Prediction thread Anonymous 11/10/2024 (Sun) 01:48:17 Id: bcf94c No. 1037955
Conjecture based on how the industry and companies operate: >Half Life title will be released with the Steam Deck 2, won't be Half Life 3 >Switch successor will be unveiled in February, right before the financial quarter ends as Nintendo stated >Ubisoft will start selling their aseets and IP to other companies after Asscreed: Nigger flops >EA will gut Bioware like a fish early next year >AAA companies outside EA will dial back on the poz due to Trumpstein winning >PS6 and the next Xbox will sell like absolute dogshit >GTA6 will be ported to PC in less than 6 months >S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 will be fun but pale in comparison to the originals atmosphere >Metroid Prime 4 will skip the Switch >Bloodborne fully emulateable on PC late next year Feel free to post your own predictions
>>1037955 I think the Switch 2 will probably be revealed after Thanksgiving but before Christmas
>>1037959 That would lower Switch sales during Christmas, not happening.
>>1037963 Same could've been said for the original Switch yet it was announced in October of 2017.
>Devs will triple down on the sjw shit >Devs kick the sjw parts out to regain Gamers' trust Are some of my thoughts.
>>1037993 What are you talking about? The Wii U and the 3DS were already long dead in the water when the Switch was announced.
I predict OP is a fag.
MARK don't you fucking dare delete this or merge it with threads because its a "low effort generic thread". Let this thread be >>1037955 >Steamdeck is already a success and steamdeck 2 will be the retail model available in brick and mortar stores from next year, will cannibalize Xbox market and Playstation would be on life support. >M$ would release their handheld device before SD2 and it'll sell poorly due to windows and AI crap. They'll shelf it within months. >Many indie titles will lash out on trump by going full SJW hamfisted pushing their agenda, and will be laughed out >Other indies would hold back on inserting gay and cuck agenda after seeing their failures, they'll silently weep as they're being suppressed but will see success
something something industry will crash tomorrow cue the smug anime girl source: my ass
>>1038047 Gaben has already said the Steam Deck won't see an upgrade or refresh for a while since they don't want their current customer base to feel burned by buying the alpha models, so don't expect a new Steam Deck for a few years.
>>1037955 >PS6 and the next Xbox will sell like absolute dogshit >Bloodborne fully emulateable on PC late next year These are your most realistic predictions.
>>1037955 >>EA will gut Bioware like a fish early next year I doubt that will happen, as EA wants to have an RPG division, and it's better optics to call it Bioware, rather than EA RPGs the same way they have EA Sports. At best they fire 80% of the people, and replace them with other people, but it will still be called Bioware.
>>1038075 At best they may scrap their DEI departments/support like Boeing and Toyota.
>>1038076 I don't think Bioware has DEI departments, as they drank the Kool-Aid over a decade ago and do not need any outside help on how to be woke. I wouldn't be surprised if they are more in line with the leftist thinking than the average DEI spokesman.
>>1038079 I meant EA in general, more in the way that they would tell Bioware to tone it down so they can at least put some sales out for the next game.
>>1038079 Wasn't there a whole controversey over EA essentially hiring people to learn the jobs of current Bioware staff just to fire the Bioware employee once that person was trained up. I can't remember if DEI was used as the reason or if they wanted actual ideological adherents or if the ideological adherents just happened to be more loyal to EA over Bioware.
>>1037955 I predict that next year, a bunch of video games will come out, they will be overpriced will be out on consoles. except for the PS5 of course.
>>1037955 >>Bloodborne fully emulateable on PC late next year With the way things are going with old PS3/Xbox360-only titles and beyond getting PC ports nowadays, Bloodborne might see a proper port and not just a RPCS3 update that makes Bloodborne work. RDR1 was released just the other day.
>>1038116 Yeah, but Sony isn't touching anything by Sony Japan because they're dumb enough to think it won't sell. Enjoy remasters of Horizon and Thr Last of Us though!
>>1038071 >>1038116 >Bloodborne fully emulateable on PC late next year Have you not been keeping up with ShadPS4? It's emulateable now.
