I was trying to correct you on something that was wrong in terms of how they do it.
Lol Fortnite has been bleeding players for a long while and isn't as relevant gameplay wise as it used to be.
Whats with japs and losing the source code to some of their most iconic games? This shit feels like its half the reason we dont get remasters or ports of some iconic jap titles because a bunch of japs threw the source code away in the trash.
Pendulum swing is cope. Even if it really was trying to swing back there's a hand holding it back from ever doing so again. It was an unnatural push to get us here and it's an unnatural hold keeping us where we are.
Celebrating sucking cock in July is based and traditional pilled, unlike those fake faggots and their corporate faggotry.
They had zero foresight, and it was pretty common unfortunately. Nintendo is one of the few who seemed pretty good about preservation, but I doubt they keep the obscure shit like Satellaview. There's tons of lost gaming media because of this probably.
I get seething mad at this shit and how it gets glorified. I got a family member who has it, he is a good-looking guy and this shit destroyed part of his confidence when it set on in his early 20's. He told me how he hates it when he talks to people and sees their eyes darting towards the spots. It isn't some cool thing that makes you unique and special, it makes you look weird and makes people look at you weird. Fucking tumblr cunts.
I think you underestimate the consoomer crowd. Normalfags who want the hot new thing so they can say they bought the hot new thing even if they are not generally interested in thing have reached into video game territory long ago, i'd argue that this plays a huge role in the PS5 moving any units already. GTA6 will also have an insane marketing budget so it might very well help in saving Sony's ass this console generation. I can at least somewhat realistically see it.
I do. I just can't see why consooomers would do what they do. It boggles my mind.
This just makes the decision to not release on PC day and date with the other versions all the more baffling. There's literally no reason not to do it and Rockstar is leaving money on the table by not doing it. You could even argue that, if GTA VI is as expensive to produce as rumored, its outright financially negligent not to have a PC version ready to go. Its the biggest red mark against the game and biggest thing working against it. It literally makes no sense from a financial standpoint.
GTA can work with female protagonist. It would actually be a nice change of pace. Now, could it work in this political climate? It will be very, very hard, and would take good writers who know to not make her a parody of herself and fall into the trap of the generic "strong girlboss who don't need no man" role. Old Rockstar, pre-GTAO could do it. Can current Rockstar do it? Its doubtful.
Any Switch players will probably just wait till the Switch 2 comes out and see if it gets a version of the game for itself.
Can it happen? Its possible. Will it happen? Not likely. It is very rare for a single game to move consoles on its own. And its usually with new consoles and exclusive launch games (think Super Mario 64 and Wii Sports; unsurprisingly, only Nintendo seem to do it consistently). The PS5 is a mature system, and anyone who wanted one has probably already gotten one. The game is also coming out on Xbox, which will weaken any sales potential it has on PS5, PC gamers will just wait for the inevitable PC version, and Switch owners will, as I've said, wait to see if Switch 2 gets a version. I believe the console sales bump in America and Europe will be muted, and it won't do anything for the console in Japan.
Oh sure, i agree, but it will give Sony and PS5 sales a push which they absolutely don't deserve. We'll see, normies is mad for GTA. I never liked the games much apart from the PS1 titles, it's a whole big world with nothing much in it every game. I like the way the RGG games do it much better, with small, condensed worlds with almost too much to do (looking at Y8 here, which i still haven't finished) instead of the quasi Make-your-own-entertainment sandboxes of modern GTA games.
R* earned so much cash from double, triple and quadruple dippers that they can release on console, where FOMO will make pc players play it on console first. Then, a year or so later, release it on PC with season 1 DLC. Then, 2-3 years after launch, they can sell a GOTY edition to console and PC players. Next gen they can remake it, or remaster it.
Take a look for yourself
They used to and probably still do destroy their gold masters after a relatively short time for some reason, they do this with vidya as well as anime. Nips being nips.
Funny enough, I've come to two completely opposite conclusions on this.
I can totally see that in a consoomer culture like Japan, definitely makes sense to me.
This would more be like "Oh, the japanese, so sophisticated and advanced compared to us round-eye scum". The former is where my money is at, too, now that you brought it up.
Nintendo and Miyamoto is the big one that push me in that direction.
As much as I appreciate what Miyamoto and Anouma have done for video games and given me some of my favorite franchises ever, I really can't wait for them to retire and no longer have influence on projects anymore. Just gotta hope they haven't seeded their gaming philosophies too much around Nintendo...
