Damn, what smartphone boom. I thought that was years ago. Are people still playing games on their phone? And if so, why? I mean, yes, on the toilet I also play some dumb crap stuff... but..
@Rjak I think there is a connection between success and repetitiveness and grindiness in games. The more boring, grindy etc. it is, the more popular (same with FS titles etc)
Whenever I come across "Diablo" and "Story" in the same sentence or paragraph I always have to giggle inside (just a tiny bit) - same for any FS title of course.
It very likely will be a new Rockstar masterpiece (like most of their games) and I will play it day one and also can't wait and everything. But also it will be the first GTA I'm not that excited for, simply because of purely subjective reasons like I don't care for a Miami setting at all. But yeah, still will be awesome and all.
Man, those predictions lower the excitement so much...
Anyway, besides the LoU multiplayer something about those projects would make this the event of the decade
Gendesign's new masterpiece
Playdead's new masterpiece
Moon Studios new game
Untitled new Naughty Dog game (please no Lou3!)
Tsushima 2 (I'll take more of the Ronin game too, for now)
Untitled Santa Monica game
Untitled Bend Studio game
Untitled Insomniac (besides boring spiderdude!)
Project Awakening
Project TH
5 Untitled PS5 1st party exclusives
Untitled Quantic Dream game
GTA 6 (ahahaha)
Those are not predictions, just dreams and hopes obviously though. And maybe at the other Summerfest showcases then...
If it'll will be just the standard obvious ones (Spidey, Wolverine, Stellar Blade, FF16 etc), zzz - I mean, for the most anticipated and important case since years. The first one since the PS5 launch...
I so would love and dream about part 2 having an "actual" horse that feels like a horse (and is not summonable everywhere, more like in RDR2) and you're not able to pick up stuff just with one button, even on a horse. Takes so much away from the immersion (one of the reasons Eldenring feels so empty and sterile)... Buuut, it will always be just a dream, since.. mainstream.. :/
Edit: Just seeing the Last of Us multiplayer for 1 second in action would be more than enough to make this the greatest thing ever. And if there should be some actual PS5 exclusive stuff besides superhero cr**, that would be the topping on the cake...
Holy s. It's here ladies.. Now I have no idea how to get through one week...
PS: Same date as the Fuji summit, ahahaha. best week ever.
PPS: I know it's a huge dream but.. but.. if there is something of Gendesigns new masterpiece...??!
Good, nothing better than extraction shooters. Unfortunately nothing besides that Hazard mode exists yet (worth mentioning) but hopefully we'll see a lot more of them, including the Lou multiplayer.
Nothing more boring than pure coop/pve shooters
No need for a new game or to change anything except continue to update Hazard mode again. It's the perfect multiplayer and nothing else ever needed (besides the upcoming lou mp of course)
Uh what. Can someone explain this? Jeffe doesn't know anything internal. I watch some of his stream, all fine and stuff (besides him being an edge lord and the master of controversy to get clicks, but who isn't nowadays)... But he doesn't know anything about some game projects coming out or not. Jeez.
@ChrisDeku Ah, thank you for the explanation. Hm, I would have imagined that you maybe get 30% from sold units as actual profit and that you can't really calculate with full price (Almost noone gets the game for the full price at launch, so the average would be maybe 30-40 bucks?) but ok.
I will never ever get the size of game teams and amount invested and how it can be financially rewarding.
Then again I'm no economist and can only do milkmaid bills (if that's a phrase in your language ๐)
100 people... Everyone at least gets 5000 a month. Which is 6 million every year. Not counting everything else and probably higher salaries anyway.
Games like Returnal sell maybe 1 million copies (most successful games have 10). Which is maybe 10 million profit (probably less)
Just no idea how this industry (single player games without constant income from ingame shops of course) works (apparently) ๐
So incredible to see how Playstation 5 is successful without one single exclusive (mainstream) game, no promising exclusive masterpieces announced (they will be there, but they're not announced) and no real showcase for years. Shows Sony they have to do literally nothing and still sell units..
What Sony/Playstation is the most guilty of: The best (and most) exclusive games in history. They literally have a monopoly on outstanding quality. Sure, not that much yet this generation but hopefully and very likely soon again.
I will never get why gamers want so much material beforehand but funny to see how it usually changes. At first the outcry is "don't give us trailers, give us lots of actual gameplay", then "it's too much gameplay now guys!"
As soon as a game interests me, I won't watch anything about this game until I hit play myself. Except multiplayer stuff of course.
The original was so bad, it only can get better. Sure, the story was interesting and good but as a game... Boringly running through empty sterile rooms ..
Buuuut... wheeeen later this year. I so hope it will have a lot of Battlefield's Hazard mode (Lite version of Tarkov), it's the greatest mp since... well Factions.
The look and feel of the 1st person in this game looks so great which is so rare. Anyway, I so crave a realistic looking game so much. TLoU2 mp please.. come
The funny thing is, even without upgrades, GTA 5 still looks better than most games from today. (Same for games by Naughty Dog of course, but GTA is even older)
hilarious when the mob calls it stealing etc in their little simple dumb black and white world.
noone walked in and said "oh, nice art, I'll steal it and put it in a multimillion game and noone will notice hahaha, and tomorrow world domination muahaha" in the real world things happen that jobless kids in their basement just don't get
