No
That's what I wrote. I was obviously talking about high end components at 400$, not just about the price, because I expect 400$ price point just with slower components.
That's your point of view and it's fair to doubt. But to me, the single fact that MM was given those 9 years of development, without any profit in return, to create such a singular game experience like Dreams (and don't forget The Last Guardian also!) it's the proof that they are not going to abandon those niche or experimental games that have made their library so diverse through the years. And PSVR2 the same, are you forgetting or didn't sawtldr: media molecule not long for this world; sony game template isincreasingly true; psvr2 wont happen.
a few thoughts on MM:
An easy game creation game is a great idea for a product. But Dreams has three flaws. First, creating with just a controller is a terrible idea. It is as dumb as having PSVR controllers with no analog sticks. And as with PSVR, the control scheme will be its achilles heel. Second, having it on PSN means sony becomes responsible for the content, which means a lot of the cool stuff will be deleted. Finally, Sony is cheap as fuck. MM has 50 staff, including support..so probably only 30 actual developers at most. This is why the game has taken for ever and will never be feature complete, things like psvr support and allowing creation on PC.
I still bought it because I like games that aren‘t all about killing and critic baiting stories. But I fully expect it to go the way of project Spark.
MM, Sony, and Nintendo type games:
I really wish Sony valued gameplay first games with broad family appeal enough to have a ‘Nintendo’ division.
They have a few properties like Ratchet, Sly, and the glorious Astrobot; but not enough to cultivate an audience for that style of game. So when they do release a Nintendo game, very few PS owners even look at it. And Nintendo zealots, many of whom work in games media, have an uncontrollable need to savage the product to product their first love.
But yeah, I mean ps all stars (smash-like game) had this line up:
As far as broad appeal, family friendly IP goes...woof.
Sony Strategy and MM Place in It:
Sony’s strategy with PlayStation over the last generation has been to relentlessly focus on most profitable areas to the detriment of variety and experimentation. . Or as Sony PR put it when they closed Manchester “focus on operational effectiveness and efficiency”—which in non-jargon means making the most profitable types of games with the least investment possible.
Molecule is from another time when Sony put money into more experimental things because they saw game diversity as important. 2020 Sony would never buy a Media Molecule studio to make console games. Today, sony investment goes to exploitative mobile properties like Fate/Order (highest grossing mobile game of 2019 believe it or not)—they bought AniPlex in order to have access to IPs for that purpose. And they heavily invest in big selling AAA 3rd person action adventure games with large story components.
PSVR has been a bright spot in the drive towards AAA arpg cinematic story game homogenisation. But the closing of Manchester tells me Sony is done. PSVR2, as with a Vita2, requires too investment for too little return. This is just a guess based on my own psvr experience, which involved shit non-analog stick move controllers ruining games and unhooking it and putting it in a corner. Also based on the fact Sony has to compete with the massive investment Facebook is pouring into VR, 500 millions USD into game development alone. If Sony cant compete with tiny Nintendo in handheld, yeah Facebook backed VR....
anyway, if you made it this far cheers.

post on it? The new consoles will not disappoint. Not me, at least.
I'm sorry, I don't have more time for now.
Cheers.
Dumbest prediction ever.
“As fast as possible”.....as in, using their PSN and users’ digital games and cloud stuff, the transition will be much smoother, that’s what they meant, they didn’t mean that it will be a cheap console like PS4 at $400.

Ok, but I'm talking about migrating to SX. I agree 100% with you about Gamepass, but people can have it TODAY in their Xbox ONE and will play all new releases just where they are. And if Xcloud is good enough for the average customer, they don't even have to get hardware to play at all. I wouldn't be surprised if this partnership with Samsung led Gamepass to their TVs alongside their phones.
Yes I will twist everything to my agenda... but can you remind me what is my agenda?“As fast as possible”.....as in, using their PSN and users’ digital games and cloud stuff, the transition will be much smoother, that’s what they meant, they didn’t mean that it will be a cheap console like PS4 at $400.
And it seems like you turn the blind eye and ignore when Sony said that the PlayStation 5 is for “hardcore gamers who obsess over the latest graphical and technology features” and that it is going to be made primarily for the “highest-end graphics” as Sony told Wall Street Journal in June of 2019, not to mention the specs that they have announced so far are very next-gen looking, but you will spin everything to fit your agenda of course and say that Sony is focusing for the $400 when NONE of what they said points to that as what happen.
Here is the Wall Street Journal news:
Sony Positions Next PlayStation for Hard-Core Gamers
Sony’s next-generation PlayStation is still more than a year away, but its marketing strategy against newcomers like Google is already clear: Focus on hard-core gamers who obsess over the latest features.
So you do not know what you’re doing? That’s weirdYes I will twist everything to my agenda... but can you remind me what is my agenda?
I couldn't disagree with you more.
I never said the opposite... good games are good games.
I don't think it's going to be a monster, im beting on the implementation of a 3D stacked chips layout to maintain the standard console form factor.Your argument is very good, so I guess people can still dream about monster PS5 (HBM, 14TF dual GPU), because everything is still possible.
ethomaz
csn I just ask, have you played any of the BC games, such as those on the One X?
Demon’s remake or 2 should be better use of that money.
I don’t play even remaster of games I already played.
because playing them in 4k is bloody awesome, and worth the entry price alone.
Don’t forget that some games already look damn fine, but people will have missed out on them. I myself have played hundreds of hours of X BC games that I missed back in the day.
In fact the only improvement I could think of is that games were five new achievements where there wasn’t any before.
But a games age a doesn’t dictate how good it plays, even more so when you missed it first time around ☺
But if this money spent on BC is going to be in fact, one of the 'fastest transition' selling points, then that's investment with guaranteed return, and will not interfere in any other areas.
Well when I shift gens I basically give up on back log... I just move on to new releases.I didn't go Pro this generation, and I've got a healthy backlog of titles which I looking to leave until PS5 hits. BC will allow me to play them all at least at Pro levels, hopefully better. God of War, Jedi Fallen Order, Shadow of the Colossus, Death Stranding - going to hit next gen running with a pre-made backlog
Yeap... I understand the need of reboot, remasters and remake but I still prefer that money in new games (sequels or IPs).
tldr: media molecule not long for this world; sony game template isincreasingly true; psvr2 wont happen.

One is 40% diff the other is 34% diff.Tried to compare gap re last gen if 9.2 rumours are correct. if it turns out to be true PS will be in a situation XB was last gen
9.2TF PS5 vs 12.4TF XSX
1.31 XBO vs 1.84 PS4
It's the number one thing I wanna see and know about.
You know Sony can’t produce enough consoles for a fast transition even without BC.
It is the same no matter the aspect ratio... in fact it is not related with aspect ratio lol
You really want to hear it? Surpise surprise... I simply have no agendaSo you do not know what you’re doing? That’s weird
.
I'm going to make you a sportsman's bet that it'll be everything (full specs, pricing, first party launch titles) before April
(https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sportsman's_bet)
People will buy it the same reason they bought PS4 and One even both had shitty starting titles. They want something new and better grapics. Let's be honest, the first good mainstream PS4 exclusive was Uncharted 4 in may 2016, but people bought the console like crazy anyways.
I thought over 1k victims died already and everybody else is having some mental issues.
Idea is to distribute power evenly over pixels and then do the comparison. How is it misrepresenting?
Can you imagine it actually being v-shaped... That would be so ugly (imo)
