At this point, what I don't get is how they saw this happening and still pushed forward with the ABK acquisition.
Hey look at this downward spiral of a business that we have. Let's just throw SEVENTY BILLION DOLLARS at it.
Are Microsoft's execs idiots? What did they think was going to happen?
Yeah, the movie for this already exists and everybody knows it.
If they keep supporting the game with new content and send away the guy that is currently doing all the fun-killing nerfs weapon balancing, this game is 100% going to sell well above 20 million copies.
PC gamers hate Playstation because Sony actually gatekeeps great single-player games that they really want to play, without the live-service and mtx crap that Ubisoft and EA continuously push down their throat.
It's a testament to Playstation's 1st-party quality of output.
For certain?
On the contrary. I'm happy that Microsoft gets to destroy mostly shitty studios through their bad management.
Microsoft buying Activision-Blizzard was a much lesser offense than buying IdSoftware, Arkane, Tango and Obsidian.
- PS5 Pro
- PSVR2 on PC fully supported
- Start releasing PSVR2 patches of 1st party AAA games.
- Continuous support for Helldivers 2 by introducing new factions (Illuminate and others), vehicles, weapon balancing done for fun, crossover events with other universes, etc.
- New Astrobot...
I bet they're going to lose a bunch of buyers from the forced letterbox thing alone.
Who am I kidding? No one was going to buy this game in the first place. They're just going to try it on a month of Gamepass and never look at it ever again.
Stop paying for DEI consultancy and staff and slash 30% of your costs, then.
This is hyperbole, but wasn't Spider Man that had a writing staff of like 6 people and for Spider Man 2 they had like 50?
And the first game's writing was so much better.
AMD is preparing Strix Halo, a PC APU that competes with the M4 Max. It's a 40-100W laptop chip with 16 Zen5 + 4 Zen5LP cores, support for up to 128GB LPDDR5X 256bit and an embedded GPU with 32MB LLC that should put the PS5 and Series X to shame at 16 TFLOPs (32 TF dual-issue).
Radeon GPUs...
AMD has been ruling DIYs for years. Intel's marketshare has only been kept by all the inertia that exists in B2B deals.
I think this will only change drastically when some of the "nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM Intel" crowd get fired for choosing Intel. It will happen and probably...
At ~25m50s, John seems to have an epiphany on what many people have known for years, that GamePass and similar services have steadily been eroding the perception of value that people give to videogames and that's one of the main precursors of the current shrinking market.
Console sales have slowed down and an economic crisis is looming over many western countries (especially Europe) so yes. Sony needs to lower the price of the PS5 to increase adoption.
It'll probably happen with the introduction of the PS5 Pro. IMO it should be like 300-350€ discless PS5...
So after toning down a bit on saving democracy because it was taking too many hours of sleep from me, I can now proudly say I'm now eager to take all the sidequests I can get my hands on in Xion.
And in the process of doing so, I'm sleeping too little.
Most of the Doom & Gloom posts/threads are actually only coming from one single user with a very focused agenda.
Paramount brings a bunch of IPs to which Sony can claim exclusivity in videogames:
- Top Gun
- Mission Impossible
- TMNT
- Transformers
- Jack Ryan
- GI Joe
- Star Trek
- A Quiet Place
Digital Foundry just released a video where they test the RTX 2050 Mobile downclocked to 750MHz. Like I estimated above, this is about half the original clock of 1400MHz which is what they estimate to be Switch 2's docked performance.
A couple of points:
1 - Save for VRAM-limited...
