> What was once the miracle recipe behind Uncharted has now become the de facto template for almost every Sony project, resulting in an incredibly polished homogeneous mass> lavish cutscenes, approachable combat with a light sprinkling of RPG skills, sneaking through waist-high grass to perform simple stealth takedowns, and filling a rage meter to trigger an ultimate ability>Four of this generation's major first-party exclusives – Ghost of Yotei, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarok, and Horizon Forbidden West – are almost indistinguishable from their PS4 predecessors when it comes to how they play. Never mind the fact that there is significant overlap between each game's design languageOuch… you can tell IGN’s paycheck bounced
>>747421815>elite-tiertalk about a rude awakening for those faggots
>>747421815It looks like Sony closes the sponsorship program for jornos, along with prestige games. TGA will be Chinese
>>747421815>from day one>for every PS since PS2>Sony historically championedthis nigga has never touched a game before PS3, historically Sony used to make fucking video games with gameplay before they switched to movie games
Absolutely nothing has changed. the slop of the past is the same slop today on playstation. at this point I really do believe microsoft just paid a huge amount to some sort of marketing campaign because they have been flooding the board right along the same time these articles started coming out
>>747421964This, it was never elite even for the time, it was just novel but still ultra processed slop. If you think uncharted 4 or the last of us 1 or god of war 2018 were any better than Wolverine because you played them when you were younger, you are just a retard in denial.
The best part is the slow walking and talking was a hold over from PS3 limitations having a slow hard drive and less ram than 360 and now it's a genuine game design mechanic used on SSD machines.
>>747421815*siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip*
>>747422696>Sony's entire future may now be resting solely on this game
>>747422865Damn, I'd hope so.
>>747422865Well, that and Wife of War.
>>747421815>Sequels play too similar to their predecessorsWhat the fuck is this criticism? They're sequels.
You guys said this for 20+ years bro
>>747423131>snoy has been completely worthless since the PS3>2006Yeah, sounds about right.
>>747421815>Sonys priority now is marvel slop, woke shit like horizon and live service shit
NINTENDO WONNED
>>747421815>are almost indistinguishable from their PS4 predecessors when it comes to how they playLmao even the journos are starting to notice that Playstation Studios are HACKS.
>>747423304And yet keep doing well lmao
>>747423753Back then, the level of backlash they faced wasn't as bad as this. ShillUp faced backlash for his review of TLOU2 and FFXVI, but he's faced none for Wolverine.
>>747421815>approachable combat with a light sprinkling of RPG skills, sneaking through waist-high grass to perform simple stealth takedowns, and filling a rage meter to trigger an ultimate abilityUncharted didn't have any of these. Only 4 and Lost Lesbians had some optional sneaking during real gameplay.
IGN has been captured by their audience is just telling them what they want to hear.
>Be me>Own PS5>Just finished SH2 Remake>Currently enjoying the FF Resonance demo>Skipping Wolverine because Insomniac is wack>Maybe playing Control Resonant... maybe>Looking forward to Ghost of Yotei DLC on October 1st>Phantom Blade Zero, Galactic Racer, and FF Resonance after that>Wondering if we'll ever see the Lies of Dorothy reveal>Looking forward to Tides of Annihilation>New Wukong gameplay looked tightI enjoy my console. Meanwhile...>Sony keeps shoving a shotgun in its mouth and pulling the trigger to see how many shells they can tankNot my problem lol. Maybe they'll course correct before PS6. I thought the OoT remake looked cool in motion so maybe, maybe, I'll get a Switch 2 down the road. But I own the OG Switch and it sucked so I'm immune to Nintendo hype bullshit. And I don't care about GTAVI at all. I am the only anon on this site who likes videogamea and doesn't care about console war bullshit. PS5 lets me play nearly everything (for now), so it's still good in my book.
>>747423131And it’s been true for 20 years
>>747424185This isn't a counterpoint. An audience composed of people like you is why Playstation's future is bleak. You have no brand loyalty because Playstation no longer attempts to cultivate brand loyalty. They view themselves as a middle-man that facilitates access to AAA games. So naturally, that's how their audience views them too. But that's perilous for Sony, because if that's all they bring to the table, they are expendable.Tell me anon. Are you going to buy a PS6? It's a full digital system, and every single new release is going to be cross-platform with the PS5 for at least four years. It's a mere $1000, and it will let you play games at 1.2x the resolution, with even better framepacing! Are you in?Will anyone be in?
