Re: Sony to Focus on Core Gaming Business and Close PS Vue

InsertUsername

@GodGamer Handhelds were an afterthought for Sony. Vita's only real issue was expensive memory cards and lack of support from Sony themselves. Leaving the handheld market entirely was the right move going forward. Their core gaming experience has always been home consoles. PS Now as it stands, will certainly make a turn around now that Sony is putting more serious focus on that and less on things that were risky endeavors, such as Vue. You are entitled to your opinion, and that's as far as I go with the topic. Good day.

@GodGamer Not likely since it's a part of their core gaming business. They made some nice changes that will likely lure in more subscribers. Vue on the other hand, just wasn't getting off the ground and it makes sense to end it now than lose more money on it. I am using it now and I love it, and it's a shame to see it go.

Re: PS Now Prices Permanently Dropped Worldwide, Game Rotation to Add New Blockbusters Every Month

@JAMes-BroWWWn why do you consider streaming "not directly".

Because it's streaming from ps3's and ps4's in one large server so to speak. That means it's not running on anyone's PC. That's a difference whether you disagree or not.

"Don't you watch movies/series directly on your TV/Playstation while it's being streamed though."

Refer to above answer.

"Point is you don't need a Playstation to run those games. That does devalue the console."

Incorrect, once again. Yes, you do need a PlayStation device to run those games, as that is how the PS Now's infrastructure works. It does nothing to devalue the console. Not to mention, it's money for Sony either way. It's quite smart to cater to those who don't own a console to subscribe to PS Now. That's how business works, and it doesn't affect PS4's value at all. If it did, then the console and games wouldn't be selling at all(Spider-Man and HZD being good examples). PS4 just passed 100 million not that long ago, that says it all. Last but not least, these games will only be on the service for a limited time, so it shouldn't bother you too much.

Re: Sunset Overdrive Is Now Owned by PlayStation, Sony Confirms

@Envy We get it. You don't like Sony. There's really no need to be salty about it. As for Microsoft and Nintendo's "close" relationship of late. It makes sense because they are behind compared to Sony, so why not? There's no betrayal to be had. They bought Insomniac, and now they own SO. Get over it. Were you also upset when MS bought Ninja Theory?

Re: Spider-Man Movie Dispute Raises Video Game Concerns

@AFCC Many companies aren't nearly as greedy as Disney, so it's quite a moot point. Sony owns the movie rights, so Disney isn't in any position to give such huge demands. Yes, they are part of the reason for the success of the recent movies, but that doesn't mean they should be demanding more. I can't imagine how much more that company needs with all these recent acquisitions of late( Fox being the most recent.) Disney should just give it a rest and lay off the bullying. They have more than enough already.

@JohnKarnes I play it at 4K if 60fps isn't available. From my experiences, never had that issue. Guess I'm just lucky it hasn't perhaps. I don't know. I have many friends who have a Pro and haven't had that problem. I did experience that issue with my standard PS4.

Re: Sony: The World Isn't Ready for Game Streaming, Consoles Like PS5 are Still Necessary

@malbhet So? It's optional, and not being forced upon you or any other consumer. Just because they say that the world isn't ready for game streaming doesn't mean it literally. It simply means that the majority aren't due to inconsistent internet speeds around the world. PS Now is simply for those who are either ready or want to test the waters. It's not perfect, but it works quite well if you have good enough internet speeds to run it efficiently.

Re: PS5 Is 'Hard to Get Excited About', Says Platinum Boss

@Porco Indeed. Everyone has done their part. The real issue with fans and even the media themselves, is that they are too obsessed with who did it first, or who is copycatting. Honestly...who cares? Everyone is copying each other and that's not a bad thing. It brings improvements and further innovates current technology and makes way for new concepts in the future. Not sure why it's always got to be some kind of contest with some people.

@Porco Spot on with everything you said. Anyone who says that Sony has been just getting by with little to no innovation is very jaded or perhaps doesn't know much about gaming history due to being born late. I also agree that being too innovative, can certainly cause a lot of financial ruin for any company. Anyone who can push their bias to the side can say that all companies have innovated in many ways over the years in the gaming industry. Most credit Microsoft for innovating online gaming we have today.

@Heavyarms55 Innovation is more than just hardware, it's also games. Also, if you think that Sony has done nothing innovative in all this time, then you're certainly misinformed, let alone quite jaded from where I sit. I'm also putting you on ignore because we are far too apart in any agreement on this topic. Good luck.
