Sony hate thread

[Joey-The-Chud]

I fucking HATE this "Pro" console refresh trend and I hate it even more when they demand $700 Burgerbux plus separate disc drive plus tax plus tip. This industry cannot crater fast enough. Take me back to 2003.

Back in the 90s Sega attempted the first "Pro" model refresh with the 32X, everyone laughed and bought a PSX instead.

Unfortunately modern society is full of retards who keep falling for the Hype Cycle and buy every nu product announced which is why Pro models are now successful ( PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, Switch Oled) , and frankly I have no doubt that the retarded masses are going to love paying 800€ for this thing ( 950€ if you want the full package with the Blue Ray and vertical stand that are now sold separately ).

 

[Incecticyder]

I was absolutely right in my prediction. PS3 price flashbacks purely for better graphics. The digital-only part is beyond parody so no one but the biggest Sony haters could predict it.

 

[Starved Artist]

No disc drive.
Still no backwards compatibility, PS3 Purchases ported forward ( BECAUSE YOU NEED TO PAY FOR PSN PREMIUM MAX TIER TO PLAY A PS3 EMULATED VERSION OF THE PS3 YOU ALREADY OWN.)
No games for anyone who actually likes the games Sony used to make.
Like motherfuckers. You'll re-release and remaster fucking the Last of Us, THREE TIMES IN TEN YEARS BUT LEGEND OF DRAGOON? APE ESCAPE? FUCKING NOTHING. WE WERE BLESSED THEY DID SOMETHING WITH WARHAWKS

YOU CUNTS WILL CREATE AN ENTIRE VIRTUAL DIORAMA ABOUT JUMPING FLASH BUT WON'T RELEASE A JUMPING FLASH GAME FOR FUCKING TWENTY YEARS?

The Reptilians that run Sony are fucking retarded, but the guys who keep throwing money at them are even more so.

 

[Ibanez RG 350EX]

$700USD for a fucking mid-season refresh console they can lick pouch. A fucking mid-spec gaming PC costs less and performs more.

My mid-spec PC was considerably less than $700 this year and when I realized there are virtually no modern games worth playing, at least I could still use it for all the other PC stuff I do.

Without hyperbole, I just don't understand who consoles are for anymore.

 

[A Cardboard Box]

the fuck does Sony have as a backup?

Are we talking about Sony as a company, Sony as game devs, or the PlayStation console specifically? Sony is bigly into consumer electronics that have nothing to do with the PlayStation, and they also have their movie subsidiary. They're a legit Zaibatsu and will never go under.

As for game development, they make a lot of extremely popular normie shit. For example, the newest Spider Man game that came out this year was the best selling first party Sony title ever. They also make decent mid budget stuff for the Japanese market specifically. This year Rise of the Ronin came out and sold very well in Japan. They also make the God of War games and publish other successful shit like Helldivers. I don't think they'll have any problems keeping the developer doors open, even if they cut back on original IPs and trim the fat from their studio rosters

As for PlayStation specifically? Yeah idk man. I doubt that the PlayStation will ever really die, but it might become basically irrelevant. It's my opinion that the stubborn Japs that run Sony won't ever cut the console division, and will even run the console division at a loss and subsidize it with profits from other divisions, just to stay in the market. That being said, who knows? They could say fuck it and axe the entire thing or get their head out of their ass and make a genuinely good console and sell a quarter billion units next generation.

 

[Nobunaga]

Absolute lunacy that the only competent sony arm is the fucking music segment.
You know, the guys who murdered MJ just so they could obtain the beatles rights and make Prince look sane with how overzealous they are about their music

 

[The Lawgiver]

700 dollars? I wipe my ass with 700 dollars!

Daily reminder the pstriple still got an active enough userbase.

Ps5 status?
STANDARD FUCKING VERSION: $300-$500 FLUCTUATING
DISKLESS FAST LOADTIME VERSION $700
ONE FUCKNG Controller: NEARLY $100 bumped up new price!
sub service to connect to your own fucking ISP internet: NEARLY $100 bumped up price within the last year or 2! ALSO PAYMENT PLANS TO PAY MORE!
ONE FUCKING GAME: $80 AT MINIMUM!

Yeah no wonder people still just buy and use the ps4 when they want modern games lmao.
Oh also speaking of which the digital ports of a good number of ps2 games are fucking broken on ps5 for some reason to nightmare degrees and they never fixed it.

The Reptilians that run Sony are fucking retarded, but the guys who keep throwing money at them are even more so.

it's that west coast corpo /government and investor funding brainrot in action.

