>>1017794 I honestly wish Sony would pull a 180 out of nowhere after all that happened in the last two generations and release so many PS-only exclusives please throw me a new Killzone or Ape Escape, or Hell, where the fuck is Time Crisis 5? it makes me buy a console, but bewteen Concord, the shutdown of Japan Studio, their "nogaems" strategy and the constant DEI push, I'm enjoying the schadenfreude a bit too much. It's just gonna be another show of "also on PC" games and virtue signaling anyway.

>>1017794 After Crash 4, I've finally learned to stop wanting things I like to come back. I love Ape Escape almost as much as Crash, but perhaps it's better to just let it rest in peace.

>Has the great course correction begun? I doubt it. They didn't even have time to edit out Concord from their PS5 Pro reveal. I'll laugh if Fairgame$ and/or Marathon shows up. >>1017802 An Ape Escape HD collection would be easy, but they'd likely have censoreded Sayaka's butt instead of letting us experience it through every stage of the trilogy.

>>1017859 >they'd likely have censoreded Sayaka's butt They're gonna replace her with Abby.

>>1017794 >Has the great course correction begun? Probably not. It's been too soon since Concord for any kind of course correction to show just yet. It would be nice to see developers and producers actually make something fun again after realizing people have gotten sick of movie games and poz, but I think at least Sony's in too deep to really change for the better without layoffs of historic proportions. >I honestly wish Sony would pull a 180 out of nowhere after all that happened in the last two generations and release so many PS-only exclusives >it makes me buy a console Sony really shot themselves in the foot by making their games timed exclusives. They should have at least waited for the console generation to pass before making PC ports.

>Has the great course correction begun? I beliebe this year is the turning point, all woke things in cinema and movie have flopped, while stuff like Deadpool & Wolverine and Space Marine 2 have been pure money makers, its trully been the white boy summer.

BRING ANIME TIDDY BACK ALL THY TROUBLES BEGAN WHEN THOU SHUNNED THEM FOR SLICED FORESKINS IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO TURN ON THE MONEY FAUCET AGAIN seriously if they show Mecha Break I'm going to laugh

>Spoiler lol no

>>1017872 Is white boy supposed to be bot slang for kike?

>>1017880 Eh? The fuck are you talking about anon?

>>1017869 >They should have at least waited for the console generation to pass before making PC ports. I never understood this. Even back on the PS3, they had some exclusives that made them look like they cared a bit, from Killzone to R&C, to Uncharted, and back on the PS2, we had Jak and Daxter, Sly, and more. It gave the consoles a reason to be bought. Now, all they have is Astro Bot, Stellar Blade (soon on PC) and the shitty Demon's Souls remake, it'll be $799 plus paid online. They don't care for their console like they never cared for the Vita, why should I?

>>1017880 ?

>>1017794 There's also a Sonic show tomorrow, sticky?

>>1017888 I really don't care about Tom Hank's spook son making fun of people, skeletons rattling.

>>1017890 TGS is also this week. I think all this is unofficial parts of it. >>1015760

>>1017896 Ah, perhaps it would be better for the mod team to edit that thread and sticky it with the relevant events.

>>1017869 >Sony really shot themselves in the foot by making their games timed exclusives. They should have at least waited for the console generation to pass before making PC ports. Kind of doubt that logic. >The PC ports happened because dumbfucks were scalping the cucksoles to (accurately) bilk the stupidfuck consumers out of their money, therefore their software would never have gotten sold and they would have lost a crapload of money on Piss5s selling but with nogaems (which they have not addressed) >Even when the societal norms returned, it was too late, the normalfags had gotten a taste of PC gaming and realized, "holy shit it's not that bad, it's much better," Pandora's box had been opened I think Sony fucking up Helldivers 2 after they had an accidental success by immediately trying to apply console norms to PC gaming should be proof enough they don't know how to close it. Also, often it's the devs and publishers that want an out with the agreements being timed; simply put the economic conditions no longer exist for a game locked to consoles to be worth whatever Soyny could toss at you because the money has already been flowing towards PC anyways. Maybe the tiddie devs >>1017874 BUUUUUUT we all know Soyny wants to double down on chasing them out when they were the ones providing said locked-down exclusives. Nowadays any big software hit is starting out on PC, blowing up, and then getting ported to cucksole, the inverse of old industry trends. Soyny COULD just try to court the third parties it had dedicated so much effort to burn bridges back, but that's a Sisyphean task with little to no take-backsies (uh oh, can't have a viral game like Summer Lesson get you some money because some landwhale journalist gave your brand some negligible bad press!!!!!! better just declare bankruptcy). Soyny fucked itself by jumping into the globohomo quagmire and bar just saying "fuck it" and returning to PS3 and earlier business policy it landed itself into the spiked mattress and it can stay in that bed they architected for themselves.

