Absolutely agree with him, and Microsoft is already making all the preparations for it.
These companies keep spending a lot of money on games that only a limited percentage of people are playing them because of the proprietary hardware and the reality is that universal systems are the future of gaming.
I admit I have been tempted in watching a whole playthrough of games that I think I might not be all that interested, especially when watching someone with high flashy skill at those games, but then I realize that watching it's just not the entire experience until I try it myself.
Well this is when PlayStation needs him the most as the company seems to be in a state of flux....but hey I can understand he wants to jump ship before it's too late. ๏ปฟ ๏ปฟperhaps his decision to retire may not be even his own like Jim Ryan's.
I knew these kind of issues would happen as these developers are being pulled away from their current game developments and into developing patches for games they have already moved away from.
@Shepherd_Tallon : As I said there's has to be far more than what the developer has said, as of course he wouldn't say publicly something like "We have some issues with Sony" to the point that even something as basic as a patch seems impossible to come by.
$700.00 plus taxes is way too much for all the inconsistencies the PS5 Pro presents.
To make matters worst no developer would spend resources on making any games with the PS5 Pro in mind as it would be a nightmare to downscale the performance and graphical assets for the other consoles.

VR is and always will be a niche system thanks to the fact that most people suffer from some kind of motion sickness.

Re: Gamers Are Reportedly More Interested in Watching Games Than Actually Playing Them

Re: Ubisoft FPS XDefiant Shutting Down, Not Accepting New Players
We knew that once Call of Duty released, Xdefiant would be history.
There's only room for one king to reign, and that's Microsoft's Call of Duty.

Re: This Horizon Rip-Off Has to Be One of the Most Blatant Copycat Games Ever
@JustCameHereToSay : Well if the original game can no longer provide any substantial improvements then I rather have the "rip-off"
Re: This Horizon Rip-Off Has to Be One of the Most Blatant Copycat Games Ever
Well if Tencent's game ends up better than Horizon then it's a win for everyone.
Re: Another Former Mass Effect Dev's New Studio Is Facing Financial Woes

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think of the PS5 Pro, Three Weeks Later?
What do I think.....Sony released it way too undercooked, the patches and developers are totally disconnected.

Re: Random: Even Clive from Final Fantasy 16 Is Begging for Bloodborne at 60fps
Why, it has to be a reason why the developer don't want to bring anything new about the game on PlayStation since the initial release.
Do they want more money? A dispute? Bad blood between the two companies?
It has to be something going on behind the scenes preventing even a 60fps patch.

Re: Review: PS5 Pro - An Impressive Yet Inconsistent Upgrade
$700.00 plus taxes is way too much for all the inconsistencies the PS5 Pro presents.

The inconsistency of the PS5 Pro comes at too high price that is not even worth considering.

Re: Sony Comments on Concord Disaster, Says Game Should Have Been Tested Earlier
Sony excuses...it was a disaster simply because they tried to charge for what should have been a Free to play title from the very beginning.
Re: Sony Ships 65.5 Million PS5 Consoles, in Line with PS4
In other news the PS5 Pro not selling enough is causing scalpers on eBay to sell their stock at even cheaper prices than on retail stores.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS5 Pro?
Nope, I know better than spending $700.00 on barely an upgrade with mostly remasters of PS4 games.
Perhaps one day when it drops to $299.99
