>>1083321 >Sony goes full third party I wish this were actually the case. The only games they've bothered to put on PC are the current handful of movie IPs they've focused on for the past decade, and only because PS5 owners aren't buying anything other than Fortnite, CoD, and GTA. Where's Demon's Souls? PS only. Where's Astro Bot? PS only. Where's Uncharted 1-3? PS only. Where's Sly Cooper, inFamous, Tearaway, Gravity Rush, PS1 and PS2 classics, etc? PS only. It's ironic, because Sony was the one throwing a massive fit over Microsoft having "exclusivity" over games and was able to get the FTC and the EU Trade Commission to guarantee PS5 ports of Xbox first-party titles, meanwhile Sony is sitting on a massive fucking horde of exclusives but won't do dick diddly fucking shit about bringing them out. The ones in your OP? That's Bamco handling the publishing and distribution duties, and Sony is STILL blocking Microcock from getting them anyways.

>>1090433 There has literally never been a worse partner for FromSoftware than Sony themselves. Despite From being one of the earliest Playstation developers that continued to pump out a gorillion exclusives, Sony has done nothing but constantly fuck them and their publishers over time and again. It's only after Demon's Souls, and later Dark Souls, became massive, phenomenal hits with the mainstream that Sony decided that they're actually worth something and are now doing what they can to slowly buy From through Kadokawa.

>>1268919 Speaking of MS exclusivity >Microsoft plans a massive round of layoffs in the Xbox division. >"Managers within Xbox are expecting substantial cuts across the entire group." >Central Europe Distribution will be restructured with closings. https://archive.is/wPnWG https://archive.is/RlNO4 Consoles are dead.

>>1501135 Home consoles are dad, yeah. Nintendo seems to be doing fine, too bad their fucking cult sure isn't. It really is just a consequence of AAA dying out. Even the yearly release model is dying out being replaced by a single game that's updated for decades that normalniggers consume ad nauseum.

WHERE IS DARK CLOUD 1 AND 2, YOU HACK ASSHOLE DOUCHEBAGS? I KNOW YOU'RE KEEPING THEM LOCKED UP. YOU WON'T LET LEVEL 5 MAKE A SEQUEL

>>1501162 <same ID for over three months Fascinating.

>>1501274 Don't make me reset my router fagola

>>1501300 Do it, you won't.

>>1501324 You asked for it!

>>1501326 You should be doing that monthly for security reasons anyway.

>>1501326 Oh, you were the one arguing with me about about whether normal people post here or not. How ya been?

>>1501369 >How ya been? Y-you too!

How come my all of my own posts still display as (you) after my ID randomly changes? Why doesn't the admin just tie ID to what tracks (you)? Why are they separate in the first place?

>>1501436 >Why doesn't the admin just tie ID to what tracks (you)? Why are they separate in the first place? Because then (((You))) would be able to change IDs by just switching browsers, fucking retard.

>>1501431 lol >>1501436 IDs are done by IP address, the (You)s are done by local storage in your browser. Delete your cookies and cache and the (You)s will go away.

>>1501472 Yeah, we wouldn't want to make it easier for people to be anonymous on 8chan, would we?

>>1501678 What's an anonymous?

>>1501472 With the current system my ID changes when I've done nothing and don't want it to change.

>>1083321 Maybe if they made exclusives that were actually good again people would consider it

Sony doubles down on being third party: Job listing for executive who will play >a critical leadership role in shaping and executing the global commercial strategy for PlayStation Studios software titles across all digital platforms beyond PlayStation hardware, including Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox, Nintendo, and mobile https://archive.ph/TYofr Xbox part is new. Mobile technically already existed, Wild Arms and Arc the Lad were picked from the graveyard to be whored out for gotcha shit, but I don't think they were under "PlayStation Studios".

>>1608573 Just confirming what we already know None of their modern games are worth a fucking dick though.

>>1083321 >they're also on Switch (2?) now (via Namco Bandai). So just like Dark Souls on the original Switch. Back in 2018.

>>1608955 Dark Souls was a spiritual successor to the Sony IP and not owned by them.

>>1608955 Dark Souls was never a Sony IP

>>1504129 Exclusives only make sense for platform holders to add value to a hardware purchase, Sony has a few cool IPS but they pretty much let most of them die in favor of more terrible horizon zero Dawn garbage and trying to turn everything into "The last of Us" (some long winded overly emotional third person mostly walking game) I don't even want them to make new games I just want them to Port their old catalog to PC, I would love to see this list pop up (especially a lot of the older stuff) Jumping flash 1 and 2 Twisted metal 1, and 2 God of war (original series) Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Killzone Resistance (maybe) Infamous Demon souls / bloodborne Legend of dragoon Ape escape Dark cloud Primal Folklore / folk soul Jeanne d’Arc Gravity Rush Siphon filter Blasto Everybody's golf Omega boost Wild arms Alondra

[Expand Post]

Arc the lad (maybe) Crime crackers Motor tune Grand Prix Ore no Shikabane o Koete Yuke (maybe)

>>1608986 >Gravity Rush This is literally the only thing that matters to me. inFamous was cool, but I don't really feel the need to play it again. But Gravity Rush 1 and 2 are absolute must-haves on PC for me.

