Re: Sony Is Predicting Improved PS5 Stock Availability

Gbarsotini

Important news. The jump from 11 to 18 million is impressive, I think they will sell PS5 with a little less profit, maybe paying more for the chip suplier, but whatever the reason, the most important thing for Sony strategy, as I said in another post, is to put those machines out.

Re: 19.3 Million PS5 Consoles Have Been Shipped So Far

This is important news: "aiming to ship another 18 million units in FY 2022"

Maybe they reach an agreement with the chip manufacturer? Will pay above the market price so they can improve manufacturing? I dont know, but for Sony´s strategy, they really need to put those machines out.

Re: 'Multiple Sources' Said Sony Is Buying Square Enix, Allegedly

Gbarsotini

@OrtadragoonX I agree with you about the new trilogy, The only difference its that its a lot more "open world" than Uncharted, with a little metroidvania included. What I really liked about Tomb Raider was that feeling of the PS1 era, that sense of discovery, just you and gigantic temples, tombs and caves. I just dont agree when you said that the new TB is super dark, I always tought of the games to be super dark in my opinion, more serious than Uncharted.

But if somehow someone manage to bring back those PS1 era TR feelings, sense of discovery, puzzle solving type of games, for me it will always be better than the blockbuster nature of Uncharted. But its just my opinion and personal taste.

But Uncharted is also fantastic, dont get me wrong, I was blown away with Uncharted 2, beeing 4 my favorite (really a fan of pirates). For me this a franchise that should have 8, 9 games, its fantastic, but unfortunaly I think Naughy Dog isnt interested.

@Fenbops Yeah, I dont like it either, but I think Microsoft forced Sony to make some defensive moves with this recently megaton purchases for Xbox, even the stocks fell in that period.

I agree they are a californian tech firm now, we can only hope that they realize they need Japan again and let them do their thing. Especially without censorship.

@OrtadragoonX I think its Uncharted that it is Tomb Raider with a dude.. haha.. I actually prefer Tomb Raider over Uncharted, despite been a massive fan of Nathan Drake. Plus, Lara Croft was one of the images of Playstation for a long time. But seriously, I just dont think Naughty Dog is interested in making more of this games.

Re: Video: Please, Sony - We Need These PSVR2 Games

Gbarsotini

Realistically, I think Resident Evil VIII, Half Life and GT7 (just like the article).

I also hope, personally, for some game in space or below water, I dont care if its a "game game", or a walking simulator. Just give me my immersion.

I also dream for Silent Hills VR. OR a remake of the first one, first person and VR compatible.

Bonus game: Drunken Bar Fight 2 (yes).

Re: Sony Dumps Funds into Live Service Software Firm

Gbarsotini

@suikoden Im more than 100 hours into AC Valhalla, and nowhere near to finish..

I too hate this path Sony is going.. its not because of the 20 million spent here.. its this, plus Bungie for 3 billion (for live service games), plus letting Eidos and CD pass for 300 million, plus the westernization of the company, plus the censorship..

But I still love you Playstation!

Re: Sony Buying Square Enix Was the Big Acquisition Rumour, Apparently

Gbarsotini

@AdamNovice I can see that.. of course it makes sense.. but still, a franchise with core players in your system, a system know for awesome SP experiences, with legacy, with a brand almost as recognazible as Mario or Sonic (my father knows Lara Croft), that has sell 88 million games in it´s entire existence, and before launching a PS plus with some features similar to Netflix or Gamepass (acess to a library of games).. for 300 million, I think it was a steal for Embracer..
I know I´m using only my preferences for my "little rant".. haha.. but I love Tomb Raider, forgive me..

On the other hand, I know nothing of the situation of the companies, plus more than 300 employees, it was strugling in the past few years.. maybe it was a good decision, maybe not.. I just hope in the future Microsoft doesnt buy from Embracer, or buy Embracer.. because in the end, as long as this games continues to play in our system, doenst matter..

Re: Sony Buying Square Enix Was the Big Acquisition Rumour, Apparently

I´m in no way a corporate big suit person, to have the ability to make this big decisions, so it´s only my opinion in here, based on my personal preferences, but Eidos and CD, for less than 1/10 of the value of Bungie, would have had a bigger impact on gamers. I still remember the backlash Square received after the 100 million dollars for 1 year exclusivity for Rise of The Tomb Raider on Xbox, it was crazy.

Re: Sony Buying Square Enix Was the Big Acquisition Rumour, Apparently

If this confirmed to be true, Sony should have telling them to keep the Tomb Raider IP, its an incredible brand and a legacy one for Playstation, would be an excelent adittion to the Sony movies and the new PS Plus. Imagine that banner with all the studios that Sony always do, but with Lara in one of them. Really strange if Sony buys Square.

Re: Hideo Kojima's New Project Getting Lots of Sony Love

Gbarsotini

Good, I love that are still people willing to do things differently in games, and also that there are companies like Sony willing to fund this kind of projects. I mean, Death Stranding is a pretty bizarre game (in the good sense, for my liking), and not a cheap one to make. Well deserve Kojima, congrats.
