Many cite Sony's hubris with the Playstation 3 as resounding evidence that a console company should never dominate the market again. As we push forward into the 8th Generation of gaming, many wonder if Sony will return to their top spot and what that would mean for gamers. GameNTrain looks into the past to see if one-console domination would be as awful as some people think.
Alone in the Dark developer Pieces Interactive has been hit with layoffs a month after its release, as per the latest information.
That genuinely, genuinely sucks. The reboot has clear flaws, but it really felt like a solid first step for this team to receive *greater* investment.
Shenmue: Reclaiming the Path is a fan game using Dreamcast-era visuals, and tells a new story within the Shenmue saga taking place in both Hong Kong and Guilin. Its expected to release on September 16th.
Something about recreating old school graphics in an era of HD high poly photo realism just hits a spot. I'm not nostalgic cause I mostly played GameCube and GB/A, but it's a visual style that gets over looked even by indies.
Definitely a fan project. Terrible hand animations. Some characters have very bad body proportions. Some look like little kids in adult bodies. Some have short arms, small head, big hips and so on.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
What in the world would gamers want one console to dominate, we already know how Sony is like when they have a dominant market share in PS2, you get the $599 PS3 and they tell people they should get a second job to afford one. Sony being friendly to indie developers on PS4 and a $399 price is exactly because of competition and they are losing market share this gen.
The author says, "I am a firm believer in software – not hardware – competition."
Speaking strictly for myself, I am a firm believer in PlayStation® exclusives; if that means said console is dominating then so be it.
"What gamers need to realize is that when one console dominates, we all win."
PS1
PS2
PS3
I would too would say, all gamers won with these machines...
A monopoly is not a good thing. Competition breeds innovation and value. A monopoly is fantastic on a corporation, perhaps, but horrible for the consumer.
Anyone who has had the unfortunate experience of real-life should know this.
There is no "benefit" to hardware domination. We didn't just have one of the greatest generations of gaming because one console dominated.
Games cost more to make= they get released on more than one system. Make more money back. That's the sole reason there are less exclusives.
With a 0.8 rating from Greenpeace on how much Co2 emissions they release it would be better if Nintendo never existed. That is just fing disgusting for one of the richest companies in the world.
Let this sink in
Over 150 million DS sold
Over 100 million Wii
Over 30 million 3DS
+ all the other shit that fucks up our planet, we are so f***ed its not even funny. You know we're at the point that we cant even fix it ? We can't even fing fix it.
Nintendo has always done things for itself, not for the greater good , f Nintendo.
