Everyone has been telling sony from day 1 that their live service formula is either too generic or too pandering to non-paying audiences and yet they still refuse to accept reality and keep throwing money at their projects expecting them to succeed without changing the core issues.

Despite the heave backlash, sony and the whole playstation brand are still pushing hard for the digital only future, is there any chancge that customers will actually rally to stop buying their games or will they just move on and consume their new slop?

All the ram makers keep pushing the date of when ram prices will come down and they sure would love that, but considering how many datacenters keep getting cancelled wouldn't it be time for some government to do some auditing and see if the current inflated prices are actually driven by demand or it's just good ol' price fixing by monopolies.

Even entry cards like the 5060ti are already reaching 1k in most retailers and memory keeps getting pricier, if this trend continues even a super entry card like a 5050 would be prohibitively expensive for someone looking to build a gaming pc. And forget about playing AAA games...

If it wasn't already hard enough to get a decent team of randoms now we will have to get along with the smartphone crowd getting into CS2.

As more and more videos keep coming showing the gameplay it seems it's going to be one of those games that rely on cinematic and cut-scenes with gameplay that holds the player hand to avoid getting lost while doing quests. There is an audience for that but I doubt it's big enough to cover the game development cost.

I'm not that much of a fan of Darksiders but I did like the 2 Kingdom Come games so far so I'm definitely getting the next entry on release day.

I really liked the first game (sans the occasional random npc that had a bit too much to say about its irrelevant life and wouldn't let me cancel the side quest) so I'm also looking forward to the new one. I sure do hope they add some online pvp though, I'd love to have some siege style battles there.

Looks like it really is releasing this year, I wonder if it will be a faithful and proper remake or if it will be a half-baked cash-grab? It would also be nice if we ever get a proper pc port. itzagud-35f7ca5a66cebc28

Hard to believe they wouldn't test something so basic as high refresh frame rates before releasing their game, seems like they only did the console build testing and then hastily exported it to pc without even checking.

Personally I think Zelda BotW is one of the best games to port to VR, most of the fighting mechanics fit it perfectly. If only nintendo could stop keeping everything isolated in their under-performing consoles I bet there's plenty of people who would buy their games if they were in steam or other storefronts (but mainly steam).

"I think we'll be in commercial streaming mode within three years.

...I do think it creates a great opportunity for titles that are broadly desirable, even outside of core markets. And we do have titles like that, obviously"

Not only they expect you to preorder their digital-only copies of GTA6 but they also want you to pay subscription for cloud gaming.

Quoting Take-Two CEO

"We've received exceptional pre-order reception to GTA 6. I'm not gonna tell you how many units we've sold, or we're selling, but I'd say that the sales are unprecedented and astonishing and astronomical, and that we don't know how to translate that into numbers yet."

The fact he isn't revealing any actual numbers means that the total amount of preorders isn't that big but I still want to encourage other to not fall for such a scam as "digital preorder", if you want the preorder extras just buy it one day before release. It's already bad enough they want to get away with their AAAA price tag the must not get away with implementing digital scarcity.
