Once again, Kojima and his team are in the US to shoot scenes for Death Stranding in the performance capture studio in SCEA’s San Diego campus.
God of War creator David Jaffe is fascinated with the Xbox Games Showcase and has special advice for PlayStation as well.
Jaffe is spot on, PS has been a shambles recently, why they wasted the time and money on that God awful looking Concord amd $Fairgame is beyond me but thats this new Sony, remasters remakes and GAAS is their goal moving forward, meanwhile MS just delivered a stunner of a showcase with massive variety and SP greatness, something I EXPECT from Sony..
I mean, we do have to factor than MS spent 60+ BILLION dollars to be able to have a showcase like that.
We also need to factor that regardless of how great the show was, a large % of those games including COD and DOOM are coming out on PS5 day and date.
Still kind of incredible to think they are giving all those games day one on GP, if they do not increase yearly it is an incredible value.
'MS spent 60+ BILLION dollars to be able to have a showcase like that.'
Yep, this is key. It was a solid showcase no questioning that, but Sony can no longer show off any Bethesda or Activision games ever again at any of their SOP/Showcases, this is a big slice of the industry MS just bought up and slapped their logo on. This isn't excusing Sony from a sub-par SoP, but it's to add context, they should still and hopefully need to do better next time.
Most of the games shown off at the showcase are coming to playstation and will obviously generate much more revenue than on xbox consoles, this whole doomerism surrounding playstation is ridiculous following just one good showcase from MS in like, what, several years, more? PS5 first half of the year so far has blown Xbox out of the water with Rebirth, Ronin, Steller Blade and the super popular Helldivers 2. PS5 will continue to sell strongly, not sure about Series especially after the ridiculous price point of the new SKU.
Woah $60 billion if they tossed in another $40 Billion they could have just bought SONY
lol, this was an interesting exchange
Jericho:
Aren't all these games going multiplatform?
David Jaffe:
Not all but many and even if they all are, the point is actually stronger: IMO, you put out great games and charge people 70 bucks/SINGLE game or 15 bucks for HUNDREDS of games (including the ones they showed) then GAMEPASS is going to soar.
-It was M$ best show in a long time, seemed like more games I want to play, instead of all the "we love everyone" talk, Indies, filler etc, while lacking actual AAA gameplay= No, Just show us great games, not concepts, and they did just that. B+ imo, would've been an A if they had more hard release dates, add another Gears level reveal and it would've been an A+.
@rpGSama LOL all the games that made a big splash were xbox exclusives and theyre not going to PS5 ..
I guess you could say he is spot on if you cant critically think for yourself.
First of all there is an audience for live service and multiplayer...everyone kept saying how Sony doesnt cater to that audience unlike MS with games like Halo and now they release multiplayer titles and everyone is bitching.
Secondly Concord looks like a typical hero shooter fps title and in that regard it doesnt look like crap and Fairgame has not been shown but if it is anything like payday I would say there is an audience for that as well. If Sony can launch another 2 succesful live service games like helldivers 2 then I can understand that push. It would also compete in a very competitive landscape but Helldivers2 managed it. We shall see with the other two.
And lastly ...yeah thats it...those are their only live service games and multiplayer focused titles they got in the works...everything else is single player oriented so nothing has changed...not to mention none of their major 1st party are really focusing on live service...once again NOTHING has changed.
As a bonus...pretty much everything people are really excited about from the showcase is releasing on playstation as well. And the games that may not release at launch will likely release later on. Perfect Dark, Fable and Avowed are the only really interesting titles they have and 2 of them have unknown release dates and have not been shown in a way where we can confidently say how they will play.
Until Sony has an actual showcase Id say it is best to mind yourself with loose speech.
@crows90
Sony went over board with the sht though. Also bot everyone was saying it. I was thinking good. We don't need that sht.
That new sony(Jim ryan) was likely fired cause they weren't feeling it either.
Jaffe has had a hard on for Sony for quite some time let's be honest.
Also far as Sony remastering, remaking, pretty sure Xbox did and would be doing the same thing if they actually had something from the Xbox one Era worth it.
Sony's certainly beating them to the punch on selling upgrades to and remaking games from a generation still getting new games.
Gosh I hope the Zero Dawn Remake is a fake rumor.
Every generation PS always has the best AAA 1st,2nd & 3rd party exclusive games, in that regard I know PS has something great cooking in the kitchen for the near future but after the 2024 XB great E3 style showcase it's really time for PS to stop being so secretive & show PS owners what they are looking forward to when it comes to first-party exclusives. I've seen many disappointing XB showcases but this year for the first time in a long time XB brought it to the table. After 2018 E3 Sony just doesn't reveal their first party offerings like they used to & hopefully Sony/PS starts to listen to the feedback & bring PS owners a great showcase.
It's been an odd couple of years. I do hope we see it pick up next year, sooner or later. 4 years and there simply just haven't really been much games that make most want to upgrade their ps4 to the 5.
With Kojima gone, a lot is riding on Konami's revival of Metal Gear.
Not really, Konami is basically in name only and like so many other Japanese studios that have come and gone they are just going to be an IP troll and milk that cow until it is dry. Also one of the advertised features is playing the game from a different camera view while everything else remains the same will just result in making the game easier like what happened with Twin Snakes.
If this turns out good and gamers support it we will get the other ones.. i really hope we get MGS original in zanzibar, Peace Walker and Portable Ops remakes after this one.. they are related with naked snake
Portable Ops was sooooooo good and underrated
Konami might not be super active in the videogame business anymore, or less, but they still make a ton of money with their collections and pachinko machines.
and their castlevania series on netflix is really successful also.
@jinsing
Your dislikes shows this sites situation
Konami has been doing all of that for years now like there contra games or mgs ports
mgs survive anyone
When are people going to learn that all Konami is doing with these games Is licensing them out? They are not trying to revive their game development Branch and they are not the ones developing this. It is studios that came to them and asked to use the license to make a game and they have been doing this pretty much since MGSV
Remaking all his work reaks of desperation. The only reason they are getting away with it is everyones deep love for the series. If delta is successful (which as of right now it should be), they'll be sure to remake all of them.
Big shoes to fill, and compared to SH2 - this is as much a 1:1 remake as you can get. You can still see the PS2 bones in the movements and how the cutscenes have the same angles. If anything, I'd have preferred the reverse.... with SH2 being closer to a 1:1 remake but prettier, and have MGS3 have a little more freedom.
Ideally, MGS3 with a MGSV skin in terms of gameplay and freedom of approach. This is more like a high budget remaster than a remake. Having recently replayed the Bluepoint remaster, this is going to be like that same experience but even prettier.
But, as with both MGS3 and SH2, nearly impossible shoes to fill if not outright so. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Such is the legacy of these GOAT titles.
It's a one to one remake, using the same voice recordings too. Not a reimagining, no new content thus far announced, just a straight remake of a game that already exists, but now with prettier graphics. There's no revival, they proved they can't make anything related to MG after Survival. They'll just remake all the games and people will eat it up.
We have the ten finalists for Develop:Brighton’s Indie Showcase competition right here, so take a look ahead of the event next month.
another PS4 masterpiece incoming. can't wait for this game.
The more I hear.. the more I want. Easily my most anticipated title, easily.
This is such an exciting project on so many levels.
Kojima unleashed, a really interesting cast, an inter-dimensional Lovecraftian sci-fi concept, and stealth gameplay involving "ropes and sticks" with brand new mechanics that turn existing tropes and expectations on their head.
Looking forward to seeing gameplay, hopefully at E3.

Unshackled by Konami, he can do his thing now..
