Sony hate thread

[SiccDicc]

I hope the Derek Chauvin game gets released in PS5 just to piss off trannies, faggots, niggers and other leftists, especially Soynyfags

JRPG where Derek Chauvin is a summon that knees your enemies to death would be pretty cool.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Imagine being Soyny still getting asskicked by Nintendo's own Bing-Bing-Wahoo Italian plumber

Well, Sony beat them 3-out-of-5 times in the home console market. PS1 beat N64, PS2 raped GC, and PS4 crushed Wii U.

Thinking the game will be anything other than a huge financial success is the type of brainlet shit only a poli-sperg can do.

I don't know about "huge" but I can't see it being a total flop, unfortunately.

What a lame console generation.
All I want for Christmas Gen 10 is Steam Machine 2: Decked Boogaloo.

 

[ChefKiss]

Or the half decade late TLOU2 multiplayer.

I honestly dont think that is EVER coming out.

It's following the exact same pattern as every other "Shut up it's totally selling really well" Sony game like TLoU2, Horizon: Forgotten West etc. 2.5 million in 5 minutes, 4 milion in a day, 5 million in a week then they never mention sales again until it's on deep discount/bundles/PS+ where they can fudge the sales numbers. It isnt making its budget back, 5 million sales isnt recouping a $200m+ budget, they expected all these games to sell 10m minimum and 20m eventually. I have yet to see a soyny defender do the maths and work out how they think these games are making a profit.

Sony wont even let people release games with attractive female characters, they're not going to let anyone release anything like that unless china makes it

What a lame console generation.

This is really two lame generations back to back. At least for me. And things are not looking great in the future either. As now Microsoft wants to make an 'ad tier' version of Gamepass. Which mean if it follows how streaming services are will eventually be the only tier. And our entire lives will require adblock even in the media we own and pay to stream.

I know your example numbers are made up but you're fucking retarded if you think a full priced game that sells like that isn't making its budget back.

I don't know, it might at $70 a pop. They can pad bundles with it and throw it on PS+ down the line, and port it to PC. I don't see how it can't make its budget back at the very least.

PS4 looks like the PS2 compared to PS5. These most recent generations are both lame but to different degrees.

Worst thing is, the PS3 generation was just...fine. it's been a real long stretch of mediocrity.

Replace “PlayStation beep” with specific PlayStation games that are actually good and this will be the mood for me in the next two weeks.

They dont get $70 when they sell a game for $70, they get about $15, maybe $20 if we're being very generous and it makes it pretty easy to see how many full price copies they need to sell to break even for a budget of $200m+ PS+ is worth only cents per "sale". Just breaking even would be a massive failure for such a huge investment and risk too

You seem to be incredibly confused. Its the end seller (Walmart, Gamestop, etc.) who gets chicken scratch, the actual game publisher gets about 50 dollars if the game is going for 70. And, of course, if its a digital sale (which, statistically speaking, 80 percent of Playstation 5 sales are) then Playstation takes all.

Pretty sure Sony doesn't care about making a profit with their games anymore, they're just trying to convince retard normies that are too dumb to build/maintain a gaming PC to pick Playstation over Xbox. Their whole scheme is to get them on their platform so when they finish their shitty movie game after ~20 hours, they go back to their EA Sports/CoD/Apex or whatever game and buy all the MTX on the Sony platform, so Sony gets a cut. It's why Sony was losing their mind about the potential of losing CoD, their cut of the MTX from CoD was way more than whatever their 1st party games were making. This was all very blatantly spelled out during the FTC shitshow.

I think one of the defining notes of the last gen will be the resurgence of PC gaming. PC gaming really exploded in the past decade in popularity and the consoles sucking dick really had a part to play in that.

Worst thing is, the PS3 generation was just...fine. it's been a real long stretch of mediocrity.

It's main issue is that the Xbox 360 released November 2005 while the PS3 didn't release until November 2006. So the Xbox 360 had a solid year to build a catalog while the PS3 entered the race late and didn't have anything going on for it.

By the end of 2007, the first year for the PS3:
The PS3 had Resistance, Armored Core 4, Heavenly Sword, Tekken: Dark Resurrection,
The Xbox had Perfect Dark Zero, Quake 4, Gears of War, Saints Row, Dead Rising, Hitman Blood Money, Prey, Halo 3, Mass Effect, Crackdown, and Overlord.

