PS4 Revealed

[the dark side]

i beg to differ bridge.

look at EA or Activision, the same game, over and over, rushed out, full of bugs, baseline playable due to all the glitches, only gets a good review because the publisher paid for it, 500 tons of DLC at 8 pounds a pack, despite the fact all the content is on disk and has technically already been purchased...what is that if its not greed?

also. designing a game isn't difficult,. ive "designed" several, its programming them thats the swine, and seeing as most of todays developers are too damn lazy to do anything but rush out a quick and nasty clone of a certain massive selling warfare franchise, your design often gets thrown out the window for something that would be easier for there lazy designers to programme and cheaper for them to make, so the publisher can fleece more money from the punters via Overpriced map pack DLC, wich is actually just a code to unlock multiplayer maps, already on disk, based around 5 or 6 rooms of an SP level, again, greed.

sorry bridge, ive HAD real life dealings with games publishers, trying to get them to "lease" an IP, with no results, as it "wouldnt appeal to american console players" (GENUINE publisher reaction from a canadian company whos name starts with U!) despite the lease clearly saying the IP has to be PC exclusive owing to console controllers not having enough controll functions. its just they look at the sales of Black Ops and think "MMS genre, Bias to Consoles=sales record= massive profits for minimal effort" without stopping to think about the fact the Console MMS genre is oversaturated to the point of collapse.

I have seen with my own eyes just how greedy they are, if it isnt going to give them at least 2 billion bucks in profit, they dont want to know. you dont need 2 billion bucks in profit. thats just greed. 40,000,000 is more than enough, the average AAA game costs only 8-10 million bucks to make... thats still a good 30 million bucks profit! and you can get that with only 1 million steam sales at $40 a copy!. even an indie 2d platformer can overtake that number!

so i am afraid i have to agree to disagree on that one.
