More profit for Take Two, they dont make a dime off a used game. If everyone has to buy it new, even if digital storefronts get a cut it would still be alot more money for them after another 13 years. Owning a disk based game is not owning anyway, cant play my physical version of The Crew or Concord just to name a couple.
They probably have no choice but to start fresh. Cut day one gamepass, bring back console exclusives so consumers have to buy the console to play. Worked since the 80s, they had no need to reinvent in the mid 2010s. I dont see Nintendo starving for content or consumers. History always repeats, just keep it simple and dont overly chase pop culture. The plumber still sells well with a simple formula since at least 1983
@Rich33 With Sony’s recent findings and invention of high capacity cartridges, its a good hypothesis to say the PS6 could use high capacity cartridges over still slow optical media.
@Oram77 Nearly 30 million units sold on PS3 alone, as last reported. And that was 7 years after the console released. Making it the number 1 sold game on the PS3 almost 3 times more than GT5. Actual numbers are way higher im sure. Im sure GTA 6 will sell more consoles than Xbox by 70/30 at least.
The year was 2004, the publishers didn't strategize their releases. They just released bangers every other week. Also known as most of the best video games of all time.
People think Bluepoint was a big creative developer for Sony, no all they did was release remasters of games. They never created their own game. Sony needs to focus on new game development to continue its legacy and not worry about remasters. Playstation is not known for remastering old games, its known by its amazing IP catalogue for over 30 years. Great move Sony
@SteveJaye Digital Foundry did a good video on it before, showing how the frame milliseconds equal into seconds correctly compared to 30fps or something ill never understand by the math. They showed why many feel its more stable and clear then it really should be.
Loved Spiderman 2 just hoped for some sort of after release support. Leaks happen but dont change whats released or not, must have been decided before release that would not have a dlc following.
@Frmknst Yes you are correct, it was free to play on the ps plus catalogue 3 separate times with the last time being available for over a year. This may soon be available as a free game on ps plus to download but still not a free game as once you don’t have ps plus and connect to the internet then your “free game” no longer works
Ai is a tool as is a keyboard. I remember when the first computers came out and people would say the same thing. Scold others for using a pc to write and do their projects. Most who fear amazing tech when it’s new are the ones who will end up using it the most later on.
