Whats with the obsession with that Hirai guy?


 

he's got chocolate cake and Final Fantasy Versus XII....What's not to obsess about?

I'm serious that guy is put on a pedestal higher than p*s**. What has he done for that? I don't know him very well.

Yeah, big talk. Show us your DRM policy and we'll see if you really are committed to appealing to gamers, rather than game publishers.


LOL....Can we count how many exclusives Sony has been putting out vs the competition as of late let alone new IP's? I mean question them on the DRM but the games? Really?

Yes, question him on DRM, a topic they say close to nothing by now and the topic MS gets (deserved) hate by now, overshadowing their upcoming games.

Uhhhh dude...Yoshida answered in the beginning of may that DRM wasnt even thought of for the PS4. Sorry...that ton of bricks falling from the heavens is all on MS. The only true question Sony needs to really answer is about used games blockage, which knowing them they are pro consumer (especially the last 4 years). Sony would be stuck more between rock and a hard place with fans and publishers. MS would choose publishers over fans any day and they've proven that time and time again...especially recently with EA...but their relationship with activision is old news.

That "dude"-stuff is getting annoying. I feel sorry I gave you the possibility to spit out your agenda, I should have known better.

Let's just wait and see what $ony and MS will give us at E3. Also, $ony said to used games "up to devs".

As i said....a rock and a hard place. Leaving things up to devs is better than saying you're locked down to an account no matter what for games. You're right about E3 though, so lets end it at that.

No. People come out from companies and say different things. In the link interactive entertainment business lead for Microsoft Xbox Australia, Jeremy Hinton, says it's up to publishers. I also remember others saying similar things yet this site among others have it all set in stone... We have to wait till E3 or we'll end up posting our opinion thinking it's fact when it isn't.

PS4, for gamers, by gamers



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

No dilemna. i'm sure it's possible to fuck, eat and play at the same time. That's to test your determination

Words. Different words and emphasis, same outcome. You watch.

Will the ps4 end up with more games than the Xbox one? No.

It's actually very odd though that a company with so much on tap media content, movies and music, doesn't want to talk about it for fear of upsetting fans. They still don't get synergy.


Ummmm let me see... yes! 


lol i had to laugh at that myself..... 

and to the sony and rights aspects they only have to hold off long enough for microsoft to tighten the noose a little more.  microsoft actually believed they had a good show.  then they ran into a messaging train wreck.  microsoft while saying in a podcast the reveal pretty much wouldn't be about games.  they could've did a better job at conveying the message.  yusef came out and said games but will get to that later now let's kill 30 minutes on tv stuff.  like i said before they screwed up on time management.  45 minutes reveal and features, 45 minutes games and gameplay.  call of duty in illumiroom for 15.  ea sports talk for 10.  a platformer, more of quantum break wouldve been suffice.  then flashes of the titles coming even 3rd party.  sony was smart to just shut up grab the semi praise and run.