Despite whatever people may feel for those PS3 exclusives, they never really took off in popularity and are largely seen as niche. Meanwhile Saints Row, Gears of War, and Mass Effect spawned a big series while Halo 3 was what a lot of people see as the peak of the Halo series.

Meanwhile a bunch of games that weren't even console exclusive didn't release on the PS3 at launch.

Game	Xbox 360 Release	PS3 Release	Delay
Rainbow Six Vegas	November 2006	June 2007	7 months
Bioshock	August 2007	October 2008	14 months
FEAR	October 2006	April 2007	6 months
TES4: Oblivion	March 2006	March 2007	12 months
Splinter Cell: Double Agent	October 2006	March 2007	5 months

The Xbox 360 had its launch issues with the Red Ring of Death but at least it had games. Sony fumbled the PS3 so unbelievably hard that a lot of people were firmly entrenched in the Xbox 360 market by the time the PS3 came out with something noteworthy.

EDIT: I'm retarded and just realized I misread your post about the "PS3 generation" and not just the PS3, resulting in an entire spergpost.

It was still a good post lol. I agree with it for the most part. I think you may have oversold the 360 a bit, for example, I'm no Halo fan but Halo 2 seems far and away the series favorite, though Halo 3 does seem to get its fair share of praise.

And Sony did get a slow start, not just launching the console later but also being slow to get good games. But it still had a much, much better library at this point in its lifespan than PS5 does at least.

It feels like gaming in general on consoles has slowed down massively, PC at least has Steam and a whole bunch of indie stuff going on to keep everything interesting. The increased game development time is rather obvious but it is very jarring to watch that Crowbcat video he put out a while back and compare it to modern times with the cadence at which fun games come out. If a game came out and it sucked, oh well, there's likely another game around the corner within a month or two. Nowadays people go online to cope by trying to delude everyone and themselves that the 1 out of 3 games they were interested in this year wasn't garbage.

The funny thing is I'm old enough to remember that the actual initial reaction to Halo 3 was one of hype being let out of a balloon because people felt that the rushed ending didn't do the series justice and it didn't really have the head-turn moments that 2 did. Of course it was helped massively in the long-run by the multiplayer, fuzzy memories of times long gone and the fact that it wasn't Halo 4 or 5.

To be fair, Halo 2 was a hard act to follow. They say you can't catch lightning in a bottle twice, but the first Halo sold absolute fucking gangbusters, and Halo 2 was a more refined take on the first with an addition of new game mechanics, more story, and tighter balanced multiplayer. Halo 2 was the game that pushed Xbox Live into the spotlight. No more having to ethernet your Xbox to your PC and finding games through GameSpy (r.i.p.), the whole online ecosystem was available from your Xbox, complete with chat functionality and ways to stay connected with friends.

I feel like Halo 3 was part of the last big hurrah of social gaming. I remember when stores and local groups would hold tournaments. At some point, the normies (aka the people who didn't want to be around the smell of body odor and ass all evening) would rather just stay home and play online with their friend group instead of congregating at tourneys. Nowadays, LAN parties are one of those things you do once in a while with your friends for shits and giggles. Even if Halo 3 wasn't the best game (to some, it is), a lot of people probably hold on to that bit of nostalgia of simpler times. Digital pre-orders killed the midnight release scene. The mid-2000s up until around 2014-2015 truly were gaming's Woodstock years.

I feel like this sentiment extends to games like Call of Duty as well. Even though the series basically devolved into Desert Storm simulator after CoD4, a lot of people still have fond memories of the conversations they had and the time spent with friends. Sometimes the most fun you can have in a game is when you're doing it with homies, regardless of the quality of the game in question.

And to think, there was a time during both the 90s and 2000s (and in a lesser extent until early-2010s) where triple A studios allowed very attractive female characters

 

[Edgy But Dull]

The mid-2000s up until around 2014-2015 truly were gaming's Woodstock years.

Oblivion really did open that whole can of worms with MTX. After people realized that MTX was a free money printer and games like MW2 started breaking record sales every year, the moneymen all seemed to move in.

Pete Hines actually talked about the Horse Armor at PAX Aus and how it made everyone realize that gamers are completely retarded with money.

For me, gaming peaked between 1999 to 2013 (with 2015 and 2017 being surprise bonus peak years).

But didn't Nintendo make more money even though they didn't dominate in sales up until the Wii U because they didn't sell consoles at such a huge loss like Sony did?