>>747426049>You must be a dick sucking Nintendo fan who lines his house with plushies or we're all doomedYou fags are obnoxious lol. I bought whatever console seemed a good value for the price and that has consistently been what determined a PS2/360/Gameboy level winner. >Will you buy a PS6How would I know? It's not out yet. All the PS5 Pros are sold out by the way. I'm not saying that to defend Sony, I'm saying it to prove that despite all of the online screeching the console is still pushing toward 100 million units. PS3 was supposed to be the end of Playstation, too, just as Wii U was supposed to sink Nintendo. Shit happens. So long as we still get software we'll be fine.
>>747426049>It's a mere $1000Maybe in 2035.
>Moved out of Japan to California >Gave left cucks all the free rein to do as they please with single player games and over budgeting >Bet everything on live service slop>Gave up physical media>Astronomical price hikes May they rot.
>>747421815I hope they get shat on for saying obvious shit everyone's been saying for a decade.
No wonder there is such endless seethe threads ITT about Nintendo and zelda while everywhere i look i see JeeTA defenders. This week has been a blood bath and JeeTA 6 is all they have left
>>747425035uh huh
>>747426550>You fags are obnoxious lol. I bought whatever console seemed a good value for the price and that has consistently been what determined a PS2/360/Gameboy level winner.You're misunderstanding. We're not "all doomed". Sony is doomed. You just explained that you have no qualms about moving to a new platform as soon as the value equation changes. My point is this describes 90% of the modern PlayStation audience. PS5 currently provides arguably the best value for money in gaming. And since that's all it provides, the next Playstation that fails to provide the best value for money is going to collapse the brand.>How would I know? It's not out yet. All the PS5 Pros are sold out by the way. I'm not saying that to defend Sony, I'm saying it to prove that despite all of the online screeching the console is still pushing toward 100 million units.PS5 on track to finish ~5 million behind the PS4. After the big boost PS4 got from devouring the Xbox 360 marketshare, Playstation has settled into a steady decline. We can expect that to continue, and it may accelerate wildly depending on how they handle the next gen.
>>747426769Left of what?
>>747427169And how many studios have they killed this year?
>even game journos are openly getting sick of handholdy cinematic experience “games” This is absolutely apocalyptic for Sony. If Geoff doesn’t rim them at the next goy awards it’s actually all over.
>>747421815People's livelihoods are at stake you fucking piece of shit
>>747421815Elden Ring plays like Dark Souls 1. It got GOTY. These niggers are hypocrites.
>>747427035Left is goofy but right is not even remotely realistic, it's like the water isn't even there.
If even mahvel brand recognition can’t carry a movie game these days they’re actually fucked.Intergoylactic and GoW Laundry are the same exact shit but with middle aged women instead of Wolverine.
>>747427212>Sony is doomed for the same reason they were doomed during PS3>Except they weren't>100 million sales?>pfffffttttAight
>>747427212You act like PS5 being a mere 5 million units behind the PS4 is a bad thing when it's been at least $100-200 dollars more expensive it's entire lifetime.PS5 is a massive success.
What actually makes Wolverine worse than previous Sony first-party titles? There has to be a reason, I don't buy the>it's the same as the previous games but now the spell is suddenly broken and everyone hates it!excuse, it's obviously bullshit.
>>747428128You can't turn off the fart gas. At least the other games turned it off. Or in Ghost of Kino's case it was just a strong wind.
>>747428128It's no different than how Starfield magically made people wake up to Bethesda's awful habits.
>>747428128people are mad at Sony right now so its open season for "gamer cred" to shit on them right now.
>>747424185If you really cared about games then you'd be playing them elsewhere. A ps is only good for sports games, call of duty and gta. The exception is not the rule
>>747427035You're obsessed. /v/ posts about GTA 6 have been largely negative.
>>747421815>IGN: Sony’s downfall has to be studiedThey were doomed ever since they stopped being a japanese company.
>>747428018The second normalfags started making fun of the Sony-template for games is the second they should have reversed course. Instead they doubled down on it and criticized the people who made fun of them.
>>747428128You play as a bottom bitch sniffing fart gas
>>747428251Skyrim has a ton of issues but you'd have to be insane to think it's as bad as Starfield.>>747428260Why would IGN of all reviewers do that though?
>>747428306they literally shutdown every studio that could reverse course, they have nobody left besides the story trannies and bungie
>>747427169More brown people buying ps consoles = more microtransaction money. The first party games don't sell anywhere near what ape hoop or the like does.
>>747428072>You act like PS5 being a mere 5 million units behind the PS4 is a bad thingHaving your market contract instead of grow is generally a very bad thing, yes.
>>747428360this is IGN's hello fellow kids moment where they pretend to be real gamers.
>>747427684Sony kicked Geoff's boyfriend Kojima to the curb, don't expect him to help them.
>>747428260I hate the direction of the switch 2 right now, but you're thinking of the early switch 2 announcements and launch. Tards even tried shilling that shitty sonic racer as an "own" to nintendo.
