Sony hate thread

[whatever I feel like]

id feel bad about the layoffs...except that ive heard multiple times that video game programming is the most shit job "in the field" and that programmers would be better off doing almost anything else.

600 more EA employees liberated today!

All-in-one features are nice. It's not necessary, Switch proves that, but it is pretty convenient.

For $500, it ought to play Youtube videos flawlessly AND suck my dick every night. I can't believe people are willing to pay so much for something that does so little.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

Someone gave me career advice way back that with the kind of skills I'd need to work on games, I could just get a job at a bank and make way more with way less of a workload.

i was told that youre better off getting a real job and making your own games as a hobby.

based on shit like fnaf and stardew valley id believe it.

 

[Baraka Obama]

A former EA programmer in the "EA Wives" era told me do not work in video games; get a job making enterprise grade database software or something else equally boring and raise a family instead.

6. VR costs a fuckin' fortune, on top of the pricey PC or PS5 that precludes the headset + controllers
7. Developing a game that's VR from the ground up excludes you from Switch & Xbox right off the bat
8. Fuck your maladies. Bad eyes? Bad neck? Limited mobility? Eat shit!
9. Small play area? Do you have your PS5 hooked up to a TV you use from your bed? No room to stand? Eat shit!

Yeah pretty much. And to top it all off VR games are slop.

The Oculus Rift came out twelve years ago. In an eleven year span, we went from Mario 64 to Mario Galaxy.

I've never seen a technology get so much R&D dumped into it by multiple giant corporations yet have so little refinement of the core experience, particularly on the software side.

Watching the market reject VR has been a small whitepill. That shit is fucking gay and I'm glad most see it that way. Double funny to watch the consoomers get blueballed by the whatever it's called apple VR.

Even Half Life Alyx is like "I'd just rather play this with a keyboard and mouse."

What they really need is two power gloves and a small carpet with sensors or something. Basically every time you lift your leg and set it down again you take a step forward. Give those fatties a real workout.

I'd never buy that because Apple uses it to hoard a fuck ton of data on you. But being able to sit down and make your screen massive by pulling the AR window is pretty cool. You can basically watch your media anywhere.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

If sony were smart they would be throwing money at Palworld and Helldivers VR modes.

If.

 

[Love Is Blue]

FFX is right behind it in popularity. People still want X-3/X-0.

Today I will remind them

They explore the forest hoping to find a clue on how to return home when a ball rolls towards them. Tidus mistakes it as a blitzball and runs towards it while looking around for its owner. It explodes, killing Tidus and Yuna passes out from the shock.

I bought the PS5 recently and unfortunately the only game I've been able to really enjoy is the Demon Souls remake. The rest of the "sony exclusives" honestly are just far too much like big budget movies for me to enjoy.

Someone in the Apple thread over on the Multimedia forum said that apparently the resolution's not super great, or at least not as great as it should be for a $3500 device.

So... like a phone?

I can't believe it's already been twelve years since the Oculus Rift. Holy moly. And yeah, I've never seen such an overhyped technology with such little evolution, either. Back when Oculus was new, I was talking about how I wanted to see VR gloves come out, where you slip your hands in them and they can detect every tiny finger twitch and every bend of your knuckles with perfect precision. I want to perform realistic heart surgery in VR with these gloves, complete with being able to use things like a scalpel by holding a real pencil, and the game treating it like a precision instrument.

But... no, that never happened. Seems like we never got close. Its been fifteen years since Xbox Kinect came out, and VR games still look like a slightly improved Kinect experience. Kinect struggled with, well, everything, but I would have thought that they'd have finger movement down after fifteen years. They don't. I haven't even heard about anyone trying. Fifteen years, dude. That's the same difference in time between the NES and PlayStation 2 releasing in America.

I'm sorry...$3500?

The only market where VR thrives is in the FPV drone racing market. Its use is clear and provides a novel way to experience RC model flight and has given rise to a whole new subset that is drone racing leagues. VR for video games doesn't really do that even in industry. VR headsets haven't replaced full cockpit simulators for flight training and they never will.

That's the starting price. It goes up if you don't want to be stuck with the base 256gb model, to the tune of $3700 for 512gb and $3900 for 1tb. And of course there's no way to upgrade your storage after purchase, lol.

I am glad I think VR headsets are total garbage. They do not work for me.

I've never seen one with high enough resolution that I don't find myself instinctively trying to squint down in-game objects more than a few feet away from me, no matter how I adjust the headset. Every game becomes a simulation of being severely near-sighted while looking at the world through a screen door.

$3900

I know people joke that expensive shit better "suck your dick at that price", but I'd need it to love me and let me know everything's gonna alright at $4k

Sorry, just wanted to hear what these lines sounded like with Garak's voice:

I mean at that price, if I won one, I'd just flip it immediately and use the cash to take care of some bills and get my car worked on because that is actual serious money. I might even take a weekend trip somewhere nice.
