LIVE AMMO COSPLAY posted:Naughty Dog managed to put out an entire trilogy and another new title, both brands new series' last gen but can't repeat that because everything takes longer now and will take even longer next gen. last of us remaster was in house, then uncharted 4, uncharted lost legacy, tlou2 and whatever theyre going to call the multiplayer standalone thing. i mean you can def complain about what theyve spent time on this gen (they wanted to do their own remaster to move their engine from ps3 to ps4 but it clearly ate up a lot of time and they just got bluepoint for uncharted collection) but its basically the same pace, and this entire argument ignores that all the other sony devs struggled with the ps3 hardware and have been pulling way more of their own weight this gen.

Fanatic posted:Playstation's exclusives are literally 15 hour single-player award bait with no replay value so they have plenty of spare time to whinge in this thread. Quantum of Phallus posted:the classic 15 hour games Horizon Zero Dawn, Bloodborne, Persona 5 and Yakuza 6 Only Bloodborne is exclusive. RBX posted:Gears 5 is an example of so many things. They're pulling a Bungie and adding too many modes which weakens the core experience. Escape is a waste of time and now they have Free-For-All (which was terrible in Judgment) but somehow is actually good and fun in Gears 5. The big problem however is that this is a franchise known for multiplayer and both PvP and horde rely on the same maps, and the game launched with too few maps. They've nailed the movement system, weapon balance is pretty good (but still missing some fun power weapons because ~reasons~) but they diverted resources from making multiplayer maps (this should be their top priority) to make Escape which I think everyone forgot about after day one and now they're using those resources for FFA which is awkward because it's really fun and the maps are great but they've completely forgotten about the core experience and modes it seems. Weird as well because Gears 4 got so much right and proved they knew what they were doing. Well, mostly, the differing weapon tunings for different modes was dumb as hell.

My bad, there's a bunch of Yakuza games on Steam and there's an article with the publisher saying Yakuza 6 is going there and the Wiki page had it available on Windows too. I can't see Yakuza 6 on Steam but the games have weird names so maybe idk. Also Horizon is on PC and they just added Uncharted Lost Legacy as well. Persona 5 is on there as well (and PS3). Oh and apparently I was wrong again as well, Bloodborne is on PSNow too so that's available on PC and any other device that has the service as well. They even got The Last of Us on there.

They're not exclusive if you don't need the console to play them. It's just the way the industry is going v v That and GaaS out the rear end.

out of all of those the only ones actually on now permanently/long term so far are the ps3 version of tlou and bloodborne and if you would like to go try out gun parries on ps now be my guest its almost like their little side hedge on a 1 million user streaming service puts up relevant exclusives only a while after theyve been out and for a limited period in order to drive people to buy them or to go somewhere where they can play them properly or something... maybe a platform with 100x the market penetration... who can say

Oh, wait... Actually, that's one of the pretty cool things about PSNow, the PC spec requirements are low as hell and even then you don't need a PC, Sony TVs have the service built-in and others do too, I think? Can't believe PSNow actually broke people, though. Sheesh. Maybe you shouldn't be so invested in being console warriors

SUNKOS posted:And everyone has a gaming PC with the required specs. Oh, wait... no they removed it from everything else, currently it only works on ps4, with the option to also download the games instead there, and pc/mac. ps now is definitely the best of the streaming services just by virute of running a sane data requirement and having a ton of titles on it, but being the best at a service which is fundamentally bad isnt a crowning achievement and it would honestly be better if all of them just died off. American McGay posted:Exclusives are consumer unfriendly and anyone who champions them is a weird freak. i agree, we should ideally have one platform that everything comes out on. we dont though, so which ones are worth picking up are unfortunately determined entirely by their exclusives. we live in a society...

I think the only thing that made me emotional in a game in the past decade was TLOU when the little kid tosses his transformer because he knows he's been bit and is too scared to tell anyone about it. I don't even think the story in TLOU is good but that specific segment was really well done.

Speaking of devs that Microsoft screwed over, apparently Platinum Games has been bought by Tencent or something? Not sure if they own them or it's something else but I hope they have the funds to start pumping out more games like Bayonetta/Vanquish/Metal Gear Rising now.

Tencent invested, didn't buy outright, though no one is saying how large the investment is. Platinum says they're gonna use the cash to start publishing their own stuff.

Which is another explanation for why MS loves to abuse them. Unless you're Capcom making a Street Fighter game as an exclusive then it's a heist

That will own so much. They won't compromise on 60fps so I don't think next gen will be too much of a strain for their studio if they're more focused on gameplay that runs smooth rather than 4k and stupidly fancy graphics. The new consoles will be supporting 120fps won't they? Maybe PG will have a toggle for that.

Maybe PG will have a toggle for that. theres nothing stopping anything running 120fps if they want, but most tvs are still only 60hz. pretty sure evena lot of "120hz" TVs arent actually. psvr games run 120fps. frame rate on console games is entirely a decision for devs to make and itll probably be the same again going forward.

Yeah I just thought I saw 120hz as a next gen selling point somewhere along with the SSD stuff and "no load times!" which is gonna be a bust when games are held-up by servers/matchmaking because they're online-only.
