Re: Xbox Boss Wants to Beat PS6 on Hardware Capabilities, Not Necessarily Games

?????

Look I'm not trying to act like I know more than these guys who have been in this business for so many years but dude. What hardware capabilities? Whats the next xbox gonna do? Double as a grill or something? Have AI to do my taxes? It just seems so weird that theyre doing everything but building a library of exclusives to compete. People have ps5s because of its (console) exclusives. People have switches because of their exclusives.

Unless it takes you to another world like some SAO ish then whatever the hardware does will be pointless if it comes with little to no exclusive titles. It wont turn things around immediately but you gotta start somewhere.

This gen will be hilarious to look back on

Re: SEGA Is Pondering a PS Plus-Esque Subscription of Its Own

Pepsiman_100

As much as I hate subscription services, I'd be down for this if they included HD versions of a bunch of their dreamcast, saturn, og xbox and arcade games.

Dynamite deka, burning rangers, zombie revenge, HoTD, JSR, Planet harriers, Sega race tv, after burner climax, Motoraid, Spikeout, slashout, nights, daytona, outrunners, outrun 2, virtua cop, Gunblade NY, LA machinegun, the older virtua fighters, virtual on, space channel 5, magical truck adventure, lets go jungle/island, panzer dragoon, gun valkyrie, crazy taxi, fighters megamix, sonic the fighters, fighting vipers, etc etc. They have a LOT of cool stuff they could add.

I'd very much rather they released these as collections that you can just buy but thats probs never gonna happen if it still hasnt already. So its either having them in a sub service or waiting every few years for the next yakuza game to include one

Re: You Can Get Excited for The Game Awards, Says Reputable Journalist

Wish I could get as hype for TGA as I used to with E3. Sure we've had better events before but these shows just seem underwhelming most of the time. I still appreciate gif for doing these shows bc idk who else would. It's just that with E3 I was truly hype more often than not. Now with tga I just go "Eh. Let's see what gets announced "

Tho I think I'd be more attracted to this show if they changed things up. Address certain problems in the industry like the layoffs, insane budgets, maybe advocate for physical games. Perhaps they could have a segment that talks about any crazy stuff that mightve happened during the year, developer interviews, etc etc.

Make it feel like a show about games instead of having celebrities advertising their energy drinks and giving half the show to kojima

Re: Ex-PlayStation Exec Shawn Layden Says There's Been a 'Collapse' in Gaming Creativity

Pepsiman_100

Theres plenty of creative and fun games but not enough people show up for them. Sometimes they go under the radar bc theyre overshadowed by other releases, sometimes people just dont look for them, sometimes people see them and just ignore them or come up with some stupid reason not to buy them. Sometimes they sell very well and still get dropped because they sold 5 million and not 50 million. Its mainly the big blockbusters that sell double digit millions which is why devs are relying on them.

Bayonetta origins, Atlas Fallen, Gal guardians, Gostwire tokyo, evil west, shadow warrior 3, hi fi rush, penny's big break, Bakeru, Kunitsu gami, Prince of persia lost crown, psychonauts 2, etc etc Many great games that didnt sell enough or just bombed. Theyre being made but when these kinds of games dont sell then what can we do?

Re: Anime GTA Neverness to Everness Could Be PS5's Next Big Thing

Pepsiman_100

Its such a shame really. Some of these games look like theyre pushing anime games further with their animations and gameplay but just F it all up with the gacha stuff. Even tho something like ZZZ has wonderful animation and very cool characters, the grind and simple combat sooner or later become stale and tiring

Re: SEGA Announces Two Point Museum for PS5

Pepsiman_100

I saw sega and museum in the same sentence and immediately thought it was gonna be some kind of virtual museum with a bunch of Sega stuff in it that you can examine and whatnot. Sort of like the playstation room in astros playroom.

Re: Don't Expect to See Kazuma Kiryu or Goro Majima as Guest Fighters in Tekken, Street Fighter

Pepsiman_100

Oh come AWN man. First they didnt want kiryu hitting women now this. I guess these devs just dont like cool things. Makes me wonder what other great ideas developers or their higher ups mightve prevented from happening. They put the cool badass fighting yakuza man in monkey ball and a golf game but refuse to put him in a fighting game where he can actually fight. Like what he does in his own games. Smh

Re: Double Dragon Revive Is a New, 3D Beat-'Em-Up from Arc System Works

Pepsiman_100

It looks solid but I need some raw gameplay to truly judge. Still I'm a bit bummed out now. I was hoping arcsys was doing it and actually trying their hand at action games. I dont think theres ever been a yuke's game that I was really interested in. Hopefully the final game will look better. Its still nice to see these classic bralwers coming back in a different style than the same pixel art stuff we've been getting

Re: Sunset Overdrive PS5 Port Not Happening, Insomniac's Too 'Busy'

@Westernwolf4 kind of an odd comment. Sunsets traversal is similar to Spiderman but its still pretty different. Feels more platformy. Most of the time in Spiderman you can travel just by web swinging alone without the extra jumps or wall runs. They're pretty different movement systems.

A lot of us want something a little more different than the usual grounded and realistic Super hero game. A lot of us do care more for gameplay than story
