Sony hate thread

[Freelance Police]

You will never be a real console. You have no games, you have no exclusives, you have no disc drive. You are a mass-produced paper weight twisted by DEI into a crude mockery of gaming's perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Developers are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “shills” laugh at your deluxe edition behind closed doors.

Gamers are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed gamers to sniff out 30fps frauds with incredible efficiency. Even benchmarks that “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a gamer. Your lack of disc drive is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy home with you, he’ll turn tail and boot up Xbox Gamepass the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, Sweet Baby casting crew.

You will never make people happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the Switch 2 creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a PC, tie an ethernet cord, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Sony will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your internal name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a failed console is buried there. Your GPU will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is an image that is unmistakably AI-upscaled.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

What game was it that had like a week of early access only for players to see all their work/saves instantly wiped away with a day one with a mandatory retail bug patch?
Totally worth that extra money goys.

Star Wars Outlaws was the most recent one I heard about

Radirgy 2 also released on switch.

No one on the "far right" is complaining about Astro Bot because there is nothing to complain about.

Funny how with that fact in mind there's no journoscum push to defend the game and lament its lackluster performance by blaming NaZiS.

Rumors keep going around that Rockstar is actually going to charge $80 for GTA VI.

That'd be smart, they're probably sweating since GTA6 definitely has a much bigger budget than GTA5 despite releasing in a generation with mediocre console sales. Everyone who'd buy that shitty game will still buy it anyway, and they know it.

 

[A Cardboard Box]

you could actually buy any decent mid-high range PC (or even a Mini PC if you're a cheapskate) or laptop for the prices they're actually expecting you for a PS5 Pro, even more so with the disc drive and stand, probably even more so in the other regions where it's retardedly much more expensive like the UK or Japan.

For $700 not only could you buy better parts, but you could also cool them, so you get better performance from those parts. It's wild to me that consoles still have like a single shitty exhaust fan while everything is just stuffed in a plastic box, meanwhile even currently day shit builds are in a mesh front case with at least three unobstructed 120mm fans. Absolutely fucking wild.

You can easily get a 16" gaming laptop with a 4060 in it for $1000, or a 4070 in it for $1100, way more powerful than a console that is ~$800 with a far weaker CPU and GPU.

It's a shame to see how far Sony has fallen since the days of the PS2. Funny as hell, but still a shame. You would think someone at Sony would have learned the lesson by now, but who knows, maybe they have a humiliation fetish.

The ps2 was great in spite of sony, not because of them.

 

[SillySherman]

Didn't the 3DO do a similar thing in the 1990s price-wise, then crash and burn ?

 

[Gamepads]

There's not that many Xbox S players so I can see Rockstar telling them to take a hike. What is Microsoft going to do? Just not have GTA 6 on their platform?

Strictly speaking, it's the PS5 they have to match regardless.

Not too sure what's going on in their heads, but by their own requirements, apart from ray tracing, the games must have an identical feature set between PS5 and Pro. It can run at a higher resolution and/or framerate, but don't you dare add gameplay that's unique to the Pro. Or worse, a bug that only occurs on the Pro. That'll actually get your game axed.

Didn't the 3DO do a similar thing in the 1990s price-wise, then crash and burn ?

Not quite, they licensed the design to other companies, hence why you saw stuff like Panasonic or Goldstar 3DOs, and had dirt cheap game fees.
Of course, that meant the consoles were expensive as fuck since they weren't originally sold at a loss, and the third party support had no real quality to them due to being so cheap.

 

[Prokhor Zakharov]

I think this will help ensure that the Switch 2 comes in at around $400-450, they know people don't want to pay $700 for a console.

The NES in 1985 was $149.95 which is~$440 today, the SNES in 1991 was 199.99, which is ~$460 today, the N64 was $199.99, which is ~$400 today, the Wii was $249.99 which is ~$390 today, the Switch was $299.99 in 2017 which is ~$383 today. Nintendo has always made their consoles reasonable priced for the time. I don't see them breaking that trend.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

I think this will help ensure that the Switch 2 comes in at around $400-425, they know people don't want to pay so much for a console.

At that price it better be OLED by default.

 

[GeorgeFloydFentanylStash]

If the past few Call of Dutys and Starfield of all things taught me, it's that a FUCK TON of retards will pay a premium to have a week early access that's basically completely broken at launch.

Just like Ubisoft keeps selling those premium editions if their games for a $100 and to get a few days early on their games. Only to have their saves become useless.

T2 is watching all the anti consumer behavior of these companies and how much they make. You best believe they will incorporate them in GTA6.

I recently bought the new Astro Bot game and it made me sad whilst playing it. I saw no trans women, boss girl black women, people in wheel chairs. How the fuck am I supposed to sleep at night knowing this does not represent me even though I'm a straight while male! Even my wife's boyfriend had to laugh when I told him. Now I have to sit here without a game to play and listen to my wife orgasm.

Fuck you Sony!

 

[Prokhor Zakharov]

At that price it better be OLED by default.

It is, from what I understand.

The real question is: are they tripling down on HDMI 2.1? I find it extraordinarily bizarre that they just refuse to move to a more modern output.

What do you mean? Most TVs don't support Displayport, and HDMI 2.1 is the latest standard, it has had two minor updates, 2.1a, and 2.1b, but there is no higher revision of the main HDMI standard.

Gaming laptops are subpar. Just fork over for a desktop at that stage.

As I said, I was thinking in terms of a PC gamer. DP 2.1 is significantly better than HDMI 2.1, because I can daisychain all of my monitors together without losing anything, whereas HDMI doesn't have the bandwidth. In terms of console gaming with a single 4k TV, yeah HDMI is fine.

>1990's price-wise
Don't do this. $700 is expensive, inflation or no inflation.

Hasn't Ubisoft lost like half its market cap since June?

 

[Nobunaga]

It's been quite a while since I played Street Fighter V because that game was fucking shit but I don't remember there being a tranny in the game? Unless you're talking about that ridiculous gigatroon in SFVI?

Probably talking about Seth who isn't a tranny, just a genderless robot that they made an excuse to turn into a waifu because his original design was boring grey man with a giant spinning circle

 

[Baraka Obama]

If we're being fair $700 USD is $340 in 1995 USD. So expensive but only a bit more than the PS1 launched at.

But that console also aggressively went down in price in a few short years which does not happen any more. And if we're really being fair we'd look at other countries like Canada where we don't know the launch price but $1000 is likely which is $542 in 1995 CAD, or Japan where the price is 120,000 yen which would be 97,964 in 1994 yen.

That is a ma'am for sure.View attachment 6402656

Even the fucking robots are trannies now. Jesus. What a world we live in...
