it is.

>>16111759

Consoles are for "just working" or really cheap second hand games you pick up on a whim too. It's fun to go into a physical shop and buy something based on the box art alone. It might be great, it might suck but you spend 5 bucks and had fun buying it. PC games just can't be bought that way.

>>16111774

>You didn't play it, you don't know it's shit!

>You didn't play enough of it, you don't know it's shit!

>Well, if you platinumed it, it must be good right?

Just gonna inb4 this right now.

>>16111773

>It's fun to go into a physical shop and buy something based on the box art alone

Nobody does that anymore. Everyone has a smartphone and can access the internet at any moment and see what a game is about.

>PC games just can't be bought that way.

Except you can go to a retro shop selling physical copies of PC games and do the exact same thing, or just buy random shit on Steam, or simply go to torrent/pirate site and download whatever title strikes your fancy.

I honestly struggle to figure out what you were trying to do with this argument.

>>16111785

I can go to Fmovies or Piratebay and download any movie I want or stream it right now. That's not the same experience as going to a blockbuster and browsing a movie to rent. It's a completely different experience. Maybe you're too young to know the difference. You can check your phone and look it up but that ruins the whole experience of buying a random game based on the box alone.

No shops sell retro PC games. There's no market for it.

>>16111801

So, your argument basically boils down to rose tinted faggot nostalgia of a rental store?

>No shops sell retro PC games

Or you could stop being a stupid nigger and google that shit and you'd find out that there actually exist stores that sell retro games (and not just PC ones).

Fuckwit.

>>16111795

Have you played the game, anon?

>>16111795

I don't need to, I've played enough of the previous games and have made an assessment based on the gameplay shown, the terrible looking Mary Jane segments, and the overall flow of combat and movement.

>B-But you haven't played it

I didn't need to play DmC: Fuck You to know that it was an inferior product. And I sure as hell don't need to play this game to see that it's a casualized Spider-Man 2.

>>16111828

Any retard could tell the game is pozzed trash that fails to live up to the relatively low standards set by Spider-Man 2.

>>16111773

Yeah, but you get my point. There are worth to consoles, but Sony is trying to get rid of the good will from both actual game developers and people like us who consume these games. Either way you can tell the move is politically motivated, which disgusts me.

>>16111842

Like anyone needs to play shit like Dragon Age: Inquisition to tell it's a terrible game.

>>16111842

>Just buy the game goyim

Now I know this is bait.

>>16111834

Gameplay footage can give away a lot about a game, don't be a retarded fanboy.

>>16111850

Especially in an established franchise. If it was a new IP or gameplay style that'd be one thing. But we don't need to spend 60 dollars on a shit game to know that it's shit.

>>16111854

>>16111850

Game needed more forced stealth sections and LGBT flags to be good tbh.

Only that would compliment the god tier Batman Arkham Asylum combat.

>>16111854

You can pretty much tell the newest Total War set in chinkland is going to be horrible garbage even before release. All the raw gameplay footage shows it suffers from the same issues as every previous TW game (dumb AI, pathfinding issues within cities/during sieges, next to no improvements to the base formula), and the fact it's getting delayed time and again just further cements the fact it's a broken, buggy piece of shit rushed out the door like everything else CA makes these days.

>>16111869

It really smells of rushed out the door shit to pander to chinks and historical fags before Total War Warhammer 3 is released.

>>16111880

>and historical fags

The fact they've yet to show the "historically accurate" (but not authentic, goy!) mode in any of the previous tells me it's just going to be some half-assed more with features and content cut. The main focus was always on the fantasy portion because it's easier to pozz that one up.

>>16111814

You can tell you have never had the experience I talk about. You're spending a couple of bucks on a gamble just to see what happens. Some times you get a gem and some times you get something awful, but that's not the fun of the hunt. It's not nostalgic glasses saying it's more fun to find something and give it a chance over researching it online before doing so. You just haven't done it because you're too young to know game shops existed before they filled them with funko pops.

>>16111835

Why would you ever pick shovelware? Look at the video attached and tell me you're not going to find something you never heard of but would want to play in that place. We used to have 3 different stores like that where I lived all with different inventories.

>>16111892

Fantasy has a lot bigger audience than historical does. Historic just isn't as interesting as some asshole demon fucking up the world.

>>16111039

Think the ps2 wasn't an anomaly as well? You look at 90% of ebay list of ps2 consoles being bundled with sports. Ps2 only grew as big as it did because of it being literaly the cheapest dvd player on the market. $100+ cheaper at minimum compared to any other dvd player at the time. Wii became the netflix machine.

>>16111905

PS4 was more the netflix machine.

