Ah, this old nugget of a debate. As Game Pass and PS Plus gain steam, some worry that AAA studios will lose money in streaming.TL;DR not entirely, but that won't stop some in the industry from stressing about it.
Finally, the Vietnamese government has officially responded to Steam being blocked in the country.
VPN to buy games, fuck that if it's allowed or not, or just use a VPN and torrent what you can.
If the game is crap then yes there will always be negative feedback it comes with the territory. It's called word of mouth or welcome to the internet. Where the truth about a game comes out really fast whether the game is good or crap. If you can't handle the criticism because of a game then why publish the game. Why should people who never criticized or even played the game be punished? Vietnam has some really screwed up laws block Steam because they don't answer us rule. And going on a witch hunt with Steam please. Where's the proof, where's the evidence of this witch hunt. Somebody is butt hurt and has a Vietnamese Karen leading the witch hunt.
The Persona / Shin Megami Tensei cosplay gathering allowed fans of the acclaimed JRPG series to meet up during FanimeCon 2024.
Frame generation technology has arrived on consoles, amplifying frame-rates and potentially transforming experiences.
Impressive results... sadly I don't have a 120hz display. I was thinking this technique could increase fps on any game that supports it regardless of the display.
Now I've extensively tried it I'm not too fussed about 120 fps. Give me a locked 60 and more details and I'm more than happy
These comparisons are always a bit strange to me. They always seem to take the worse examples of each and apply them to GP.
Spotify for instance, with the exec saying it killed people wanting to buy CDs. Spotify came way after the unnecessary need to buy CDs, Apple's iPod was already making waves of owning digital music. Even before that Napster was the big thing that was going to destroy the music industry.
There's always been a level of technical progression when it comes to music, from vinyl, 8 track, cassettes, CD and so on. The same can be applied to all media, games included.
Developers and publishers will adapt with the times as they always have.
No way in hell
Its like "will the veggie burgers kill the mcdonalds?" type of a question
No because I am a collector I like the sense of ownership. I don't like being tied down to a subscription based service like Gamepass as an example and I won't buy digital unless I have to. Plus with the physical if the game is a pile of shit I can trade it in. If a company loses the license to a particular franchise. I can still play that game any time I want I know if you bought it digitally you can check you transaction history and redownload. Physical after a while drops faster in price because companies want to get rid of the title or its been out so long its just cheaper to buy physical over its digital cousin. I bought Death Stranding for $15 at a pawnshop on PSN it's still too pricey. Will I buy an all digital PS5 no will I buy the Series S no I like physical games. If other people want to go that route let them to me if games start going digital and streaming service only I am just going to stick with the older machines.
I beleive both playstation premium and gamepass are good for gaming provided businesses do what they can afford to offer with these services and it doesnt impact there ability to make true AAA games and the devs still make enough money to make these great games.
