Re: Talking Point: Does PS5 Have a Sequel Problem?

@Porco i feel like people remember those days more then what they actually were , don't get me wrong i enjoyed resistance and killzone , but horizon far west out sold the entire killzone and resistance series combined. i'm pretty sure the 3rd resistance game barely sold over 1 million copies.

Re: Talking Point: Does PS5 Have a Sequel Problem?

reading these comments people forget the issues sony had with their developers and time crunches , meaning they were working 60-80 hour weeks to crank those games out faster. which was one of the things along with the covid era that has delayed games making it take longer to finish the game. but i'd rather more transparency from sony then saying they have a sequel problem. they have all these studios working on games we don't even know about , and the issue is people read too much online either true or not even true while sony is tight lipped about what is being developed. i would rather have a longer wait after the announcement then a short announcement to release time frame , at least we know what is coming though.

@Grumps859 who knows , maybe their concept of what a days gone sequel wouldn't have been good, at the end of the day these games cost more then ever to develop , but this is nothing new , we just have more access to news then what we had back then, but alot of content would be cut out , games would never make it past the concept stage or get cancelled we would just never find out about them or find out years later.

Re: Don't Expect Intergalactic PS5 to Launch Until at Least 2027

if you are going to go with whatever story you are weaving in your head sure. but between covid shutting things down , amoung many other things you can't compare this era with others. also i don't think you bothered to read what i wrote? they hired people for the live service stuff , you can blame it all you want on that , but thats not reality. who says they are even working on last of us3

@Striker21 the studios expanded for the live service games though , which is why naughty dog laid off a lot of those extra hires when their live service game was cancelled , so it didn't really take away from single player games. i would say the covid shut downs impacted a team like naughty dog more , along with a few others , in at least one of their games would have been out by now, but they also have stated that they are currently working on a 2nd game along with intergalactic.

Re: Valve's Steam Machine May Not Be As Affordable As a PS5

@11001100110zero honestly i enjoy civil back and forths , i think of people always agree on everything it kind of makes things boring. i'll suggest when linus has his custom pc thats supposed to be compared to a steam machine i think he'll show you can get something smaller , better , for about the same price. even with all my doubts and questions about it , i still think there will be some people that will be pretty happy with this, i have a friend that wants to get into pc gaming , but with out really needing a dedicated gaming rig like the one i have. at the end of the day it really depends on the price, and hopefully they are taking the feedback they've gotten so far into how the final price will be.

@StitchJones linus said hes going to build his own to compare , not sure if hes building it stronger or the same specs , but it should be interesting in how it comes out. like what you said , idk who this is even marketed towards tbh. maybe they are going to price it based off of the reactions.

Re: Valve's Steam Machine May Not Be As Affordable As a PS5

@11001100110zero i think you touched the head on the biggest question about this thing, is it a console or is it a pc? it can't be both. and it all comes down to the price as well , if its priced too high then its just a pc that is not upgradable , if its a console and its priced too high , then its an worse value imo then a digital ps5. the other biggest question is how many games at launch day are actually playable on this thing. having a steam deck , only so many games are fully playable currently so not every game is compatible with it. which goes into the next question , why would you even wait around for this thing , when you could just build a pc that is 1) upgradable , and 2) actually more powerful then this thing , that you can hook it up to your tv to play games on.

Re: Valve's Steam Machine May Not Be As Affordable As a PS5

honestly the more that comes out about it , i still can't see who this is for , i guess its a simple pc for those who don't really care about having a pc and don't really need games to look really good. but i think if its priced too much , then i can't really come up with much of a reason to not just build a better pc that you can upgrade.

Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage Update 1.1.0 Adds Major Free DLC, Patch Notes Revealed

@wildcat_kickz i do respect where you are coming from with all of this and you are really well spoken , and by no means am i trying to change any ones minds or opinions about this topic. Like you and i both said , its free , so by playing this you aren't really supporting anything other then the developers for the game , ( or that's how i see it). i wouldn't really be surprised if the they had plans with " if we could make dlc " this would be the dlc. so if it was the developers dream to make this dlc and bring their vision to life , i think thats a win for them since they were able to get it funded by some one else making it free for every one.

Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage Update 1.1.0 Adds Major Free DLC, Patch Notes Revealed

twitchtvpat

@wildcat_kickz I get your point , and that's fine. But at the same time that is the area where the game is located in, so it makes sense in that ubisoft had this idea for dlc if they were going to make it for this game , and pif said if you make it we'll fund it for you since its taking part in this country. i could see if they went out and charged money and had it completely funded for them then i would have an issue with that.

Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?

twitchtvpat

@commentlife i hate to say this but it won't, if people were that into pc gaming they would have a gaming pc they would be able to upgrade this isn't upgrade able. also i don't see how it would be competing against playstation when its only sold in one place aside from resellers selling on amazon or other market places.

Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?

twitchtvpat

@ILikeStake with all that being said , i still think its an interesting device , i'll keep an eye out on it, i already bought a steam deck ( funny story by selling csgo skins i got it for free pretty much) but i don't really use it as much as i expected to. and honestly im gonna suggest it to a friend that was considering getting a gaming pc , but he just wanted to play steam games with out spending too much money on a rig.

Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?

twitchtvpat

@ILikeStake i don't really see it taking over the console market with something that less powerful then any of the consoles currently on the market other then the series S. i give it maybe 6-8 million units which would be pretty good for them tbh. you also have to take in the part that they only sell these things on their store , other then resellers selling them for more money on amazon and ebay.

Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?

twitchtvpat

@ILikeStake but who is this for? i mean you can buy a pc right now more powerful for slightly more money then probably this would cost , that you can upgrade , but once this is outdated you would have to buy another one which i guess which makes it like a console. i bought a gaming rig 5 years ago , and i could prob go 4-5 more years with out touching it. i guess it would be good for people that aren't into consoles but that don't want to fully commit to a full gaming pc. but thats just me this whole unit is confusing in who they are marketing it to.

Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?

@VeganH eh have you seen it in action? i would suggest there are plenty of videos of it out there. after seeing this in action i have no idea who is it for , if you have a gaming pc , you already have something better already , if you have a console like a ps5 base or pro its already better then this, going from a ps5 to this would be a downgrade.

Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?

twitchtvpat

@ILikeStake its upscalled 4k not native. , its the same as saying , " the xbox series S is gonna give the ps5 pro/ ps6 a run for its money." maybe watch the digital foundry video to see it in action but at this point it very much isn't even a thought for sony tbh. i mean if you have a pc already with any thing from the most recent years , you literally have no reason to buy this.

Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?

twitchtvpat

@ILikeStake df already did a hands on video , its bellow a ps5 and above a xbox series S , they didn't know who this was for as its not really the 4k 60fps machine they are advertising. honestly i don't even think the are marketing it as something to compete against a ps5.
