True. Sony doesn't do Press Conferences anymore, I just learned there's a release date for Concrete Genie, had no idea until I got onto the PlayStation Store, I rarely do anymore.
Okay, let's think about this for a second. For ANYONE that has played "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" did you play The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim? It's a ripoff of Skyrim! I guess now he has to take his Nintendo Switch and smash that because Mario Maker and Mario Maker 2 are ripoffs of PlayStation's very own LittleBIGPlanet, Nintendo "shamelessly" copied that without remorse. "Imitation is the best form of flattery".
If Bioware would've gone with gut instinct, grown a pair, and told EA where to stick it, Athem would be sung to a different tune. Caving and going with microtransactions and all that was a huge mistake. We saw what they were capable of with Mass Effect, should've stuck to the same formula. Not everyone wants Co-op, most of the time, we want to lock ourselves away in a room and just have a single-player experience, that's where Sony gets us, and excells. Microsoft can't do that...
I don't know why developers can't see that. Loyalty is out the window too. Look at the developers PlayStation really helped bring to the surface, and made them huge! The right hardware and how its marketed is key, developers then feed off of that. It seems, to some extent, Konami have been the ones to recognize that and see what the PlayStation brand has done for them, Metal Gear Solid 4 still remains a PS3 exclusive. Squaresoft, no Square-Enix, gone. When Capcom were dominating the w...
At least in the beginning. So, take Killzone: Shadow Fall for example. Remember when that game was shown? And Days Gone load times now compared to then? It always starts out looking pretty but becomes a pain near the end.
How did Microsoft end up with the same stuff as Sony? Either they both show up at the same conventions and lack of innovation is all about, or there's corporate sabotage going on and someone's talking. Microsoft are desperate, they'll do anythi...
Not necessarily. There's actually tremendous value and benefit to console exclusivity and scarcity sells.
It's not exclusive, Squaresoft, like Capcom, and Namco have forgotten just what kind of relationship they had with Sony at one time, that Sony helped make them a household name. While not totally so, even Konami for the most part remembers what kind of business Sony brought them as Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 4 remain exclusive to Sonys platform not seeing the light of day on Xbox. Squaresoft could care less, nothings sacred to them so this will eventually see Xbox shores, I'...
Because everyone wants to live in California, of course cost of living is absurd.
Honestly, Valve have just as much money as Epic, they couldve played the same game.
You're kidding, right? EA access, Origin, Lootbox, do I really need to go on? You don't give a shit about your customers, it's fees and more fees, more ways to pick their pocket and nickel and dime em to death, you tell me.
Let me tell you something about how Canadian businesses operate and why consumers end up paying for it. If you apply for a position at a Canadian corporation, not even as an executive where they're in Vancouver and you live, let's say in Kentuc...
Sony are relying on and betting too much on Naughty Dog. Phil Harrison started them, Jack Treason developed and famed them, and now Shawn Layden is allowing them to be far too political and will help themselves derail them. Naughty Dog isn't all you've got, ya know, and Kojima isn't planning on sticking around. If Quantic Dream accepted Sonys money and then ran, Kojima will do the same in a self publishing market, and then what? One preachy Naughty Dog game every five years? You&#...
LittleBIGPlanet on Nintendo. Hey, credit given where credit is due, Media Molecule are far too humble to point it out and shame on Nintendo for being to stubborn and too cocky.
Not if physical media goes away. If streaming and subscriptions become the way, rhyme done. They only survived the PS4 because physical media was still a thing. They're not going to last long off of retro game sales, smaller mom and pop shops will put them out, they've nothing to offer then and people hate the corporate world, everyone knows when physical media dies, so too does GameStop. Sony and Microsoft only need their own storefront to sell their own games, GameStop can do nothin...
Nothing but a port machine to milk consumers pockets, I hate the Switch.... Nintendo is running out of ideas and staff.
Once again, Microsofts inexperience and disconnection in the gaming industry always working the Balmer Philosophy: If you can't beat em copy them to compete with them. Microsoft have never been and will never lead the market in innovation, the company has never been that way, Bill Gates himself encouraged imitation and dipping your hands into everything and just doing what the competition does, as a result Microsoft will forever be behind and never the industry leader. So it's the sam...
What the frick is this?!? This is business and politics ladies and gentlemen, this is marketing. Disect this and you kind of find something maniacal. This is going to be difficult to put into words but might spark thought and someone might be able to word this better.
Microsoft, P.R.wise bombed last console generation and it got them into a lot of trouble. To try and stay viable in the gaming market and sell consoles, they're having to he really careful this time around...
Right...... Xbots getting desperate after they see next gen will fail again. If Banjo Kazooie rumors on Switch is true, Microsoft better start making plans to release Gears on PlayStation, they've gotta understand they're no good at hardware, they're a software services company, may as well keep Windows 10 free or Google might overtake the Operating Systems market too. This is a psychological attempt to convince themselves of feeling better about themselves and fanboy ism......
"Exclusives don't sell!" Really? I guess they do.
The Chinese ripoff everything anyway. A country that, for being thousands of years old, aren't all that innovative. Look at all of the knockoff consoles and handhelds released, where do they come from? That's just China and it's people need to deal with it, and what do the fans do when angry? An American sign of "F-you". All they've done is make a game that wasn't on anyone's radar, suddenly on the radar, this is gonna turn out to be good publicity.
