I smell a Video Game crash, not on mobile and mobile will survive, but is mobile gaming really the kind of gaming we want? And if that's really the case, most gamers haven't been all too impressed with the current generation of gaming and have been going back to retro console gaming, maybe moreso now than ever to catch up on their backlog. With trends being the way they are and those current gen seeing the fun those who are having reliving happy memories, they're gonna want the sa...
Xbox sales suck and Final Fantasy is synonymous with PlayStation, always has been. Nobody talks about Final Fantasy on Nintendo at all except for Final Fantasy III on the American Super Nintendo
Xbox doing the marketing job for PlayStation again. They know more copies of these games are gonna sell on PlayStation. Oh well
But everyone needs to stop expecting that Xbox is paving the path for gaming for the future. This mentality has to change, and this isn't a democracy. Xbox is taking this route because they've lost consumer trust and continue to try and take advantage of their customers. They haven't been able to recover from this and are trying to restore their name. Coming in dead last every console generation isn't what Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer wanted, they wanted to compete and be on t...
We knew this. We knew Game Pass isn't good for the industry as a whole which is a huge plus for Xbox taking another step toward third-party l, it could stamp out the horrible business practices they've introduced into gaming.
I didn't learn this until just recently, but Game Pass operates under some really dicey rules. Developers don't find success on Game Pass by Game Sampling, it hurts them. That's why larger companies that publish older games on Game ...
Sounds familiar doesn't it? Xbox has never been creative or innovative
Is this NOT what Nintendo called theirs? PlayStation originally called, what Nintendo called their DIRECT, PlayStation Showcase..... And Xbox did the same thing.
This is why Xbox is a slowly dying breed. People just can't or refuse to see it. Xbox CANNOT do their own thing or they don't know how, all they know how to do is mimic the competition, but that's not Xbox only mentality, that's how Microsoft has always done business. And it's hard to get ahead ...
They are really trying their best to keep Xbox relevant in the gaming news. Xbox's decision to release more games multiplatform are really taking and effect and now it sounds like Xbox hopes it'll cause a January 6, it's almost like the same idea, incite a riot. Stir everyone up and not have to be the sad sucker that goes down alone. Misery loves company. This is getting nasty. Xbox fans are still in a fitted rage, like they learned to do when they were a kid to throw a fit in hop...
For once, I think you and I are in agreement
That's why gamers liked Naughty Dog was just that. When PS1 died, they were done making Crash Bandicoot. When PS2 died they were done making Jak & Daxter. They should've done the same with Uncharted and The Last of Us. New hardware, new IP, but they quit doing that and what happened?
He did Uncharted 4 with Bruce Straley, but look what happens when he runs the show, when he has someone whose making better decisions, look what happens. Straley helped him through Uncharted and the first Last of Us, Straley is more level-headed and isn't woke. But Druckmanns right hand man right now is Anthony Newman whose just as bad
I forgot about that, until now. I thought that's part of what happened to Hennig, who Druckmann led everyone to believe she was the greatest mentor he had, but once she obviously served her purpose, he got rid of her. Again, look at him trying to move along without Straley, he can't. Not as good as he thought. Druckmann and Newman are poison at Naughty Dog. I thought Druckmann was gonna bring Newman in as the co-President, and I still fear that's where Newman is still headed but, ...
Yup
Totally agree
This dude's a horrible Studio President. His ego got the better of him and Naughty Dog has nothing as a result. He focused too much on him and his own personal woke, liberal, political agenda. Gamers don't wanna go to church to be preached to, its why organized religion numbers are suffering, but wouldn't you know it, games do just that and gamers are ignorant to it.
Druckmann has focused only on what makes his name big, The Last of Us was a game that during the...
And there's still nothing to play on PS5. Look at how amazing PS1 was. How PS2 did it more and did it better. Look at how there was something always on tap for PS3! PlayStation 4 slowed down a lot but was really consumer friendly...... Then Jim Ryan took over and Herman Hulst came in and look at what we have. Devs aren't doing anything. I have this fancy new console and where is it? In a box in my closet while a PS4 standard and PS4 Pro sit under my TV each with 2TB HDDs and another e...
How in the world did South Park make it to a Nintendo console? Did you see in the Nintendo Presentation how they showed all this kiddie games and then comes an animated game..... South Park? Can you imagine a very uniformed parent seeing that and buying it for their kid thinking "Its Nintendo, they make great stuff for kids" only to find your kid playing that? There wasn't anything in the presentation that warned parents, there wasn't even an ESRB rating. I'm really surp...
[RESPONSE PART I]
As consumers that buy games and hardware, how long are we going to allow this happen? We've lost jobs and have wondered what on earth we're going to do to survive, how we're going to feed our families and keep a roof over their head. You'd think that entertainment companies would be wise in their hiring process, and think about those kinds of things. What are we looking at long-term. But, it's always like: You're a piece of tissue p...
DARN RIGHT!! They move the hardware we want. They support the services we want and oppose the services we don't want. The gaming industry seems to look at Nintendo for what to do, even though Nintendos biggest success was the Wii that hasn't seen such success since the NES and barely defeating the Sega Genesis by a small number, Sega having had a REALLY GOOD RUN! But, if Nintendo whose total dependence is on videogames and hardware having their hands on nothing else STILL has exclusiv...
