@Anti-Matter Great creativity and good to see some drawings, but crikey, and I don't say this often, we are a tough crowd for this kind of stuff.

A good option would be to buy Dreams and you can turn some of these into characters or puppets to be used in a game.

@themcnoisy That’s actually a brilliant idea.
@Anti-Matter turn those creative ideas into something on Dreams. I would think it’s a great venue for it, as you’ve clearly invested time and thought into your characters and story. Not only that, then you could search through the existing content and find similar games.

@Th3solution @themcnoisy
Thanks. 😀
I'm not sure if i will like Dreams PS4.
I will check the video from Yotube.

Welcome to reality that not every adult male think the same way.
I am a different kind of adult male here. 😉
I like to draw something cute as i work as drawing teacher in Primary school, so Chibi characters will be my drawing style.
Don't be surprised if i suddenly post my drawing samples here.
Just want to share a little bit of my drawing creations.
I have my gallery collections on Deviantart and a lot of interesting stuffs on my Instagram account.

@Arugula I think some have latched onto the apparent poor working conditions at ND and will not give them or Sony a break, using it as an excuse to throw insults and accusations at them.

Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

@JohnnyShoulder
I can understand the sentiment, employees should be treated well, they're human beings.
But I do find it odd that this particular studio is getting such a hard time when there are clearly far worse ones out there that are just as well known. Makes you wonder if there's more to the backlash than what's being said and some have an agenda for stirring things up.

@LieutenantFatman Agreed. I hate the exploitation of devs and hope they can unionise up and get better working rights. However, this is a cultural problem endemic of nearly every major AAA studio (not to mention the self sacrifice of indie devs) and to think it ok to spoil, insult and abuse just one studio (mainly because they don’t like the perceived politics of the game or public facing ND workers) seems bizarre.

Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot

@jdv95 And so with that, we can surmise that next gen game prices will likely be the same - $60. Which is good news, as I expected a price hike for PS5 games.

@Th3solution
I don't know, I think that's a bit of a leap in logic tbh. I think this is more about convincing people against waiting for next gen versions of cross gen games.

Publishers will be concerned about potential sales drops as some hold out for the superior version of these games.
I bet with games like Assassin's Creed they'll look to make up the difference with all sorts of dlc and in game purchases anyway.

I seem to remember when PS4 & Xb1 arrived some publishers were making noises about being reluctant to develop games this generation as games would be more expensive to make and they weren't sure how popular these consoles would be. I wonder if we will see a repeat of that behaviour.

@Th3solution @LieutenantFatman I'm not sure but I don't think games will get too much more expensive, would be a struggle to get people to buy. the base price for a game hasn't raised by much since the GameCube and PS2 era. I know it's been about a tenner price hike since then. Companies tend to make back more costs with limited and special editions that give you a few extra items, also from DLC, cosmetics, microtransactions etc. It sucks that stuff is locked behind a paywall but I guess they undercharge for their games initially to get people to buy and make the profit off the "whales" like a mobile game does

LieutenantFatman

@ralphdibny
It does seem to be the way the market is headed. And with the global economy taking quite a hit, I think it's going to be a hard one to judge. You do tend to find prices go up a little at the start of each generation.

so anyone planning to watch the entire xbox reveal show or just gonna skip to the game they want to see later?

the only reason i'm gonna watch is for AC valhalla and even than i could just wait untill someone else puts the AC part by itself on youtube.

JohnnyShoulder

@Arugula Yeah i was thinking the same, although I did complete and enjoy the first game. All the people slagging off ND has made me want to buy the game and show my support.

yeah the negativity seems rather hyperbole.

now i don't know the extend of the leaks but it seems to be all PC politics based that some just can't handle,despite living in a modern western world.

besides most people claiming they won't buy a game anymore always end up buying it anyway.
so what's the point of their negativity in the end?

It seems like PushSquare traffic has skyrocketed. Since the Sony forums shut down and then COVID19 in top of that, it has grown tons this past few months. The polls now have over a thousand votes within the first few hours, where it seems like they used to have like 250-300 votes after a couple days.
I’m happy for the site, but it also brings in a few trolls and various riff-raff who like to stir trouble.

@Th3solution Ah, that explains the whole Last of Us 2 situation then. I hope PS doesn’t end up going the same way NLife has, the success of the Switch made that site go from pretty docile to a bit of a warzone. Although I’m sure I won’t be likely to cause quite as much trouble on this site

Th3solution

@nessisonett Haha, that’s funny because you’ve never caused any trouble. And your comments and opinions are always respectful and insightful.

But we shall see. So far the forums are fairly tame with the regulars ...just the outpouring of added people with broken PS3s and PS4s. The comments sections are where it gets dicey with the Naughty Dog and the PS Plus articles and such. Nevertheless, I do like seeing a lot of people’s input and opinions, and the polls are definitely more representative when you have 4-5x the input.
