Atari makes additional announcements from the 2019 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) about its all-new Atari VCS (Video Computer System) home gaming and entertainment platform.
The NVIDIA RTX Remix tool is redefining the gaming industry and the modding community in the best way possible.
"NVIDIA's Generative AI-Powered Modding Tool Is A Gamechanger For The Industry"
True, the especially for all the industry that gets put out of work by it.
Have you ever used a self service checkout in a store? Should we ditch alarm clocks so that we can hire people to shoot peas at our bedroom windows to wake us up like they did in the 1800s?
Working at a grocery store as a checkout clerk used to be a respectable job that could support a family.
I try to avoid them at all costs, why should we do a cashiers/clerks job without any training and without being paid for it? Comparing people losing their jobs to A.I. to people from the 1800's shooting peas is hilarious, good try though.
Is PlayStation making a mistake by skipping Gamescom and other huge events? We weigh in
"Nope"
That´s why you getting none. Keep on giving Sony a pass while real Playstation fans are giving them a hard time demanding better.
PlayStation is the number 1 selling console. Sony’s marketing strategy is working. Also consider that Microsoft is now a 3rd party publisher. They will go where the other 3rd party publishers go. I’m sure you’ll eventually see Halo in a PlayStation State of Play.
Yeah, why should sony waist money on the fans who keep propping them up no matter what?
Can you imagine if MS was software only, why would sony ever do shows?
@Obscure_Observer
Out of all humans I know, you are the least qualified one to tell people to stop giving a company they support a pass.
Lol, as if you guys didn't give MS an unlimited pass for a very, very long time already.
Did you have that same energy for Xbox when the droughted you guys for a decade plus? I doubt it
You are right though. Sony has got to give us some sort of gameplan, something, cause Concord, marathon, fairgames, ain't gonna cut it.
@Obscure
You must have amnesia. Do you only remember the MS show and then assume that Sony must immediately respond? Why? Because MS showed a bunch of multiplatform games? Now, Sony must show too? Makes no sense.
Unlike MS, Sony has been releasing exclusive games all along. MS hasnt even released anything yet.
I'm sorry, you expect us to demand better what exactly? Ads? Because you realize that's what these little presentations really are, right? They are a marketing tool, they don't determine what games we get or not, they are only one way of showing 'em off... Marketing is not the product, is what you gotta do to sell the product and, on that front, do you really think Sony is the one in need of your hot take there? Do you see any other console doing better?
Also, considering gaming companies already spend as much in marketing as they do actual development as it is, not making a bigger thing of these events than they absolutely need to be sounds like good business to me. The industry is suffering job cuts left and right, development costs are through the roof and you expect these companies to spend even more on marketing which produces literally nothing tangible for us costumers in the end? Talk about being tone deaf.
What is worse is showing games that have no release dates. How many games coming out this and next year were announced 3 years or more ago?
If I had 1 console it would be playstation , the track record is unbroken and unsurpassed.
No because they can have their own shows. In fact, all platform holders abandoned “big shows” until recently that MS has decided to go back. Sony don’t have to follow.
But, I am expecting, and want Sony to show its hand sooner rather than later with a major showing.
"In fact, all platform holders abandoned “big shows” until recently that MS has decided to go back"
No, they didn't. Sony and Nintendo, yes. Microsoft has consistently held big shows every year. Microsoft started hosting smaller Developer_Direct's but they didn't stop having big shows. They would sometimes skip a trade show here or there if they didn't have anything to show at that point, but they didn't just stop all big shows entirely.
@porkchop
By “big show” you mean 3rd party conferences like E3, Gamescon, etc.
And yes they all abandoned them for the most part. MS was doing their own as well. Also, whether MS was present at “big shows”, they didn’t really make a splash or a big showing for the longest. All platforms sort of abandoned these expensive venues and went in-house for their conferences. Now, MS has decided to change that it seems.
N4G and the Sony fanboys out in full force today. There isn't a single decent argument down in these comments, just fanboy drivel.
Hmm well for all the talk in these forums, Sony sure does seem like they know what they’re doing
‘Is PlayStation Skipping Big Shows A Mistake?’
As hardcore gamers we miss the big shows, but it hasn’t stopped the PS5 sales success. Hosting shows is not a guarantee of success just ask Microsoft.
Unless you just sit on here or Twitter playing sales or worried about sales instead of playin games then have fun.
I never expected Sony to show up as they stop going 5 years now but there's a few ways of looking at it.
1 it is frustrating to see Sony not get ppl hyped and excited for its console with a road map. Makes sense.
2 when MS wouldn't show up to Gamescom or TGS sucked at E3 is because they simply didn't have studios to show at any event through out the year. It's not a studio problem for Sony clearly, Hiroki has been transparent and said he's internally delayed their big games to ensure quality. It's as simple as that. Naturally that means we have to wait.
I'm gonna say the same thing I said with Xbox back then, 3rd party rules, nobody will be bored this holiday to next year because most will be playin 3rd party anyway, unless all you do is sweat about exclusives and that's all you play, yeah you're gonna get bored.
Point is, my second summary outweighs my first thought. They're cooking you simply have to wait come SGF next year, I think we'll be blown away.
As hardcore gamers, the mass majority of us saw these shows via streams or a show.
It is a marketing money dump.
That is it.
Do you need to hear an audience react to what you are seeing?
Besides costing Sony a lot of money, the amount leaks attributed to these shows were out of control and ruining all the money dumped into these shows.
Microsoft has been in shows for how long?
Making zero new AAA games.
Lying with scripted demos.
Lying with pc buffed versions of their console games.
Lying about games coming.
Etc etc etc
And yet are still in gaming.
Shows have zero effects.
Positively or negatively to the hardcore gamers.
I mean if they have nothing to show then they have nothing to show. I wish they did have something to show but if they don't why would they attend a Big show? 🤷♂️
No point in showing stuff that's 12+ months out. Wait until it's closer to release.
They didn't even have anything to show for State of Play and Gamescom is a BIG event.
Not saying it isn't frustrating in fact I've been a forerunner on this site complaining that they're taking forever and questioning why that is. But the fact still stands if they don't then they don't. I mean I highly doubt they're just sitting on completely finished games and trailers to show and just choosing not to show it. If they haven't shown it, It's obviously because it's not in a finished enough state to show.
I miss Sony presence at big shows, but they've been doing this for years and been doing fine without them.
Angelus Victor said: Publisher Spike Chunsoft, Inc. has just announced that from June 19 to July 3, 2024, they will be holding a Mid-Year Deals Sale on the PlayStation Store. Some of their hit games can be obtained with huge discounts, so we’ve lined up five games you should definitely get in this limited-time sale.
This thing is still alive?
the only way I would have gotten one is if it really was an "Atari" box. Meaning it spanned the full compliment of games from Atari home (2600 through Jaguar) and arcade divisions.
As a micro-pc, I can say it's pretty decent for the base price ($249). But as a console, I don't see why anyone would want one.
I want one just slightly more than a Scarlett so not much at all.
