Damn right!
GO AND BUY DEATH STRANDING + MEDIEVIL you peasants! ;)
Its funny that some people doubt in company which sell 100+ mln hardware, have 14 very talented studios and 10+ mln IPs :)
So much fun.
So much fun.
You can't compare Microsoft to Netflix. The economic situation is much different. If Sony went the Netflix model, they would be even worse debt than Netflix. Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft have the luxury to able to absorb the losses for a long time made to gain dominance in a market. Something Sony doesn't really have.
Sony doesn't need fighting games. The third party ones are fine for that. Completely waste of resources to put a first party on that, unless it's a revamped PS Allstars
MS see their mistake and are trying to fix it. First party games. Say what you will, they are making big moves to get there. Won't pay off till a few years, but they are getting there.
Sony has the first party. 100%. But other than that, it doesn't feel like they are making any power plays. Just more AAA games. I get it. "Its all about the games anyways". But MS is doing that plus more.
They are going hard on Mixer for next gen. Elite controller. Gamepass is a fucking great service. Xcloud seems to be stealing all the mindshare. PSNOW rarely feels like its part of the conversation.
Dunno, maybe its because Sony has been absent from all the major conferences and their state of play is kinda mehhh and few and far between that its skewing my perspective?
But its like "Heres a new article about the PS5 triggers" .......................yay.
Ahh, Thrill Kill. I think the story surrounding it is my favorite in gaming. A game that is hyped entirely on how violent sexual it is. Then EA buys the publisher of the game and immediately cans it stating that they don't want to publish something like that. The game later leaks and people find out two things. The first is that it's nowhere near was violent or sexual as the hype had indicated. It's actually pretty damn tame. But also that it was really awful. The developer of Thrill Kill would turn around and essentially rebrand the game into a Wu-Tang fighting game.
Sure, I'd like a JRPG from Sony's first-party studios. A futuristic racer would also be nice. And there definitely needs to be some more emphasis on platformers, preferably of the 3D variety. A snowboarding game in the style of SSX Tricky would go down an absolute treat. Ooh, how about a stealth game along the same lines as Syphon Filter or Splinter Cell? We're not exactly drowning in those right now.
Maybe tone it down a bit with the gritty, post-apocalyptic action games though.

Then why is not google doing? Whybis amazon not doing it?

User Warned: Using ethnic slur "jap".
we will probably see a lot more Jap./Jrpg Games finding their way on Gamepass. Its a Win Win Situation for both parties - Japanese Game sell mostly on Ps4 and Switch, so there is not much money to loose from the perspective of the developers, while Microsoft is making their Gamepass more attractive to these fanbases.
personally im happy to see Microsoft making a strong comeback - this will only push Sony further to deliver. They will respond with a bang, im confident about that.

Thrill Kill. That takes me back. I had a friend who obtained a copy of that somehow and a bunch of us went to his house and put some time into it. It was the forbidden fruit of gaming at the time, and we as kids were desperate to play it. It's exactly as SolidSnakex says though - it was tame as hell and it absolutely sucked. There was a maid character who groaned in an orgasmic manner when she won a round, and that was about as obscene as it got.
That's what Jim Ryan has been saying. I'm very curious to see if they will be able to accomplish this or not.
So I think the tweet/Wired article ain't happening huh? You really gonna let Xbox bask in glory like this, Sony?!
/s
Remember how cool you were among your friends because you had Thrill Kill at home? ;D
You mean something like Sony's Cool Boarders franchise? ;)
You mean Belladonna? ;) My favourite character was Dr. Faustus ;D
Nah, it's over. After today Sony will announce that the PS5 got canceled. It's over. Sony's going 3rd party.
Sony needs to respond to gamepass before next gen. MS is already sub players away beyond the start of next gen. I always had PS but it's start to being difficult not to change, this a year ago wasn't even a remote possibility.
Now they have more studios, FP on gamepass day one, some TP at day one or close, JRPGs in gamepass.
Sony needs more studios and expand Now to a gamepass concurrent.

