You tell us, he laid of orders of magnitude more people than Sony did, and you remained silent.
The issue is, they aren't selling enough hardware to make their exclusives profitable, and now that they've bought half the gaming publisher/dev industry, they have no choice but to go third party to make a profit... and that is making their shareholders take a real close look at their hardware division under the microscope... why keep making the hardware if the software is all that is making them money, and they continually, generation after generation come in dead last with hardware...
I agree with you, which is why I said he's "kinda" right... he's right in the fact that capitalism is behind a lot of investors freaking out that the games industry, while still healthy, is not continually growing unsustainably, but he's also being hypocritical in the same breath after buying half the industry and then laying off thousands of them, and using his own business practices as an excuse to cover for his failures.
the remakes are better than the original.
I like the remakes better than the original that I grew up playing back in the 90s... they are doing it right. And that soundtrack... I still jam the Gongaga theme all the time.
nobody will buy a 1:1 remake, they already know what is going to happen exactly... and you can't properly remake a 20+ year old game 1:1 anyway, so much needs to be done to bring it to modern standards, that you have to change some things.
I thought the opposite, the music in Rebirth is one of my favorite aspects of the game, especially the Gongaga theme.
Exactly this... Microsoft is a publicly traded company, mostly owned by their shareholders (Approximately 59.24% of the company's stock is owned by Institutional Investors, 7.73% is owned by Insiders and 33.03% is owned by Public Companies and Individual Investors.). Their shareholders call the shots on the business decisions, and their shareholders want one thing and one thing only, for their stock price to go up. Losses do not make stock prices go up... so if the division continually po...
He's kinda right, shareholders expect constant growth, which is unsustainable, but it is what they expect nonetheless. That's why, even though the games industry is healthy as it has ever been, because it isn't growing, everyone in the industry is panicking. Even though we're still selling just as many consoles as ever, they expect each generation to just keep on growing and growing, and when that doesn't happen, they start to freak out.
This is true of...
Cyberpunk was a disaster on all consoles and PC.
They're just trying everything they can think of to try to get people to sign up at this point... tossing one Hail Mary after another.
His cocky smirk I've always found to be incredibly annoying...
They're just throwing Hail Marys at this point.
Noticing a definite lack of obscure observations on this news, 😂
I can't help but find it funny how you criticize the game for not being linear, and having a bunch of side quests, and then you praise the original for being open world, which is the exact same thing...
Yes, final Fantasy 7 rebirth is definitely my game of the generation. Some will call this heresy, but I think it is better than the original. They flesh out the story so much more... And that soundtrack... Once i got into Gongaga my surround system was cranked to the max.
Still waiting for this extremely long list of CPU bottlenecked games to come out... 😆
People say "GTA6" as if Rockstar isn't designing that entire game around the ps5, knowing that it's going to be their biggest selling platform.
I agree with this, I attempted to submit the video of Moore's law is dead leaking the ps5 pro specs like 5 days before Eurogamer finally got around a reporting on it, and it got rejected.
Keep in mind PS2 didn't hit 160m until years after PS3 was out.