>>747428128It’s the culmination of years of moviegames>Permanent forced fart trail to guide you>You can enable a second green one>QTE can’t be failed, you success them no matter what button you press>If you don’t press anything they still autocomplete>Can enable autowalk and auto jump>Has audio clues in form of a fucking sonar and Wolverine keeps talking to himself what he should do next>Has white paint paths>They even painted snow to tell you where to go for auto jump>You can’t fall from high placesAnd no, I’m not shitposting, it’s all real
>>747422423i hate kikes more than most people will, given I am Muslim and it's just how i am but i'll grudgingly admit both TLOU1/2 were legendary-tier games. how fucking cope to think otherwise.
>>747421815>PlayStation's future has never looked bleakerThose motherfuckers cheered Sony's path to their current state every step of the way because Sony paid them off.
>>747428296Her leaks were so disappointing
>>747427603How many more years until they are bankrupt bro
>>747428128tolerance for mediocrity has decreased as the floor for bad keeps falling
>>747422220On the one hand, it's a smart move to save a lot of money that never translated into game sales. On the other hand, lol, lmao.
>>747427035Its what Snoys do. Its in their DNA. When Sony's tiny little cock is fucking their ass they immediately point at you and call you "gay". That's is the Snoy brain.And again, I keep telling you motherfuckers over and over again, GTA6 is NOT doing well. IGN is full of insiders. You think they would make an article like this if GTA/PS5 was doing well? LMAO.
>>747421815going almost entirely after one trend of basic action games with progression elements designed for millennial normies was never sustainable and is especially braindead when they have to make these decisions half a decade in advanceEven if they have to do that, throwing out some low budget variety games would at least help retain players. Stuff like Tokyo Jungle did wonders for making the PS3 feel cool and unique
Funny how all of this started happening immediately after they got rid of Yoshida because he didn't agree with Jim Ryan's retarded ideas.
>>747428251Starfield is getting appreciated now as a great RPG due to it's deep gameplay mechanics that filtered people at launch, Wolverine is shit because Insomniac makes mature rated games that panders to babies.
>>747428547>Wolverine does Wolverine thingsWolverine narrates his own adventures and has famously enhanced sences, how would you adapt them to a video game?
>>747428360>Skyrim has a ton of issues but you'd have to be insane to think it's as bad as Starfield.Fallout 4 was in between and most critically, Wolverine and Starfield are both new IPs, not numbered sequels with built in defenders. The people defending Wokeverine the hardest are not fans of prior Insomniac games but Wolverine fans that will buy it because of the IP and nothing else.
>>747428859They already figured it out with Wolverine OriginsOr just make a NinjaGaiden with Wolverine skin
>>747422696*saves Playstation in youre path*heh, nothing personnel
>>747428360Skyrim and Starfield are both equally shitty games, nobody likes bethesda games
I remember in 2017 I said something like>it's bad for xbox to be this weak because sony will get complacentI have been called an xbot and other retarded slurs. Now enjoy your new sony, faggots. I sold my ps4 the same year and never bought another sony product afterwards. I'm glad these problems are no longer mine.
>>747421815>Move HQ to California>Most obvious downturn in history happens as predictedIt's not rocket science, anon. Liberal millenials are conservatives and they don't even know it.
>>747428072That barely covers the CPI inflation.
>>747428713>GTA6 is NOT doing well.You're full retard if you think a game that's already sold 40 million preorders isn't doing well.
Uncharted 2 is my favorite Sony movie game because it never forgets it's still a game
>>747428505lmaosony fans don't care about kojimbo anymore my dudewhatever papa sony does is gospel, geoff will never be friends with kojima ever again
>>747428283>If you really cared about games you'd be playing them somewhere else rather than where they're already available!Eh? >Basketball gun blah blahI don't play those>>747428713No matter what you like to game on, this is the kind of person you shouldn't become lol. 100% a console war faggot.
Don't worry, Hag of War and Reddit jelly cube will save them.
>>747423753Pandering to the lowest common denominator works for every entertainment medium. Just look at the absolute dogshit people are willing to gobble up from the Pokémon franchise. When only 1 in 10 of your customers has standards, you make shit you can sell to the other 9. And it works.
>>747428859I make a cool action game with one liners and don't implement a single thing that involves sniffing shit.
>>747421815Didn't they fire the guy who make Metal Gear too?
>>747422410Things are absolutely getting worse, as evidenced by Wolverine.
Sony pulled Concord too soon.They were too emotional.
