I only like to see people playing when is a friend alternating the control.. but I guess that analysts on youtube could increase awareness and improve sales, so it isn't negative... Not sure the strategy sony would have to implement to get it done.

On the e-sports let's see if GT can get bigger (because the Nissan Academy I would say is the biggest e-sport event I ever seen, not by the monetary prize for the 1st place but a real career opportunity is unique), SFV will be big, UC could improve on MP side and Maybe start interest in Destiny MP, CoD is with PS4 now. So I would say sooner or later it will possibly be stronger on PS4 than on X1 and WiiU.

THANK YOU for understand me :).

Yeah i agree with most of what you said except the destiny and CoD since those aint reall sony games tbh. I think the PlayStation should focusing on their own games, perhaps make the next Ratchet & Clank has a Multiplayer mode and bring it to Esport. Or just any animated games like Jak 4 or Sly Cooper 5 or PlayStation Royal Battle 2! (but i expect many people are gonna compare to Smash Bros, so maybe not a good idea after all, lol.)

Anyways, why animated games you might ask ? Well, becuz E-Sport is all about fun and excitement, so Cartoon-ish would be spot-on. And unlike realistic games like UC and GT Sport, Sly Cooper/Jak/R&C are Fantasy genre so they can put some crazy and bizzard ablities, weapons, skins, etc in there.

Another factor is to have a diversity in it.


Did you see the multiplayer trailer for UC4? If that's realistic, I think I need to go see a psychatrist. Also no, there have been two multiplayer focused Ratchet & Clanks, one was co-op, one was PvP. One sucked, both flopped, and they almost ruined thefanbase, as illustrated by the piss poir sales of Into the Nexus. If Sony were going to try to make a push into e-sports with their first party games, at least do it with a franchise that fits.

 

The thing is, for video game publishers, the only real gain from e-sports is that it's marketing for your game. So if you need to create game specifically for e-sports, the whole point is kinda lost. And I'd prefer Sony's devs making the games they want, instead of aiming specifically to create something for e-sports. If what they create end up as an e-sport, great! But I don't care, and I doubt Sony cares if it doesn't.
