Congrats Sony. The Ps4 is a Beast

piroh2553d ago

Sony is the only company i like throwing money at.

Razzer2553d ago

They keep throwing games back. I'm cool with this arrangement.

piroh2553d ago (Edited 2553d ago )

Only this year i bought Salt and sanctuary (was like 50% off, best 2D game in years), Oceanhorn (similar deal as SaS), Mantis burn racing (easter sales), Ride 2, How to survive 2, Outlast 2 (i already finished it), and spend about 30 bucks on fifa 17 packs. I am spending and i like it, wtf?

@piroh u like to throw money into a billion dollar company that couldn't give one toss about u...Let the sheeps and ponies keep throwing money. U get poorer. They get richer.

Phill-Spencer2553d ago

Boomtube

they give us something worthwile in return, they develope or let develope diverse games of quality. Unlike it's direct competitor which is only making the least possible effort to get their fans hard earned money.

Bebedora2553d ago

They do great things. Few do.

GrubsterBeater2553d ago

@boomtube

At least we are getting great games to play all the time.. it seems another console has an issue with games.

So yes, we will keep throwing money at Sony for great games, at least we CAN because.. you know... games..

morganfell2552d ago

I throw money at them and get more than its worth. And in Japan, PSVR is eating the VR market:

@boomtube,
Having worked for said billion dollar company in the past, I can tell you with complete certainty they do in fact care about gamers and try to put out things people want to play. It suits their business interests to do so, and gives most of the employees a lot of joy. Its fulfilling. Nobody is happy if they're not making their fans happy.

badz1492552d ago

LOL worst pocket commenting ever! Sorry guys

morganfell2552d ago

@boomtube1987,

Would you care to reveal how you have incredible game experiences and spend no money at all? Free to play games that equal paid titles? Also businesses would love you if you can explain how they get rich without selling a product, particularly a product people want.

You just made the most ridiculous remark of the week.

And I get rich all the time by purchasing Sony titles because I gauge my wealth in terms of the rich experience. No millionaire ever lay on his death bed and wanted another $100,000. Instead they wanted experiences. I worked hard, invested wisely and retired before I was 40. I do not have to choose between money and experiences.

Personally I think when we die that's it but since you believe in holding onto money because there is some apparent use for it when we are decrepit or in the afterlife please share with us all what form of currency depreciates the least in the great beyond.

Yeah the PS4 is quite the gaming beast.

The true Beast. Not the fake One.

Why does Sony deserve this? Just because they give us what we want? Instead of SERVICE BASED REVENUE? Oh wait.....hmmmm Good point carry on!

Anyone wanting to know what I'm talking about Phil Spencer of xbox looks up to SERVICE BASED more than big games like Horizon Zero dawn, or Zelda breath of the wild.

Liqu1d2553d ago

Phil Spencer really doesn't get it. Zelda losing it's impact? Has he seen the reception that Zelda got? And Horizon finally gave GG the attention they deserved. It's a big departure from Killzone. Meanwhile he has studios churning out Halo, Forza, Gears like clockwork. How can anyone seriously say "wait for E3" when he makes comments like that.

rainslacker2552d ago (Edited 2552d ago )

@indy

Such a myopic view from Spencer. He started off fine by saying things like that wouldn't likely be seen on service based because of their "consistency", but then he certainly extrapolated that into the market as a whole. He wasn't even subtle about it.

I'm not saying he's wrong on everything he says, but jesus, this is why Xbox is losing. Even if MS gets a good service based gaming service on par with netflix or whatever(which it looks like they're trying soon), without those huge draws to bring people in, it won't go anywhere. Netflix streaming was just a cool 2nd option for a while, until they got the good exclusive extras that stood on their own.

I'm afraid Spencer is correlating what draws customers in, and what retains customers with the least investment possible. COD can keep people invested by constantly offering relatively cheap DLC or bonuses or whatever. Hence, the service makes money longer. Sony sells tons of systems because they don't just try to keep people invested, they also continuously keep offering up things that keep drawing in new customers. That's what services like Netflix or heck even HBO offer. They have series which keep people invested for a term, but they keep coming up with new things to draw in more people. Their series are diverse, interesting, well done, and some of them are probably some of the best content that can be gotten from TV in general.

I hate to say it, but when I read Spencers comments in that article, it seems he wants to get to point Z, starting at point A, going through B and C, then skipping over D-Y and hoping Z ends in success. It's the trolls business model.
1. Make product
2. ?????
3. Profit

It's absolutely rediculous. Games like BOTW caused Switch sales to go into overdrive. HZD, or any number of other big Sony exclusives, or even many of the niche 3rd party exclusives, sell Sony hardware. I'm not sure what impact Spencer believes games need to have.....but if he actually was able to connect the "IMPACT" of these games sell system, maybe Xbox could figure out a comeback strategy.....and if that happens, I'd finally be happy that MS got it's head out of it's a** and started delivering on games.

XiNatsuDragnel2553d ago

indyman77772553d ago

You've done it now....You started a E3 wanted list.....Okay you win....I'll bite too.

1 Final Fantasy was the bomb last know what could repeat it? Announce:
"The LEGEND of DRAGOON 2 or remake" And asure people it is not episode and is true turn based.
2 Arc the lad (same deal as number above)
3 Syphon Filter PRO
4 Suikoden PRO
5 NEW JRPG

Okay I think I'm getting JRPG greedy.

Chevalier2553d ago

I am really looking forward to Wild and Dreams too!

As for RPGs, Indyman77 I agree with your list. But add in Dark Cloud 3 and if they could get Square Enix to do another Valkyrie Profile that would be great too.

GrubsterBeater2553d ago

@Chevalier

I'm really excited for Dreams, and I hope the beta comes out soon at least. Hopefully the game comes out later this year too. I don't wanna wait til 2018, but if that's the time they need to finish the product, then they can take their time to finish it and give us quality, just like Sony does 99 percent of the time.

Knushwood Butt2553d ago
