Re: PS6 Could Be Less Than Half the Price of Microsoft's 'Very Premium' Next-Gen Xbox

@themightyant how would that be possible though? The PS5 Pro is currently $700. If the PS6 launches at $600, then PS5 pro would have to drop to $500. There would have to be at least a $100 difference between the old and new console to make any sense. It also wouldn't make sense for PS5 Pro to remain at $700 while the PS6 launches at $600.

Anyways, this is just a long way of me saying I think the PS6 is going to be at least $800. They haven't dropped the price of the base PS5. They've actually raised its price in some regions. And if the price of the base model is staying put, I think the same will hold true for the Pro.

I just don't know where people are getting this $600 price tag from. Now I will happily like to be proven wrong and Sony actually drops the Pro price to make way for a relatively affordable PS6. I just don't trust Sony to do that given how this Gen has gone

Re: Physical Media Just Can't Catch a Break Right Now

So for the physical-only people, do they just not play indie games? Because most indie games don't get physical releases unless it sold well digitally. Which means most indie games aren't available physically. There's a whole realm of games that people won't touch out of principle? And with digital, doesn't more money go to the developer/publisher since there's no manufacturing and distribution costs? I'd rather the people that make games get more of my money rather than be concerned about whether I have a physical disc with resale value even though I'll probably never sell it.

Re: Talking Point: What PS5, PS4 Live Service Games from Sony Do You Want?

ICO. 2 Players as Ico and Yorda. Maybe 8-10 as the shadowy monsters that try to kidnap Yorda. Every match is a series of timed proc-gen puzzles.

Shadow of the Colossus. Basically, 4-player colossi hunts. SotC x Monster Hunter.

The Last Guardian. 4-6 players control a different limb/tail/head of Trico Octodad-style. One player is the boy. No one has fun.

Or MAG2 but 512 players or something ridiculous.

Re: Poll: Is PlayStation Losing Ground to Xbox?

I'd like to think a 'PlayStation Game Pass' would be the perfect way for Sony to make smaller, weird games again without having to worry about sales. Imagine Vib Ribbon HD or a new Patapon that can launch on said service and actually have a good shot at finding a bigger audience than before. Or I don't know, an echochrome-maker free to all subscribers that gives some neat extra value a la Tetris 99 / Pac-Man 99.
