PlayStation fans are the kinds of people who would make their sister, who they claim is their girlfriend, ride in the back seat while their PS5 rides up front, with a couple of games and a controller perfectly placed for a Reddit photoshoot.

This whole thing doesn't even make sense, the system would be safer and you'd have more room to put everything down so it doesn't fly off the seat if you put it in the back, or even better, the trunk, where niggers won't see it and try to rob you.
 
An online spiderman game has leaked.


Following the gargantuan Insomniac leak that hit the company hard a couple of months ago, content is still being pulled out that’s revealing new, in-development, and cancelled projects, products, and concepts. Most recently, users stumbled upon a trailer for the cancelled multiplayer game, Spider-Man: The Great Web, and promptly leaked it online.

This was supposed to be a five-person multiplayer game built on a live service foundation, but it was struck down by Sony – as revealed by the Insomniac leaks. In the leaked trailer for The Great Web – which looks incredibly polished – we get a glimpse at what that product might have looked like.

Rumoured to be one of the cancelled GAAS games.
Sony should just release this as a free-to-play game, whatever state it is in, and let people dick around in a 5vs5 sandbox. If it's popular, flesh it out and sell it as a game.

Spending years making something, just to flush it down the drain, is retarded.

That actually looks better than I expected it to be. You're right, they should just release it as DLC for the next game if it's this polished.

Or as a freebie/teaser. Launch it for free on the highest tier of PSN, get some good word of mouth going, if it seems like a good game then support it with DLC,

I think the problem with GAAS is that they're full games, waiting to see if they succeed of fail, like Suicide Squad. What companies should do is release a bare-minimum game with just a couple of levels and expand from there.

BF did something similar with 1942 on Xbox360 (I think that was the title). 3 maps and free-to-play multiplayer to dick around in between BF releases.
 
  • Game (UK) are doing a significant price-drop for the PS5 slim editions starting Friday. (£520 for the bundle dropping to £430 with an extra controller or £420 for 2 games).
  • Disc-drive expansion are £100(!!!!!!!!!!!!) each.

  • Microsoft are flogging XSX for £460 with a game and the Series S for £250.
They do not stock OG PS5 hardware, so I've no idea where that inventory has gone.

Take the following as a pinch of salt and words from a wagie. Though he did seem like a normie so it's an insight into the normie minds in regards to consoles.

  • One of the workers there told me that the PS5Pro is launching at the end of the year and the XSX-X/redesign is surprising dropping in the summer.
  • The Wagie did agree and even say that there are no games for either console and they're not worth buying at their current price.
  • If the people hired to sell these consoles are saying that, then the normies must know these are pieces of shit.
  • Wagie also said this was going to be a short generation and expects PS6 by 2026 though agreed there's no point in upping the power if there are no games.


Microsoft are not budging on their prices. Game are flogging XSX for £460 with a game and the Series S for £250.
From what I can understand, Game, and maybe other retailers, are being told to push the Series S over other consoles. Maybe to clear out the channels ready for a new SKU.

What is strange, is that Microsoft haven't launched a new SKU, which going by their history is not the norm. They usually have several SKU/variants by this point.

One last thought; how the fuck are these consoles, with no games, still more expensive 3 years into the generation, than they were at launch. What a fucking disaster this console generation is.

It worked great.

B-tier gaming has died as the profitability of the industry tanked. Release cheap games, if they're good give them a yuge budget for their sequel. Sony used to do just that.

Memba resogun and how it spawned Returnal?

doesn't work with live service games, because inevitably "gamers" will complain about MUH CONTENT MUH ENDGAME MUH UPDATES and shit.
live-service is basically like esports 2.0, if try to make it the focus you already fucked up.

ironically that live-service spiderman game could've worked since it came from the foundation of a somewhat solid singleplayer game, just transplant that into an online multiplayer environment and milk it.
so of course sony canceled it :story:

That's because GaaS are sold as full titles. Sell it as "here's some shit to dick about with in between the full titles"

Yep. Sony retardation at its finest. They have no idea what they're doing in the industry anymore.

