Sony hate thread

[Chapalapachapa]

Seen plenty of reactions to the trailer from clueless people that go: (most blatant Guardians of the Galaxy knockoff in existence) Hmmmm, getting a lot of Cowbop Bebop vibes from this…

The bits where they "reference" Akira come off like the typical jingling-keys sort of references that are only there to make people soy out over it "IT'S LIKE THE CD JUKEBOX FROM AKIRA! I GET IT!" Will there be a "bike slide" reference later?!? The game looks like it will be full of the shallowest "I RECOGNIZE THAT" allusions to other media without any substantial aesthetic inspiration. The same goes for a lot of the really horrible "Remember Le Retraux Eighties?" sludge that's been released in games, film, comics, etc. for the past few years, that are just full of surface-level ham-handed references: "OH WOW ITS JUST LIKE THAT THING IN MY VAPORWAVE REMIXS ON YOUTUBE" you know, not actually drawing real aesthetic and thematic inspiration instead of "WE REFERENCED THAT ONE SHOT, DID YOU GET IT?????"

How the fuck the only Game that got the synthwave right was Ruiner. Even that shit Cp77 didnt do anything with the setting besides some bitch ass "corpos are le bad". What the fuck is wrong with devs

That bitch sucking on the straw is the most digusting thing I have ever seen. It actually makes me almost want to gag. Holy fuck it's ugly

It seemed like it was trying to ape the Shazam meme while failing miserably. Aside from it being absolutely disgusting, how long has that coke been abandoned on that dashboard?

They don't understand that when Shazamposting became a thing over Cyberpunk 2077 pre-release, it was mocking the missing features and lowered expectations that people were coping about.

I honestly don't think the reference is intentional, but if it somehow is, why would they even reference a meme that's near-unanimously used negatively?

 

[Nameless One]

The majority of gamers are not woketards or faggots. Who the fuck are these games actually for?

For the developers as Tim Cain (one of the fallout creators) (a fag) says. Games nowadays are made for the game devs or profit.

I would agree that the reference is unintentional, if only because Cuckmann and the troons on Bluesky and gamingcirclejerk would sooner engage in actual self flagellation and reduce themselves to near death than use/reference a meme that started on 4chan.

Say it with me guys:

The Intergalactic Baboon is not a meme!



We need to bring this fad back.

 

[M3xus]

I think the only game where I played a "bald space chick" and actually had fun was Chorus, but that was a space shooter where you had crazy space-magic to complement your fighter's weapons. After seeing the trailer for Intergalactic, I don't even see that kind of hook.

Some are trying to defend the decision to make the heroine the way she was.

This makes it even worse, Alien 3 sucks. Only good thing was the Runner Xenomorph.

 

[Doctor of Autism]

I wonder what the trailer reaction would have been if the character was replaced by Chad Thundercock sucking on a cigar, and the cunt on the screen was a wise old mentor man.

The only good part is that people will actually criticize it for shit it deserves to be criticized for instead of just grifters making it all about the MC's boring design

But I think it would still be hated since it would come off just as tryhard and cringe, could also potentially be at the levels of the edgelord DMC reboot.

Honestly I'm sick to death of these cringeworthy science fiction games. Like it feels like the laziest genre to make a big video game in.

Phoneposting, but another one trying to defend the ND protagonist.

What if Sony actually decides to just say fuck it and cancels this game since they know there is no way in hell that they're going to break even with this slop? I mean considering they canceled that Last of Us multiplayer game that was in development for about as long as this dumpster fire has been...

Herman Hulst - the same guy who cancelled TLoU:Factions because it was going to piss on Concord, also signed-off on concord and this slop. Hulst is the wokest wankstain in Sony at the moment and while he is in charge, he will run the brand into the ground in ways never thought possible.

In the two years he has been running the show, we have seen two consecutive years of the lowest hardware and software sales, 1 exclusive game (Astrobot), a throng of games go to PC and woke cancer across the board.
Hulst said Killzone will never be back on Playstation and outright dismissed another game or remaster, saying GG is focusing on horizon..He launched a remaster that flopped and gave the lego game to Nintendo.

TL;DR Hulst and Druckman will be sucking each other off at Sony HQ.

Remember when the PS5 logo at CES got millions of views in 24 hours? Remember the excitement over the launch of the console, the positive feedback on tweets and youtube?
Back then, people knew Sony still meant quality, thanks to the PS4.

If these trailers are receiving so little feedback for a SONY exclusive NAUGHTY DOG new IP, then Sony are way beyond fucked.

I'll be surprised if anyone even gives a fuck about this game by the time it releases.

Never underestimate the normies, blind fanboys and xbot immigrants.

Never underestimate the normies, blind fanboys and xbot immigrants.

The normies are done. They're playing CoD and Fifa. The PS5PRO sales were for 'keeping-up-with-the-Jones's'. PISSR has been a disaster and is brushed under the carpet. £700 for a console that doesn't play PS5 games any better. (I'll bet Intergasloptic doesn't have a PS5PRO patch).

The normies want, and I quote "a box that just plays all of my games. Why do I need a Playstation and an xbox when I just want to play cod or fifa? One box would be great".

Normies want a Steambox. Normies don't want to play fag-simulator where people laugh at them. No one wants to admit they're playing the socially unpopular game.

What about the xbot immigrants.??

None existent.

Last gen, the PS4 won over the Xbox 360 fans that were sick of the casual, normie-slop fed to them by Microsoft. Sony took around 50 million customers from Xbox.

Now, in the fifth year of Current Gen, Sony has 60 million console sales, with xbox racking up 25 million. Which means around 70 million (160 million PS360 owners and 150~ million Xb1/PS4 owners) are either refusing to upgrade to the PS5 (50% of psn users are STILL using the PS4*) or have Switch-ed (see what I did there?) to Nintendo.

The outlook by all measureable metrics, is not looking good for Sony. In fact, they're on course for a Microsoft-level crash in terms of customers.
The Steambox will kill them, the Switch 2 will kill them, their lack of output and abysmal quality will kill them, an expensive PS6 in 2027 will kill them.

*Added fun - The PS4 will be shut down at some point, possibly around 2030, unless Sony force an upgrade and do it sooner. Either way, it's a PR nightmare waiting to bite them in the arse.

Not to sound like a queer or nothin, but that concept is giving me an existential crisis.

PS3 still has free online connectivity and plenty of code niggers keeping it all together. You can still play armored core for answer free online and demon's souls. My hope is that one day we all just retreat into the comfort and safety of a console dark age.

That's all of our hopes, brother. Before it can happen, we must crash the industry with no survivors. Neil Druckman will be the one staying in the plane

It is very interesting to see Sony and Microsoft imploding themselves just in time for valve to release the steam box.

Valve has a pretty good sense of timing, even if they are incapable of counting to 3.

I wish we could get something like the PS2 again. That was quite the era, where each console (even Xbox lmao) had their own games. Oh well. I'm just nostalgiafagging I guess.

The funniest part is that the PS2 and PS3 sold so well because they were cheap DVD and Blu-ray players, respectively. PS1 was a cheap CD player before most owned them, as well. PS3 had 3D Blu-ray support.
Then Sony abandoned physical media, didn't bother with 4k blu-ray support and now is focusing on aiming at digital only - despite their biggest markets being those that supported physical.

It's like, Sony did everything right for 25 years, then thought "nah, fuck this, lets chase Microsoft off of a cliff".

The PS3 days are counted since soon there will be no tv that will display 30fps correct. All new tv have 40fps as minimum, and when all the LCD tvs are gone all PS3 games will be unplayable mess that will give you a stroke if you watch to long.
