Re: Memory Crisis Threatening to Delay PS6 Could Last 'Another 10 Years'

This might be such a stupid question, but if we take this at face value, and the market is going to be choked for an entire decade, wouldn't this be a kind of gold rush for new companies to enter the market?

Like even in it took a few years to build a fab, they would have 100% predetermined sell-through rate already.

Re: Here's Your Chance to Tell Sony What You Think of Horizon Hunters Gathering

BrockSmith

Me: I hate the art style and I abhor the character designs. It feels contrived now to do cell-shaded/cartoon art style after Fortnite has done it for a decade. This entire project feels like a massive waste of money, and the only thing I can think of is how much time the studio lost making this when it could have been going towards a new Killzone, a new IP, or even a new single player Horizon. Because at the end of the day, people like me who have been with you all for 20 years and now have the money and means to spend thousands on new hardware and software were "sold" on Playstation allowing studios to create engaging, enriching, single-player stories that we remember like classic movies. We do not want endless "seasonal" online games. Go back to what made Playstation the number one console and stop chasing the phantom golden pot at the end of the battle-royal rainbow for your stock holders and board. You abandon your most loyal customers.

Re: Sony's Troubled Live Service Game Fairgames Just Can't Catch a Break

BrockSmith

Sony fumbled this entire generation of games. The opportunity cost of going all in on live service was such a needless sacrifice of the brand’s future. Imagine all the award winning games they missed out on creating.

If they want to take huge risks, bank on shotgun blasting new IP’s by funding indie studios, not trying to buy their way into correctly guessing what will be culturally popular in online games half a decade out.
