If you’re reading this, chances are you probably own a PS4 by now. You might have also owned a PS2, It’s almost expected at this point. Recently, Sony just posted their best Playstation 4 numbers since release. In fact, it was the best quarter in history which shipped 9.7 million units worldwide during Q3 2016 …
Sony has been reported to be considering adding adaptive difficulty to all of its games. This feature would likely allow gamers to play more difficult games that usually have a skilled player barrier and also make it so hardcore gamers can get a good experience out of typically easier games.
I don't see an issue. I'm also sure it'd be an option that you could turn off to.
I don't have a problem with it. A number of games do this already depending on your playstyle.
If you can turn it off? Sure. If it's forced, no it's a terrible idea. Imagine wanting a tougher experience but because you die a few times the game lowers the difficulty. That kind of defeats the purpose of the harder difficulty.
A new ad for the PS VR2 sees Sony asking fans if "busting" makes them "feel good," leading to a lot of jokes online.
According to Sony, changes to the launch dates of a "portion of first-party titles" impacted the company's profitability.
We got so many games coming out this year, why even complain? Many games are making their target release date. Sony got some VR games as well coming and a horror survival game this month for PS5
Chasing the live service genre is a huge gamble. If they get one hit that's on par with today's heavy hitters, then the investment will be worth it 100x. But history tells us that a huge % of these titles fail - even ones from established studios with AAA budgets.
Over the last two generations, Sony have excelled in making brilliant cinematic single player games. Those games helped them to be the number 1 publisher for both revenue and profits and by quite some distance. Hopefully the lack of releases recently isn't a sign of the business pivoting to a completely different model because frankly, that'll suck. The current model is both commercially and critically successfully so it doesn't need changing on a whim just to chase the GaaS big bucks! #prayforplaystation
Hopefully that means a packed 2024.
I'm mostly surprised that we still don't even know what their major studios are up to. Sucker Punch, Naughty Dog (single player), Bluepoint, Team Asobi, Media Molecule....
No Sh+t Louise, Delaying a game to the next quarter means that we won't have the profit of that game this quarter like we budget last year!
I'm Glad we have a complete article on the main page explaining these important things.
The only platforms that performed better than PS4 at this point in their lifecycles are DS and Wii.
What is amazing arent just the sales, but the amount of exclusives that sony is launching. New i.p. after new i.p, beside the heavy triple AAA Franchises that will come out.
The amount games that we are getting its amazing. Beside the multiplatform, if you buy just one exclusive each month, there arent months enough.... I think 2017 will be a golden year for Sony.
Playstation world domination. Xbox isn't a worthy competitior, just a pretender
I started out this gen a die hard Xbox fanboy; now I havent even turned on my Xb1 since Gears 4 came out. Sony is absolutely wrecking Xbox in every imaginable way.
Without Sony gaming wouldn't be the same. I mean just look at Nintendo & MS. Once can't release a good home console without gimmicks & tons of games, the other one has the home console, but won't make any exclusives for it. Both of these companies are richer than Sony, but the so called poor company is outdoing them easily.
People need to put some RESPECT on Sony's name.