>>1038179 Still has major issues, mostly graphical
>>1037955 Todd Howard will be forced to come up with a lie about TES 6, because daddy Micro(penis)soft starts to lose its cool. Starshitfield get canned.

Fuck it why not >Cyberpunk 2077's sequel will somehow be less leftists than the first game, likely in line gameplay wise to what was shown off in the original E3 bull-demo >We will later learn that the top brass of CD Project Red around the present shat themselves over bombs like concord and demanded a major rework >This will also be cited as a major reason they switched to UE >There will be a major movement from fagdevs to unionize the industry after a massive amount of layoffs from major publishers (similar to what the American animation industry is trying now) >We will later learn that this was the result of them outright canceling projects and downsizing due to disastrous high budget releases >The push will fail, and we will receive a mountain of indie slop in its place >Due to Trump winning the election, major publishers are going to try and "correct" themselves to win customers back >Nothing will change gameplay wise, just that there will be PS3 era bland protags and softcore porn embedded into the games >Normalfags will love this at first, then get sick of the shitty gameplay, causing major drop offs and even whale farms to fail >This will ultimately lead to the return of experimental AA games, and the extinction of AAA games for a few years
>>1038198 >Cyberpunk 2077's sequel will somehow be less leftists Cyberpunk 2077 was far from left wing if anything that game was shockingly centre, as much as it shits on crops. It shits just as hard on government authoritarianism and very hard on leftism, I was taken aback with how much venom characters have towards commies.
>>1038203 You miss understand. I am not saying the original was left wing, rather what is coming later is going to not even have less bones thrown to the left than even the original. (They could set in in cyberpunk poland which to my limited knowledge of canon is resisting the corp control and the EU which wants to rob them of independence from their system)
>>1037955 >GTA6 will be ported to PC in less than 6 months Not sure for "less than 6 months" but this will happen.
(120.74 KB 636x542 tears.jpg)

>>1038198 >This will ultimately lead to the return of experimental AA games, and the extinction of AAA games for a few years Yes please.
>>1038243 >Not sure for "less than 6 months" It's not 2013 anymore PC makes about as much as all 3 consoles combined, the only reason this isn't getting announced on PC is because Microsoft and Sony are paying out the ass for it to happen as GTA is a console seller. But no matter how much money they get it still doesn't compare to the amount of money they would get by getting it on PC.
>>1038251 X to fucking doubt, the Switch's software sales are ridiculous. Last fiscal year it sold roughly 200,000,000 software units.
>>1038460 GTA 6 isn't on switch though
>>1038463 Yeah, and I don't know why they didn't just pay some porting company a few peanuts to work on a Switch version of GTA 5 and 6 for basically free mountains of money.
>>1038065 >gaben already said upgrade or refresh in a while >steam deck oled released with almost everything needed ina sequel Im sure you can trust gabe, he'll just call it Steam Deck OLED ep.2
>>1037955 >Half Life title will be released with the Steam Deck 2, won't be Half Life 3 Half-Life: Barney. >Ubisoft will start selling their aseets and IP to other companies after Asscreed: Nigger flops Ubisoft is (French) Canadian. This won't happen unless a Conservative Prime Minister is elected. >PS6 and the next Xbox will sell like absolute dogshit PS6 has no disk drive. X-BOX doesn't have a new console because Microsoft wants to cut down overhead for Game Pass, or it comes with a free one year subscription to Game Pass if pre-ordered. >EA will gut Bioware like a fish early next year Veilguard wins GOTY, but production is scaled down due to the changing political climate. >S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 will be fun but pale in comparison to the originals atmosphere STALKER 2 will be bad because it has to run on consoles first. There will be more women in the Zone than expected. Any villains will have been hastily rewritten to be more Russian.
>>1038522 I had to double check but unless my reading comprehension has dropped they are a company that originated, is headquatered in and trades in France.
>>1038596 Ubisoft (the publisher) is French. Ubisoft (the developer) is French Canadian. Ubisoft has other branches, but the Montreal branch is modern Ubisoft. It develops all of its titles and is kept on life support by the Canadian government.
