Video Game Chat Thread - Pre-Alpha Experimental Version

[Cubanodun]

all of that because of some hackerman post-rape paranoia.

HAHAHAHA.

American Sony branch are utterly fucking the brand because their main sellers are from, guess what, western developers, they are using Naughty dog, Santa monica studio and Insomniac as excuses to power grab with "oi look we are getting the numbers, what numbers are you getting? those? lame", that would explain why Sony own studio in Japan got axed and the americans taking the "fuck you this is what you get", JP branch cant do much about it because money speak

So yeah america is fucking with Playstation hard because numbers

Edit: to add another thing, the reason the PSP lasted so much was because it was literally the Monster Hunter machine, after the exclusivity expired they went to Nintendo where they still have first dips in MonHun, Sony is still buttyblasted that they could not revive the interest in the Vita like they did with the PSP when MonHun was released in there

 

[Marissa Moira]

Checking a reddit AMA about a Sony employee that was involved with the Vita and the guy throwed some pearls about that dumpster fire

Spoiler: Soyni

1. The console came gimped since day 1, Sony was so paranoiac that literally blocked parts of the console even for developers for no reason, when they decide to unlock all the potential with patches to the firmware it was to late
2. The retarded proprietary memory stick was to annoy hackers , Sony became uber paranoid since that super hacking they suffered ages ago, they also blame them for the death of the console and the shop because for a while Sony did not care that it was selling jackshit but getting a tiny but constant revenue, hack as released they decided "fuck them in the ass" and dropped any pretense of caring and give it a slow death
3. The Vita was going to have a HDMI addon but it was dropped because it had software issues, streamers groan in pain
4. Vita 2 is not happening, the guy doesnt elaborate further but is obviously that no one will give a shit about it because everyone and their grandmother has a Switch
5. Sony consider the Vita a failure (lol), did not fulfill any of the sale milestones they have proposed for it and the hack was just the excuse to finally kill it mafia style
6. There is a inside war in Sony for the PlayStation brand, the guy imply that we can see the winner already that the Americans got hold of the branch because USA is the biggest vidya market, this also explain all the fuckery they have been doing recently and failing spectacularly in Japan where Xbox is going balls deep to get that second spot (and if you believe the numbers they are getting there thanks to Game pass)
7. Sony know if you have hacked your console, the system send telemetry to them and they know if you are a filthy pirate but cant do much about it, funny because the vita is a good emulation machine
8. Sony killing cult following IPs is pretty normal, the guy throw a example of Metroid that even when is culturally important, Nintendo keep throwing games (or pretending to be) about it, he pull numbers that Metroid has sold like 20 million copies between all the series but it you compare it with Animal crossing that did that with the switch game is simply not viable for Sony to keep IP that dont print shitload of money, aka if it doesnt pull God of war numbers is uber shit
9. They dont want to put backward compatibility because they dont give a shit and is to much effort for a feature that according to them no one will use it says a lot when the Xbox can run PS3 games without any issue via retroarch and even run Xbox 360 games
10. There was going to be Bioshock game for the vita but negotiations went to the shit, considering the reception Infinite got maybe is was for the best
11. They begun to lose faith in the system when the retarded Mini and PSTV failed spectacularly
12. Sellings of games were terrible, like 1000 copies at best of terrible

Tl;dr Sony shit the bed after that hack of 2011 and fucked almost all their decisions, America is now calling the shots about the PlayStation brand and that has hurted badly in Asia and even in their turf that is Japan

He left stuff out


American branch is being controlled by the main Japanese Sony branch (not the Japanese PlayStation branch they are two different things) which is why you have Jim Ryan in charge because he'll do what Yoshida says

America got control of the Playstation because the Japanese fucked up by designing the whole cell processor which was awful to develop for and it was also why the PS3 was super expensive.

America started calling the shots after the PS3 shit the bed which was much earlier than 2011.

Yoshida wants everything to do GOW numbers because fucking horizon zero dawn out did every single game japan Studio ever put out in sales in japan itself. The Japanese liked Aloy enough that the game did over 100k in sales the first week. The Anime acquisitions are going to be effectively merged with playstation and the games from that have already begun to do better in the Japanese market.

They have an iron grip on anime at this point, and it's going to become as prominent in long term sales as Spiderman has.

The vita was abandoned because FGO did so well, there was zero point to continuing making portable hardware when mobile devices were already prominant and Japan was spending billions in Gatcha. All that the vita did was take away stuff from PS4 development.

>downloaded all emulators on my PS VITA
>trying to now find ROMs to download
>still not sure how to download ROMs correctly

it’s safe to say that I’m dumb at the moment, and I’m going to be busy the upcoming week trying to search “how to download ROM files” on a handheld that no one uses anymore.

