Re: Shuhei Yoshida on PSVR2: 'I'm Sorry'

wiiware

In the end VR is just a niche gimmick, there people that like it but it's not as mainstream as pc, handheld, or console with tv, most people prefer to sit on a sofa and play games normally rather than strapping helm-like device on their head.

Already try the first psvr, it's fun but after two weeks I'm back playing on tv and never want to play vr again.

Re: Reaction: Sony's Live Service Push Has Been a Disaster of Utterly Insane Proportions

wiiware

The funny thing about helldivers 2 is nobody see it coming, you can't just "make" successful live service games, it nearly about luck (the games has to be good too of course), being at the right time and place, like fortnite pivot to battle royale, helldivers 2 success, or marvel rivals eating overwatch 2 launch.

The only sure success that I can think of is call of duty free to play game (cod warfare), and when some cod top people goes to EA and make cod rivals, apex legend. And maybe overwatch 1 since blizzard at that time can't do no wrong.

@Rich33 Yes, this 100%, sony should focus only on making the best console with the lowest price and best exclusives so many people bought it and buy 3rd party games, the more people buy games, the more successful sony becomes, receiving 30% cut of games sold.

That's it, no need to be greedy, looks at nintendo when making live service games, they don't copy other games, but making their unique games like splatoon or dlc for mario kart, don't make games if the only reason is "ceo like money, live service is money, so make live service games".

Re: Stellar Blade Dev Says It Hopes Everyone Is 'Living in Love' After Naughty Dog Artist's Interpretation of Eve Is Unfairly Criticised

@DennisReynolds Maybe, but tlou 2 which is a divisive game sells less than tlou 1 which is beloved by many, this new game come after tlou 2 which means gamers are more wary of ND games. I think it will sells about 5-10M, even less than tlou 2.

Also I don't care about some random people labelling me, maybe about 5 years ago I will explained why it's not the case but now I understand the tactics well, just slander slander slander and hope people back off and not criticised the games, that tactic doesn't work anymore.

@PuppetMaster Just because it's fanart doesn't means gamers can't criticised it. And well, after gamers criticised it he make a new, better art, so it's better for everyone involved 😃

@PuppetMaster The artwork is done by naughty dog character concept designer hyoung taek nam.

@DennisReynolds It's boring, can you react any other ways? At this point nobody cares anymore with that label, be more creative please.

@mountain_spider Modern western politics kill western studio. Gamers around the world is okay with normal politics like war (mgs series), clashes betweeen kingdom (usually big empire vs smaller kingdoms), etc, but they didn't care about identity politics, like who care what you identify is when there's frigging zombie apocalypse around you lol.

I already lost hope for western studio, their future is being bought by tencent or going bankrupt, the only exception is gameplay focused games like cod/fortnite.

Re: Nintendo Fans Are Desperate to Know How Close Switch 2 Will Get to PS4's Power

wiiware

I'm fine with ps4 power since nintendo games already looks great with switch power (mario odyssey, luigi mansion 3, metroid prime remaster, etc). The updated switch is more needed for indie games, since now even indie games started to have 30 fps framerate (like contra operation galuga).

@Valgore It Will be pretty cool if nintendo update both switch 3D zelda games to have 2K and 60 fps on switch 2 😃

Re: Stellar Blade Dev Says It Hopes Everyone Is 'Living in Love' After Naughty Dog Artist's Interpretation of Eve Is Unfairly Criticised

wiiware

Unfairly criticised? I think it is fairly criticised, lol 😂

Just looks at marvel rivals vs overwatch 2 to see how much characters design is important to games, the games characters has to be pleasing to the eye, the west seems to have understand this before 2016, but now they we're deceived that gamers didn't want this, concord characters is the only characters design they want to make. Oh well at this point I don't care anymore since I only buy AAA asian games now.

Re: PS Portal Owners Spend More Time Playing PS5, Says Sony

wiiware

It will be cool if ps portal has wii u like capability to connect to ps5 with direct modified wifi, no internet required, just 100% connection with no lag like wii u gamepad with wii u.

After soft modding it wii u is actually quite good as nintendo legacy machine, able to play wii and gamecube games natively direct from its homescreen. And it has folder too 😃

Re: Marvel Rivals Is Truly Unstoppable As It Tops 20 Million Players

wiiware

The power of a good characters in hero shooter, I'm actually surprised the characters model are good for a western games, the male are buff as heck (like the punisher) and the female are surprisingly cute (like all of them). Until I find out the game is made by chinese developer (net ease) 😅

Yeah if western AAA game developer still want to make concord like characters in games, chinese devs with eat them alive in sales, the only exception are cod, fortnite and sport games.

Re: Former Blizzard Boss Slams Marvel Rivals, Comparing It to Horizon-Like Light of Motiram

wiiware

Lol, it's called competition, just make a better games if you want to beat your competitor 😂

@MasterTanookiChief Western developer prefer going bankrupt rather than giving gamer what they want. Although maybe that's by design, china gave them money with string (esg/dei), and when the company stock fall because nobody bought the esg games, tencent buy that company at discounted price and fire all the problematic employee from dei hiring.

Keep in mind that china ban esg/dei from their own company, you won't find esg/dei from marvel rivals (net ease), genshin impact (mihoyo), and all the gatcha games from china company.

Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Thinks the Days of Consoles Are Numbered

wiiware

There's always place for console, cheap(ist) hardware that you put on tv and play games without doing any tinkering, and play exclusive games as an added bonus. But most console are expensive now, although it's been a few years but the price is still the same, and most of the exclusive come to other system, so yeah, I think steam console-like machine can replace console if valve (not 3rd party) the one that make it and seriously sells it worldwide.

I think the exception to this is nintendo switch, since it's cheap enough and have a lot of exclusive games.

I think what happens is there's a limited number of hardcore and normal console player, and it isn't enough for infinite growth that most corporation want, unlike, say, pc gaming, where they can say there's billion of potential customers, despite not all of it want to play games.
