I disagree with every single one of these, haha. Good job having controversial opinions :)
Metal Gear Solid was the third best stealth game of 1998, after Tenchu and Thief. Still pretty good, though.
Well, since you were there and aware that gaming was alive, I find it quite strange that you would think the medium of video games needed saving. It was pretty clear that computer gaming wasn't disappearing despite it being a weak year for console games. I called out people who weren't there because they make up the vast majority of people claiming video games in general were dead. It's frustrating to read all those posts when they don't remember all the new game releases back then. And my tone was harsh because it's the controversial thread.
I think the thermals and battery life are probably the biggest problems at the moment actually. But oh man if they pulled it off in a couple years it would be huge.
Yeah, I know Vita gets shit on (for some good reasons) very often, but if Sony said fuck it and released a Vita 2 with SD support, with BC with Vita games and say, PS3 digital games, I would be there day fucking 1.
That's why it has to be PS4P. The library is huge and getting more games. PS3P would do ok, but I would skip it and just go all in on PS4. It would make PS4 a 15-20 year platform.
That thread was part of it. It was also the many years of people talking about it on the internet. I have always maintained the NES to be a hugely important system. It's just the notion that gaming wouldn't exist without it that I find ridiculous. Often when people say "saved gaming", that's what they mean.
I think it's a minority that believe that the NES saved gaming. It certainly saved the hime console market. Moreso in America, but overall the console market crashed and was not in a condition to recover without the NES.
Carts, Digital, microSD. Yeah I don't think the tech is there yet for a portable PS4, but the door is wide open for a couple years at least.
How so? As someone who doesn't play many JRPG's, I'm genuinely curious.
The tech to do this with acceptable battery life, cooling efficiency, storage capacity, and consumer cost will probably not exist for like 8-10 years. By then, people will have moved on to PS5 or even PS6 and there will be no market for a portable PS4.
It might be technically impossible in the near future, but it would have to be a portable PS4. A PS4 level portable with no compatibility with PS4 games would flop.
I think $399 is still their cap. Modern PC tablets have a lot more CPU and RAM than PS4 though not sure on GPU. But basically I think the tech is there but the cost is probably too high still. Sony has elite engineers though so I wouldn't be shocked to see it happen near term. I think a PS4 portable might be a bigger deal than PS5 too. We know they have unused portable patents. The ideal time to launch it would probably be the Switch refresh year, likely 2019. Then 2020 go PS5. So if we don't hear about it in the next 12 months it's probably not happening. Its definitely a controversial gaming opinion. :)