>>1038465 Because they bloated the game as it switched console gens and it can no longer run on the nintablet.
>>1038075 >At best they fire 80% of the people, and replace them with other people, but it will still be called Bioware. Didn't they already do this?
>>1038203 I find that hard to believe from a game that perma-stamps a tranny flag onto your car. >>1038744 >>1037955 >>1038596 To add onto what >>1038522 was saying, Ubishit is also generally considered the cornerstone of Leaf vidya industry. If it gets cannibalized for parts and sold off domestically, that's not just an admission of defeat for the leftist trajectory, that's signalling to the world that Canada can't hack it - it'd be a national embarrassment.
>>1038822 >it'd be a national embarrassment It would also collapse the economy of Montreal and thus Quebec, or at least send Quebec into an economic downward spiral. Ubisoft is foundational to Quebec's identity as a Canadian province by drawing in Canadian and American workers, and it started the gentrification of the city. Eidos/Squeenix Montreal, Motive, and WB Montreal are too small and too new and and too unsuccessful and too dependent on contract work for capeshit that flops in the long term to pick up the slack.
>Sony starts selling PS1 games on Steam for an "official" emulator (which is really just an existing FOSS project with a fancy UI) to pump its software sale numbers >Marvel Rivals adds Gurihiru style Power Pack <game "journalists" flip their shit about a bunch of white kids getting in over some shitty identity politics characters nobody actually wanted or remembers and resort to calling everyone who likes them pedophiles >in latest cost cutting measure, DC is reduced to the bare minimum of contractually obligated new comics and otherwise exists only for collected reprints of arcs/minis <Marvel soon follows since the infrastructure can't justify existing for one company+some smaller companies >major western country actually tries to crackdown on gocha <the "journalists" circle wagons trying to defending these practices <this backfires because a media conspiracy to hook children on gambling is something legislators actually care about because they look good fighting it
>>1038822 ubisoft will more realistically be broken up into different companies and sold independently. So atleast it would appear as the company Ubisoft i still going strong but actually its a fragment of its shell
>>1039213 ah nice ID
>>1039214 spooky ID if you're a nip!

>A group of military trained criminals try pull a "bank heist" on Rockstar North HQ(steal dev project info and later re-sell it on black market) which leads to a hostage crisis, they all end up being killed with no civilians/workers harmed. If the perpetrators turn out to be mostly white then you'll have endless bitching about how gamers are toxic and its gamergate/trump's fault from the journos. If the perpetrators turn out to be mostly non-white, "thoughts and prayers" from journos but boomer politicians start making Jack Thompson tier arguments on why violent video games need to banned/censored and regulated. It becomes a massive cultural war issue online and GTA 6 gets delayed to 2026. >MGS Delta sells like hotcakes, which gives Konami to greenlight MGS1, MGS2, and MGS4 remakes >Death Stranding 2 is a surprising flop in terms of sales, so no DS3 >Some indie dev(betting its a troon)pulls a "Jussie Smollett" and blames it on "gamergate/gamers" >F2P MMORPG's become flooded with advanced AI >Ubisoft finalizes their sale to Tencent but its blocked due to geopolitical reasons, so the Saudis(SNK) buy them instead >The Witcher 4 gets cancelled due to budget constraints and is later turned into a digital comic >There will be a another American lawsuit regarding copyright and emulation preservation which would argue that older video game titles that are out of print can be used as a archive for recreational purposes like literature, film, and audio. Expect a massive astroturfing campaign from journos, fanboys, re-sell merchants, and video game companies on how "emulation hurts the industry" if the lawsuit is taken to all way to the Supreme Court
>>1039546 Is CDProjectRed really that financially damaged from Cyberpunk?
>>1039214 Repeating numbers!
