Re: A 'No Brainer' to Take Advantage of PS5's Power, Wreckfest Dev Teases

Leon_93

A game that is not 4K is not an issue to me as long as the games runs at a high framerate (60 and above). I rather have developers take advantage of other PS5 capabilities like the decompression tech (smaller game file ftw), SSD and audio tech. Achieving the "4K" mark is getting redundant considering we have great upscaling techs like DLSS, checkerboard and AMD upcoming upscaling tech.

Re: Reaction: What Next for PlayStation?

I'm pretty sure they are aware of the situation and counteracting it as they see fit. We have pretty much seen a glimpse of it with the increased quality of the plus offering.

My prediction for their next move:

  • Acquisition of a studio or two (bluepoint and housemarque maybe)
  • Strengthening their ties with third party and second party developer (expect more console exclusive games)
  • Increase development for exclusive games from each of their studio similar to what insomniac is doing.
  • Further increase the PS collection offerings.
  • Take advantage of their relationship with kadokawa to perhap sign some deals for multiple exclusive games.

This is just my perspective of what they can do as a countermeasures. We already seen what they can do especially during the ps3 era so I'm pretty confident they will do the same now.

Re: Sony Stresses Japan Is of Utmost Importance After Report Claims Company's Interest Has Drifted

There is alot of contradiction to this report though:

1) Sony investment and obtaining marketing rights to Japanese games like final fantasy and Capcom games.
2) Sony near monopoly of the anime industry especially with the recent near acquisition of crunchyroll.
3) Sony near dominance in the Japan mobile games market with games like FSN bring in billions for them despite the fact that is still did not localised internationally.
4) PS5 is releasing in Japan first while Europe which is the dominant market did not.
5) Japan Studio recent expansion which includes development support studio similar to Xdev.

All of this indicates that Japan is still an upmost important market as a whole and if is not then why sony still continue to do whatever I listed above?

TL:DR, too many contradiction on the Bloomberg news.
