This is stupid...
So your worried about Sony then? Right? Nintendo's losses are in the hundreds of millions but Sony's losses are in the Billions.
"GT6 would have done phenomenal numbers as PS4 launch title."
Now that I can agree with.
The talk of higher number without supported evidence is all theoretical until actuals are released. The fact is that with GT6 the sales dropped off significantly (and that an understatement). It may have been a fluke or it may be a sign that no one cares about the pedigree anymore. Who knows. But the fact of the matter is that they need to step up to stay relevant. My guess is that the numbers are so low they will never release the actuals out of fear that it would further damage the franc...
Gran Turismo - 10.95 m
Gran Turismo 2 - 9.49 m
Gran Turismo 3 - 14.98 m
Gran Turismo 4 - 11.66 m
Gran Turismo 5 - 10.88 m
Gran Turismo 6 - 2.34 m (What the hell happened?)
Hopefully they can bounce back. Not sure what went wrong with GT6 but it'll be interesting to see how it goes.
That's exactly right. Just like when I rent a movie I'm not expected to actually see all of the movie. That would just be crazy. Sony should simplify everything and just charge by the hour for gameplay. 1 hour = 1 dollar. Play all you want and pay for it when your done.
I often wonder why everything in the gaming industry is doomed, dying, or being killed. Oh yeah that's right clicks. Now I remember.
It's called LOD and it's in every game. Calm down people. They aren't reinventing the wheel here.
Wait. Something Sony made is overprices? No way.
This guy should launch his own gaming console since he's so good and a running a video game business.
He's right. If I spent 2 years creating something from scratch and then someone put the whole thing on youtube and started making money on it then I would damn sure want some of that money. The youtubers revenue stream would even exist if it weren't for the all the work put into making the game. So the thought is that game developers should share their creative property with you but you don't share anything with them. Especially not money because as I learned for a movie that ...
EA's press conference seemed more like an ad for next years press conference.
There are entire sequences for that movie that a recreations of the first game almost shot for shot.
Check this out.

And that comparison only covers the first third of the film.
I enjoyed the Silent Hill movie because it was so much like that game I loved so much. Just like I love the Lord of the Rings movies because they ...
Because that always works right? I men just looks at Max Payne and Hitman and Double Dragon and Mario and both Street Fighter movies and Doom and Far Cry and Bloodrayne and Resident Evil ect...
All fine examples of movies that ignored the actual plot of the game and tried to maintain their "spirit".
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
It's totally unique.
If you have never seen Borderlands or Halo or Mass Effect. Other than that it's totally new. Kind of. Not really.
It's funny seeing that so many people actually thought Patcher worked directly for Game Trailers. Especially since he has stated over and over about what it is that he actually does. All that tells me is that people comment more on article headlines than actually take the time to watch his show and understand what he's talking about. It points directly to the level of ignorance in the general gaming community. C'est la vie.
That may be true. But if in perusing the necessity for compelling character has led to a homogenized scruffy white male in the lead of the majority of video games being created. Then the gaming industry needs new writers. In videogames you can literally do anything. Create anything. There is no reason for this

to exist.
Oh you're right. Except your not.
Call of Duty - no women seen
Crackdown - No women seen
Halo 5- 2 male leads... no women.
Inside - No women
Scalebound - Nope
Witcher 3 - no playable women (but I bet you can bang them)
Phantom Dust was cutscene that had a woman in it but no idea if she is going to be playable.
Assassins Creed - No women are playable.
Far Cry 4 - Nope
Sunset Overdive I assume will have playabl...
Nintendo represented on this front. Splatoon is a third person shooter with female characters. Hyrule Warriors has one male and three announced female characters (Zelda, Midna and Impa) for an action combat game, Beyonetta in full effect and a new rather obscure female fighter announced for Smash Bros. The male dominated landscape seems to largely be a PS4 and Xbox One problem.
Then again there is always the new Tomb Raider.
I suppose it will have to "settle" for about 15 million sales.