>>747423007>We need a new GoW game>>What about his wife?>But she's dead>>Stop being so misogynistic>I guess we can make a godly afterlife...>>Good, also make sure he visibly looks like she's in menopause>But why would male players, the vast majority of our sales, want this?>>Are you questioning me? Maybe we need to take a walk down to HR>Sorry, what else do you want in the game...>>A gelatinous cube name Frank with a PH and the bisexual purple color>Yes dear...What were they thinking?
>>747424185>no Onimusha >no Ace combat>I'm immune to Nintendo hype bullshit but I'll play absolute goyslop like GoY>not interested in the highest production value most impressive highest prestige game that will ever existYou're just another low income retard
>>747421815PS5 has been real shit for exclusives. The future is Nintendo + PC + Android Handheld. I've had a PlayStation since PSX. Not sure I'll get the PS6.
>>747421815I haven't had a console since 360 era, I just bought a ps5 pro (no disc drive) just so I could play gta on release. sony stronk. IGN gunna woke cry themselves to sleep as usual, waa waa everything's bad and you should feel bad. you're wrong and a bad person because you don't support trans rights. sony microsoft and nintendo are going to go bankrupt overnight because tim sweeny released a bad game.
America ruined everything
>>747428610Does the bush match the brows?
>>747421815Sony is going to exit the game industry in the next console generation.
>Intergalactic has a female MC>Yotei has a female MC>God of Wife has a female MC>Wolverine had a female MC prior to the leak>everything else is live service I'm not sexist, I don't seethe at women existing. What the fuck happened to the male main character? We don't get cool or interesting guys anymore.
>>747422410Have you not seen the retarded thing after retarded thing Sony has done the last few years? Like are you such a corpo fanboy you refuse to even see the facts?
>>747428610>I MUST GO OFF TOOOOOOOPIC
>>747430860We have to own the chuds anon. Above all else.Remember. They sank that Joker franchise, that made over a billion fucking dollars, to own the chuds.
>>747430860Game of the Year 2025 had multiple based male characters, Maellefags BTFO forever btw.
>>747431075Death Stranding 2 is the exception though
>>747424185Wow, are you me?
>>747430817shaved
>>747430839Why would Sony exit the hardware market when Xbox is already doing that and Steam box is no cheaper than a PC? They are literally going to MONOPOLIZE the next console generation
>>747430860You didn't like Saros?
>>747428610I'm assuming she's a Satsuki cosplayer?
>>747431268What a waste.
>>747431362Saros wasn't as good as Returnal :(
>>747430457>OnimushaDemo sucked, I sleep>Ace CombatNever played them, not interested>Shitting on YoteiYour loss, it's a fun game>PrestigeRDR2 was so boring, I will never play Rockstar games again. >Low incomeI live quite comfortably on the west coast and enjoy the sea breeze from my window. Life can be based, bros...
>>747421815>He loves the style of narrative single-player adventures that Sony's studios have historically championed.Isn't this exactly what the journalist wanted? Why's he upset?
The game deserves the hate it's getting but I feel most of it is performative. It's like the cattle are pretending to have standards now.
>>747432023Why did they add in Lady Deathstrike, but have her cosplay as Psylocke while holding the gay purple color sword and looking like she's over 50?
>>747432158What does that have to do with what I said? I just refuse to believe that normgroids are suddenly realizing Sony exclusives are garbage after eating them up for so long.
Hypothetically speaking what would be worse? Wolverine with a 77 on metacritic, or OoT remake getting high 80s? I’m talking about worse as in reputation, financials, meme potential etc
When I see people doing legitimate console war posting on /v/, it's kind of like when you see a guy in public wearing JNCOs.It feels like I'm at a museum looking at an exhibit of a sabretooth tiger.Just move on already, you pathetic fucking losers. How the hell are you still doing this crap?
>>747430090wolverine is just as shit as dad of war and all the other walk slop they have made that got cheered on by the same reviewers
>>747432542As a kid I quickly realized how retarded console wars are, I dont know how these retarded motherfuckers do it.
>>747432449I’m sure that the OoT remake will do fine. I’m thinking a score of say, 8.8
>>747421815goodfuck snoythey deserve to lose everything
>>747431182Sam's coolness is nullified by Troy Baker's gayness. It's a wash.
>>747428547>auto walk>auto jumpI'd love to see a playthrough where someone sees how little of the game actually requires player input, complete with a camera watching their controller.
>>747422696i'm sure that when this comes out in 2032 sony will be saved
>>747429465>GTA6 sold 40m alreadyThis is retarded nonsense from literally whos. There has been no official sales data published at all and if GTA6 was selling that crazy Rockstar would be bragging about it to cause normalfag fomo.
>Sony lost so much money in the past 10 years that they can no longer pay journalists to shill for them
>>747431362>indian MCI'd sooner take a female MC
