I wouldn't be using Japan as an example of a development community that has done ANYTHING right this gen.

I would, go look at how many western studios have been shut this gen and compare it to how many Japanese publishers have been shut this gen. I think that's very telling that something bad is going on. It's easy to ignore that when you're looking at CoD selling 8m copies in a day or GTA doing the same. But it's pretty nasty when you start getting down into the dirty stuff.

They hurt more than they help, and avenues of trying games out before you buy are more plentiful this gen than they ever have been. Games routinely have demos, you have Sony even experimenting with game rentals through their PS+ service.

None of that is going to somehow end if someone can't sell their used game.

Time will only tell. I'm certainly of the mindset that this is going to hurt the industry if everyone does it. They're playing a dangerous game and taking their consumers for granted.

Just because a studio doesn't shut down doesn't mean the studio hasn't done significant restructuring.

Japan's gaming industry is in shambles right now.

Never hurt Steam.

People will have a fit about this stuff and then it will be quickly forgotten, publishers however will be able have more flexibility on pricing and exposure to risky games because they're not losing money hand over fist.

There was a tweet that said "PS4 reveal" that was since deleted... who knows if he just made a flub or if he leaked it on accident. :/

Yes.

OT, how come every time I am quoted, the 3 in my name disappears? So weird....every single time

[AmanoBuff]

Persona 5. Believe!

As much as I look forward to this, I have a hard time believing they will announce it though a western venue and not on a main event. My guesses are E3 or TGS (most likely).

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Guys just accept it and come into the Gloom Club:

- PS4 will have DRM following MS but not to the same extent.


Search your hearts. You know it to be true.

If the PS4 is going to have DRM, then fuck it, make it like MS's DRM.

The only redeeming factor is that you can install games onto your system. If they are going to have DRM that prevents all the same things, but doesn't allow you to install games, then that will suck.

 

[zeopower6]

It's not really a conference. It's a 30 minute "pre-E3 kickoff" with some trailers by GameTrailers.TV.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Don't do this to yourself.

Pretty much. There isn't enough hype for this to be P5. There's no way that it would just be randomly mentioned a few hours before GTTV if it were coming.

 

[kenji_sama]

I think Sony will reveal PSN games, PS4 F2P games prior to E3 and save all big titles for the conference

 

[Stark]

Wouldn't that be announced in Japan first anyway?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Wouldn't that be announced in Japan first anyway?

I'd think so. Persona has become Atlus' biggest series in Japan (although in the west as well). TGS seems like a perfect place.

 

[Chamber]

Whatever it is, I'm excited. Let's take a break from DRM bullshit and talk about games.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Guess I'll watch GTTV tonight. Might as well.

 

[bigboss370]

well, it seems like its going to be a horror game. Involving zombies.

Only TV goes up on GT some hours after the show aired.

Ahh if it's R.I.P.D. then I don't really care.
