With consoles now doing double duty as game servers for mobile devices shouldn't they also run hybrid / mobile games natively

Software follows hardware & vice versa so if they see fit to let people use multiple portals from the same console I'm sure they will make games to take advantage of it.
They don't have to make expensive new games with high risk to fail (Concord says hi!), just remaster old classic MP games -> high ROI, minimal risk.

The market has clearly shown that people crave old classic games (Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Silent Hill etc.)

I don't understand why remasters/remakes should only be made for SP games, but not for MP ones. Double standards much?

MP games offer higher profitability (constant revenue stream), cosmetic microtransactions, more engagement and Sony says they want successful GaaS games.

So I'm offering a proposal that won't cost very much and it could potentially even fund expensive PS5-only SP projects = win-win situation.

I'm flabbergasted Hermen Hulst doesn't get it. He's as bad as Phil Spencer in a way.

Just an example to prove my point:



Splitscreen is dead, but maybe it's time to revive it with Portal...

What does Hermen Hulst have to do with any of this? Do you think 1 person just snaps their fingers & say " Hey I'm in charge now go make this type of game & release it in 6 months" ?

Concord was his pet project and he wasted 400 million $$$ on it for nothing.

Do you realize how much cheaper it would be to remaster UC2-3 MP and KZ2-3 MP? If not, I'm afraid I cannot help you.
 
Concord was not his pet project it was presented to him
They could have remastered Uncharted - Killzone MP with less than 1 million and keep the rest 399 million in the bank.

I'm surprised you still don't realize it... Sony squanders money on failed MP projects that NOBODY wants to play!

The hell does this have to do with using the console as a server?

Do you have Alzheimer or what?

Sony needs a Splatoon-like game for the use case you're proposing (PS5 streaming server + Portal client) and it's called Uncharted 3 Multiplayer:




Sony definitely does NOT need new, expensive, wokey MP games like Concord!

Understood?

Why do you have to defend Sony's Phil Spencer?



He wasted 400 million bucks down the drain.

Sony wants GaaS, right? I'm proposing a cheaper solution (MP remasters, not new and unproven/risky MP projects) that Hermen Hulst doesn't even consider.

Understood or nah?

I'm not defending him I'm questioning where & why you all was giving marching orders to randomly spam his name in threads topics that don't have anything to do with him.

The fact that you're doing exactly what I was talking about in a thread a month ago proves it's some silly tactic that you all was programmed to live by until you're told to do something else.

Topher Topher wtf can we possibly do against the O onQ123 threat?
 
Dude, what the hell are you talking about?
I was saying since game consoles are doing double duty as a home console & a server for mobile devices now they should also have hybrid mobile games that run on your console.


People tried to derail the thread saying consoles are not being used as servers but they was proven wrong & now we have the PlayStation Portal using the PlayStation 5 as a server.

The enitre point of mobile gaming is to be mobile...
