You want rock solid games, yet here you are trying to downplay a beta test for a game that isn't due for at least 7-8 months... I am speechless at the shear amount of idiocy you managed to type down.
Do I need to type this out in all caps for your tiny brain to process this? THIS IS NOT THE FINAL RELEASE, THIS IS MEANT TO BE A TEST.
This is the problem publishers created with their "get...

You are thinking what Sony wants you to think. Sony only has a marketing agreement with YsNet and are porting the finished game to the PS4, they have no creative input or stake in the actual development of the game. They do not own the IP. If you want an example, look at Call of Duty. Microsoft is no longer allowed to advertise the game, only Sony does with a big fat PS4 logo next to it. But because of the fact that it was announced on a Sony stage, it is lumped in wi...
This is exactly what Nintendos problem is. As you said the ball started rolling downhill with the N64. Everybody and their mother moved to CD-Rom, except for Nintendo. Sub 100 MB games are a joke even in the mid 90's. The GameCube had the exact same problem. It offered a puny 1,5 GB mini-CD format. There were games larger than that on the PS1... and the GameCube is 14-15 times more powerful, this is not an exaggeration, 33,7 Mhz vs. 485 Mhz. PS2's DVD drive could read 8,5 GB dual-laye...
Wii U is all but dead at this point and way too weak to allow for a quick port, it would have to be a different version especially for the Wii U, out of budget for them. Games that are considered niche in the west almost never did good on Xbox hardware.
It would be a tiny uptick for a promise they have to deliver on and would most likely cost way more than they would gain.
@Imalwaysright
The PC this video was made on costs more than a PS4 and 50-60 games at full $60 price. Did you see that he has 4 GTX 980's in there? This is a ridiculous waste of money as these cards will be outdated way before the console generation is over, and still won't be needed for 90% of games because developers look to console first.
Bottom line, this is out of the price range for 99.99% of people on the planet, so don't go around bragging...
@ChickeyCantor
Just because his critics didn't preface the critique with a paragraph of praise and devotion, doesn't mean they had no respect for him.
And that's not being objective, that's caring more about sticking it to the haters than the fact that a man lost his life to a horrific disease.
Nobody did a 180 here, it's just that his death is more important than his job performance.
Yeah, because wanting somebody to step down and wanting them dead is the same thing. Are you kidding me?
TR and SF5 are completely different. SF5 would not happen without Sony and Capcom said as much, Sony funded it because Capcom was not going to.
Tomb Raider was confirmed for PS4, then later retracted and made timed exclusive for Xbox One.
Sony paid for a game to be made, Microsoft paid to keep a game off of a competitors product which was going to be made regardless, for all platforms.
"Expanding the userbase"
Wrong. It's splitting the userbase. I doubt this will be compatible with the main game and if it is, it is yet another version the tiny Mojang team has to maintain.
And the fact that Minecraft is programmed with Java, meaning it runs on everything Java runs on, meaning every Desktop OS on the planet and more, makes this version nothing more than Microsoft trying to make a new version of Minecraft that only runs on their ...
Guys, did you get the point of the analogy or not? What's the point of trying to be a smartass about an analogy? The sole purpose of an analogy is to provide a similar situation that makes the subject you are trying to explain easier to understand.

Mobile was an example that you don't build an app on the platform it is intended for, it has nothing to do with architecture. Anyone trying to develop an app on the phone would be carried howl...
I had the exact same reaction when I first played it. I was so hyped for Dark Souls 2 that I started playing Dark Souls 1 again just before it released. I have Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1 Platinum on the PS3 so I know my way around the combat system.
Immediately after I started playing Dark Souls 2 I felt like a fish out of water. The combat was off, the dodging was off, hell even the movement didn't quite feel right. Died my way through to the first boss, couldn&#...
Making something USING a PC is vastly different than making something FOR a PC. Do you think people made millions of mobile apps on their phones? No, they are written on the PC and compiled/cross-compiled on the PC using a special compiler or emulator or on the target device itself. The code being written does not automatically run on PC just because it was written on it.
Kind of like a boat is not being constructed on water, but can't function outside of it.
Don't let them take it from you!
There is a small portion of the gaming community, who have experienced the story of Shenmue and Shenmue 2. But a part of it was still missing, the story was incomplete for almost 15 years. No glimmer of hope as SEGA remained silent on this issue. The occasional rumour popped up during that time, only to remind every member of this community, of the harsh reality that this story may very well be left untold forever.
Last week, the wait for news has ended, it was finally announ...

Ok enough with the ignorant circlejerk.

Read this and eat this uninformed drivel you wrote yourself.
Sony is giving them all the help they are willing to accept.
@ilikepizza
Think for 5 tiny minutes about how stupid this argument is. Yeah Sony shouldn't have delayed the games, they should've released them then and there because you know, they said they would. Nevermind that the games are freaking broken, a promise is a promise. I can live with a broken game but heaven forbid they delay them, back to downloading patch 23423523 for Battlefield 4, cya!
Early access is incredibly useful for developers and publishers. Since most of the people paying are into the game and aren't just trying it out for the hell of it, the quality of bug reports goes way up, because these people have an interest in seeing the game improve.
Then there are the tryout people, they will get locked in to the game by purchasing it, making their return down the road way more likely. They spent the money, most people will try and get something out o...
I'm worried that all the exposure for the game, which at face value is a very positive thing, will ultimately seal it's demise. The expectations for this are so monstrous, I doubt such a small indie studio can deliver on them. From what I gathered from various comments on different sites, people want this to be an Eve Online/Star Citizen/Minecraft/Avatar/Juras sic Park hybrid and I really doubt it will come close.
It also doesn't look like an indie game. It has ve...

Here's a patent from Sony for the exact same thing in 2005:

2 generations of consoles, 2 DRM patents before these consoles launched, 2 consoles without this DRM. Hmm, it's almost as if they filed the patent to prevent other manufacturers from implementing DRM and crippling ...
