PS4 has stunned fans in recent years, but this year the platform is treading water.
State of Play is back tomorrow, September 24! Tune in live for news and updates on more than 20 upcoming PS5 and PS VR2 games from studios around the world.
Hopefully there's good games, but we'll see. Going in with low hype, and I hope to be pleasantly surprised.
Where does the time go?
Nintendo and Pokemon Company have filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair Inc., the creators of Palworld, in Tokyo, Japan.
A patent lawsuit? What Pokémon-related patent could Palworld even be infringing that other similar games haven't? This makes no sense. Feels like Nintendo just trying to throw its weight around to bully competitors, just like they do with emulators even though they're legal.
They can't Innovate their own IP, but when others are breaking the ceiling, they run to the courts, gtfo Nintendo/Gamefreak.
Companies' gatekeeping mechanics behind the patent system to stifle innovation, consumers will always pick the better product, it's not the consumer's fault that Gamefreak has sat on their lazy assess for years.
The Palworld has been out since January of 2024 and now Nintendo finally decides to do something. I fail to see how Palworld is like Pokemon besides evolving monsters. There are other games out there as well where you can capture and level up monsters. Tales of Symphonia 2 does that capture monsters and have them fight with you and they evolve when levelling up. The two games might share some similarities but what game doesn't borrow from another game. I could understand if Palworld was just a straight on copy clone of Pokemon but it's not. Nintendo is starting to become a pain in the ass. Going full gung ho with rom sites that I can see, purposely taking down pictures from a strategy guide for Mario 64 the strategy guide never came to North America and Nintendo had the pictures taken down. Where does it every stop with Nintendo?
This feels like a scare tactic more than anything else. There's nothing here dozens of other games haven't already done, they're just mad this game showed people how much the pokemon series has been slackin and are desperately trying to make an example out of them.
How's about instead of spending all that money on court fees and lawyers you invest it into making pokémon better?
Well, it's not always perfect in the end. But still, you live and learn your mistakes. Hopefully, you can improve it for better future.
Monster Hunter on consoles is the best announcement they could have possibly made. Nearly nothing else could have made me this excited. Spiderman looked terrible though.
I dunno why people expected more, they showed so far:
2 story DLC of huge games (Horizon & Uncharted 4)
Some love for VR. ( Good thing but can be better )
Beyond
Days gone
Shadow of colossus
Gt sport (release date)
God of war (release date)
Spider man (release date)
Ni no kuni (release date)
All of these are huge games. The only thing can be expected was sucker punch which doesn't make sense why they are so silent but that also gives a good hint of the next e3 where we will see the last of us 2 and sucker punch . Sony didn't have to shock us because we needed to see more of these which are more than enough compared to other systems.
The conference was too damn short. Thirty more minutes could have made a huge difference.
Agreed. I actually ended up thinking the one x was my peak. I expected something unexpected from Sony what I got was some great titles that will trickle out over the next few years but all shown together so it seems impressive from the start. You can hate on MS conference, but to me it was more exciting due to the hardware aspect and how that hardware will affect all games available and games patched. Not saying sony's show was bad (it wasn't at all) it just wasn't exciting - at least for me.
