In a couple more years games like Persona 6 will be out and the port begging cycle will begin anew.
PS3 had lots of good games, naturally at that time there was a lot of port begging. That dried up pretty quickly and now it's almost non-existent. Can't beg for ports when there's nothing available.
It looks very unlikely, especially since this has happened before with the PS3 getting games 3-4 years into the PS4's lifecycle that were ports as well. They are however are not producing more PS4s to be third tier system unlike prior generations, which means enough people have been switching over to the PS5.
What's that have to do with anything...?
VR is niche. It could have the best games ever, but still not as many people would be interested in it as they would be in worse games for normal systems.
VR doesn't really work for me. I feel like I just have a very tiny movie theater strapped to my head.
And of course there is the little issue of motion sickness, which will keep a lot of people from even thinking of partaking in VR.
You're not really missing anything spectacular. Most of the songs is licensed radio shit, the only song I unironically enjoyed playing was the crab rave song (yes, they actually added a fucking meme to a rhythm game).
You're pretty much explaining why sony regulated niche games to VR instead of having their main studios develop them as their main console titles.
You realize Sony didn't expect the same numbers from a quirky, low budget, digital-only game as they did from something like Killzone or Uncharted, right...? They weren't having an emergency meeting because it didn't do gangbusters.
Actually they did because the PS3 had nothing for quite a long time. There's also instances of stuff like both Gravity Rush games not doing well.
They stopped allocating funds for smaller games because they were not making money especially when compared to the growing indie scene. People were not buying them.
Did they stop allocating funds for bigger games too? That'd explain the PS5's drought...
They really have not released a bad or underwhelming game since TLOU2.
I wouldn't call having one of the lowest Metacritic ratings ever being split on anything. Reception to that game has been universally negative.
Oh you shouldn't have said that, now they're gonna type out a 17 page essay on Metacritic's integrity and how "ACKSHUALLY the sales numbers prove otherwise!!!", hope you're prepared.
Yeah all those studios they bought, like the ones who make ports of other peoples' older more successful games. Or have made no new games for over half a decade. Or straight up haven't made any whatsoever.
Yeah, most of my desire to keep a tab on PSVR sales evaporated when I actually checked out the soundtrack. It's pretty awful. The PC version allows custom tracks, though, but a Valve Index set is a thousand dollars, and I doubt they're ever going to put it on clearance for 85% off.
>conveniently ignoring one of the only PS5 exclusives, that was also massive bomb, whilst pretending the PS5 has loads of exclusives
Destruction Allstars wasn't made by Sony itself though. Lucid is an independent studio currently.
