Can someone PLEASE give sony the memo. I don’t know what it is but it seems to me that sony just hasn’t gotten the memo. From the very beginning of this gen sony has done nothing but ignored every gaming trend that we gamers have requested and gotten used to over the past 15 years. I remember that day when I first saw that video that sony did about how to share your ps4 games. I remember thinking to myself “what the hell’s up with that?” What’s wrong with sony? Who told them to leave the power of game ownership in the hand of the players? Don’t they know that we want to relinquish total control of our games to the publishers? Don’t they know that we want EA, Microsoft and Activision to tell us what we can and cannot do with our games? Don’t they understand that we want to never be able to resell our old games? Their refusal to do 24 hour DRM was another indication that they just didn’t get the memo.
Then you had that whole VR thing, seriously, what’s up with that? Why is sony trying to help innovate gaming? So many people said that VR was a waste of time and that it would fail, but did they listen, NO THEY DIDN’T. They just doubled down. Don’t they know that we just want to continue playing games the same way we always have since the 1970’s? Why try to give gamers different and more diverse ways of experiencing gaming, it’s counterproductive (seriously, right now my PSVR is sitting on my counter and it’s usually very productive). They need to stop it. They need to stop giving us new experiences. They’re not reading the memo.
And what about all those exclusives huh? If sony really gave a damn they wouldn’t be pumping out all those exclusives over the past 4 years. I mean c’mon really? I’ve got so many games I have a backlog the length of my………..arm. Sometimes I get a headache just trying to decide what game to play next after I finish another one. And seriously, do they have to make all of them so damn good? Where’s the stinkers sony, you could at least try and release more stinkers so that it would make it easier to ignore some of those games. But we all know they aren’t gonna listen to us. They’re just gonna continue pumping out high quality games just to screw with us. But the jokes on them, we’ll always have Ubisoft and EA there to satisfy us with their buggy yearly atrocities to help restore the balance. READ THE BLOODY MEMO SONY!!!!!
But my biggest peeve, (that one thing that reeeeaally grinds my gears) is their blatant refusal, their downright act of defiance and what I can only call “A slap in the face of every gamer”, their decision to continue supporting Single.Player. Games. HOW DARE THEY!!! In this day and age, where so many other developers see us as infinite cash reserves, at a time when we want nothing more than to be sold half of a game and then spend another 200 bucks paying for the rest of it through DLC and Microtransactions only to be told a year later that the service will be shutting down and we’ll have to by the next game in the series. At a time when what we the gamers really want is GaaS and online only multiplayer, sony has decided to keep making single player only games. Showing once again that they don’t care about the gamers, sony has decided to create full high quality single player experiences that provide hours of engaging gameplay. Who the heck told sony that I wanted to be able to game even if my internet is down? Do they not care that I want to hear some five year old scream at me and tell me what he did to my mom last night every time I game? It is an absolute slap in the face to every gamer I tell you. They literally forced me to spend 93 hours platinuming and 100 percenting the map in GOW. That was time I could have spent playing the same 10 maps in cod over and over, or emptying my bank account in destiny buying silver just to get that 1 outfit I like. Does no one at sony care? WHO TOOK THE BLOODY MEMO!!!!!
As I sit here and read that article about sony winning April NPD, It fills my heart with pain. A company that has decided time and time again to break from the norm and do things differently is being rewarded with sales. And I blame you gamers. I blame you for wanting quality over quantity. I blame you for wanting to own the games you payed for. I blame you for daring to want your money’s worth from a game. I blame you for rewarding a company that has shown its dedication to gamers. You’ve set us back 20 years. Now I have no choice but to preorder Spiderman, days gone, ghost of tsushima, death stranding and TLOU2. Such dark times ahead.
The Final Fantasy VII Rebirth combat director has expressed that he wants the final part in the trilogy to offer players "even more freedom".
I love the game so far but please don’t make the final part a mini game fest
Everytime I get to a new part in Rebirth it’s “mini game time”
Wccf tech writes: "Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's scope was impacted by the Xbox Series S hardware limitations, as developers could only make a game that was 25% bigger than its predecessor."