>>1018003 The real fact is that software is what's important. It's what makes most consumers buy the hardware, and it's where the companies make most of their money anyway. They claim PS5 sold hardware, and if it's true then it's due to scalpers who aren't buying software, because there is no fucking software. I don't think they fucked up short term by porting their software to different hardware. That's just them trying to make a tiny bit of money out of their software investments, which were otherwise making nothing. The problem there is that you can't squeeze blood from a stone, and I question how many potential consumers any of these games would actually have, no matter what hardware they're on. The economic conditions for games to be locked to consoles and be profitable do exist. Nintendo is still doing it extremely successfully. The problem is that nobody else seems to be interested in making good games anymore. Sony figures they can keep making bad games if they just go multiplatform, but not only does that not make much sense in the first place, but it will harm their brand even more in the long-term, especially if they plan on releasing any more hardware in the future.

>>1018009 Nintendo's able to do it because their game budgets are more double-A than triple-A, there's no way they could have a Concord on their hands.

>>1017874 I don't want anime tiddy to go back to playstation, ever. Even if Sony does everything "correct" and rewinds to when they were the place for small ecchi-loving jap studios, they're bound to backstab them all again the moment they sense another change in culture. Playstation should just die. I'll never stop being mad!

>>1017907 Deculture is that you https://nitter.poast.org/magicalgirlnoir

>>1017907 dox or joke?

>>1018003 Allison was such a cutie. It's a shame the game never came out in English, though I guess it wouldn't make much sense to teach conversational English to a native English speaker. Then again, she's blonde... they could just play it off to the stereotype. I'd want to play it now in a proper modern headset though, since I'm sure it looked like crap on the PSVR. Also... if it's in VR, does that make her 3DPD?

>>1017794 Sony will announce their own banana shucking Samurai game.

Games?

IT'S LIVE I'M SO STUPID

Palworld but I missed the title

Remaster of both Lunar games.

Anybody else noticing HOW MUCH more this is like Nintendo Direct?

Kinda excited for the Lunar remaster, not gonna lie. Hope it doesn't have a "modern audiences" restranslation though. >>1018392 It's like Sony is learning from its betters.

>>1018392 >>1018405 Right down to the weird way they're wording things. >Enjoy the upcoming DLC from the Sonic 3 movie.

>Hitman VR Oh sic- >it's a shooter Come on man

LEGACY OF KAIN LEGACY OF KAIN LEGACY OF KAIN LEGACY OF KAIN

WHAT WHAT THE FUCK

ITS HAPPENING

>remaster killing self

This blue Nintendo Direct isn't a complete failure. I'm surprised.

They're showing so many games so quickly I'm missing some titles, sorry.

I missed the title for both of these, sorry. >>1018413 Honestly, I think it looks great. I love the art style they went for.

>>1018419 Is that fucking Lego Fortnie?

>>1018426 It was, yes.

>pre-order and get some jpegs wow-eee

>>1018426 >Is that fucking Lego Fortnie? Anon Lego Fortnite has existed in Fortnite for like a year. It's basically extremely stripped down minecraft. This is just local co-op for it.

>Horizon remaster I'm fucking crying that's so funny, why??

Such a weird collab, but Horizon is massive. Much bigger than anons probably think.

why though

>>1018436 Oh you hadn't heard? Gays Done is getting one too.

>Lego Horizon and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Does anyone even care for the series? I only ever see it talked about when Sony brings it up, if it's nominated for a game award, or people bringing up the MC's ugly face to show pandering for trannys.

They had to do Last of Us jerkoff at some point

>>1018442 As I said earlier, it's actually huge. Really popular among casual gamers. I think the first one sold 17 million copies.

>new colors I feel like this is something they should have showcased towards the middle of the show, not now.

