We just saw every major company reveal their cards and it was 99% remakes and sloppa
>>740758693Vote with your wallet then
Didn't even see summer games fest, what was it about?
>>740758693GOT A LIGHT?
>>740758891Doesn't work and never has
>>740758949About 2 hours
>>740758891Too late, government stole my wallet and government proxies voted for remakes and sloppa.Some of the major retards that the US bailed out in 2008 are advocating for continuing to increase videogame prices, because they've likely got direct or indirect stake in them (all these loans to videogame companies couldn't possibly fail).
>>740759052uh mostly smaller titles and the obviousFF7 got like 30 minutes of screen time while everybody got about 5 minutes at most.
>>740759052>2 hours of remakes and slopWon't even bother watching then.
>>740758693everything is made by jeets and ai now. what were you expecting exactly? the golden age of vidya was a long time ago. i'd argue the last hurrah was 2015, with a sprinkle of great games in the last 10 years.
eye look like this
so what even is the plan for the industry in 50 years? remakes of remakes? going full circle and remaking the remake in the style of the original? there's only so much you can do with a flat screen and pad/kbm, this industry doesn't even feel sustainable until deep dive vr which will be too expensive for the masses anyways. what the fuck are we even doing?
>>740760178the industry is dying, Roblox and UCD will take over
You guys complain about remakes and sequels but every time anything remotely new comes out you want it to be the next TORtanic failure.
>>740760178What does it matter if they keep remaking the same shit? You'll die out and a new generation will experience it for the first time. Why do people expect media to be designed for immortals?
>>740760278>oh boy, a new game!>studio>we hate gamers!>journos>this game isn't for you, chudcel>don't buy game>how could baron von chudlet do this to us!>they just want remakes!just make me a fucking video game.
>>740760178>so what even is the plan for the industry in 50 years? remakes of remakes?probably yeah. they'll continue to try to muscle new consoles with no justification and then remake games for the next generation even though they don't need remakes. This strategy is already showing diminishing returns but they seem like they want to keep going right on ahead.
>>740758891For every person like me who won't buy this shit, there are 100 retarded normalfags who don't know any better and will.
gaem company be like.............
>>740760602I used to be a bartender in a restaurant chain so I know what a normie really is. I would have 30 years olds talking vidya to me and its always the same thing:1. none of them ever had a gaming PC, only PS5(and ALWAYS PS5)2. they seemingly bought every single western AAA exclusive that released 3. they NEVER had anything bad to say about any of them. incredible, gas, fire, masterpiece etcThe people you think youre talking about have never used discord, theyve never even heard of /v/, they have such rich social lives that there isnt enough time for them to form negative opinions of games through forums. The people making Sony rich by buying all these GoW games are the most normal, easy to please people ive ever met, and this entire xitter/4chan culture of shitting on western games is quite funny because it literally takes place inside a bubble: nobody that all the negativity actually targets will ever see or hear any of this discourse, making it all ultimately meaningless.
>>7407590132024 says differently :)
>>740760178Indie superiority.
>>740760659lol this, sometimes the way /v/ talks it's like if /ck/ thought they could make pepsico bankrupt by just voted with their wallet
>>740760659>buy game>play 2-3 hours because too busy>wow this game is super hot fire>never play it again>repeatlife is so easy for normgoids
>>740760768Easy to dodge remake hell when the dev cycles are somehow longer than AAA
>>740760659I work a wage slave job with zoomers and alphas and this is basically itNone of them give a single fuck about any of this or complain about games, simply because they do not have the potential to care. Games are just something they do to kill time, just like how you have to take a shit after eating. Except the retards here on /v/ think about the shit they took for months on end and complain it's shit compared to other dumps and only trannies would take a shit like this one
>I'm the middle of a western global economic recession >"Omg guys why are companies cost cutting on everything"Retard
>>740760659This is exactly why most work is poison and fake, it's only designed to make people labor away in careers that don't even demand the level of manpower they claim it does just to kill the soul. Cogs aren't allowed to think or question anything, simply exhaust the spirit and erode their humanity. The ultimate consumer.
