>Buy exclusive rights to obscure random game in development hell from across the world
Oh I definitely agree.
I think the double down is a very under-rated strategy for console makers and Sony picked a popular and well-loved genre. Much better than publishing, say, a single platformer and thinking that all platformer fans are going to have to buy your console now.
Griffin's reply is pretty good:
Even today, Legacy titles, even ones they don't make anymore, are PS/Sony's sticking point. GT is a a great example. I won't sperg out on that, but the movie should be evidence enough
When you're that age everything has a certain signficance to it.
It was a great era for 3PS though, where massive GTA clones and stealth shooters roamed the land as cheap movie tie-ins soared overhead.
The amazing WOOcuss is a fake person who has no real position. His position floats to anything he thinks will get him clicks or views. His "arguments" if you can call them that are lifted directly from twitter posts. He's currently a Sony Pony but in a year or so he'll be an Xbot talking about the snowballed momentum of Microsoft and them being the only company able to survive financially in the new era of gaming.
Yeah, because their flagship franchises are going down the drain into nostalgia and unoriginality. Forza is the only one that is still going.
I get it, I was pretty hyped for that era in general initially too, but I'm way more into Jap games and in retrospect I really think with that generation they largely stumbled. I'm sure people who prefer western games like what you listed were well satisfied.
That's true, and is why I focused more on handhelds ever since. That's where the kinds of games I liked were in greater quantity & quality.
While the PS1, Dreamcast, etc. were the first eras for FPS, the PS2, PS3, OG Xbox and 360 consoles were the golden age of dudebro FPS games due to the likes of Halo, CoD, Battlefield, etc. being sold like absolute hotcakes. Even kart racing games were more successful than the likes of JRPGs
Only difference is, since the devs are Korean, the main female character is allowed to look actually attractive:
Welcome captured the essence of the PS1 games dialogue and scares in a bottle and brought 90s charm to It all. You're right about everything else though.
This man understands
I like it.
When was the last time that Sony showed the game?
The most lazy, cost effective way to ruin it would be to declare them transgender in a character bio or something.
Yeah if that was more than a year ago then yes, Sony has probably made a few requests. I'm saying this because Blue Protocol, a MMO that has been out for quite some time but not in the West because Amazon bought the publishing rights and they have been hard at work changing the female characters and removing classes for "current year western sensibilities".
I've personally never been much for JRPGs, most of my Japanese game enjoyment came from racing games like GT, TXR and Choro Q. That said unlike many of their fans I didn't let them influence me into becoming a "OMG THING BUT JAPAN" type fag
That would be like SquareEnix telling PlatinumGames to cover up 2B's design for Nier: Automata. The main character's striking design has become one of its biggest selling points. I don't think even Sony are that stupid, nor do I think the developers would get in bed with Sony if they asked them to make drastic changes.
