LightningStrikes 02/14/24 7:43:04 AM #5:	I said it in the Xbox topic but these results do not look so hot for Playstation. The PS4 seems uncatchable by the PS5 now, on much smaller profit margins. Overall profits are significantly down which also means they cant do a substantial price drop like they did for the PS4. They missed their target by a lot and have a good chance of missing their new one. And this lack of big games combined with no price drop likely means things will slow from here. Expecting the PS6 to be a return to weaker, cheaper hardware which might be a good thing. --- I just decided to change this sig.

foolm0r0n 02/14/24 3:11:19 PM #37:	LightningStrikes posted... You can make open world games affordably they just dont look like Spider-Man 2. This is a trap because you need to support a live game for months and years to actually make decent profit off of it. And that's very expensive and risky and leads to layoffs when the game is canceled because why would you need the live service team anymore? Only a few devs can make prestige non-live open worlds like BOTW and Spiderman.

HeroDelTiempo17 02/14/24 6:23:42 PM #43:	In the case of Yakuza/LAD, I would say that for one thing it is not meaningfully "open world" in the same way that an Ubisoft game or even Xenoblade is. The thing there is small but dense maps with high detail but only specific ways to interact. They also manage to have such high fidelity while pumping out releases because they reuse tons of assets every time. Which is a good thing imo, but in some ways that's opposed to the blockbuster AAA model of shiny new things. See also Tears of the Kingdom reusing the Hyrule map, and how that had mixed reception. --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! https://www.backloggd.com/u/HDT/ <cite>HeroDelTiempo17 posted [p:978846527] in Sony not r...
