PS5 got jail broken, now we can play all the game
As a guy who follows the hacking scene I should say that it was hacked for years. We just hit a point where it can run actual PS5 games (previously JB allowed you to run and mod PS4 titles).
 
On the SNES vs Genesis sperging. I'm a snes kid for the most part and always thought the genesis sounded like ass but I did play the everliving fuck out of Sonic 3 and Contra Hard corps and both had absolute bangers.

I also played Ecco 2, thing made no sense to me, but the soundtrack and ambience is fascinating.

Basically, the Genesis had a very characteristic audio. It was hard to get use out of, but when it did, it's very much it's own.

Game developers back then: Chance of the game being made by people with passion for it: quite high

Game developers today: Chance of the developer seeing their job as a 9 to 5 : quite high
Chance of crunch-time: ensured for every project.
I hope developers get more apathetic towards the whole fucking developing side of games.
Pretty much. Palworld made this clear as day, Baldur's Gate 3 already showed that a few months ago as well, but Palworld being nip wrongthink has made their spergout go critical.

It's perfectly fine if anybody in the industry wants to just treat it as a 9 to 5, but don't get pissy when people call you out on halfassing it when the difference in results is night and day.
 
It's not where are the games. There is stuff to play

It's more like where are the new fresh IPs. Seems like we are stuck with Marvel games, the last of us and horizon zero dawn until we are dead.

fuck "brands". it's the equivalent of "making an e-sport game". either it happens because people want more or it doesn't, forcing it is just cringe (see: horizon).
 
Doesn't it make generate more revenue than film now? It's obvious why they're doing it, it's just too bad the effect it's had on gaming.
Sometimes, but not really. A lot of AAA devs have desperate to release interactive movies than actual games and for the past few years, they've been failures. Meanwhile, movies (99.9% of them being reboots, sequels, prequels or adaptations of IPs) have become more like infomercials of things that do not exist, especially when trying to turn into a "shared universe." They two have also been unprofitable in the past few years, especially last year
 
Movies also lost like half their income stream when DVDs got replaced by gay streaming servies.
Not just DVDs being replaced by stream, but even prior to that with Blu-Ray being the hot deal during the mid-2000s (HDDVD as well until it fizzled out the format wars by February 2008 as consumers were turning their heads towards Blu-Ray for home media sales).

I was there, gandalf.

Nobody cared about Blu Ray, just nerds.

I found this with 3 seconds of google searching and minimal fact ✅ but looks about right:

Exactly. I don't know where this rewritten history comes from that Blu-ray was this hot shit that completely blew HDDVD out of the water and everyone was sitting around watching Blu-rays at home. It was never that popular dudes. Trust me. I don't think I knew a single person who owned a stand alone Blu-ray player. I knew more people who still had VHS players in their homes. I remember seeing those combo Blu-ray/HDDVD players a few times, but that's it. I don't think I've ever actually watched anything on Blu-ray in my life.