>>740758693You know what the answer is right? Don't buy any of it. But I need new games to play you might say. No you don't. Why? Because you still have that backlog you haven't even cracked open yet
>>740761071They're cost cutting everything to scrape together more money to inflate the AI bubble.
>>740760785/v/ seems to think just because they have 100+ anti-shill threads of a newly released western game per day that it is now the collective opinion of all of society4chan is less than a summer ant to these publishing giants. They have never needed to consider the sentiments of the vocal minority, They researched all this years ago and concluded that we have zero impact on profits.
>>740759013Presented without comment
>>740758891fuck you dont post that shit
>>740761320>cut costs to funnel money into AI that supposedly expedites dev cycles but games are still too expensive and take ages to come out2 more weeks I guess!
>>740760178I think some point in our life media is going to die. Which will get people to actually relearn real skills and real interests, which will spark some creativity which will then be homogenized and annexed by corporate types again. Then media will just not exist anymore. Movies, TV, games, comics it will all die for good.
>>740761207Only tasteless slopslurping retards have a backlog. There simply arent enough games worth playing for that.
>>740761591Eventually everything will be tiktok
>>740760659A reddit millennial is just the other side of the same coin. Everything is "fire" as long as it's a remake, indie, or published by Nintendo, and every shilled title is purchased without much discretion. Just saying, it's more than one demographic upholding the status quo.
>>740761591All media dying would be the good outcome compared to the alternative. What's actually going to happen is that AI slop will be so ubiquitous that people will either forget how to make media or think that it isn't worth the effort to do manually.
>uncs realizing they're getting cynical and entropy is inescapable
>>740760659This is true but its also false. Normal people can show apathy or disinterest in media die to quality. But they also wont really talk about it. Two Star Wars movies in the last 6 years have bombed. Not flopped, not underperformed….BOMBED. Star Wars the money printing saga. That doesnt happen overnight. Eventually people do get tired of garbage.
>>740760659Yeah, theyre called goycattle for a reason.
>>740760659trvke
>>740761989They get tired only when it's already too late, ie their handlers move on to the next big thing. Things don't just go back to normal from the damage done by years of bad consumer habits.
>>740761989>Mandaloriant $165 million budget and made $295 mil>Backrooms $10 million budget and made $216 milImagine telling someone in 2002 a star wars movie would make less profit than a movie about yellow lights from a meme directed by some 20 year old fetus
>>740761989>Eventually people do get tired of garbage.That is true, probably even with your example. But quality is not an issue with the God of War series. You can disagree, but the story, voice acting, combat, pacing, the score, these are extremely well made and entertaining games. The majority of people who play them will love them... So the outrage over Laufey is not real, its manufactured by a few influential content creators who make money from ad revenue, who have financial incentives to ragebait, and it tricks people. Mostly terminally online men who have nothing better to do. If people really loved both God of War games with middle aged Kratos, why exactly would they not love a spin off story about his middle aged wife?
>>740760659
>>740762603>why exactly would they not love a spin off story about his middle aged wife?because though they'll never say it they don't want to look at ugly women same as usand if confronted will just say something akin to "yeah i didnt have time to play that game" to avoid the social stigma of potentially being an "incel chud", this will all take place in their subconscious, they wont even think about it for a nanosecond
>>740761668poor retard lol
>>740763031>this will all take place in their subconscious, they wont even think about it for a nanosecondits just a retarded, unfalsifiable low iq takeYou are an outlier in society. You find this niche community and think it speaks the truth from every mans heartIn reality people are just enamored by the GoW universe and want to experience more of itThey have wives and girlfriends, they dont need to masturbate to a video game character. You probably never bought any of previous games, you wont buy Laufey, so they dont have to indulge your masturbatory fantasies
>>740762814Press S to spit
>>740760659This is why it's hilarious when discord troons force raids and make it their lives for literal decades. Nobody is going to give more of a shit about Xenoblade 2 even if you keep spamming about how amazing and Godsent it is, but carry on making that your life's mission.