It varies by market as well. The PS2 just hit the sweetspot for genres at the time. PS1 was big and PS2 just did PS1 with more power. Everything else was imploding at the time so it didn't make much sense to switch off of a sony platform. Ps3 shit it's self in design and 360 took over from the ps2. Simple easy to design for hardware that just works. Didn't hurt that it made the best FPS joypad in an era where console FPS was selling extremely well. P

>>16111892

Pretty much, I'm expecting a more polished Rome 2 tier stuff.

At least the sieges don't look like complete shit.

>Can't E3 just be the Oktoberfest of vidya?

I take this to mean that Sony's future console endeavors will rely even more on the likes of Activision, EA, Ubisoft, and other third party publishers, which means that the concept of consoles is dying. Who wants a multiplat-box that's weaker than a modern PC, but with half the library and that can't be customized or modified, and that runs on a closed operating system and on a closed marketplace?

>>16111961

E3 used to be full of executives meeting and making deals behind the scenes. They can do this digitally now and don't need to all be in the same location. It's become a marketing show and Sony doesn't need a marketing show when they have the internet to use instead.

>I regret ever buying a PS4 in the first place

Even with everything else - I still got my Gravity Rush 2, Project Diva: Future Tone, and Yakuza 6. So the generation wasn't a total wash. They're just burning any interest I might have had in PS5. I did eventually get an Xbox One S new for about $100, which is about the replacement cost of my 360 - which is pretty much exactly what the One S is used for since there's still no satisfactory emulation solution for PC - and I'm using it more than than the PS4 at this point.

I do still have to get a copy of Bullet Girls Phantasia for the PS4 - which is probably the last of the true lewd games you'll ever see on the platform, but if I buy a game, I don't like paying more than $20. And I've played Bullet Girls 2 on the Vita… that shit ain't worth full price plus import. I can't see paying more for some virtual titties than I'd be willing to pay for a lapdance.

>>16113249

Crimson Dragon is the only game that makes me interested in the xbone.

>>16113267

I heard it was shit. I think it was one of those early games which was built around the connect, and is all but unplayable except with hacked-in work arounds now. Kind of like D4, which I could barely play for longer than 10 minutes before deleting.

>>16112151

No. /pol/ was not full-on neo-nazi. They were just an obnoxious contingent. And the original reason why /pol/ dealt with nazis is because in the early stages of /pol/ they had to deal with idiots whose idea of winning a political argument is to get morally outraged at the other person, flip their shit, and compare them to nazis then act self-satisfied that they proved they're right. /pol/ got so sick and tired of those histrionic morons that nazism became a board joke, at which point the pearl-clutchers who loved acting morally superior and comparing other people to nazis got triggered before they wasted people's time with inane arguments and up and left. This made /pol/ decent for a while, but it attracted actual neo-nazis too, who thought it was a fun place for people like them. Then you had the neo-nazis from Stormfront who considered /pol/ an important vector to peddle their bullshit to others and recruit more morons. Since arguing with neo-nazis was liable to get you royally trolled by people who spotted a good opportunity to stir up reactions and then make you out to be one of those hypersensitive types, nazism wound up sort of infesting /pol/ for real.

if anything this is true. Many modern titles are often "one gamer - one game", starting with WoW. Games like LoL, WoT, Warframe, or Fortnite they suppose players play only them, the more they play the more rewarding it is and the more sinking costs tie player to title.

It is bad news for competition. When player hooked on such title he is gone for other games. Its no more 20 hours of gameplay of Doom like game of the old "what is next game". Competition for gamer is nuclear war now.

I already said, whichever ones are inconvenient for them. It's determined on an individual basis, cultural basis, and national basis. That there are over 10,000 various denominations of Christianity with major liturgical and ecclesiastical differences - large enough to cause schisms and persecutions, even wars between them.

You're not going to suggest that Mexican gangsters with the Holy Cross tattoo'd on them are following Jesus's teachings, or that the Protestant and Catholic violence in Ireland is following Jesus's vision for how brothers should treat each other. Or is this just socratric baiting that's going to end with a no-true-scotsman?

>>16113580

You can be a man's enemy, without bombing him and his family, or robbing them of everything they own.

Matt 5:39-45

But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.

But that just illustrates my point, right? People tend to look for whatever justification for their current position is and ignore the rest of the context until that is also needed in the moment to justify their actions or beliefs. And it's not like I don't blame them, don't get me wrong. That's some awfully cuckish talk right there.

Just sit back, relax, and watch PS5's launch from afar.

