Sony hate thread

[Computer Guardian]

I'm being honest here, does the PS5 even have any exclusive offline single player first party games that the PC doesn't?

Quite literally the only "Exclusive" is just Astro Bot, which is also the Sony IP/Sony Third Party Graveyard game. Ghost of Yoei, which has the story of Last of Us 2, but in Feudal Japan is definitely going to PC eventually when they want to try to artificially pump up the sales of that game but Astro Bot making the same move officially would practically mean them admitting they fucked up the PlayStation brand hard enough to release a console with truly no games to call it's own.

Astrobot is fine, nothing more, nothing less, but I genuinely don't understand how someone can look at the sheer autofellatio present in that game and not cringe at least a little.

exclusives werent the point. never were. majority of purchases are 3rd party titles like cod and the sports games and ubislop. the exclusives are a plus, but were never the real selling point. but their exclusive titles that they did or do have are better than the xbox exclusives which basically dont exist anymore. even the more narrative focused titles still come out better than the xbox titles most of the time.

Console wars in the 2000s was about which one had the most games you wanted to play.
Console wars in the 2020s is about what your favorite console was in the 2000s.

Both will be used to play Fortnite and the same chinky gambling anime games.

playstation is just a FIFA machine for niggers and will only be bought by niggers.

 

[El Chacal De La Trompeta]

Oh boy, I can't wait to emulate all those great Sony exclusives, like... uh...

What you dont want to play angry ugly lesbian?

If the DRAM situation doesn't improve they might end up with another 16gb system, to not risk xbox beating them to the market by a few years, or xbox designing the system with 2029 in mind rather than a '27 release date (like i'm guessing what sony is planning) and having much better graphics.

Xbox is targeting a completely different demographic with their next console (rumor is that $1000+ is what we should expect and that it'll be much closer to a Windows PC). From Sony's PoV, they don't really matter.

The extremely tepid demand for the PS5 Pro seems to be as good a bellwether as any that people aren't in a hurry to get new hardware at high prices (for reference, the PS5 Pro is currently <5% of PS5s in the wild whereas the PS4 Pro accounted for almost 20% of PS4s in the wild).

By then you could have a PC-FX(Hardware made in '92; released in '94) situation where the hardware is multiple years out of date by the time it gets released

Time to sperg a bit: I don't think the PC-FX would have made much difference if it was released in 1992 as compared to 1994. The game lineup wasn't stellar and it didn't offer much new as compared to the SFC and PC Engine CD to most consumers (outside of FMV). It also had the unfortunate quality of being suited for game genres that were already popular on Japanese PCs. Speaking of Japanese PCs - 1992 and 1993 were when the PC price wars started in Japan with Compaq dropping the first DOS/V system and NEC responding by dropping the budget-friendly 98Fellow line of PC-98. Enthusiasts with an interest in the kind of games you saw on the FX were probably rushing out to just buy a PC instead because the platform was already mature and there were way more titties available.

Plus, by 1993 everyone knew what Sega and Sony were cooking up. Virtua Racer and Virtua Fighter were taking over Japanese arcades and it was well-known that they'd both be on Sega's next console, and Sony was already showing off their famous T-Rex demo. Japanese gamers weren't quite as biased in favor of 3D as Americans and Europeans, but the PC-FX was still considered to be underpowered for the price compared to what was coming up.

That’s nice. Now add Nintendo and PC to the comparison.

 

[Belvedere]

The PS5 has so little and meaningless of a unique library that the idea anyone should dedicate time to create a working emulator is laughable.

Making code recompilations of each exclusive game so it can run natively on PC would be a better time investment and it would take less time than making an accurate emulator and even then some of these "exclusives" are coming to PC anyways or are so mediocre there is no point putting any effort to port them.

This is pathetic.