>>740761438>>740758891Stellar blade
>>740763509>manlytears after hrt
>>740763424believe whatever you want, sales and active player counts don't lieslop has flopped for half a decade now and will continue to do so
>>740763424don't blame them too hard, most anons have actual autism and don't understand other people's thoughts at all
>>740762603You don’t really have good pattern recognition because replacing an established character has never sat well with people. Especially with a female one in a franchise titled “God of War.” >Ragnarok was good actually Even if you believe that…wheres the sequel to it? I mean the actual sequel not this Forspoken spinoff.
>>740758693yeah man the state of play was terrible
>>740760178The plan for most industries is to take the money and run, as much as they can get out of investors and stock marketeers. Then we bail out the global market on the back of WW3 and nobody will remember the financial chicanery because we'll be too busy trying to find enough land to dig up to bury all the Chinese.
>>740758693go watch the women-led showcase for original games
>>740758693>99% remakes60% tops>and sloppaCatch-all for "thing I dislike"
>>740764034so you would argue roughly half of the products shown are of significantly high quality?
>>740759013he doesn't know
>>740764087You are now arguing that anything "not "significantly high quality" is 'slop'.I'm saying a shit ton of games were revealed and OP is pretending the dozen he hates comprise 99% of them.
>>740763641Do you think Shift Up makes money every time someone relaunches their game to masturbate?People buy a singleplayer game, finish the story, and if its good they will buy the next one. Feel free to google how many copies GoW sold, we have different definitions of flop>>740763696Dont you think people should wait until the game is out before calling it God of Dishwashers? No one knows anything about her, except that Kratos liked her enough to marry her. Shes probably hundreds of years old so why would she not be a badass? She might be cool as fuck, possibly even more badass maybe not, who knows. But the setting being a kind of absurd, whimsical purgatory all creatures is intriguing
>>740764034anon even if it was a flat 50%? thats a lot of unnecessary remakes. That fucking blows.
>>740758693a lot of submarnites love this picture
>>740764234>Dont you think people should wait until the game is out before calling it God of Dishwashers?No. Now fuck off back to faggit.
>>740764234Oh I see you're actually a leftist faggot, now it makes sense. Fuck off
>>740764516majority of the world is leftist
>>740764234>Dont you think people should wait until the game is outEverytime with you dishonest trannies. Claiming to be “for the people” but you support corporations with your lives.
>>740764234>Dont you think people should wait until the game is out before calling it God of Dishwashers?>Shouldn't we completely ignore this company's history to give them an undeserved chance?nah nigga it doesnt work that way.
Got a recap? I can't be assed to watch 50 different hour long streams
>>740764623majority of the world are brown savages, yes
we are currently living in a timeline where Xbox has BTFO both Sony and Nintendo
>>740758693...
>>740760178nostalgia focus is a death spiral for entertainment and other creatively driven fields.for exactly what you point out, at some point you run out of shit to remake, you have remade it enough, or people are just sick of the thing being remade. Hell even remakes in general people get sick of.You need to keep making new shit, re-cashing in on older stuff just simply cannot work for companies that are not making a perishable good in the long term, it can only make up a portion of your business, a significant portion, but it can't be the focus. It feels like they are taking business inspiration from other types of businesses that can do this, you always need more steel, you don't need to change the formula, you can keep selling the same drink/food, you don't need to change it, video games simply don't work like that.
>>740760178A billion excellent games come out every month, if you think the industry is dead it's exactly because you personally don't care about any news except those about established franchises and developers. That's about you, not about the industry.
>>740760659>shitscord>goodmeds
>>740764754>>740758693To be fair both of Sony's biggest showed games weren't remakes, it was Wolverine and the new God of War.
>>740765013>A billion excellent games come out every monthName them. Describe why they’re great, good, worth investment. I will give you 3 chances. Go.
Objectively untrue but /v/ likes to make belief a false reality so they constantly feel like they are persecuted. Not that you are still playing video games at all anyway.
>>740765470Jackie Chan- FUCK
>>740765484>make the most ugly dogshit protags possible just so you can put a hood over them and make full on klansmenBrilliant
>>740765484>>740765013>>740764234This faggot is so desperate for attention
