Slow news day and this jackass looking for bottom of the barrel for something to complain about.
If you're putting it like that now, I'm worry about Switch 2 more than ever.
Them going Apple route and mostly iterate for the first time in their hardware history, they have no competition and is in real danger of coasting and being complacent.
Last time they tasted their near monopoly moment was in the early 90s
a company so cocky so full of themselves that they're willing to backstab their partner which in turn created PlayStation, now no one's do...
What new normal?
It's been like this for almost 4 years now.
Other than me very slowly working on my PS4 backlog and playing mostly GT7 on PS5 I'm not using PS5 nearly as much as I as wanted to.
Console lives and dies on its games especially exclusive ones, and they're not giving it right now, good thing I have PS4 backlog to play through.
Now I'm on PC playing older games on RPCS3 and PCXS2 using Dualsense controller and using PS5 to rechar...
Glad I didn't lose my sleep watching it live and slept through it and watch the replay instead.
Too many "new" games that all looked very similar to each other and kind of all blended in together after a while.
Sci-fi setting and themed games are overcrowded at the moment but hey let's triple down on it by announcing it some more.
Oh well at least we got to see some gameplay of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.
Man their Live service ma...
Looks meaty this time, over 40 minutes and hope that they don't waste too much time on 3rd party title announcements, they have normal YouTube uploads for that.
It's 5 AM on the 13th for me so won't be watching it live it's a pre-recorded stream anyway.
It better damn well be, the darn thing costed more than the whole of PS5 Pro.
Kinda hilarious PCguide would have to shill this so hard because no one at the moment can get their hands on 5090 even at overinflated prices so they only have 5080 to work with.
Stop port begging he isn't with PlayStation anymore.
After 30 something years, he has nothing left to prove so please just let the man go.
So damn tired of all these AAA titles and their redemption arc.
We're just normalized this practice of "broken games with x amount of potential got redeemed a few years later"
My money is on the product that works as intended on release day, if it failed to do so then its automatically in my deep discount buy list months or years down the line or I simply forgotten about it. I don'...
Tried to be like Forza Horizon is a huge downgraded I mean look at the sales number on MK8.
I think Astro Bot outdid Odyssey in terms of pace and level of interactivity immersion it gave.
I mean look at how many charming animations they make for each of the 300+ Astro Bots in the game scattered around at crash site home base, just the sight of that alone never fails to give you a huge smile and joy.
Astro Bot is also the first ever platform game I played that never made the post-game activity felt like a boring drawn out collect-a-thon challenge mode feel and was a...
They're supposed to take this whole live service experiments in moderation but instead make it their single minded obsession ffs!
No wonder all their big studios still have nothing to show for, being forced to experiment and make Live service title and it just doesn't pan out.
What a huge waste of time, money and resources.
This meant that most of their PS studios won't be releasing anything new that isn't Live Service at least a few years from now, ...
They got panicked and buckled from all the pressure that's why this trailer even exists.
Nintendo simply shit the bed without saying a word then making us wait over 2 months just to find out more.
At least Sony are ready to face it like a man and gave PS5 Pro presentation in detail and then announced the price and release date in one fell swoop.
Man, all the leaks and rumors really took away all the fun out of the announcement.
Calling it Switch 2 is playing it safe and works but pretty boring by Nintendo standards.
Their systems having weird quirks and names is what's makes Nintendo unique for me.
Sucks that they panicked dropped the trailer then ran right back into their HQ and now we have to wait 'till April to learn more about it.
Meh on the form factor it almost repeat the Wii U anno...
At this point just fucking announce the damn thing already, Nintendo.
They must be felt the pressure to top the Switch's success and numbers, but they have no one else to gauge with but themselves and that's a slippery slope to be tread carefully all alone in the dedicated handheld market.
I really want to be proved wrong of course but the signs at the moment are not good and I'm not talking about leaked specs but how Nintendo treat the situation.
Specs ...
No, gamers want the good products that is also reasonably priced not this AI secret sauce hype building overpriced FOMO crap that is 5090.
His on-stage quote justifying the price of 4090 as if "it's a modern home theater" is just icing on the AI generated cake.
If you only have just a GPU you can't do shit with it, they're just assumed gamers are some clueless riches eating grass, and not meat or rice and as cows to be milking off of.
They going to come out undercooked it as usual, and holding back official announcement this long can only led to disappointment because they also let all the rumors ran wild and people started to expect too much out of it.
Even assuming they won't do anything cutting edge hardware wise because its Nintendo I still think all the rumors did enough damage that no matter what they announced it would still be viewed as some kind of disappointment to many.
Nintendo waited too ...
Their games are like what Naughty Dog eventually ended up doing in late 2000s, just not nearly as polished or as accessible.
Even Max Payne is relatively niche due to its very mature violent themes and high difficulty.
But which type of Naughty Dog they aspired to be is still to be seen, the only thing their current games have in common is that they're single player games with cutting edge graphics.
I guess they're going to waste all the time and resources and money just so you can play all the emulated PS3 games for Free and they're running a charity.
Please just pick one that make the least business sense.
This isn't the Sony of Kutaragi days where they would throw in a frigging PS1/PS2 chips inside a PS3 just so you can get hardware BC and people cried a river for it being too expensive and Sony lost hundreds of dollar every launch PS3 they made.
I knew it was fishy the second he promoted or in this case demoted to handling indie titles.
He got done dirty considering he was the one rounding up all the 3rd party dev talents back in PS1 days one of the main internal driving forces behind PlayStation success.
Had he got put in charge of working with Japanese developers I think he'd still be on the team today.
Any lesser younger guy would love this position but not to Shu' the guy was being forced to coa...