Absolute lunacy that the only competent sony arm is the fucking music segment.

They're complete fucking scum too but not the same type and make.

Did the Ouya sell more units than the Virtualboy?

The Ouya was more similar to the steamdeck IIRC than this shit. Online store/downloading games but also able to do shit to the internals or something? There was a reason the ouya got funded and produced despite selling like shit after going into production from what i remember.
I'd call the current model of things more basing shit off the google stadia because that seems to be what copanies have been gradually trying to push towards for some time. All digital, required internet access, fee for internet and the game's a subscription based service.

They're a legit Zaibatsu and will never go under.

Sony lost Zaibatsu status a while ago when they sold off the Chemical , Production and Insurance portion of the company. Moving to America and handing the keys to Americans really didn't help.

 

[The Last Stand]

There's more original comments about this PS5 Pro than the PS5 has any original games.

The new cope from Sonyfags is "You're pour if you can' afford this" and "for the price:power, it's well worth it!", missing on the fact that people can afford, they just choose not to because they have a brain. The power on paper maybe worth it, but I like to play GAMES with my GAMES CONSOLE.

Doesn't ever current generation game now need to adjust for the Xbox Series S? That console is weaker than the base PS5/Series X.

You can literally make a PC that can edit 4K video, 10 bit color (using proxies), process audio like it's nothing and edit full 8K RAW images.
Just the thought of paying for hardware that does non of that in that price range gives me a headache, like you have to be unironically medically brain damaged to come to the "conclusion" that you are going to pay for this.

 

[Ibanez RG 350EX]

get their head out of their ass and make a genuinely good console and sell a quarter billion units next generation.

I don't know how you make a "genuinely good console" in current year.

You can't differentiate on hardware because the only cost-effective architecture is just an AMD PC and you can't differentiate on software because even your crown jewel first-party stuff ends up multi-platform to squeeze those last few dollars out and keep the corporate ship afloat.

Here's what it looked like for the quarter ending June 30. Still with financials, etc. I think the spin-off date is for 80% in 2025.

$700USD for a fucking mid-season refresh console they can lick pouch. A fucking mid-spec gaming PC costs less and performs more.

Most people would probably need to pay at least $600 to get a used 3700X + RX 6800, AM4 motherboard, case, RAM, PSU, etc. The PS5 Pro GPU is not merely RDNA2 but some custom hybrid of RDNA3/3.5 and RDNA4, due to the raytracing uplift. AMD could release some RDNA4 midrange GPU this year that ends up being a better direct comparison. NPU-powered PiSSeR upscaling may also be a consideration, but it needs to be reviewed. Maybe it will become the basis for AMD's FSR4.

What you get with the PC build is freedom, and a lot more money saved down the line from having a greater choice of game storefronts, and of course the ability to pirate and emulate. And you get games.

IIRC the PlayStation 2 was hacked using a disc drive related vulnerability. Another good reason not to bother with digital-only consoles: one less attack vector.

Niggers who only play games don't need those features.

Since I stopped playing vidya, a $100 desktop computer with integrated graphics is fine for me, and I can add a GPU later to do more.

 

[Broseph]

Is this the Playstation 5 or Paystation 5? It's clear at this point Sony has no regard for customer satisfaction, and have the mindset of "they'll eat up whatever we shit out". Hopefully the sales of this will be so disastrous that they have to start porting Astro and DemonSouls to PC.

The head of Team Asobi already said he wants to port Astro Bot to PC.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

For example, the newest Spider Man game that came out this year was the best selling first party Sony title ever

It was bundled to hell and back

Doesn't ever current generation game now need to adjust for the Xbox Series S? That console is weaker than the base PS5/Series X.

Good point. Is GTA6 going to launch on Series S?

Unironically, spider man 2 probably didn't make money due to the utter retardation of the deal sony signed with disney. Not only did most of those copies sony "sold" come in bundles, Sony has to pay disney massive share of the price of the ps5 itself to disney for every marvel property they sell as a bundle.

 

[The Last Stand]

Good point. Is GTA6 going to launch on Series S?

It has to. All Xbox Series games have to work between both SKUs.

 

[Vyse Inglebard]

Methinks that the gaming industry is trying to condition the consumer away from physical media. Or, rather, general ownership.

Lol, imagine paying what is essentially one to two months of rent just to play specifically one or two games,

>$880
>1-2 months rent
Where tf do you live? Asking for a friend

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

Third Party Faggots: "Our games can't take advantage of power because the Series S exists."

Sony: *releases over priced 8K piece of shit like fucking retards*