>>1018444 I'm wondering if they ever plan on doing TLoU3. I know Drunkmann wants to, but people still remember how bad TLoU2 was.4 >>1018446 That's surprising to hear.

>>1018441 Still not touching Stellar Blade until the PC port where I can mod the costumes back to their original uncensored form.

I love fitgirl!

This coming out around the same time as AC: Shadows is such a gut punch for Ubisoft.

>Ghost of Yotei (Ghosts of Tsushima sequel) Ubisoft is officially dead.

Ooohhhh Ubisoft is so fuckedddd

>>1018456 Looks like we're playing a girl instead of Jin, though.

And it's over. I'll be posting the games I missed shortly.

>>1018464 Judging by the year Towshima takes place like 400 years after the first game.

The games I missed >Gameplay reveal for Hell is Us >Metro Awakening >announcement of Midnight Walk >Astro Bot DLC and speedrun mode

Titles I missed >Towers of Aghasba >Fear the Spotlight

>>1018438 >rerecorded audio For what purpose? It's not like MGS1 where the original audio had obvious recording issues.

>>1018448 >>1018438

>>1018448 Well it's a pretty green on that one at least.

>>1018456 >Woman Samurai lol

>>1018456 >>1018464 >>1018506 She has a dick

>>1018456 Ubisoft right now.

>>1018506 Honestly still more authentic than the nigguari is. I mean there were a few women samurai. Mostly just as official titles or possibly acting as bodyguards of the house. I wouldn't expect that any noble women would have been expected or allowed into war. Of course shinobi of both sexes existed. Probably the biggest issues is that Ghost tries to take a more grounded approach (than something like Nioh, Sekiro, Onimusha, etc.) so that makes fun kunoichi stuff to be a bit less realistic. Hopefully they'll rip off Lady Snowblood a bit. What period is it set in anyway?

>>1018510 Of course properly Ginchiyo wasn't a samurai, she was the acting head of her clan.

>>1018411 >>1018414 >not even statues are immune from trannification

>>1018411 >>1018414 >>1018522 https://archive.md/CEjcR >Modernizing the game by... <Adding trophies <Adding a modern map system <Making the art more "socially" acceptable <Re-adding beta content that was cut (For probably a reason) >Brought to you by the company that remade a 1996 game: https://archive.md/UEvZU#System_requirements >Just to make it more demanding than it's 2013 (second) reboot: https://archive.md/VN5Cy#System_requirements Oh, boy, surely NOTHING about this could possibly go wrong.

>>1018441 Imagine the robo-yuri haha

>>1018457 >>1018460 >>1018509 >Ubisoft withdrew from TGS >they're cancelling all press previews of Ass Creed Shadows disaster

>>1018622 Wish it would happen to Sonys piece of shit as well. Fucking women samurai

>>1018622 Top Kek, what a disaster.

>>1018622 Man even the lady ninja doesn't look Japanese. She looks half Cambodian or half Vietnamese or something.

>>1018622 You have to wonder what the people at Ubisoft are feeling right now, I'm not sure AC has ever gotten this kind of reception, Not even Unity. >>1018629 Could be southern, there's a lot of Ainu ancestry in Kyushu and Ryukyu. Real SEA phenotype.

>>1018627 Yeah I hope this is a wake up for the Nips and I hope it starts a pushback.

Didn't watch, was it just all shit?

>>1018667 Surprisingly not, the Lunar games are getting a modern release, there's an alright looking Soul Reaver remaster, new Dynasty Warriors, Sonic autism, a gorgeous Ghost of Tsushima sequel, and some alright looking indie titles. They showed a huge amount for a 30 minute show, it feels a lot like damage control. If so keep it coming Sony, this was one of their better Playstation Directs State of Plays.

>>1018667 all shit. shitty remasters, shitty remakes, shilling of the pro, zoomer cashgrabs about lego fortnite. oh, monster hunter's niggers too. don't care, they can kill themselves. never running out of games on duckstation, pcsx2, or rpcs3. and the best part? they are all free.

>>1018673 >gorgeous Ghost of Tsushima sequel What branch of Sony do you work for?

>>1018667 It was a surprisingly decent show, especially by Sony standards. Yeah, there was some Dragon Age shilling, Horizon shit, and I don't think the Soul Reaver remaster is going to be good considering >>1018522 , but beyond that, there was a decent showcase of games. With the cherry on top being Ghost of Yotei killing any kind of hype AssCreed Shadows had left.

