How many studio's have Sony founded or acquired this gen? Ms have increased their studio portfolio by 100% in the past few months. Those are actions, not just words, so how the hell can you say they are just saying what people want to hear? I swear, people on n4g are so blinkered, they support Sony like a religion. It is very sad, and very, very disturbing.
You COULDN'T care less. If you could care less you actually care about it.
Is this guy for real? Rdr2 is obviously a single player game first and foremost, they haven't even shown anything about an online mode FFS. They have however shown that it will be a sp western epic, with an unprecedented attention to detail. Don't you think that if the majority of effort had gone into an online portion, they would of been marketing it by now?
WRONG!!!
@nix sorry to burst your bubble, but I and plenty of other people don't "love" Spiderman. End. Of. Story.
I suggest you buy a dictionary to look up the meaning of "universally". The game may be amazing, but your comment is anything but.
Never bet against any rockstar game, in terms of critical, or commercial success.
Erm, you do realise business deals CAN'T be rushed along sometimes, and that negotiations almost always take time to reach a point where both parties are happy? They announced FOUR acquisitions and the opening of a brand new studio at e3, was that not unprecedented? They also said they were looking into acquiring more studios, obsidian could be one of them.
Talk about shallow, asinine, first world problems.
Screw little idiots who think they have some sort of ownership over a creators content just because they are fans/players of previous iterations. Do You guys think the original readers of Sherlock Holmes would like its recent representations? If you don't like the game, Don't buy it. You call ppl sjws, but it is YOU trying to change other people's creations to suit your viewpoint, by bitching on the net lol. Isn't it ironic, don't ya think?
No, you look ignorant because it was obvious I was saying ALL people's stories should be able to be told, whether they be in the minority or majority. The creator should be able to tell the story they want to, whether the majority of people relate to it, or just one person can.
So you believe that a story should only be told if it represents the majority of people's values? That is a dangerous type of thinking, and has caused the deaths and persecution of millions in the past. It has nothing to do with political correctness, if there is a story to be told, it should be able to be told. If you don't like it, don't buy it. You have ZERO ownership over it, so why do you think it should follow your world view? This is why the world is a shit show. People ar...
You are so blinded by your corporate brainwashing you can't see the good from the bad? Keep fighting that fight console soldier, maybe 1 day you'll come back home to reality.
And quantum break.
Just look at this comments section...just look at it. The entire industry, including even Nintendo, the most online opposing platform holder out there, is ready to give the majority of gamers what they want: X platform play. Despite what Sony fanboys on this site say, the majority of gamers want this, and have for years. Game developers and publishers want this, because it gives their respective communities a bigger overall player base. EVERY platform holder, except Sony, wants this. Sony'...
There is no debate. There is no conversation. Unless you are 100% complimentary to Sony, you are given grief at best, or abuse at worst. There are a few voices of reason. But for the most part, n4g is now for people who have a weird relationship with their Sony console. Why ppl defend Sony's policies when those policies directly negatively affect them is beyond me. It has become like a cult. Keep drinking the kool aid.
The policy is anti consumer because it is denying their own CONSUMERS a feature which is becoming an industry standard, whether they or their fanboys like it or not. It is undefendable. Would you defend them if they didn't allow you to use their console to connect to a different video service than ps Vue? It's the same thing FFS. Don't let your bias cloud your judgement. If customers don't hold them to account, no one will.
What a surprise, Sony is under the microscope for various reasons including their baffling stance on X platform play, so they deploy Shawn layden and co to remind everyone that you are making more money for you and shareholders than other companies are. You have become anti consumer and The opposite of the thing you sold your console on at the beginning.
This says what a lot of us are thinking. I have never b4 seen so many people defend a policy that not only doesn't benefit them, it actually negatively affects them. And the only reason they do this is because they feel some strange connection with the abstract concept of the company. They really are brainwashed. If only they put the same energy into the issues that actually matter, the world might not be such a shitshow. And it's not that they only defend their choice of platform, if...
H8 to break it to you guys, but your games already ARE 100% digital. A dwindling amount of you may buy discs, but wtf do you think is on those discs? It's 1's and 0's exactly the same as if you downloaded your game. You have to install it, after that the disc is nothing but a key, THAT YOU DON'T OWN. Check the EULA if you don't believe me.
@showtime I suggest you go watch the video ninja Theory released explaining why they chose to become ms first party, and what they demanded from Xbox, total creative freedom was top of the list. But don't let the truth get in the way of your biases huh?