Sony to move away from hardware to a "community and engagement based platform" https://archive.is/UPYRC Isn't this the same wording Microsoft used?

>>1649016 >/v/ is slower than /vb/ wew >>>/vb/29610 >Isn't this the same wording Microsoft used? My guess is that it's more corporate speak than actual policy. I honestly don't see Sony giving up a Sony brand hardware device completely. I really don't see MS doing it ether but I especially don't see Sony doing it. If anything it's probably more of a catfishing/poaching scheme wher they where they expand into mobile or PC just enough to try to draw users back into their own physical ecosystems. Like what Nintendo did with Super Mario Run and Pokemon GO, really. It's going to be like >you can access the Playstation digital environment through all these different devices! <but you'll have a much shittier experience unless your on a real Playstation

Here we go, ready for the Sony fangirl salt? https://nitter.net/yAmethxst/status/1985841552288104906#m

>>1908367 This was inevitable. Like I've been saying, if Microsoft is going to make the next Xbox just a HTPC, and Sony needs to put their AAAA garbage out on PC just to make money with them, then the next Xbox will defacto run Playstation games. It will be a better Playstation than Playstation 6 due to emulation of older gen games as well as playing current gen games better. The next "Xbox" will even be able to use Playstation controllers. Every foray that Sony makes into the PC space - they'll be giving to Xbox. So the only thing they can really do is to just make their own launcher, and sell their games there through their own proprietary walled garden. And once customers realize that buying an "Xbox" is functionally the same as buying both it AND a Playstation 6 - then why the hell would people want to buy a PS6? That's going to put a lot of market pressure on Sony to just stop making hardware and become a publisher only - the only problem is... once they lose the hardware, it's pretty much all over. Nobody is going to fuck around Sony's proprietary launcher to buy third party games. Maybe Sony's own games, exclusive to the launcher, but nobody else's... and that won't sustain them. They can try to buy exclusives - but that hasn't exactly worked out so well for EGS and others who have tried. They're going to be fighting Valve's monopoly on the one side, and Microsoft's entire OS ecosystem funneling you into their stores on the other end.

>>1910321 >then the next Xbox will defacto run Playstation games We still don't know what their next brick is going to be though. Would be pretty funny though >Xbawks ports to PC in desperation >It still fails to make enough money because it's mostly garbage >Sony starts doing the same to have higher AAA profit margins >Microsoft uses that failure as a feint to use PC ports against Sony itself by making their next device a slightly less locked PC cancer device that can play PC, Xbox and Sony games If I didn't know know better one could think it was all an intentional elaborate master plan. But again, we don't know what their next piece of shit is going to be so this is all conjecture and speculation.

>>1910401 What's (not) funny is that this is turning out exactly how everybody said it would turn out in 2000 when Xbox was announced. Microsoft coming into the industry, just straight up buying entire publishing houses, and putting a Windows PC under your television in an attempt to choke out all competition from the market. It just took a little longer than usual since Ed and Seamus decided to build an actual game console rather than a Windows box - losing Microsoft two generations of progress on their plans.

>>1083321 I mourn the death of the third party scene, having the cancer of soyny infecting it.

>>1910610 Oh yeah, Microsoft ruined console gaming, financed the AAA studios you see today and almost killed PC gaming. There's a reason 7th Gen was so cancerous and that's because they had outcompeted Sony for several years, and that enough was all it was needed for Sony to try to catch up and for devs to suck their cock and push what they told them to. Sonys been copying every cancerous decision Microshart has done since and are about to fall into the same abyss they did but without a comfy matress filled with money to break their fall. >>1910709 What do you mean? The third party scene has been pretty healthy these last couple of years. If you mean the Japanese AA third party scene, then yeah, diminishing returns were already killing them by the dozens, during the PS3 days. The move to commiefornia just sealed their fate. However, plenty are still around, get more popular or are created, better quality too, I don't think many people give a shit about Mindjack, Inversion or NeverDead.

>>1910321 Backwards compatibility/emulation would be great on next gen consoles as long as they don't paywall it like Jewtendo did. Unfortunately due to greed it likely would be.

>>1922635 I don't think they can paywall it. For their own emulators on their own consoles, maybe, but if it's a Windows 11 box then they're not going to be able to stop you from just installing them like you would on your PC. Unless they highly restrict the OS access - in which case, what's the fucking point then? It's just an Xbox One/Series running in Dev Mode. It's not going to move the needle against SteamOS. Besides, if they allow Steam, Retroarch and Lewd games come as part of that package.
