Alti e bassi diciamo, ad esser buoni?

Cioè a parte le prime due (a mio parere grandi sorprese in positivo, non so quanti si aspettassero che Insomniac crescesse così dopo Repippance) il resto 'nsomma...

Questi acquisiscono e poi chiudono, mandando a casa un casino di sviluppatori (cosa fatta anche da altre super big)....
Stanno cannadando le strategie da un pò di tempo a questa parte, nonostante cmq le vendite buone della console, è un discorso un pò più amplio.
Poi ste dannate microtransazioni stanno anche rovinando il mercato, parliamo di tutto il mercato, non solo sony, MS ecc.
C'è da chiedersi quale sarà a sto punto il futuro delle console fisiche

Computer brandizzati. Come adesso ma schiaffando sopra terzi il bollino e senza il lettore, che tanto pure sui computer chi lo mette più

Bah
Spiace per i dev, e temo per i miei amati media molecule.

Sony Group Corp. no longer plans to release its big PlayStation 5 games on PC, a major shift in strategy that sees the video-game maker returning to console exclusivity after six years of flirting with multi-platform releases, according to people familiar with the company's plans.

Online games such as Marathon and Marvel Tokon will still be released across multiple platforms, but single-player titles such as last year's samurai hit Ghost of Yotei and the upcoming action game Saros will remain exclusive to PlayStation 5, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they weren't authorized to talk publicly about the company's strategy.

The people cautioned that things could change in the future due to the unpredictable nature of the video-game industry and that Sony's plans are constantly shifting. But in recent weeks PlayStation scrapped plans to bring Ghost of Yotei and other internally developed games to PC. Two games made by external developers but published by PlayStation, Death Stranding 2 and the upcoming Kena: Scars of Kosmora, are still planned for release on PC this year.

A spokesperson for PlayStation declined to comment.

There are likely a few reasons behind this shift. One is that several recent PlayStation games have not sold well on PC. A faction within PlayStation has also expressed concern that releasing their games on PC risks damaging the console's brand and will hurt sales of the PlayStation 5 and its successors, according to the people familiar with Sony's inner workings.

Questa non me l'aspettavo, avevo da tempo/spesso profetizzato il contrario.

[Bluforce]

Contenti loro.

Io non ho comprato un loro gioco su PC, quindi magari è colpa mia.

Chiedo scusa a tutti

Lo stesso articolo dice "forse perché se li sono dati sugli stinchi", ma se solo scorso mese era "Ok all according to keikaku"?

Partito il dramma colletivo, niente era according to keikaku e doveva uscire al day 1 perché avesse senso.

Il che a quanto pare non vale per i titoli Xbox escono contemporaneamente PC con l'autentico riscontro di nessuno, né per quelli arrivano su Ps5 non al day 1, almeno fino al prossimo episodio dove pure quelle cifre erano brutte ma non ce lo dicevano per non impressionarci

Questo dovrebbe essere il profilo ufficiale Twitter/X del nuovo team Playstation Studios guidato da un ex produttore di Call of Duty, si chiama Dark Outlaw Games.

E dopo un annetto ci saluta pure lui.

At the very least, we here at MP1st can confirm that East-Asian mythologies will be part of it, as we've heard that elements from Chinese and Japanese mythologies will be part of a new entry in the series. Having said that, game development is a fickle thing, and as such, things are always subject to change, though we expect those to be present in the final version of the title.

Tra l'altro pare l'annuncio non sia molto lontano.
