Do online game streaming services mark the end of Exclusive Games as we know them? Are consumers okay with the direction the industry is going?
Following a recent interview with Sony, Naughty Dog head Neil Druckmann claims the original intent was “unfortunately lost” in the process.
Glad he clarified it but i'm still somewhat skeptical. Plus, his comments about how Ai will revolutionize storytelling were still pretty iffy.
Druckmann claims the tech could 'push the boundaries of storytelling in games.'
I’m more interested in what else he said.
“Neil Druckmann says new Naughty Dog title could ‘redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming’
He also said it has "ethical issues we need to address" but of course that doesn't get the clicks.
I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.
CD Projekt RED and Yigsoft have launched The Witcher 3 REDkit on PC. We interviewed both studios to discuss the release of these mod tools.
You ask that in a time when we're frequently getting exclusives on every platform every few weeks?
Huh? Have you seen the PS4 lineup?
If you think you'll be playing PS4 exclusives using PS Now on PC, as they release, slap yourself lol. There's so many reasons that that isn't likely, but business is the most obvious reason.
PC gamers still have way more incentive to buy a PS4 than they do an Xbox One due to the fact that
1. The PS4 exclusives won't be on PS NOW the day they release and you'll probably have to wait a year or two to play them.
2. Since the games will be streamed and won't be running natively on PC hardware the games won't be able to take advantage of the hardware on PC and with game streaming comes lower resolutions, input lag, compression, etc so unlike Microsoft's exclusives, the definitive version of all of Sony's games will still be on the PS4.
What Sony is doing is a lot different from what Microsoft is doing. I think people are over exaggerating (i'll admit that even I did when I first heard this news). Now that I put more thought into this I don't think this will hurt PS4 console sales as much as people think now. A lot of PC gamers will still buy a PS4. It won't hurt PS4 sales that much imo..
I just think it's interesting that all this time you have had people like kribwalker that have been crapping on this service, saying it sucks and mention all the issues I mentioned in my 2nd paragraph yet as soon as PS4 games get announced for it they do a complete 180 and act as if the service is great and they can't wait to get on the service. Ya'll wasn't with it before and wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole but now it's 1 of the greatest things since sliced bred nd you can't wait to use it, am I right? Lol it's pretty amusing to see how quickly people are willing to change their tune on something when it suits their agenda.