>Valve brings back Steam machines with the Steam desktop, deck 2 and decktop just as Microsoft announces the Xbox Series Z, which is the 3DO all over again. >Nintendo in cooperation with Canadian, US and British authorities arrest multiple suspected emulator developers in Kim Dotcom-style specops raids with considerable collateral damage from trigger-happy US PMC drone operators, Syria and Iran see an economic boom from Monero donations to Switch 2-compatible Yuzu/Ryujinx forks operating out of basements in Tehran and Damascus. >Nintendo's Switch phone launch ends with trillions of yen in losses due to Bangladeshi slave labor deliberately inserting faulty, exploding batteries into units aimed at the NATO market to protest the Palestinian genocide. >Japan ends all pro-immigration policies and institutes draconian security checks on any 〇人 trying to enter the country following a foiled radical emuslamist terrorist attack at Nintendo's headquarters. >a Czech Runescape botnet on the cusp of sapience detonates a nuke in the Taiwan strait to disrupt rival Chinese goldfarming operations, finally triggering the great vidya crash of the 21st century due to the server infrastructure of several high-profile gacha games getting caught in the EMP. >Mark seizes power in the fallout and becomes the first King of Israel since biblical times. >Sega buys SIE.
>>1039597 Are you high as a kite, Anon?
>>1039214 One in a million ID.
>>1039214 I dub you... THE FOREMAN.
>>1039265 What's your favorite weapon? Mines the blade >>1039487 Yes, very enjoyable if short and mostly arena based.
>>1039487 Image FEAR but with better movement, better gunplay, really good music and better gun feedback but with less enemy variety, basically no story, some half-baked SciFi horror and also being pretty short but has an arena mode. You are fighting different gunman 99% of the time. These gunman are pretty fun though. They chatter and react to you wrecking their shit in. The levels are all straight lines with arenas but at least each one has a unique theme to it, like a cultist castle, jeff bazos tower and medical institute etc and they have good variety within them. You can also duel-wield shotguns and the way you juggle them in the reload animation is just chef's kiss. All the just sound amazing and their sound design is top, the way they bang and click is amazing. >>1039612 Shotgun.
>>1039671 >>1039612 Thanks for the feedback, I've had it on my wishlist but have been hesitent to buy it given I never got round to completing the original fear.
>>1038822 No he's surprisingly correct about 2077 being aggressively center. It takes heavy jabs on left wing views as much as it does for capitalist ones.
>>1039709 when do they do that out of interest, the closest I think of off the top of my head is the mox and silverhand being a lying egoist doing it all because he's angry alt is dead.
>>1038822 >I find that hard to believe from a game that perma-stamps a tranny flag onto your car. First, not your car. Second, the tranny in that questline literally the bad guy! If you do what xir/xer says then you get the bad result. >>1039721 Judy whole fucking questline about the whole unionize the hoes against the not yakuza. If you dont go with the yellow pussy then every fucking one get massacred by the japs. You only need to not accept the money to not piss off Judy. Also see Pacifica. A failed nigger ghetto where nigs holding back nigs. You can also consider the failing major a lefty who will be beaten by a more right leaning candidate. Of course that questline has a lot of can of worm. (brainwashing people, jewish control, rigged democracy, shadow goverment) Ther reason why >>1039709 anon is right, because the crerator of the trpg wanted a setting where the main antagonist is the whole fucking city and not just some group with political agenda. Night City is technically a Gotham copy. A city which breaks its residents like a living entity. No matter how low or high are you on the social ladder. You only get the semi-good endings if you fuck off.
>>1039757 > No matter how low or high are you on the social ladder. You'll never beat Night City, the best V honestly can do is >Cheat it >Leave it >Learn it's game well enough to live high but never truly winning.

>>1037955 More fucking remakes and remasters, playing it safe because of GamerGate.
>>1039757 >>1039793 thanks for the insight.
>>1039757 The mayor quest line is an interesting one becaus it extends beyond money to systems of power in my understanding. The people (AI) in control are beyond the monetary system into direct levers of power much like arasaka is in controlling mortality. It kind of extends beyond the dictorum of economics driving power.
>>1039793 It's an abusive relationship as the game puts to you.
>>1039214 >>1039213 Those numbers confirm that ubishit is gonna die soon.
