PlayStations Xbox Game Pass rival reportedly in the works

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

Throughout this thread nobody is mentioning the cloud and how far advance it is compared to PS. I don’t see how Sony could compete.

They would have to use the network of someone else's but it would likely be ok. The issue is that the analytics are driving Sony now. Why? Because they support the company as a whole. They saw people not buy the Gravity Rushes, Killzones, Team Ico games, Hot Shots Golf, Resistance games and before those, the Jak & Daxter's and SOCOMs and Twisted Metal. Some of the greatest franchises and Sony doesn't give two shyts about them anymore. So, what is their reaction to all of that? Only games that are blockbusters so that is why that was be HouseMarque's first and last time making an AAA game because I'm sorry, Returnal isn't selling at $70. Where is this generations' Tearaways, Warhawk, Flower or Journey going to come from? The strong AA game with that price point that is appropriate for it? I know where, it's not coming because most of y'all didn't buy those games while I look at all of them on my shelves in disgust, just like y'all didn't buy the Vita which is the greatest handheld console ever created (I'm not calling the Switch a handheld because of its multi-faceted purpose.) Just like y'all didn't buy VR. Sure, Sony is making a second version but it was mostly 3rd party that carried the first version. Sony's plan is transparent. Make just AAA games and moneyhat the rest so yes, the PS5 is likely to be the God of War/Uncharted/Horizon Zero Dawn/Last of Us/Spiderman console and sprinkle in some Ghost of Tsushima and Ratchet & Clank for good measure. The risks will be far and few between.

They have homogenized their entire lineup to the same type of game in different worlds. Where is the diversity going to come from with different genres. 3rd person adventure games plus a racer in Gran Turismo.

Sure, Nintendo whores Mario's name to everything under the sun but at least they make different genres with the property. Tennis, Racing, Kart and they do exhaust the IP by releasing multiple versions a console. Microsoft is the most diverse of all of the companies, before they brought Bethesda into the fold. Multiple titles in the same genres.

Their games run as a template now. That's why, when I ran through TLOU2, I couldn't help but think that this was standard Naughty Dog fare, incredible visuals, meh gameplay, best voice acting dialogue interaction between multiple characters I've seen in a while, it reminded me of the paint by numbers feel that I felt when I played through Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. Everything felt Zelda-ish but like they went through the checklist of things that they know Zelda fans would want and polished it up well. All great games but somewhat soulless.

And people are on to it. When you see Sony games, how do you not see this?



I see the same game, just with a different protagonist. That gets old for people. Sad thing is, it wasn't my purchase habits that forced them to this conclusion. I bought all of that other stuff. Y'all didn't, that's how we got here.

the Microsoft exclusive template

This post does nothing to refute my post, actually serves to only accentuate it. Microsoft got their comeuppance because of this laziness too. So that is why when Phil came on board, games like Sea of Thieves came out. Flight Simulator was greenlighted. To where we are today.

Those games still exist, but a lot of other genres are being given the AAA treatment as well. Microsoft are worlds away from what they were.

What a nonsensical excuse of a post.

I love how you post a few AAA third person adventure games and leave out the games such as Astrobot, Spiderman, Dreams, Little big planet, Ratchet and Clank and a plethora of other smaller games just to make a false point.

By your own logic, Forza and Forza Horizon are the same game. Gears and Control are the same too huh?

That's like posting a screenshot of Halo, Titanfall, COD, BF, Overwatch, Doom, BioShock and RE8 and concluding that they're all the same game because
of the camera angle.

I hope you're getting paid for this pathetic, cringey ass stanning you're doing.

where the fukk are these other AAA games at? I would love to know


get these lame ass list the fuuuuck outta here.

Having access to games that I would probably never purchase if I didn't have them to load up and play while waiting on new games isn't a bad thing. Just like most new music I listen to on spotify.

Everyone is waiting on games right now, being able to play from a huge selection of games including day and date new ones and enhanced older ones.... I just down see the downside as a consumer. The service would have to be like 29-39 bucks before I i'd even actually start to think about "is it worth it" for a on going subscription.

Key word.

You would think this early 2007 the way some people are acting.

In all actuality it's the same as it's been for the last decade.

Throughout this thread nobody is mentioning the cloud and how far advance it is compared to PS. I don’t see how Sony could compete.
