I hope it flops and Nintendo learns a valuable lesson.

I'm not expecting anything special. They might not necessarily pozz it up, but it's definitely going to be a commercial experience for franchise pigs. No ambitious artsy fartsy stuff.

Zelda peaked with OoT and Majora. Nintendo won't ever re-bottle that lightning. The 3DS Remakes and their censorship just go to show me Nintendo isn't taking any risks anymore and has actually backpedaled on what made its games great in the past. This isn't to say modern Nintendo games aren't fun because many of them still are, but they're not memorable. That's what I think the film will be. Fun, but easily forgotten.

It is but IMO what's happening is demographics: there are fewer young people than there were decades prior. The age of those playing games is getting older and naturally you have less time to focus on games.

Handhelds were much cheaper.

Game Boy Color launched at $79, even factoring in inflation that's $140 today. Buy 3 one for each kid level of cheap.

Software sales show that's obviously not true:

I know this is an euro duo, but I played the first XXL game on PS2 (called "kicks buttix", or something) and it was surprisingly fun. Although the GBA version is kinda fucked with that whole fish-eye lense perspective

Even before that I wasn't a stranger to them. They had a Genesis game called "The Great Rescue" and that was pretty lit as well.

The switch is scratching the portable itch but as a home console, it could be selling Wii U numbers for all we know. That's not to take credit away from Nintendo, it's just that you can't say it is or isn't selling well as a home console.

The fact that the Switch Lite remains a small fraction of overall sales should be indicative that the home console element remains an extremely important component.

There's an old YouTube channel called Ember Lab that produced an animated film 6 years ago for Majora's Mask.

Seems to me full CGI would be the way to go, given the success of the Mario and Sonic movies. No idea why they decided to go live action for this one.
Click to expand...
They wanted to go live-action because, and I'm assuming here so I could be wrong here, they want to be more "dark and gritty" and be "all serious" or some stupid shit. I mean look what they did with Legend of Chun-Li, the Assassin's Creed movie, Tomb Raider 2018, RE: Welcome to Racoon City, etc. They failed horribly to capture what made these respective game franchises worked.

Usually by "dark and gritty" they just mean they want adults to feel less self-conscious about watching something ordinarily directed at children.

No whats happening is games are shit.
Games that lecture you with woke shit and try to rob you as they bore you.
People still want consoles and videogames, they just don't want the absolute piles of shit put together by diversity hires.
Companies are trying to make live service games and they either don't release or instantly fall on their face and die. They hire more monetization specialists to try and rob you than creative people who actually want to make something good.
Games are made for some mythical crippled black tranny who wants to spend $400,000 on weed skins for guns. They complete ignore what fans say over and over, replying to concerns with sassy black woman gifs on twitter when they arent responding with outright hatred for people who actually buy videogames.
Anyone who actually makes actual games that just want to be a game that you buy and play is pretty much doing fine.

I like what someone here said previously that it's not even about making good games anymore. Games are just huge advertisements that keep these corporations alive. It doesn't matter if the games are bad, what matters is you still know Sony exists and it's a whole lot bigger than you are. It doesn't matter if Spider-Man 2 is bad, what matters is obsessive fanboys can put another colored box on bookshelf and talk to all their friends about their ever going game collection. Bow to the altar, plebs. Buy your playstations, buy your spidermans, your ghostbusters, etc. Stop thunking and just get hype for next product. You know that's how these fanboys are. It's religion.

True, but it wasn't out for as long, and there's no OLED version.
Click to expand...
Its a small fraction of weekly sales despite costing less money and that held true even before the OLED's release. Furthermore, given that the OLED, itself, has failed to become the dominant version its pretty obvious that while most people use it as a hybrid there is a massive quantity that don't care about screen quality but do care about having full tv access. The Lite is a shit product for nobody that was only forced upon us to shut Gamefreak up. And it can't even fit in your pocket.

The XSX is a shit console, with no games, held back by the retarded idea of the XSS. It has sold worse than expected by a mile and that won't be fixed anytime soon because the gaming industry is bleeding money and MS can't/won't reduce the price. Even as they increase the price of GP.

The switch is selling well, without a doubt, but it isn't selling well as a console. If you look at the historic sales of handhelds like the Gameboy, DS and PSP, you'll see that they sold tens of million at a time when gaming wasn't as popular as it is now.

The new dopamine hit for the normies is tiktok and soon, something will come along that allows people to tiktok together and that will be the final contraction that births a new direction for gaming industry.

If I could do it over I would not have bought the series X.
I've had a much better time with my PS5.

I'll agree with this somewhat.
I initially bought the switch lite thinking it's just going to be my second gaming device and I don't need tv connectivity.
I really didn't expect to enjoy the switch as much as it turned out.
Not even a year later I bought an OLED switch because I wanted to play it on TV.

@PaladinBoo you probably have some better insight into this, but what I've come to discover is when a female writer needs needs to justify why a character is a maniac, she retreats into didactics. She preemptively tries to convince her readers or her audience that the weird proclivities the character has are normal, and you just need to accept it.

Ultimately it strikes me that these female writers feel guilty as fuck for some of the smut they produce and are desperate not only to find an excuse for it, but to bring everyone else on board.

And, like cockroaches to a flashlight, they scatter once exposed.

I don't think they are guilty for the smut they produced. Rather, they are trying to convince others, especially men, that they are normal. It is them and their male gaze that are wrong. Modern feminism is about castrating men for behavior that was normal 70 years ago. Men need to be gentled, tamed, and neutered. Ultimately I think this stems not just out of hate for men but fear of men. Nothing is worse for a woman then losing control. Especially losing control of a man. The thought of not being in control is scary for a woman which is why I think that is why many modern day feminists hate men. It is out of misplaced fear.

It was very interesting to see Blizzard go from "we have to remove all the female paintings from WoW and replace them with fruit bowls" to "here's Megan Fox to advertise Diablo 4".

Sign of the times but I think companies are now realizing that listening to women in HR with gender studies degrees and Larry "The Kike" Fink does not give them profits. Sex sells and that goes for both sexes. Why do you think Aquaman made a billon dollars? It was because women think Jason Momoa is hot and wanted to see him wet and shirtless. They could tell you fuck all about the movie but will say that they love looking at Jason Momoa throughout it. Gaming, despite how much devs today wish it weren't so, is a male dominated hobby. Men want to look at beautiful women. Put a beautiful and sexy woman on the cover and the game will sell like hot cakes. Not that hard to figure out.

It’s not too late to get dev mode on that Series X and emulate up to Wii and PS2 at 4K.

So instead of giving a free upgrade when moving to PS5, they forced people to pay for the Director's Cut to get that graphical upgrade on the PS5, barely over a year after GoT originally released.

That's an improper example. TLoU: Remastered was an enhanced port for the PS4 on account of the lack of backwards compatibility. The infrastructure between PS3 and PS4 is night and day. That benefits consumers that swapped from Xbox to PS after MS's flop with the Xbox One and its ludicrous DRM.

I can see a parallel between Sony's movie division and Sony's PlayStation IP with the direction they're doing.
