Yeah...about that.....
LOL, cut the fucking shit, Squeenix. You're going to release it on PC sooner rather than later because the PS5 sales ain't gonna cover the mahoosive budget of FFXVI.PCGamer said:
I had been looking for that picture for so long lol
Almost everything was a niche genre at that time and games were still seen as something for children and basement dwellers. Gaming itself wasn't even mainstream yet if you ask me. You know what, jRPGs is probably still a niche (that makes a lot of people go "urgh") and if you combine the sales of the 10 best jRPG releases of 2022 they probably didn't even sell as well as a poor performing Call of Duty. Or a FIFA. Those are mainstream titles.
That's really interesting. You never hear much about Korean-region games elsewhere. Are those Gamecube games in Japanese-style slipcovers?
Yeah, YouTubers, plus, you just don't need a powerful PC to play games anymore. Even laptops with integrated graphics can run Xbox 360-era games now. I'm sure Steam Deck's doing gangbusters, too.
advancements in tech/cheaper manufacturing, so possibly bigger cut for sony (or less loss each unit) and improvements like less heat/noise. apparently they already switched from 7nm in the launch model to 6nm for example.
in sony's defense move wasn't anything new, just repurposing existing tech. it was basically building on ps2's eye toy, and even got used for PSVR on the ps4 for it's wagglan controls (and working surprisingly well all things considered). same reason the dualshock 4 has that big ass lightbar btw - which for all the hate it gets lets you use the gamepad in VR like you're used to, not even PC offers that (unless you jerry-rig something).Even tho Sony and Microsoft both tried cashing in on the whole "motion controls" gimmick when it was way too late and the Wii fad had worn off, at least Sony had the common sense to abandon Playstation Move when that failed to sell instead of forcing people to buy it with the PS4 like Microsoft did with the Kinect/Xbox One, and Microsoft even gave their pathetic excuse that the "kinect was a vital part of the Xbox One", and yet they dropped the kinect from the Xbone less than a year after it came out
i had the jungle book dance game on ps1. i think i still have the dance mat inside a box somewhere.
Yeah they are. They are exactly the same as Japanese Gamecube games.
Perfect for when the connectors inevitably break and you need a replacement. I see Snoy put more thought in to this than i initially thought, good way to double dip (or triple and quadruple, we already know Sony's craftsmanship) the rubes.
If people aren't understanding what you mean, maybe you should post what you really mean rather than stating it after your original statement was called out to not be true.
I don't know why you keep bringing them up. Sony don't own Kadokawa. They only have a small stock holding. Hell, Nintendo also owns stock in Kadokawa, and Kadokawa subsidiary Spike Chunsoft recently worked with Nintendo to remake Famicom Detective Club.
It's not entirely that it was "great" and the best console ever, it that it was successful and in the end was more successful than the 360 even after the absolute disaster that was its launch.
Actually, the Famicom Detective Club remakes were developed by MAGES (which just entered insolvency in December 2022, likely due of various mismanagement with their own projects). Originally MAGES (formerly 5pb) used to be owned by Dwango, and Kadokawa by extension, but was bought by Chiyo St Inc. (Chiyomaru's own studio) in 2019 before being sold to COLOP, a smartphone game studio (acquisition happened in 2020) which was the publisher of ShiroNeko Project, a mobile game where Nintendo sued them for violating their patents.
This is utter horseshit
Drakengard 3 and Yakuza: Dead Souls run like ass on original hardware though.
