PSXextreme: See that dude in the picture? ..I'm probably younger, that's me every time I read another ridiculous, 'if Sony doesn't drop the price of the PS3, it's over' article. Really. I'm bored..
Therefore, in about two years time, with the most expensive console on the market, even in a freakin' recession, the PS3 has somehow managed to - shock of shocks - not die. In fact, it has only managed to close the gap, which it will likely continue to do.."
With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.
It was worrisome to begin with.
It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.
Nameer from eXputer: "Some exceptions aside, I don't think the battle pass is a net positive for gaming with how they're implemented in most live service titles."
I like the way Helldivers 2 does battle passes. It allows you to make purchases on each level of the battle pass and gives you the option of choosing which item to unlock first. The more purchases you make using medals the further you progress. There is no timer and you can earn medals towards purchasing stuff via personal orders and Major orders.
I haven't played much live service games that have battle passes but I remember some games that have battle passes where you progress through it linearly using an exp system. What makes it really bad is that the battle pass will have like 50 or more levels with the cooler stuff being closer to the end. They also have an in-game shop that sells exp boosters so you can reach the end of the pass before it refreshes. Everyone ilse will have to grind their way through.
battle pass in fortnite is perfect; buy one and it buys the rest for every other season as it gives you more money than the first cost. so 8.50 and season ends with you getting 13.00, it pays for the next and you have some pocket change to save up for cash shop. All of which is optional
Sony is taking actions as video by Moore’s Law is Dead, has been issued with a copyright claim.
And people say it's all fake because Sony haven't said anything 😂 conveniently forget the PS4 Pro was only announced 2 months before release.
Just announce it already! I want to preorder one asap. But in reality they don’t want to lessen PS5 sales until Pro is ready to launch so I understand the business part of it. September is probably when they announce it with an early November launch like the PS4 Pro
I would take that video and upload a torrent of it, fuck that copyright bullshit. If your going to do something that has a chance of being taken down, make a torrent first share it. Then Sony or any other company is helpless and you can laugh in their faces, taunting them to try to take it down 🤣
As much as the PS4 Pro didn't represent a major % in the playerbase, announcing a 'better' model will hinder sales from the 'base' model. They are right, business-wise.
I already own a PS3 so I don’t care about a Sony price cut. However I’m considering buying an Xbox360, but they are simply too expensive. I’m only interested in one game, Mass effect 2…. So pretty please MS drop the price of your Xbox. Your killing me here.
you want MS to drop the price of the 360 lol it's 199 with the hard drive....meanwhile the ps3 is 399
I own a PS3 so price cut wouldn't affect me. Still, I feel if there's no price cut, PS3's install base will hardly get even with Xbox360's. Lesser install base, lesser support from third party developers. That's the deal...so I would quite politely ask for a price cut that's getting too long in my opinion to arrive.
I believe if Sony wants the game to turn to their side again they need:
1.- Backwards compatibility and PS2 games in the PSN (rumors aim towards this happening soon, so it's OK)
2.- RELEVANT price cut ASAP
3.- SCENE for the PS3
closing the gap ahahahah i wouldn't call a 8 million gap closing.
Lol, so very true.