>>16114314

I wonder if the PlayStation 5 will even have any dedicated games at launch, I have a feeling it will mostly just be PlayStation 4 games with a "enhance" on PlayStation 5 sticker on them. I wonder if they'll even stop bothering to make games backwards compatible with the PlayStation 4 for the first year or two. The architectures will be so similar the only difference will be lower frame rates and lower resolution overall like playing a game on an older video card and having to turn some stuff off. The only real reason to put out new console seems to be better 4K compatibility and eventually 8K compatibility. But for the most part the graphics will probably just look the same.

I just love how their "winning" strategy is to double down on the nogaems meme. With the PS3 and PS4 it was the product of incompetence, with the PS5 they're deliberately reducing the number of exclusives on their platform, spitting in the face of developers and shrinking down their userbase by exclusively focusing on the soyboy cinematic faggots.

How can a company be run by people this stupid?

>>16114716

The games division is completely pozzed, but they seem to believe they have a built-in audience of soy cucks, numales, blue hairs along with billions of chinese just waiting to be fleeced with endless microtransactions and garbage loot boxes. I hope it all blows up in their faces.

>>16114748

I said for the first year or two, if what we're hearing is true and the PS5 is somehow even more of a no games machine than the PlayStation 4 was what would be even be the incentive. Not to mention they've been trying to make consoles function like Android phones and iPhones. over time the performance just degrades to the point that you have to buy a newer model.

I think we'll be lucky if the PS5 even has BC. Remember that the PS4 has had PS2 BC for 4 YEARS and only 54 games are on it (Not to mention that all these games have to be bought off PSN). Meanwhile, on the Xbone, 33 original Xbox games and 542 360 games, all of which can function if you have the original disc. Sony doesn't care about backwards compatibility, and appointing Ryan as their new president should make that very clear.

>>16114716

except when the ps5 will be a simple hardware upgrade with ps4 compatibility people will keep using it. you think suddenly people will sell their playstation, all their games, completely drop their ps+ to buy a xbox where they don't have any games for, no live and no friends to play with?

generations aren't a reset anymore, you just upgrade your console to keep using the platform you're locked into.

>>16114768

ps5 will most likely have bc with ps4, not even sony is stupid enough to release a console with only 1-2 games, there's zero incentive to upgrade otherwise.

>>16114756

Oh, they do have a built-in audience of leftist vermin, that's a given. The question is if there's enough of them to warrant alienating every other demographic.

>billions of chinese

Billions of chinks that aren't too keen on dykes, faggots, niggers and other leftist pandering shit. I still don't quite understand how Sony is planning to pander to these two diametrically opposed groups at the same time while also significantly reducing the number of first party games in their lineup.

>>16114792

But what is their strategy then? Hyperbole aside, I'm going to assume they're not completely retarded. Why are they taking a big fat shit on all their Japanese developers in favor of cucks like Naughty Dog when Nip developers were their primary strength?

Surely they don't believe one or two TLOUs are enough to make up for all the other smaller titles they are bound to lose?

>>16114794

>with ps4 compatibility

Wonderful. They can play those 5 PS4 exclusives they managed to accumulate over the years and patiently wait for Sony to deliver nothing until 4 years after launch.

>literally retarded: the post

/n/ was already full on nazi, and that's the group that would later evolve into /pol/.

So it was quite litterally there since the inception, if not its main reason.

only delusional retards with no balls could try to trick themselves into thinking otherwise because they couldn't fathom anyone having a spine.

Do nigger statistics sound like a joke to you?

And as usual, this sort of diarrhea comes from a proxy.

>>16114892

I remember moot whining like a bitch about /n/ back in the day, shutting it down and then realizing to his horror that all he had achieved was to scatter the Nazis all across the other boards, before eventually caving in and re-instituting /n/.

You're likely talking with a deluded /leftypol/ fuckwit trying to rewrite history. Next he'll tell you 4chan was always a bastion of communism.

>>16113420

Nigger there was a fucking reason we called it /n/atsoc and now you could make an argument that 8/pol/ was more more grounded in the pre /pol/ harbour, as there was a balance of fringe and sanity.

>>16113420

You could make the argument 8/pol/ isn't fully natsoc, but then that would be a change from it's inception instead of it's foundation. Afterall /leftypol/ exists purely because commies just hate having to share space with people they can't convince they're right and are proven wrong.

>>16113600

Not getting into a christfag slap fight here but Turn the other cheek doesn't mean "get slapped twice". At the time you slapped a man's left cheek was declaring a duel challenge. Let a faggot slap you there and you can kill him lawfully. It wasn't be a pussy and get hit twice.

>>16115009

That's what I used to think until imkampfy took over /pol/ and went fucking crazy with his shill hunts until the board only reflected what he wanted to see. Still, I'm pretty sure the socialist elements of old /pol/ never made the move to /leftypol/. From what I understand /leftypol/ was some reddit shit.
