"Just offer streaming solutions, but design as if they were only going to be played on console and PC."

That's what he said, and that's what they've been doing.

Hmm. Audeze is a good brand but Sony already have a great audio/headphone business. Seems a bit odd to buy another one and place them specifically under PlayStation. Audeze isn't a gaming-focused brand either.

Yeah he's probably a really good fit for Gears.

"PS VR2 games, which require the headset, and games that are streamed through PlayStation Plus Premium’s cloud streaming, are not supported."

PS+ streaming isn't coming. They are literally calling it a "remote play dedicated device". It only supports remote play of locally installed games.

Yup. Mobile accounts for the lion's share of ABK's revenue.

Games like BG3 and Elden Ring that overdeliver used to be the standard. This isn't some crazy concept that's never been possible. These much larger studios have more funding, more manpower, and often just as much if not more time. There is no excuse. They want you to believe they can't do it because they want to keep underdelivering while charging full price, then sell you the rest of the game piecemeal.

Not really the same situation. Either way I don't think these stores should ever be taken offline.

Is this a joke? Who plays a sim racer with a controller? You should try a decent wheel if you want actual immersion.

They were just answering a question about whether Elden Ring had an impact on development. They explained that the games are very different but there are still a lot of similarities that couldn't be changed that late in development.

Bro. How tf would they market that?

"The games look the same but they run slightly better. That's *obviously* worth another $500-$600!"

Like come on. That's not enough to entice people. The pro consoles last gen had all the 4K marketing behind them and they still had really low adoption. Without some big buzzword there isn't anything to pull people in. The current consoles were already marketed with raytracing, 4K, 8K, HDR, 60fps, 12...

A Pro would be pointless. We needed mid gen upgrades last time because of 4K adoption. Basically no one is buying 8K TVs right now. The only real benefit would be slightly better raytracing performance. The games would still look the same. That's really not enough of an upgrade.

Why would anyone have to wait? They've already announced plenty of big games on the way.

Yeah I've seen footage of it. Activision cancelled it after they bought Sierra. I still think that's crazy. Scarface was successful enough that Sierra planned on making Scarface 2, 3, 4, etc. It's wild that Activision would just cancel it like that.

Good. They should panic. I'm tired of paying $101 CAD for unfinished trash.

WB didn't get a free pass. A lot of devs, gamers, and journos complained about it. Sony sort of did when they patented Kojima's strand concept. Some people complained but it was mostly quiet from what I remember.

That's a missed opportunity. Manhunt, Max Payne, BioShock, RDR, Midnight Club, etc, could be turned into some interesting series.

It's almost like people have been begging for a finished game, full of content, with no mtx. Like what we used to get. It helps that the game itself is also just miles ahead of what other RPG devs have been putting out. I'm glad Larian is finally getting the respect and success they so deserve.

"PlayStation allows for all of your updates, including system software updates to be done in the background so you can do other things and then install it when you're ready to go online or you're done for that session. Xbox makes you sit and wait or go do something else. PlayStation also lets you download on a REST MODE where Xbox won't let you do that at all. Xbox is running at full sprint."

What are you talking about? My X...

I do agree that shutting down the companion app is a terrible idea. However, the app is not "the only direct first-party option to import screenshots from console to PC". You can plug in a USB stick or an external hard drive as well and capture up to an hour, and as many screenshots as you want. There's no need to download anything or constantly delete your uploads to make space for new ones.