It's yet another certified Soyny moment. They're one of the most unprofessional, even inconsistent, pieces of the media industry bar none

people will devour it and move on, that's why that strategy doesn't work with live service games where you want the exact opposite (people sticking around to spend the money on your game, not elsewhere).
you can see that effect in valheim or even palworld, HUGE fotm for 2-3 weeks, than drop off while the mass of people moves on to other games. those companies most likely still make bank, but it's not a process you can repeat. sony would be able to pull it off once, maybe 2-3 times if they exploit their walled in console demographic. it wouldn't be a longterm successful strategy. not to mention you can't just decide to play something online on playstation, you get fleeced with plus.

the only other way to stem that would be to let the player provide their own content in some form, however that's "problematic" and "toxic" which is why it won't happen in 2024 and is another reason anyone that tried it didn't succeed.

I disagree.

Let's take TLoU as an example. The mainline game comes out, then knowing there's a 5 year turnaround on the sequel (because reasons, hur dur long time to make games), in between that you offer TLoU online multiplayer.

It's a game knocked together in a month (GoW1 MP was made in a month...) and people have 3 maps to play. It gets big figures for 3 weeks then starts to drop off. To keep people interested, more levels are made, a new gun, a new character or skin. Rinse and repeat.

Sony wouldn't need 4 version of TLoU online, it just needs 1. Do the same with each franchise; GOW could be a fighting game, Horizon could be a Monster Hunter rip-off. Use the assets in the game that already exist, stitch together a multi-player, or at the worst, a co-op experience and sell bits of levels and skin on a regular basis.
Bonus: The online game can strip away any wokeness or fag-messaging because there's no story, just death and victors.

This worked so well for WoW and GTA that the devs gave up making other games, which was a retarded idea. Keep the cadence of releases, the flag-ship titles, preferably single-player only to not burn-out the online and to reduce cost.

That's going to keep interest in a franchise, while making profit, more than 1 game every 5 years. And oh, the game is chock full of pervasive and invasive DLC, MTX and P2W options.

A fresh, fun, and simple gimmick, plus must-have exclusives. That's enough for the casual audience. For everyone else, better graphics and hopefully more/improved features too.

They have to be careful about what they make cross-generational, they need to support the Switch but they also need to wean people off of it faster than Sony did with PS4. If it was up to me I'd just follow the 3DS' plan but for Switch.

I don't disagree but what do you mean by the 3DS plan?

Nintendo released a bunch of lite titles and remakes to pad out the 3DS lineup post-Switch. It kept the system going, but not in a major way. From what I recall, we got FE Echoes, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Mario Sports, Kirby Battle Royal, Luigi's Mansion, Ever Oasisi and a few other not so notable games. Meanwhile, the Switch was given a massive first year. Given that Switch 2 will likely have backwards capabilities, just filling out a lineup with experimental spin-offs/ new IPs and maybe 1-2 new remakes, likely something like FE Awakening HD, will give both systems some legs to stand on this year and next.
SSj_Ness said:
I'm hoping for a new IP but yeah, their first year should be packed with their big name franchises.

Taking a wild guess, I think 3D Mario is a guarantee for launch since Zelda will likely be MIA for another year or two. Splatoon 4 will definitely happen as Nintendo will want to get the online players early when the system is hot. Kirby and Fire Emblem also seem highly likely for a first year. Maybe also a new WarioWare to take advantage of any gimmicks, since that franchise is releasing a bit more regularly now. Then likely some kind of new IP given that their previous systems launched with one: Pikmin (GC), Wii Sports (Wii), Nintendo Land (Wii U), 1,2 Switch & ARMS (Switch).

Mario Kart is questionable to me given the DLC and I doubt Smash for a year or two. Honestly, wouldn't be surprised if Mario Kart and Smash are reserved for year two, while Zelda and Animal Crossing are year 3.