I'd love to see Sony revitalize their extreme sport takes. They made some of the best games in that genre. And it'd mean a revival of this
They already responded. If you want to play the sequels to GoW, Horizon and Spider-man, and all those other games by Sony, you will have to buy a PS5.
These games won't be playable on Gamepass.
We just have to disagree I guess. I personally prefer PS4 output to PS3s output (only exception would be TLOU but we are about to get TLOU 2 so that part is covered too)
I suppose it depends on what side you flip. I don't really agree that MS is there on first party games yet. It is good they are investing, but I think the gap is till pretty darn big so far.
I really don't see what is particularly interesting about Gamepass. I buy games and sell them after I finish them. I probably spend less money than people pay on Gamepass and get only the games I want. It is good to have options though.
Sony should have never closed Incognito Entertainment. Such a talented studio. They made games that were simply fun..... but weren't big sellers. I still miss them :( Twisted Metal, Downhill Domination, War of the Monsters, Warhawk.... their games were soooo goooood ;(
Microsoft is basically setting themselves up like never before to be a loss-leader in the gaming market, in the hope that they can reach as many of the projected "2 billion gamers" that are out there, and their approach to Game Pass going forward proves it. Whether the losses they are currently and will continue to eat will net them as many global users as PlayStation in total is debatable. Especially since Sony also has services which are popular and make them billions overall, but as far as PS Now is concerned, are a lot more conservative (and realistic) about the impact that streaming is going to have over the course of the next few years. It will grow with demand and Sony doesn't need to give away their games day one or bargain with publishers to get day one releases until they feel like they have to.
No. Cool Boarders was kinda crap, even back during the PS1 days. Time to start again with a new IP and simply mimic the whole joyous vibe and outlandish gameplay mechanics that EA nailed with Tricky. It's not like they're going to bother with a new SSX game anytime soon.
Well, I don't see Sony acquiring studios any time soon and it looks like all of their 1st-devs are focusing on AAA games (except for PixelOpus) so they could possibly go for AA exclusive publishing deals with smaller 3rd-party devs.
So when Shenmue 3 and Dragon Quest XI inevitably come to Xbox in the near future, I'm sure people will lose their minds in this thread🙄
After 6 years on the market, the PS4 is now the third fastest selling console in the US only behind the PS2 and Wii https://venturebeat.com/2019/11/14/...h-sales-cant-offset-october-hardware-decline/
Imagine playing and enjoying video games when the solace and comfort that temporary exclusivity provides you is so much better.
This is so boring man. Do you guys read of the same script? Is it that hard for you to understand that sony has a different strategy?
You don't need a big team for such a game. So they should contact Firesprite and tell them to make a Arcade Snowboard or Arcade Racing game. AA budget and a team of ~20 devs should be enough.
Sony won't spend a lot of money in something that they don't even know if will works in long term. People seens to forget that MS has a lot of money to fund stuff like this. Sony focus now is to spend money on exclusive games for PS5.
The thing is outside very specific forums, anything ms does not necessarily resonate with the normal population that buys consoles but doesn't live in places like Era all day.
Just personal experience, anecdotal if you wish, but nobody at work or friends talks about game pass or know who is obsidian, or Scarlett....but they know somehow that ps5 is launching next year and start being curious about it (,price...)
They don't know what psnow is either and only one person i know has told me about remote play without me telling him first.
I will say the one thing Sony needs to pick up is making a service comparable to Gamepass. being able to play all those games at a low cost is enticing to a gamer
The strategy is different but at this point is starting to appear much better to people that was/is on Sony eco system, or to people that will chose on of the two consoles in the next generation.
PS has the FP games on their side, but that wasn't the only trump in the begenning of this generation and for almost the entire generation.
Gamepass feels like a race to the bottom. I'd still like to see how it benefits studios. If studios have a hard time making the financials of today's market work, I just don't see how the math works in their favor. It feels like it's going to create an audience that expects to play everything on day one for $10/month thus devaluing content across the board. If the model actually helps/works, and isn't buoyed by deep Microsoft pockets, then I'm all for it. But I'd like to see the math to support the claims.
I still feel like Sony is making the right move on that front. I would like to see them get around to actually honoring their past though. So many great titles they can leverage and they just sit on them.

I love the JRPG fans in this thread who haven't spoken a word about Trails of Cold Steel 3 since it released are now dying to play older games that have been on PlayStation for years on a different platform.
This thread used to be a lot better than this.

this right here. Exactly.
Too many big games to play than to be worrying about a game pass service. 🤣🤣
Keep making those big AAA games Sony. You got millions who will pay the $60 for them.
when games sales go down, then they can put everything day one on PS now
Sub players away ?
Nothing MS has done has made there sales better this gen and that goes for game pass also .
What Sony needs to do is what best for them and adjust when need be .
That does not always line up with what some consumers want and the company goals .
The big 3rd party games won't be there on day 1 either .
Another thing is some people making to much of a big deal for old and niche games.
It is good that there on GP yes but it really don't matter .
never got death's stranding or concrete genie
likely will get DS in January
already got Days Gone, Dreams and Medieval
Sony's first party should combine a bunch of stupid shit to make a new mega-genre. It can be a battle royale skateboarding game!
Naughty Dog can make it.

Reality: Playstation Firing on all cylinders.
Thread: Playstation needs to copy > Insert whoever here < Because in a few years time > insert reason here < and they've got more money than Santa clause.
But I never see whatever the latest claim of impending doom is echoed in reality, like ever. It's just a little weird to me after 6 years of complete dominance and well received games.

will we finally get the Sony Games on Gamepass then ? :D
i think there is no doubt they will - they are gearing up their arsenal for years now. I'm more excited for the PS5 Reveal than any other console reveal in the past thb.
I've said it since day one - don't hedge your bets on any third-party exclusive staying exclusive forever. It might - it might very well not either. And ironically ever since I said it, it's become true even for bonafide first-party games, where we see some games go to PC for strategic/other reasons.
I've been always trying to get as much WWS and First Party PS games this gen
even went and got games that I already own on PS3 that got re released like the Uncharted Collection
but yet apparently asking Sony to invest on more things that is nourishing/widening their offerings for me to buy is spreading Doom and Gloom talk and apparently is also a threat to Sony producing said games I love and already buy like Horizon, God of War, SpiderMan, etc... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I got to be content with that alone and is "platform" warring to say else wise even if said argument is still sound if Sony ever ditched consoles and went full streaming/service war on us.
Lol I just beat it a couple days ago. Amazing game. I've given up hope for a AAA MP focused game from Sony.
