Re: Key Sony Exec Gives Eye-Opening Quotes on the Future of PlayStation and Gaming

More bloat in the long run then but at the end of the day most people hold the button down to skip the cut scenes to speed run through it all.

It would be great if more creative/fun type of products with better physics (for example) are produced instead of these high end emotional cinematic storytelling games that we get today.

Hellblade 2 is a good example.

Re: Microsoft Commits to Next Call of Duty Game on Xbox Game Pass, New Report Says

Live service games that people play and nothing else but that game is great for subscriptions. The player's, they end up paying more for the game throughout the year because you have to pay to play online either way and with people paying for skins it's a no brainer, I don't blame them especially when people buy it day one still.

Excluding the skins they would be paying like 200 beans for it maybe more for the first year.

Re: Founders, Long-Time Employees Reportedly Say Xbox Now Effectively Microsoft Gaming

@Balie3000 Yup correct just like Steve Jobs said.....

“The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their products,”

They're a company that borrows/extracts and seeks ideas from others by either stealing the source and then they happily go to court every time over it or they just buy the competition, absorb the market to stay on top making them the dominant leader whilst making their investors happy but deep down they're just a company that sustains growth via software and mainly subscriptions now leading those at the top to not have to think of new critical industrial game changing ideas like Nintendo, Apple or even IBM so that leads it all back to square one to what I stated, Steve Jobs said and what you stated, they are a clueless corporate entity.

What is the connection frequency strength like on this thing when going into a different room, can it stay stable?, I wouldn't mind getting one for chill out days in bed, I don't want to be moving the console all the time.

I have 300+Mbps download & 80+Mbps upload.

Re: $70 Games Are Just a Phase, Believes Saber Interactive CEO

EYEBALL

Just thinking, if prices were reduced by eliminating expensive dialogues/cut scenes it wouldn't be a bad thing because most people skip them to speed through the game anyways, it is a video game after all not a movie.

Saving money from not using high-end graphics isn't bad either because most people get the wow factor for a short period when starting the game for the first time until they put the controller down, have something to eat and just randomly look at the TV again.

Elden Ring is a good example in context.

Buying Zune, Skype, Nokia, ZeniMax, Activision/Blizzard and creating a big bland black brick of a box like the series X sounds relatable.

Re: Dragon Ball Manga Icon Akira Toriyama Passes Aged 68

EYEBALL

No way, I've not watched dragon ball in years but Its crazy to think that it runs through the generations since it came out in 1984, even my grandad enjoyed watching it with me when I was a kid and he was sixty odd years old back then in the 90s.

RIP to that legend, that 9000 power level will get him too the holy gates in no time.

Re: Reaction: The Problem with PlayStation Right Now

EYEBALL

Yup, these days I would happily have games that are a bit like Elden Ring in quality, not super graphical but more in depth and creative with gameplay that can be played longer for the price tag instead of what gets released today which can be completed in 30 hours (3days) for 70 beans, Nintendo do ok in that playing field but you know, people are conditioned now, believing that if it is not super graphically intensive it isn't good and it's trash, I had this debate with a friend recently, a super photorealistic looking game in the future will not appreciate over time compared to a game that people can just hop on and have a blast with whilst becoming a staple like Tetris or Pacman (for example), a good percentage of games are just the same now but it's all about the story, cinematics and some Hollywood movie stars voice acting the games now not the gameplay, that's another reason why I stated Elden Ring but hey this what happens when it becomes mainstream, not like when it was a niche for nerds & no one else like it was in the 80s & 90s but here we are now, I'm not going into that dogma.

Re: Unannounced Games from PlayStation Studios Have Been Cancelled

EYEBALL

I like to think that, with what is happening within the gaming industry recently is due to the fact that GTA6 & the Nintendo switch 2 is coming out soon, everyone is going to flock to that game and nothing else, it's really gonna hurt other studios especially if they have a set release date at the same time as GTA6 but that is one of many reasons, I can imagine they have it in mind though and they're getting prepared for the setback.
