The PlayStation 4 is firing on all cylinders, and its sales over the last quarter have been nothing short of stunning. It makes sense, too, given just how wonderful a quarter the system has had with so many high profile new releases.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
We explore the Sega classics that are ripe for revival! From Panzer Dragoon Saga to Virtua Fighter, discover why these legendary games deserve a comeback on next-gen consoles. Dive into a nostalgic journey and see which Sega titles are set to captivate a new generation of gamers in 2024.
Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
It might outsell the PS2. There is still 6 years left in the 10 lifespan that the PS2 had and the average seems to be 15mil a year. If after 4 it is sitting at 60mil... there is still time to make 150mil. Especially if they drop the price of the slim to that sweet spot of $199.99.
To Outsell Ps2 it needs the magic 149$ price point.
Heck last time I saw a Ps2 on sale it was at 99€.
Captain Obvious saying obvious things again.
PS4 will sell a lot, don't know if it'll beat PS2 though. It'll sell at least 125 million units
Patcher you fool don't underestimate Sony and support it got.
Beating PS2 isn't as important as the fact that Sony controls more than 50% of the console market share. As long as they can maintain that PS4 will have been a complete success in any reasonable persons eyes.
