In a new interview with Jim Ryan, the global marketing and sales head of Sony, he talks about how a resurgent Nintendo is good for the industry and that is entirely correct.
Now, you need to understand that this is the same Jim Ryan who didn’t understand why people want to play classic PlayStation games. That aside, his comment on the success of the Switch is a noteworthy one.
Ghosts of Tabor creators Combat Waffle Studios have collaborated with GLYTCH on a new "Skill Issue" flavour. Plus PICO is now supported.
The Nintendo 64 era was a fantastic time for platformer games, featuring timeless classics and obscure hidden gems.
Sony has confirmed that there is something happening later this month and it involves SIE which is the division that operates PlayStation.
My guess, is they were waiting for the new CEO position to be finalized before their next showcase and now that's out of the way.
Almost optimistic to say, but those leaks of the 6 cancelled games (games that were not even announced)
yeh, maybe some didn't actually get cancelled after all
as a long time ps fans I hope they still put great single player games front and center, make your live service games if you have to but don’t force your 1st party studios to make something they don’t want to.. redfall is an unfortunate example of a good studio forced to basically destroy themselves.
Of course they are. It's about protecting the industry and moving everyone forward. Nintendo also has a lot of talent. We don't want to see developers fail to support one company. That's twisted and it has the opposite effect. Some want Sony and Nintendo to fail because of an altercation that goes back to Sega (which manifested as Xbox) but we want to see everyone succeed and grow the industry. It nothing else think of the workers.
Also, about classic PlayStation games, I'm playing Star Ocean: TRoT right now on PS4.
I always felt back when it was Sony v Nintendo things were more interesting...and a lot easier. People could argue over what company or console was better but people still ended up having both.
Wtf is this article taking about? I'd say the PS4 already has plenty of casual appeal
I love Nintendo, I grew up with Mario and Zelda. I can't imagine a gaming landscape with out Nintendo, certainly something special would have been lost.
If anything I think it's unfortunate that Nintendo had to break down and add things like paid online and DLC's even when it's obvious they tried to fight it to the bitter end. Nintendo is certainly not with out it's flaws, it's handling of online video content is terrible and they haven't handled fan games well either. But for the most part they are still "the good guys" when it comes to gaming in my eyes.
I hope the Switch does well and they can continue to entertain in the way only Nintendo can.
Agreed
