Re: Don't Believe European Retailer MediaMarkt's Sky High PS5 Pre-Order Price

@Giygas_95 I'm the opposite. In the past, he used to be the voice of reason. Hell, I would even use his arguments when talking to friends. Now, I don't know what happened but ever since the Switch, something changed. He just talks out of his **s with no accountability. You may notice this when he talks about Stadia — it just reeks misinformation. For someone who calls himself "Review Tech", he awfully knows nothing about tech.

Imagine Marques Brownlee having a phone review channel but has no idea how a phone operates, can't explain why OEMs took said-decision during R&D and why this is the final design. He'd be a joke, that's how I see RTU today, as a joke. Sorry, for dragging you into this super unrelated topic lol

Re: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Won't Take Away from Sony to Achieve Success

Callmegil

Isn't that common sense? Both companies are out here trying to make money; they have families to feed — it seems a bit odd to wish for one company to fail, so the other can prevail.

You don't want one company to lead the market, that's how you end up with an irreversible monopoly (i.e. YouTube). Let them both win.

Re: Feature: Which Studios Could Sony Realistically Acquire?

Callmegil

Personally, I want them to acquire Shift Up.
: : S H I F T U P : : http://shiftup.co.kr/

  • Currently in development of Project EVE
  • Mobile developers of NIKKE: The Goddess of Victory
  • Mobile developers of Destiny Child (surely you seen this).

They clearly have a vision and acquiring this studio would definitely come with some caveats, i.e. not censoring games. Not a very popular Studio, so it wouldn't affect the gaming market.

Re: PS5 Is 'Hard to Get Excited About', Says Platinum Boss

Callmegil

Basically, the same thing I said about the Switch. The technology already existed, there's nothing original about the hardware. For a developers, new unique hardware is what thrives motivation. If they are just working with slightly PC parts, how's it different from just working on a PC?

Re: Rumour: Death Stranding Is a Timed PS4 Exclusive, Coming to PC

Callmegil

Baseless rumour on old and outdated information. Kojima mentioned his new game would be a timed exclusive, however this was stated BEFORE he had Decima Engine.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decima_(game_engine)

Decima Engine is a proprietary engine developed by Guerilla Games. Before Kojima, it had no name. Kojima Productions helped develop further the engine but it still proprietary to Sony Interactive Entertainment and currently has no compatibility to run executable files on Windows. Until Dawn is not on PC specifically because it was developed using Decima. Supermassive Games is using Unreal Engine 4 for Man of Medan because they wanted to make a multiplaform title. Decima is incapable of running on Windows.

You can have a look on the list of titles made using Decima and see that there's a consistency in development. By the way, in order for Decima to run on Windows, they'd need a compiler, which I don't they have given the nature of the engine.

Re: Sony's Digital Refund Policy Takes a Welcome Step Forward

Callmegil

I don't see how that's an improvement. In what instance would one purchase a game and not downloading/ play it after?

In the world where I purchase Skyrim and play it. I will only realize how garbage is by playing it. I think it would be better to keep that and add if you played/ downloaded the game, you have 48 hours to apply for a refund with a critical reason.

Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play Livestream?

Callmegil

It was meh. I understand their line of thought as a marketing person. They want to advertise titles that would have not gotten any attention otherwise. It kinda worked, I have ReadySet Heroes is the back of my mind for no reason now lol. They wouldn't advertise a major titles before the release of Days Gone. Not even Nintendo does that.

It could be better, sure, I won't disagree. But you have to understand with a platform like this, they can push lot more on different titles.

Re: Ex-PlayStation Executive: Google Stadia Starts Inevitable Shift Away from Consoles

Callmegil

I find it a classic solution, if you want to play those MEGA AAA titles, but the PS4 or Xbox is already being used. Most of them are not on the Switch—what to do? Wait is not an option.

Stadia might fix that issue. Yes, I know GeForce Now is more than a viable solution already, but in my case, I have to move it from my home theater setup. Chromecast Ultra is a better portable device.

Re: Animated Arcade Game Cuphead Skipping PS4

Callmegil

@BarFooToo They also called Double Fine Productions their friends. I'm sure it's just a respectful way to address to other companies. When Reggie released his retirement statement, Shawn Layden said "from your friends at Playstation". Yesterday when Google was talking about Stadia, they showed a Pac-Man inspired Style filter and followed along with the lines "This is from an old friend" [supposedly Namco or Atari].

Sounds like it's a formal way of speaking.

Re: Animated Arcade Game Cuphead Skipping PS4

Callmegil

I wonder if PlayStation has any plans to change their core values and become more willing to cooperate, other than just necessary.

It sounds to me game companies don't have rivalry now. Microsoft is changing their services to be fully multiplaform (as Phil said he want Xbox Live in both Switch AND PS4, I kid you not) and streaming.
Nintendo is focused in bringing classics exclusives whilst having a major appeal to the general market.
What is Playstation doing? They said more couch co-op and less AAA titles per year—that doesn't sound like a plan to me.

Google will be directly competing with Microsoft (again, MS doesn't catch a break lol), Steam is competing with Epic Games. Nintendo is chilling and I don't know what Playstation is doing.

Re: Dead or Alive 6 Can't Shed Hyper-Sexualisation Or Fans Will Leave

Callmegil

Is it not a "No-Brainer" that the lack of over-sexualized characters makes the game maturer? You have games like GTA where they exploit sex, an indication that said game is for a maturer audience.

Then you have sexual innuendo, where tits and ass are the highlight, but mainly to attract weak minded audience, people who still a child at heart (not trying to offend anyone, it's just true). This doesn't make a game mature, gore violence does, graphic sexual scene does, not the showcase of sideboob and skin.
