Re: Sony Stock Value Loses $20 Billion, But Will Likely Recover

Gilvin

this will become an interesting situation... everyone is thinking about the market power of XBox/MS which is clearly there, and is clear that Sony will take a hit if Call of Duty is out of their environment.
On the other hand, Activision games if they become XBox only will likely earn less money, which then makes Activision a less valuable asset, plus if they become GamePass games as they most surely will, we can consider that the earnings of your yearly CoD game will be much much less than it is now, making it a depretiated asset.
MS game is to starve Sony to death while dealing with huge losses, but if PlayStation survives as a brand for long enough, XBox could be the one finding itself in trouble

I think the buyout of Bethesda killed this game...
If you are a Playstation + PC/XBox gamer you'll wait for it to come to GamePass
If you are an Playstation only gamer (as it is my case) it'll fall in one of these 3 options

  • You are pissed with Bethesda and it'll be giving money to Microsoft, so no, you will not buy it.
  • You are excited about a possible last tittle in Sony's console coming from Arkane studio and you buy it (but maybe not at full price)
    or as it is my case
  • You don't have the time and/or money to invenst in a new IP whose sequels (if it happens to be good) will not come to your console of choice.

So... sales will not even justify the money Sony expended on getting the timed exclusivity. The one move they can make to save the game is launch it on PSPlus or PSNow

@get2sammyb I think tha'ts it! No more AC as we know it.
To me it sounds (or I hope it sounds) like they are creating the Animus, which makes sense... if is some kind of hub in which you can go and choose solo experiences or multiplayer (co-op or competitive) and jump around assasins and time lines, it could be awesome!

Re: Blue Box Game Studios Apologises for Misjudged Silent Hill Message

Gilvin

@get2sammyb I'll double the bet, their apology doesn't say they are NOT working on Silent Hill... this is what I choose to read:
"... We have no relations with Konami" = We work with Sony
"Silent Hill is owned by Konami" = But Sony got use of the license
"We do not have any relations with Hideo Kojima" = turns the big chair around and faces the camera while saying "I AM Hideo Kojima!"
Mark my words

@rjejr the reliever rule is in there too
about the blackouts is the dumbest thing, I've been subscribing to mlbtv for the last 10 years, except the year I lived in the US which says a lot.
Sorry, haven't watched Brockmire, is on my to-do list, but there are sitll ps3 games on that list so... who knows if I ever will, not enough time on the day for gaming, tv and still be able to do my job... and with no job, then no tv or gaming... paradox of life

Re: MLB The Show 21 (PS5) - A Lead-Off Double But Not a Home Run

Gilvin

@rjejr @get2sammyb I don't think there's a game that has ever done double headers... maybe Bo Jackson's back in the NES era (or was it Super NES)
The man on second rule I actually like, specially in today's game of strikeouts, but baseball is a grandparents game in the sense that they refuse and fear change
The reliever rule I'm sure is in, I tried to change one after a batter and didn't offer the option and in Franchise mode you can choose the universal DH
I actually like the menus... so 8/10 for me lol

@Hypnotoad107 also felt it was slow, imagined is because I was not being good enough... I've been waiting to be patched for hitting for at least 6 years... hopefully it'll be there soon...
Theoritcally: the ball lights on the color on the pitch and then you identify the pitch, move the left joystick towards the ball depending on the pitch break so you can barrel it aaaaaaaaand then swing on perfect timing depending to the pitch speed
They say hitting is the hardest thing in sports, I guess is also the hardest thing in gaming
