1. Developers don't need help. Make a better game and people won't sell it. It really is that simple.

2. It's a games console first. PS4 will have apps and multi-media features that will only get better over time.

3. Not sure I understand what you're trying to say here. The PS4 line-up is great considering how many PS3 exclusives Sony is releasing this year. PS4 will get Uncharted, Gran Turismo..etc...tc. Be patient.

4. Sony wants the next Minecraft-type phenomenon to be only on PS4. Yes there will be a lot of duds, but there will also be hidden gems that will one day explode in popularity. They also make great Playstation Plus freebies!

You know this is a very ethnocentric way of thinking. Just because you and Ethomaz don't see anything wrong from YOUR point of view, doesn't mean there aren't problems. Hell, even if it seemed like the whole world didn't see problems with these things, there will always be at least some population that sees these decisions as bad for the console

Uh....ok?

PS4 has problem?!



 

I'm sorry. Where have people been crapping on the PS4? Did I miss something? I have been away for a while, so I might have.



I would say the following picture represents this thread quite well

 

y'all need to start reading the OP

Thank you for understanding. Like I said in the op, these aren't problems to me...its just that they seem to be big problems based on what people have been saying.

Problem: No clear attempt to help third party developers.
Let's face it, Used games are a problem. Well, not really used games, but the used games market. None of these profits go to developers, so devs lose out on so much deserved revenue.  And what about the ability to just recklessly lend discs to friends? Or how Sony provides extra digital licenses that gamers ignorantly share with one another?  All these things really hurt the developers.
Clarity: This isn't a problem, you are a consumer, not a corporation! What are we supposed to do, just give devs more money for making forgettable games that nobody wants to keep in their collection? I mean, I understand how sharing games can definitely lose devs money, especially when it's as easy as just passing a disc around a dozen people, but if devs want this money, they need to make games that people want to play constantly.

 

Dude, the problem isn't the used game market. No one was complaining about it 10 years ago. The serious problem is the current business model, with games having huge budgets and needing to sell millions to break even, a game like RE6 selling millions and still dissapointing the dev.

That, my friend is a serious problem which can destroy the industry. Many devs went bankrupt the previous gen but nothing has been done about it with the next gen.

well, supposedly dev work is supposed to be cheap for ps3 this gen, but that is still bad imo since it's still too expensive.



lol thank you Ethomaz :D

I was all set to Rage Type after reading the first problem, until I read the clarity portion of it. In my opinion, that particular gripe has to be the most moronic one in existence. If car companies can coexist with a used car market, then game publishers can coexist with a used game market.

Did you read the rest of it? I guess the used game thing with publishers is currently the biggest gripe, but it's not so bad considering.



A good morning laugh.
