whatever I feel like said:
Saros last year? Its due out in 3 months. They also had Bungie reveal a bunch of destiny stuff and revealed the Cory Balrog and Bungie spinoff studios' names, for as much as that is worth.

They've got a sequel to returnal and some studio name reveals?
Those kinds of reveals were footnotes in a magazine back in the day.
How can sonyfags call this the best generation?

When Gaben dies and Steam inevitably goes down the gutter because of it then the entire gaming industry will be total AIDs (hopefully this is far enough in the future that the downfall of gaming is the least of our concerns).

Isn't Astro Bot just a bing bing wahoo copy that has PlayStation nostalgia-bait plastered on it? If so that's pretty pathetic even for sonytards.

Every now and then there’s a game that comes out that garners/is targeted to a “I hate rap, but I love eminem” customer base (many will also do that annoying thing where they pretend this one is magically different and has contempt for other members of its genre, usually by completely misrepresenting the quality/characteristics of the respective genre of which they’ve never likely played a single member). Astro Bot is an alright Nintendo baby-game platformer, the only reason someone would glaze it is if it were their first platformer ever (Note: probably true for most nu-Sony fans, and with all that said Astro Bot still rapes the rest of Sony’s movie game output and all the other AAA shovelware). The most recent gaming example of this phenomena is Expedition 33.
 
Sorry to the people who saw this thread bumped thinking something had happened, nothing has happened.

When's the next milestone from Sony? A game, an announcement an end of quarter financial review?
 
The PSVita came out at an interesting time. It addressed two major issues from the PSP: dual analog sticks and comparable power to then current home consoles. Also, smartphones and mobile gaming was beginning to gallivant into the casual gaming market. It wanted to be a premium gaming first console and be proactive against smartphones (touch screen and 3G plans) but alas, it couldn't compete.

When did it come out, 2011-2012? I saw ONE person with a PSVita. It was fine, but just too expensive to justify a purchase. Ergo, many developers/publishers noped out of creating games for it. Even its Remote Play connectivity with PS4 was underused. It was just a novelty that was too little too late thanks to changing trends in technology and gaming.

I don't think this was the case.

If you compare it to the success of the NDS, the lesser success of the 3DS and the massive success of the Switch, it's obvious that it's not mobile phones that were the issues.

Sony simply didn't bother supporting the Vita to the same degree they did the PSP. They got cold feet and gave up soon after launch and let the system wither away, likely as a direct result of the PSP's loss against the NDS.

Few first-party exclusives, no killer app, no stronger marketing push, no attempt to court third-party developers to make games for the system.
 
I disagree, the underperformance of 3DS and death of Vita shows that it was exactly the dominance of mobile phones that killed them. The DS especially had a huge normie userbase that the 3DS only partially continued, due to those people switching to smart phone gaming. Switch went big and won, then, but it did so at the expense of being a full-fledged home console that could also be carried with you. And one that had all of Nintendo's development resources poured into it. Sony just wasn't going to be able to support PS4 and PSV at the same time in the way that Nintendo supported the Switch. Vita was thus doomed to die.
 
Main problem is that when Sony did support the Vita early on it was with games that aren't suited at all for playing on the go. Nobody wants to play a cinematic game like Uncharted or an FPS like Killzone on such a small form factor, even if they looked close enough to PS3 quality when viewed on a portable screen. The only first party game off the top of my head that suited short session playtime was Tearaway and that's not exactly a killer app worth buying a system over
 
Had a flick through a few gaming sites. It seems that the industry is a big downturn but NS2 is the fastest selling hardware in US history in numbers and dollar value, beating out the PS5.

Some accusations that PS5 figures are massaged upwards and are currently terrible - something we've known on here for a while.

Biggest publisher on PS is Microsoft, which is embarrassing for both, more so for Sony.

Looks like the console industry is fucked and I cannot see a way for it to improve, or what will improve it, other than a collapse and reset.

Gabe Newell has retired for around a decade now and Steam has already been compromised by trannies and soyllennials in case you haven't noticed from the overall design change.
Nothing will happen once he kicks the bucket. He's just another incompetent middleman that stopped caring about games since Dota 2 launched, Steam will keep running the same way it has done way after he's gone

Persona 4 Golden seemed to be the main thing people got the Vita for as far as third party games go. Fixing issues with the original Persona 4 is great, but it's not buy a Vita great.

Nintendo is gonna end up worse than Sony when going woke, after all most of their player base are LGBTQ, woman and soyboys, and now Nintendo also have a woke liberal woman running the show in NOA. It all is building up to become a woke disaster.