Your post got pretty much verified today with Sony wanting to release ANOTHER remake of the Last of us

Yeah Yoshida's whole thing is media cross promotion with brands


This is for their whole Anime Keikiaku that he himself wanted, but it's the same for their own IPs that are getting TV shows. Games will be made to sell TV shows and merch and TV shows will be made to sell games and merch.

People who keep attacking Jim Ryan are retards who keep falling for misdirection because they believe Game Journalists and Twitter fags. Ryan is at the helm because he's a drone, it's Yoshida you want to draw your weeb stick on and beat if you don't like the changes.

So releasing another remake to tie it with the HBO series and doing the same with Uncharted because japaneses are outjewing the jews

Well think of it this way, you could get the old version of TLOU1 and buy it on a PS4, or you could get the BRAND NEW version of TLOU1 with upgraded visuals and play it on a PS5.

Which is going to make the company more?

If they are going to be so miserable in that approach, money is that the remake is just TLOU1 but swapping the older models with ones that resemble the actors of the live action then put another stupidity like i dont know, making 2 not canon or some crap like that

 

[TVStactic]

making 2 not canon or some crap like that

a small price to pay for salvation

That could very well happen if it's a success and they need a second season.

I mean how many fucking times was evangelion remade and retold before we got Shinji to grow balls?

 

[Cubanodun]

Really if sony want those numbers TLOU2 has to go, make it a "what if " or something anything that make Neil screech

That could very well happen if it's a success and they need a second season.

1 time, but people forgot that the Shinji you got in rebuild is not new, GAINAX/Khara has been making Shinji growi a pair of balls in collaboration with Bampresto in Super robot taisen where his personality change a lot, because the fan reception was so good (again not first time, Gundam seed was another case) funny bearded man imported him to Evangelion ANIMA and from there he passed to rebuild

Shinji not being a pussy was a work that took years

Edit: exhibit A of what happen when a incel get friends

 

[LightDragonman1]

Eh, I'd personally prefer something akin to The Matrix Path Of Neo should an Evangelion video game get made. Just go full on meta and tongue and cheek.

On a different note, I just finished Splinter Cell Chaos Theory for the first time. I think I can safely call it my third favorite stealth game, with Thief II being my second favorite, and MGS2 and MGS3 being tied for first.

Any other stealth games I should try? I heard that Hitman Blood Money is pretty good.

Metal Gear, Thief, and Hitman are the trifecta. If you played the other two, then you owe it to yourself to play the third.

(I know I skipped Splinter Cell, but I like using the word trifecta.)

Hitman has changed a lot. Blood Money is a good starting point. It's not dissimilar to the more-recent WoA games.

Have you tried Mark of the Ninja? That one is really good. It's 2D but it works very well. You know the light gem in Thief? Imagine having gems for a lot of things besides light but you can see them in the environment instead of on the HUD. Things like vision cones and how far enemies can see, exactly which spots a light illuminates, how far the sound you make travels for different actions(and different surfaces iirc) or how far sounds travel when an enemy shouts or a dog barks. With all that knowledge you can set up a lot of sneaky shit. If you fuck up you generally feel that it was your fault and not the game fucking you over or the controls being bad. It plays a bit like a 2D Splinter Cell(Chaos Theory is awesome) with the addition of smooth ninja agility and speed plus some Spider-Man moves.

It was 9 years since I last played it but I really liked it. Never finished it, maybe it turns into bullshit at the end.

Was Quake III Arena the best Quake in your eyes? I always put the Quake series like this:

Quake II > Quake III Arena > Quake > Quake IV

[Dojima's Dragon]

Is the ps3 worth it in regards to emulating ps2 games that aren't on the ps2 classics list (the slim I am talking about)

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

Quake > Q3A > everything else for me.

Absolutely agree, I don't think absurdly powerful long range weapons like the railgun should be hitscan. In Quake 1 when playing CTF on the really large single player maps and a dude was far away you had to fire off a rocket, lay down some super nailgun fire at his only escape exit, another rocket, then plink away with the regular hitscan shotgun to herd him into the rain of nails and rockets that were almost upon him. Create a bullet hell.

A rocket or two from far away was not dangerous by themselves, you could look at them for a while then step to the side, no problem. Trapping people so they panic or forcing them into spaces they didn't want to be in was how the game was won. With a railgun you could just pick him off from afar and that's no fun for either side.

 

[TFT-A9]

I fucking love the way some of the gear looks in GD

I look like a member of GWAR lol

 

[Cyclonus]

There's a mobile game called Warpath that released a live action trailer that kicks ass:

Too bad that the actual game looks like shit:

Maybe allocate your funds to actual game development and not marketing next time, right?