This is the issue with things like this
Xbox Series X is apparently to MS the worlds most powerful console
However the Series S is obviously a limitation because it’s underpowered and developers have to go for parity.
So what’s the point of the world’s most powerful console if you are holding third party developers back? They aren’t going to push themselves if they have to think about the weakest console.
The issue wouldn’t be as bad if it was just Xbox but you are also affecting the PS version aswell
I think developers need to start just taking advantage of a console and if one of them can’t do X Y and Z then f*** them…why should the others suffer. What’s MS going to do? The bigger the franchise the least chance MS are going to tell them to f*** off. Baulders Gate 3 seemed to have stood their ground and suddenly their “strict” parity rule didn’t really matter. We suddenly got super optimisation efforts for the Series S that got things sorted.
I agree, and the sad part is use normal folk saw it the second they announced their plans.
More info from the author of the article, I think: https://www.reddit.com/r/ki...
Quote:
"1) I was told this info from the producer of the game Martin Klíma.
2) He specifically said the game will have only one mode.
3) And this mode is 4K 30 on PS5/XSX and 1440p 30 on XSS.
4) He said that the game is already running north of the 30 FPS cap so the performance should be stable on launch, much better than KCD1.
5) The limitation was XSS because of the 10GB memory. He said that's why they wanted to make the game 25% larger.
6) Speculation on my part: the output resolution is probably upscaled and the reason why there won't be a 60 FPS mode is because it'll most likely be very CPU heavy, like Dragon's Dogma 2 for example."
Doesn't seem like they're adding a 40fps mode on PS5/Series X for launch even if they can handle it.
I'd much rather have 1440p/60fps or even 45fps. Having just one, even with the Series S in mind, is disappointing.
Remember when xbots were adamant that the series s won’t hold back the gen?
Microsoft just needs to let go of the mandatory parity. Who cares if your grandma doesn’t understand that a game cannot be played on the S. It’s not like it she can buy you a physical game for it anyway. Before buying the game put up a notice that it only works on series X. If you’re buying for a friend-allow for a refund.
Bam. Everyone is happy. Most series s owners are for casuals that want Game Pass anyway and most likely don’t purchase most games.
If the developers want it to run on S, let them figure it out.
“During the event, the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 producer also revealed that on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the game will run at 4K resolution and 30 frames per second“
Another “creative decision” right? 🤦♂️
Custom Controller Company HexGaming launched a Kickstarter campaign for their latest pro controller, Hex Phantom. - IS
It was funny for the first paragraph or two.
Something people don’t seem to understand is when you buy a game, you aren’t buying it. You’re buying a license - a right to use a studios software - on your hardware. When you sell a game, you are simply selling your agreement and a copy of the code.
No one could actually afford to “buy” a game unless you are filthy rich cuz it would cost you thousands to millions.
I think if people understood this it would help them be less snotty people or stop write things like this that I guess are trying to be funny (subjective) but end up annoying because the very premise it’s trying to entertain on is just fundamentally inaccurate and naive.
Think about this: when you buy shoes or a game controller or a box of cereal, does it come with a license agreement? Nope. But games sure do, don’t they? Cuz you don’t own them. Sigh.
When the day comes for MS to shut down 360 live access (like they did og xbox) is the day i hope they send out a patch to unlock the license of any digital games you may have on your system to let you play them offline instead of needing to verify them on your account. Sony is likely to shut down online access for the PS3 at some point as well so I hope they do the same for all Plus games they have given away that are not compatible with the PS4.
The ability to turn off servers (as has been happening) effectively cuts the value of that game in half because you lose access to an advertised portion that you initially paid for. The only way to keep a game from being completely nerfed is to never take your system online. no online, no updates, no nerfed game. Its something old school consoles have been enjoying for decades... offline gaming.
I don't get the memo but then again I couldn't even past the first paragraph
go to search a real work idiot speculator.
