Miyamoto ripped off the idea for Mario 64 anyways, so I mean...
Because there's a difference between actually putting in work and development time on at your own expense vs just publishing a game.
Well bear in mind, MS consideres games made by third parties but PUBLISHED by them to be First Party.
Real cute when a game company moves the goalpost themselves, ain't it?
Anything they start NOW will be a next gen title.
I love how this assumes those are mutually exclusive.
SSO would be nice. Dang shame MS managed to still effectively take Insomniac's IP away from them.
Uhh, who says they're not gonna do it for the PS5? That's gonna depend on what the specs of that system are though. Again, the Cell is a very weird-but-powerful little thing.
You're completely missing the point.
This isn't about time or ease, this is about HARDWARE.
They are trying to Brute Force this right now, have been for years, and with a massive 8 core CPU. And they still can't do it.
This is not something you can feasibly emulate with a weak processor like a Jag. Period.
This here is why I headdesk every time someone insists Sony could easily do BC with PS3 on PS4.
Its taken THIS LONG to get this game running on PC via emulator, PCs with higher specs than a PS4 no less, PCs with high-end desktop CPUs, and look how it plays. Y'all think something with a Jag would run that better?
It ain't like it's just Sony not wanting to press the button, the PS4 literally cannot process like the Cell.
RDR2 is in no way a shoe-in for that award, tbh.
The past was button mashing, sex in the form of ridiculous QTEs, and a paper-thin plot with paper-thin characters all about the spectacle.
You're essentially comparing Scorcessie and Michael Bay and saying Michael Bay is a better filmmaker.
And yet, in the end, the cost of a movie ticket is the same no matter if it's an Oscar-winning timeless drama, a Spielberg Blockbuster, a Michael Bay orgy of senseless noise, or some low-tier Uwe Boll crap.
Yes, by all means, honor those that are good, but don't act like people are entitled for not supporting "unique" rates for the "good ones" or being upset when games are sub-par. Yes, devs pour a lot of work into their games, but that does not ...
>Refusal to accept higher pricing
That's not a sense of entitlement, bud. That's looking at... well, facts.
Besides which, any excess profit would go straight to the publisher, not the devs.
You'd have a valid point if this was anyone but Kotaku.
(Or Polygon, sometimes Destructoid, New Normative, etc.)
And yet they still don't really "own" their game as MS is retaining sole publishing and distribution rights. So while Insomniac can move the IP, they can't even move or port their own game, SSO 2 would almost have to reboot for a new publisher to pick it up.
They got a raw deal there.
Given the fact that he apologized to their Marketing and FP heads? Seems so.
I just gotta say though, apologizing to GREENBERG of all people for this? hilarious
"Look at me, I'm special!": the article.
Woulda been easier to just say "Don't like it, don't buy it, that's fine too." lmao
IGN has dedicated Xbox podcasts and McCaffrey himself ran damage control for MS's lack of exclusives last week when the GoW reviews dropped, claiming it took Playstation 10 years to get good exclusives. (With those 10 years starting from the PS3 era, absurdly enough).. And, conveniently, Phil Spencer happened to be RIGHT THERE with a set of perfectly crafted PR statement replies.
They tried so hard to make that seem a genuinely organic moment but you can tell that was p...
Apologizing for this to AARON GREENBERG, of all people.
God of War is not being pirated to the PC.
