Jim Ryan Apperciation Thread

[Nhomnhom]

This is what it must feel like to be a green rat.

If he's good then let's see if he can top that PS4 numbers.

If he is good lets see how the PS6 will do, PS5 selling more than PS4 was always an easy goal given how much the Xbox Series consoles suck and all the momentum from PS4.

You would think the guy has no idea what he’s doing and thats he’s the biggest piece of shit in the world by the way the media and some fans portray him, instead of a guy thats been increasing SIE’s marketshare considerably, reinvigorated ps plus without day one games, started a new indie initiative, expanded ip global reach with ps plus, made the most acquisitions than any other president at playstation, weathered a chip shortage, and now is still standing toe to toe with a war chest microsoft.

Sony must answer Microsoft acquiring strong single player IPs like CoD, Overwatch, Diablo and WoW. Clearly. Only way to do this now is to buy From Software and have them work on Last of Us spin-offfs.

He deserves praise for being the most successful console maker CEO in gaming history. No other one generated more revenue. He's growing all areas and expanding to new ones with big success, and the profit they generate will be bigger than the Nintendo one once they relax their heavy push on investments and their results become more noticiable.

The console soon will become again the fastest selling one ever and has record engagement and ARPU, as happens with their game subs. Their games sell more than ever and win a ton of awards.

he gets a lot of unfair hate from Xbox fanClowns who desperately want him to be the next Don Mattrick so they can "turn the tides" on PS5

But i infinitely support him more than FatClown PotBelly Phil Spencer. He does his job and shuts up, and of course he's outselling Phil DadBod by about 3:1, so he's doing something right.

Really unfair treatment he receives.

To see Jimbo getting unfair hate from xbox fans wouldn't surprise me. What surprises me is to see supposed PS fans spamming unfair and nonsensical hate against Jimbo/Hermen/Sony.

Even if he sold a Billion PlayStation's and cured cancer, you guys would still complain.

It's not that. It's just anything positive he's done, anyone in his position could have done as just like their job role - especially those that are setup from previous people's work. Kevin Butler could do his job, but at least he'd have the sense to go let's try this thing over here for you hardcore's. I gotta to sell this PSVR for a sec, no no don't hate on them, you still have your thing over here, that's the plus in PS+ baby. And he's a satire marketing campaign ffs.

 

[Remember_Spinal]

Hardcore gamers matter less, thats just the truth. People that consider themselves enthusiast spend less and complain more.

And for all the complaining, sales show that no one cares what people on forums think because games that sell the most are least talked about in ‘enthusiast’ circles.

 

[ethomaz]

He made some mistake decision (more related to Remaster and PC) but overall he is killing the competition and make PlayStation brand bigger than ever.

And now we need him gone along with his lackey Hermen.

Have you seen all the new IP nurtured under Jimbo? Fairgame$, Concord and maybe something else we don't know about.

I'm not one to bend over backwards to display appreciation of some high level executive... But there is one thing Jim R. said in an interview that resonated with me, I will paraphrase but he basically said that Sony's studios have to strive to make culturally relevant games.

Also, there is no overwhelming talk about business models, monetization and the other distractions ms talks about all the time.

He’s also been proven right multiple times over the course of this generation when people tried to drag him.

So yeah…. So far I feel far more confident in this guy than the people trying to convince me against basic logic. People would rather listen to the guy that dressed up in game tees and jeans. Everytime jim ryan says something ‘controversial’ in only a matter of months its proven true.

All the ‘anti-consumer’ things sony does is shortly followed by everyone else doing them.

That Skill Up guy, I used to listen to his channel but at some point it turned into some GamePass shill channel, the guy just can't go without talking about it in his videos. As if that was something new or especially amazing to have.

He also gave Halo:I a great review score, and he stands behind the review check he got from MS without shame.

I don't know the others.

 

[flaccidsnake]

I don't care about these people, but Playstation has been solid under the last 3 leaderships. Ryan hasn't fucked it up, so good for him.

 

[Danja]

The way he promised us this generation we'd have more variety and they'd have every genre covered... yet I still can't see a single arcade racer or 1st party fighter in sight.

I'm not gonna write off Concord as yet though. FairGame$ is a stinker tho.

We haven’t seen or played either game.

And i still believe sony are aware of and will be covering most genre going forward

• The company also wants to mix classic single-player experiences with live service tiles, as well as to fine the right balance between its big franchises and new IP and expand onto new platforms to grow audiences.

People say sony aren’t diverse but they cover genres in every one of those categories internally outside of serious role playing games.

Like I said I'm not writing off Concord... Fairgame$ will bomb .

And sure I won't hold my breath on these genres being covered. They tend to say a lot things.

Remember when they claimed PS5 would be the most customizable console in their history and it's literally the most bland so far... Yeah

Concord has plenty of red flags:
- PVP multiplayer FPS announced with CG and no gameplay
- The CG itself is short, very unmemorable and uninspiring
- There is not even any gameplay details mentioned in text,
- First game from the studio
- Announced for PC/PS5

Well there's a lot of talent and legacy at the studio. I am willing to give them a fair chance to show the game. Playstation could use a new IP shooter hit. I hope for the best.

Were there other playstation consoles you could randomly switch the colors and designs of on the fly that im not aware of?

We’re there other playstation consoles you could randomly switch the colors and designs of on the fly that im not aware of?

360 faceplates.

Very diverse:
- Naughty Dog working on a Factions a GaaS that seem to be in development hell
- Upcoming Horizon cartoony GaaS
- Deviation games GaaS in development hell
- Haven GaaS Fairgame$ for PC/PS5
- Firewalk GaaS Conrad for PC/PS5
- Marathon GaaS for PC/Xbox/PS5
- London Studio GaaS

Funny that GaaS people get to know about the games that are coming in advance but people that enjoy traditional games don't... almost as if those traditional games are actually few and far between and a long way from being released.

Like I said he make some minor mistakes.

But overall he was pretty great to PlayStation.
Imagine if it was somebody that tried to follow Xbox weird ideias.

He is delivery games to PlayStation owners.
