    Discussion Sony FY2024 Q2 Earnings Announcement | OT

    Who was saying PS5 was doomed this gen due to the PC & multiplat strategy? AFAIK, it's always been 10th-gen that'd see more of the fallout which was the consensus among us speculating. Granted PS5 sales could continue falling behind PS4 launch-aligned with the way things are going, or fall...

    News Death Stranding IP will now be owned by Kojima Productions

    Yes. More like a coordinated effort between these two that's just bearing more fruit :/

    News Death Stranding IP will now be owned by Kojima Productions

    So you're saying SIE couldn't work out terms favorable to Kojima while still retaining IP rights to Death Stranding? Doesn't sound like a platform holder in a position of strength TBH. But let's suppose owning the IP is why, for example, there hasn't been a Bloodborne 2. Because From Software...

    Discussion Sony FY2024 Q2 Earnings Announcement | OT

    Yes, because SIE are going to take all $341 million earned from PC (and Nintendo and Xbox, that's where the "other platforms" is actually there for) and spend it on a new Spiderman game? No that's not going to happen, and that means little for a PS5 owner because by the time said game comes out...

    Xbox Death Stranding has been quietly released for Xbox Series X|S.

    Only Sony makes Sony DVD/Blu-Ray players with their proprietary tech. Same with Matsushita/Panasonic, LG, Samsung, I could go on and on. They all have exclusive patents on technologies only they are legally allowed to use. But exclusivity for corpos is perfectly fine, I take it? But...

    Xbox Death Stranding has been quietly released for Xbox Series X|S.

    What "many consoles" failed? N64? The system that was competitive with PS1 in the West and still beat the Saturn > 3:1 despite releasing almost two full years later? Gamecube, the system that still had huge 1P hits like Smash Bros. Melee and MK: Double Dash? The Wii U, which still has the...

    Xbox Death Stranding has been quietly released for Xbox Series X|S.

    Not the way you think they do. Hardcore & core enthusiasts are the ones who light the fire to get the engine going, so to speak, when it comes to a console's longer-term prospects. They're the ones who drive early engagement and growth, which makes the platform appealing for the casual...

    Yep and in addition to aforementioned Stalker 2, there's: -Falconeer -Echo Generation (still not on PS or Switch; released in 2021) -Ravenlok (still not on PS or Switch; released in 2023) -Black Desert (technically was a XBO console timed exclusive) -PUBG (XBO; similar to Black Desert) ...and...

    Discussion GoW Ragnarok PS5 Pro patch

    Probably still not as performant as PC version with max settings and proper calibrations. In fact, I'll just say most of the showcasing for patch improvements haven't been that impressive IMHO aside DD2 and maybe GT7. SIE's own games going to PC already has dulled vast majority of the impact...

    Xbox Death Stranding has been quietly released for Xbox Series X|S.

    Don't worry: they already are. We'll see how SIE deals with that if/when PS5 Pro sales slow down vs. estimates, and when PS6 early adoption rates track noticeably behind PS4 & PS5 launch-aligned. Because both things are very on-track to happen; it's a question of by how much. And no, I'm not...

    Xbox Death Stranding has been quietly released for Xbox Series X|S.

    I love how petty and simple-minded you guys are about this. So I can't do what's best for me as a gamer and as a customer, while still speaking on what I feel is best for different platforms and companies in the industry? Guess what? People can do both things simultaneously. I didn't choose...

    News Death Stranding IP will now be owned by Kojima Productions

    We'll see. When MS does 3P exclusivity deals, no one in the gaming media seems to complain and you don't see Steam fanatics & others going on about how exclusives are "anti-consumer" when anyone but Sony does them. None of it makes sense. It even betrays the talk they gave about wanting to...

    Xbox Death Stranding has been quietly released for Xbox Series X|S.

    Yeah decisions like this have basically solidified I'll be rolling Switch 2 & PC (and if Valve does it, Steam Machine 2) for my gaming going forward. Any SIE & Microsoft games I want will either be on PC Day 1 or be there within a reasonable time frame where I won't mind waiting (I rarely get...

    Xbox Death Stranding has been quietly released for Xbox Series X|S.

    You can't pretend this isn't a sign of a forming trend, though. We already went through this song and dance when Horizon was announced for PC. "Oh it's just this one game". Then it became more. Now it's basically the whole slate, with shortening porting windows. SIE are now inviting the...

    Discussion Tom Henderson: LEGO: Horizon Adventures is "relatively short"; can be completed in ~6 hours

    Yeah but it took you a LOT of replays of RE2 in order to do 90-minute runs. So in total you might've already put in 20+ hours to get to that point, especially if you aren't using guides (talking about OG RE2 here). Most games these days aren't designed with Normal difficulties that make you...

    Discussion Tom Henderson: LEGO: Horizon Adventures is "relatively short"; can be completed in ~6 hours

    It's $70? 🤣 I thought it was $40? Surely must be $40 I even remember them mentioning that at some point. Or is it $40 in the US but 70 euros (which would seemingly make it almost $80 USD)? EDIT: Just looked it up; it's $60 in the US. Kind of crazy considering Astro Bot was the same price...

    Nintendo Nintendo Q2 FY25: 2.62m Switch, Forecast revised down

    I think it's because deep down, they know Nintendo (and Steam) ARE competition, and they're more formidable as indirect competitors than Xbox has been as a direct competitor for the past 5-7 years, especially more recently. So they're in a weird space where they'll use Nintendo & PC to shit...

    Nintendo Nintendo Q2 FY25: 2.62m Switch, Forecast revised down

    Third in revenue, with an almost 8-year old system, against a platform that spent $80+ billion to finally beat them in revenue while still dropping in profits (Xbox), and another platform that's missed its own sales forecasts despite only being 4 years old (PlayStation 5). With both said...

    Discussion Square Enix will release games simultaneously on both Xbox and PlayStation going forward

    Dude this downplaying is just not a good look. Facts are facts; RS2R outsold a hyped new IP from the makers of a JRPG series that's been surging in popularity the past few years. Trying to dismiss that by saying "Oh well y'know if Metaphor was on Switch" is just tasteless. Like no duh...

    Discussion Square Enix will release games simultaneously on both Xbox and PlayStation going forward

    This is a lie. Romancing SaGa 2 Remake already beat Metaphor & Persona 3 Reload's debuts in Japan. IIRC it's the 2nd-highest JRPG opening in Japan this year only behind FF VII Rebirth. And I'd assume the game is doing quite well in other markets too. You really should've at least looked at...
