Sony hate thread

[ChefKiss]

The Japanese team could have really helped make their case by not taking a decade to make and release a buggy and broken piece of shit in TLG. Ahh well, at least they finished it.

They didnt get 48 support teams drafted in to finish the game for them, funny that. (this isnt a random number, this is how many EXTERNAL teams helped with Horizon 2, not counting first party developers drafted in to help)
Tokyo Jungle made over 500x its budget back and Sony still told those developers to fuck off
Almost as if there's some kind of self serving interest going on there, same as how Concord can piss away $400m because he believed it was the future of playstation but TLG maybe losing a few million is a disaster
at least TLG was an interesting game, exactly what Horizon isnt

Literally ignoring the fact that the Vita exists at all.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Literally ignoring the fact that the Vita exists at all.

The Vita can't play PS5 games, came out a decade ago and lost all western support at least seven years ago. What is there to forget?

 

[30+GameOvers]

Tokyo Jungle was the shit, one of the games that made me wish I bought a PS3 instead of a 360.
Where the fuck are games like this on the PS4, let alone the PS5?

No, it’s there.

Sony and Microsoft have not competed with their own portable gaming hardware for years, following popular but ultimately unsuccessful products like the PS Vita and PlayStation Portable, which were discontinued a decade ago.

I wonder how many millions went to consultants, marketers, and in-house research and analysis to reach the eureka moment of "what if we made another handheld?"

and how many went to the idiots who thought that it was a good idea to make a WiiU tablet for the PS5

It wouldn't be a bad idea if it was incorporated in a fun and unique way like the Wii U did for many of it's titles. I think if the games were designed for multiplayer dual screen it'd fucking rule.

The Vita came out in 2011 and had lost all support from Sony and pretty much everyone else by 2015 or so.

It DOES have a niche modding community.

 

[Adash]

I wish someone would just jailbreak the PS5 already.

Already happened, however it requires a low firmware to softmod. Barely anyone does it, the only console that really has much modding support are Nintendo consoles, and that's only because there's more autists that care about Nintendo consoles than for PlayStation.

It DOES have a niche modding community.

That caused the price to shoot up because retro videogame youtuber #11204129741270942107941 decided to make a video on why it was the greatest console ever after modding it

 

[marvlouslie]

This new handheld is going to fail just like everything else. Sony's going to lose interest in supporting it after a couple of years (just like the Vita) and not even try and save it, and it'll be just lost to obscurity again.

 

[Bussy Catalog]

I would love for Sony or Microsoft to make a new handheld console but I'm sure it would be some retarded cloud device or be tethered to another console like PS Portal.

TLG also took almost 20 years to release, fucked the good will created from the SotC and pretty much stopped team ICO from making literally anything else.
Concord was a shitshow but lets not pretend the japs dindu nuffin when it came to vaporware and fucking around for years, just like with retro and metroid prime 4

Going from the 2019 reboot of Prime 4, which originally was not being helmed by them, its not like Prime 4 is going to take any longer than your average 2025 video game would have. Hell, its going to be done in less total time than the next 3D Mario game and nobody seems to claim that that is in development hell.

The aesthetics of the world and dinosaurs were great (pretiest water I'd seen on the PS4), the actual plot did nothing for me and Alloy even less. I probably could have soldiered on if the game had more melee options, but that's a me problem since I'm not too keen on reticule ranged combat.

But I'd started Nier at the same time and that game blew my mind. So going from a plot that had me completely hooked to whatever Horizon was trying to tell was a big step down. After that I went into yakuza 0 and Persona 5 and the propect of going back to Horizon never came up.

Yakuza 0, Persona 5, Nier Automata and Zelda Botw completely overshadowed Horizon Zero Dawn back in early 2017. Its not a bad game but I dont think it stood a chance to be relevant 7 years later. While the games I mentioned before do.

2017 seems like the last really good year and the one that suddenly made having a PS4 worth it (at least till all of the PS4 games you mentioned ended up on PC).

Horizon had the problem of in that year being the king of bland. It was basically a refined ubisoft game that looked kind of gay. Tsushima was the exact same thing but had much stronger aesthetics (and wasn't as surrounded by heavy competition) that allowed it to pop off proper instead of just... being there like Horizon.

 

[Product Placement]

Sony will never make something like the vita or psp again, they can't support two hardwares with games, hell their support for PS5 has been very week so far, so can't even support the 1 right now.

If I had to guess however, will come out around the PS6, and will be pretty much a cutdown portable PS6 and cost around the same as a basic PS6. Is a way for people to buy two bits of Sony hardware, rather than just the one, and will help them in markets like Japan.

Unsure if they could make a portable PS5 system at this point, so if something is to come out before the PS6. I would imagine it will be a Steam Deck like device, which can run PC games, but with a custom OS and will use a PSN store front, maybe also will have emulation for PS1/2/PSP games. Much cheaper and easier solution than to try and cut down a ps4 or ps5 after the fact into a portable console, but will lack a lot of the first party games and people will still have to wait for first party ports. Also knowing Sony, if they do this, doubt it will run Steam.

>The community-mandated price of a product increased to reflect increased demand

State lawmakers, companies prepare to push back against DEI, 'woke' initiatives

Since Soyny have their HQ in Kommifornia, this might be the start of the end of their buttugly female characters.

I really hope so. What lawmakers should also target is higher up the chain, ESG. Prevent investment firms like BlackRock from forcing or incentivizing companies to create propaganda.

Going from the 2019 reboot of Prime 4, which originally was not being helmed by them, its not like Prime 4 is going to take any longer than your average 2025 video game would have. Hell, its going to be done in less total time than the next 3D Mario game and nobody seems to claim that that is in development hell.

Mario is probably already done and just sitting there waiting for a Switch 2 release, whereas Metroid did seem to be going through development hell.
