On Wednesday, Sony is expected to pull the wraps off of its next-generation PlayStation console, codenamed Orbis. Five years ago, a new console would have been a very big deal.
Sony has attempted to clarify its recent removal of social media posts related to the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake.
Happens all the time, and even games get de-listed for same reason (GTA, Tony Hawk etc)
all the time? What other trailers has this happened to? Videos get re-uploaded 100x over, there's no way everyone complies.
YouTube enforces strict copyright rules. Even PewDiePie, who owns the rights to "B*tch Lasagna," had his video taken down.
All depends what licensing rights were agreed upon. If it was timed then they'd have to pull it due to not having rights anymore. Having said that though, it is a little bit bizarre to have a timed agreement on music for a trailer 🤔
@brad
Bro, that's when you don't *have* the license to the music. I have never heard of a trailer being taken offline because of a music license expiring. Show me one example where a trailer disappeared specifically due to music licensing.
I mean if it was canceled they would say it right? What would be the reason to not say it at this point. And if they have as much control as it's claimed, why would they cancel it over just releasing it eventually?
Do rockstar still owe Sony a game with the LA Noire situation? Obviously it was supposed to be "Agent".
My guess is Sony will try and get a 1 year exclusive deal for GTA 6 maybe for the game they owe them unless that's been sorted ages ago.
As long as people has interest in console/throw their money at MS and Sony, I doubt consoles will become irrelevant.
Reasonable pricing will keep console gaming alive if not competitive.
The problem with PC nowadays is its rising cost due to the lower consumer demand brought about by smart phones and tablets to which many people gravitate to as their information consumption, socialization, communication, and casual gaming needs.
Now IF Sony PS4 can strike a good balance between affordable price, affordable games, video gaming power and social gaming connectivity then it will be in a very good position in the center of the gaming universe.
Only time will tell my son.......
With the excitement that builds whenever a new console releases...yes it will stay relevant. It's a gamers Christmas. It's going to take alot of change from internet providers about prices n such to change if they want to stream games. That's not happening soon and in fact it's getting worse with data caps.
