Pach, Pach, Pach... why do you annoy me so? Have these systems not existed and strived for many years already. PC, Mobile and Console gaming, do not take away from each other directly. They can an will continue to co-exist. People like different things. There are solutions that meet the needs of different types of people. There just happen to be some cross adoption.

Lboogieskells3863d ago

Agreed, I think console gaming will always be around along with the other mediums.

k-dillinger3862d ago

yea 1st time i agree with pach man love his comment about keyboard and mouse lmao thankkkk you pach glad someone actually came out and said that and shut them up i think he just earned himself alot of respect from me here on out for that

EXVirtual3862d ago

Thank you!
PC, consoles and mobiles offer completely different experiences and can easily co-exist, just like Physical and digital distribution. Neither has to die.

@ Bigpsppy Bubbles+ Well Said!

Console Gaming is the result of all the new things tried on the PC but put together in a more refined package.

Most Hot gaming trends started on the PC in one form but then were adapted by consoles and taken further to apeal to a broader audience SPorts FPS, MMO's, Point n CLick adventures, etc..

Console Gamings ease of use and simple use makes it very attractive for those who just want to jump ina game and relax. Console Gaming will be here for a long time in one form or another.

PC is where all the BLEEDING EDGE technology and gaming ideas are BORN. They find an apeal in niche markets, they give Indie Devs a name, they have cult followings, or whatever but the PC offers the freedom to just try something New, self publish, and on a low Budget with no pressure from a Publisher.

PC Gaming because of it's power and advantages also allows for games that just can't be done on anything else and gives Gamers the CHOICE to create their OWN Perfect Gaming Experience.

Mobile gaming has it's own specialized games to make use of the mobile tech but mostly it's great console gaming on the go or using brilliant ways to tap into PC gaming as a nice side piece. Laugh at mobile gaming if you want but Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja have millions of gamers and have made a TON of money.

like Bigpappy said THEY ALL will thrive and do well because the gaming Industry is a $40 Billion Dollar MONSTER with room for ALL to make a few bucks.

TopDudeMan3862d ago

Yeah, years ago they were saying mobile and tablet devices would replace consoles but it's never gonna happen.

I think his comment about keyboard and mouse is ridiculously childish. Literally all he does is insult the PC demographic and uses that as a point against keyboard and mouse- which is garbage logic.

I mean, if I can play a PC game with my controller I will simply due to comfort, but some games are just so much better with a keyboard. I'm talking about first person shooters, Action RPGs, Strategy games, MMOs- you're gonna want a keyboard and mouse for those games. I prefer using controllers for third person action games and platformers and such where you don't need the level of precision a keyboard and mouse gives you- you instead need simpler controls.

porkChop3862d ago

I understand what you're saying, but in all fairness to Michael Pachter, he just answers common questions from the GT community.

just-joe3862d ago

You're common sense regarding people having different interest is enlightening. I propose you make your own show called Pap-Attack.

Seriously, though well said.

Here is an out there idea. Give away all of the guitar hero back catalog for free (maybe minus the music) and then let people do a pay as you go on tracks. Nah, actually nobody will buy them. It has been long enough though that I quite fancy a bit of GH.

dumahim3862d ago

I love how he says his guitar broke and gave stuff away to neighbor kids but right before he took the question, you can see on leaning against the wall behind him to the left. But once he takes the question, the camera is moved over to the right slightly to take the guitar out of the shot.

Evil_Abed3862d ago

Why is the media so obsessed wit pitting gamers against each other? And why do gamers fall for it so many times??

KwietStorm_BLM3862d ago

I don't know, man. I really don't know.

thehitman3862d ago

Because people are insecure and feel they have to justify everything they do and buy.

s45gr323862d ago

That is the problem with consoles becoming too much like PC in the wrong areas like patching updating and installing the game onto a hard drive. Instead of implementing mods, map editors. All in all I see consoles and handhelds becoming one system.

VoodooRob3862d ago

Pach is awesome. I luv how he just calls out these basement PC dorks with there keyboard and mouse..lol

Percentage time

SP Ghost 2: 50% chance. Maybe, depends on if the game is a 2025 game then yes, if it's a 2026 game then no. Unless they show something really early.

Asobo Astro bot: 100% guaranteed it's been rumored heavily. Release date this year.

Bend Studios New ip: 80% most likely. Its been 5 years they're gonna show a trailer in engine with a 2025 release date

Blue Point New ip: 60% possible. It's been almost 4 years. They could be another year off from showing something. I wouldn't be too surprised if they didn't show up quite yet.

FireSprite VR: 80% most likely new games being announced.

Fire Walk's Concord: 100% guaranteed. 2024 release in depth gameplay and all.

GG: 90% highly likely. Horizon Zero Dawn remake. Plus Horizon LS game also announced (my prediction)

Haven Studios Fairgame$: 90% highly likely gameplay trailer with a release date of possible early 2025.

Housemarque New ip: 40% chance hardly likely. I think they're still some ways away Returnal released in 2021 3 years is too short to show something.

Insomniac Wolverine: 40% chance hardly likely. They could easily do a mock up gameplay from what we've seen from leak but they're not gonna be pressured to so. The game is leaked to release in 2026. They might hold off until next year.

Media Molecule: 90% highly likely. Said to be a new IP will be shown and announced this year.

Naughty Dog New IP 40% hardly likely. Druckmann has been teasing and teasing for a year now I dont think he's ready to show off the game or announce what it is. It's still a little ways off.

Santa Monica New ip: 70% chance likely. Think Cory Barlog will tease something officially for a late 2025 release. Don't be gameplay but a tease and a name at the end of Sony's showcase as the one more thing.

Goodguy011h ago

Really want to see what SP has cooking as I am running through ghost on PC atm. And it's about time the ff9 remake gets revealed.

Playing this at a locked 175 fps on an OLED ultra wide at max settings is truly awe inspiring. A great way to replay this classic.

Psychonaut852h ago

Sweet! Glad to see it make the jump. Hopefully the PSN requirement doesn’t put too many people off. I think it’s only if you plan to play the Legends mode. It’s bullshit, but at least you can access the main game without making a PSN profile if that bothers you. I know on PC everyone’s sick of everyone trying to push their own launchers and shit.

Deeeeznuuuts2h ago

It's really not that big of a deal, PC players just love to complain, my friend has quite a few launches and never once complained, really no issues at all 😂😂😂 28514;

Goodguy011h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Indeed. It's for the trophies and online. I just hope Sony doesn't require ps plus subscription at some point for their online games. PC gamers have dealt with 3rd party launchers forever, just a bunch of silly complaints, nothing different.

anast1h ago

So we are lovin' PSN now? How fickle the herd is.

Aloymetal1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Some people love to complain but if it wasn't for Sony themselves they wouldn't be playing these amazing 1st party games on their PeeZees.

HankHill1h ago

Cry more while your precious plastic box keeps losing exclusives.

anast25m ago(Edited 20m ago)

As long as your not serious, welcome to the party.

This is fun. My turn.

Yeah, all 10 people that can actually afford a decent PC isn't much. This is why they are drip feeding PC gamers because they'll eat up 10 year old games like they're new, and that's all 10 of them. Consoles gamers already wore that shoe, you all are getting leftovers.

Your turn