I had to look up what Neptunia Reverse was and it is a port of a port of a remake. It is the quintessential Sony exclusive. Idea Factory out there matching Sony at 1/100th the budget

nintendo does whatever nintendo does and pc is a big market, but so is mobile gaming but almost no one here would say that mobile gaming is real gaming despite that not being true for basically a decade. besides, the main thing with consoles are they're less of a pain to set up compared to pc. the normie doesnt wanna build a pc because its too difficult and expensive, especially now given ram prices cost more than the console itself. they will, at best, go for a prebuilt if they wanna do pc gaming. console will work outside the box almost immediately (ok there is some setup but that takes like 15 minutes)

I haven't dissected this list in a while, not since they finally removed all the ai garbage clogging up the psn that only exists because you can't get a refund without a minor miracle on playstation. In alphabetical order, strikethroughs on things that aren't by any stretch an exclusive:
>Fine. Nothing more, nothing less. By far the best thing on this list because of it though.
>Extremely short and not particularly replayable tech demo. Sure, switch 2 welcome tour is worse, but the ps5's wii sports this is not.
>Non-vr port of a vr game that's also on pc.
>Underwhelming modern art project by a director high off his own farts. Basically guaranteed to only be temporary exclusive.
>Remaster of a quippy point and click.
>Downgraded port of a ps3 game.
>EoS'd live service, barely more playable than concord is right now.
>Last of us 2 in medieval Japan, almost guaranteed to get a pc port.
>[Unreleased] Ugly Dykes... in SPAAAAAAAAAAACE, 50/50 shot it gets cancelled based on the sheer crunch for an internal demo.
>[Unreleased] Marvel slop after even normalfags are done with the brand, leaks are NOT good.
>Port of a port of a remake, as already mentioned.
>Port
>[Unreleased] Hypothetical slop from an unreal asset farm that only got officially announced as a way to pretend their previous shovelware wasn't a complete dud.
>Port with a couple bonus levels
>[Unreleased] Real big thunk to name your jeet game SAAR. Given returnal, will probably be ok.
>Moral browbeating PSA about how cyberbullying BAD, less than 2 hours long.

The ps5 is in its 6th year and THIS is all it has, even after filling up a quarter of the list with unreleased shit, some of which is somewhat dubious whether or not it'll even get a release at all.

For how legendarily unfriendly you claim the PC gaming space is, you'd think Steam didn't double their max concurrent player count between 2020 and 2024.

PCs aren't some impossibly confusing thing. Most normies use one daily at their job.

So Nintendo doesn’t count because it’s not Real Gayming and PC doesn’t count because you’re too retarded to google “download steam”. Got it.

It's not a rumour. Sarah Bond said the next Xbox will cost between $1000 and $1499 and will aim at an elite/exclusive group of people.

the main thing with consoles are they're less of a pain to set up compared to pc.

They used to be. But with downloads, inputting email addresses for every game, signing up to PSN/XBL, paying services, forced updates that you can't roll back and the most limited selection of games on a console since the gaming crash, the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

go for a prebuilt if they wanna do pc gaming.

Enter, Steambox.

Don't forget connecting online to their server to pair your disc drive.

People will tell you that setting up a PS5, connecting to wifi, updating everything, inputting a bunch of info, choosing a subscription tier, configuring your audio and video, choosing where to install a game etc. is a simple, uncomplicated task for a normie. They will then turn around and claim that installing Steam + the AMD/Nvidia App is a frankly absurd expectation for the average human to be expected to do.

 

[The Feline Solution 2]

You really don’t have to do that for a PC. I haven’t upgraded my rig since 2018 (3rd gen Intel CPU and 1st gen RTX), but I can play a lot of the modern games. Elden Ring, Wukong, CP77, etc. Like sure, if you’re chasing 8k 144hz displays you need some insane specs, but it isn't the 1990s anymore; a rig made today can easily last at least half a decade, if not longer depending on your games.

Yeah. Got a non-stock 3060 in mine, bought it around the PS5 launch, to last the PS5's lifespan, but how things are looking right now it will last me a lot longer than just that timeframe. I am perfectly fine with 1080p 60fps, i got a nice display and can go higher res and frames but i mostly don't even bother, games look nice enough with the 1080/60 baseline.

Wow, a quick glance through this thread and I have never seen a bigger example of "rent free" in my life.

no one here would say that mobile gaming is real gaming

Mobile is the best platform for Balatro and most people use Delta on their phone, especially for nds games since its objectively the best way to play them without original hardware.
I think people are more open to mobile gaming now than they used to be. They just needed something to play that wasnt freemium.