>>1018622 >shitting and twisting other countries' cultures every year >finally shit on the one country whose culture matters more than their lives for over 70% of the population >immediate backlash and backpedalling You love to see it.

>>1018695 Professional Cocksucker Division, pay is 2 hamburgers a year and an Astro-Bot sex toy I don't actually like GoT as a game, but it is very pretty. The sequel looks nicer. Something I'll probably never play but I'll watch a few videos of.

>>1018715 You could say the same thing for most of SoA's games that they've developed and released since Uncharted 1.

>>1018716 **SoA? Do you mean SCA? They don't even develop games.* Uncharted was made by Naughty Dog, and when they were still independent. I wouldn't consider Naughty Dog's games pretty anyway, they're technically well done but not "pretty".

>>1018719 Lmao, fag.

>>1018446 Most of which were from people just wanting to check out that game that came with their NBA/CoD/GTA machine once they were bored with those three

>>1018730 I've seem enough pavement apes use it as their dedicated fightan' box to know that you're wrong.

>>1018446 >First One How about the second one? Because I was suckered into playing it (on a rental) because the general art design of the world was pretty good - especially the robot dinosaurs. However, everything else about it was garbage. The story, characters, animations, combat, crafting... with the music and exploration being middling at best. Then toss in a shit-load of 2018 progressivism with mary-sue literal clone of female Jesus who everybody simply loves after only meeting this (supposedly) backwards ass outcast with even less human interaction than me - as well nigger gaia super AI. I managed to finish it, but there's no way in hell I'm pirating the GOG version - let alone spending any money on the PC release. And I've never touched a Horizon Zero Interest branded game since then. I can't imagine I was the only one who checked out of the entire shitshow after being duped by the first entry.

>>1018793 >Because I was suckered into playing it That sounds a bit confusing. I was suckered into playing the first HZD on a rental. Never touched anything from the franchise since that godawful experience.

>>1018634 Jomon ancestry in the Okinawan islands is like 30% I think, full-blooded Ainu is almost full Jomon, while most mainland Japanese are just like 5%-10% Jomon if at all. (Jomon = native Japanese before mass movement from Korea (Yayoi people) in pre-Iron age Japan) But yeah they sure are different, I feel like before chink and gook influence they were probably very pacific-islander-like.

>>1018913 >Genetic data further indicates that the Jōmon peoples were genetically predisposed for short stature >Watanabe et. al (2023) states that the genetic predisposition for shorter stature among Japanese people often correlates with high Jōmon ancestry, with the opposite correlating with high continental East Asian ancestry. t.kikepedia

>>1018913 Wtf they look polynesian as fuck

>>1018913 I don't know why the guy's chin in the first pic reminds me of Terry.

>>1018948 Polynesians are SEA

>>1019032 Polynesia would usually be considered to be in Oceania.

>>1019008 *The first mugshot in the second image.

>>1019034 The aboriginal inhabitants of Madagascar, New Zealand and even parts of South America have Polynesian ancestry, so they're kind of all over the place. They were a hugely seafaring people. Wouldn't be surprising if they touched Japan somehow.

>>1018913 They look like chileans tbh >>1018936 In fact the jomon race is considered a low race by japanese people, because jomon are more likely to war activities and violence.

Former Sony exec on Ghost of Yotei drama: “don’t like it, don’t buy it” https://archive.ph/sGoqD Okay, Shawn, I won't buy your game.

>>1019658 I dont even have a pee as five

>>1019658 Has anyone from either side pointed out that onna-bugeisha exists? https://infogalactic.com/info/Onna-bugeisha

>>1019660 >>1019658 Time to pay up.

>>1019679 Like the Sisters of Battle in Warhammer, those "don't count" because they're not "real" samurai. But they also count because it's sexist to forget about and exclude units like that.

>>1018948 Old Japanese also sounds half like some islander language too, also Ainu does too. Sucks because Ainu language kinda got funneled into extinction (even the half dozen old fucks who know it "natively" today only really learned it in tandem with Japanese and mainly only used Japanese in society so even when they speak it has some Jap flair) It's weird Ainu at times look like SEAniggers and others like they're Finnish or Mongolian or something

>>1019658 >former Hopefully he inspires current employees to rally behind this stance so more people can get this important message.
