Genshin Impact is going EOS on PS4

Well yeah, why would they update a dead game on a dead platform? Of the 3 people who play Genshin Impact, the 1 guy who plays via PS4 can just get over it.

they're increasing the graphics and it already ran like this on ps4

So uhhh about that Switch port...

Welp, there goes 60% of Sony's earnings.

In my country they are offering 100 bucks off a ps5 if you bring a working ps4 and 200 for a ps4 pro.

>>717399350
how does a game designed for phone run like this on a home console?

>>717400063
ps4 is like 13 years old

>>717399350

>>717399935
definitely not coming now

>>717400063
It's the power of PS5 Pro, baby!

>>717399350
Why would they do that so close to the game's natural EOS, isnt there only like 1 or 2 regions left ?

get gacha'd

>>717400106
the newest high end iphones are still less powerful than it, if the recent AAA game ports are anything to go by

>>717400160
That was downright diabolical. People were more than willing to whale for her.

>>717400149
This game won't EOS for many years.

>>717398996 (OP)
They're bumping up the system requirements and dropping support for PS4 and potato phones/tablets/computers.

There goes the Southeast Asian playerbase

>>717399350
not true, It runs at completely playable 30 FPS but the loading times are rough. Was my main plattform for a few months and I had no issues other than waiting forever.

>>717399935
Maybe Switch 2?

>>717400149
>isnt there only like 1 or 2 regions left ?
OH NO NO NO NO NO

>>717400465
>It runs at completely playable 30 FPS
lmao

>PS4 couldn't handle Genshin's grafix
wait, seriously? They're not even graphically intensive. what the fuck?

>>717400740
Ass optimization, maybe?
The new recommended specs still seem low, both for Android and PC >>717400323

>>717400740
Probably can't handle the quantity of models rather than their quality

>>717399350
this is my laptop

I've always found it strange how the Chinese are so incompetent at programming for consoles.
Ports like Titanfall 1 on Xbox 360 and Doom on Switch are things they could never even come close to achieving.

>>717400191
>less powerful
Yeah but it's about memory/storage speeds too

>>717398996 (OP)
Want it running at 30 fps on this garbage, lol? Even smartphones could run it at 60

poorfag dipshits told me SSDs don't matter and now look. fucking 12 year old console can't run a 5 year old game.

>>717400160
I think the gacha side of Crunchy will never fully recover from this PR-wise. Every time there's a news about crunchy and something even only tangentially related to gacha, Priconne's fate is brought up.

>>717402715
Tldr me

>>717400842
The PS4 has a GT 750 equivalent GPU...

No wonder the macaco is having another sperg meltie everywhere.
Sony just lost 50% of their income.

>>717402825
NTA but the game was actually decently alive and profitable but got taken down anyway. Apparently there was some monitization changes but not as bad as other Crynch gachas. there are rumours it was cygames forcing them to pull the plug because of how stupidly Crynch handled those other games and not wanting to associate with them more.

>>717402912
It's not even strictly about GPU that's part of it but genshin has the largest world in conventional gaming. Ps4 storage is too small and slow, ram too slow, processor too slow to deal with all the data

The game ran like ass on ps4 when it came out

isn't genshin always on top 10 sales on PSN? ps4 revenue will tank

>title change was because of the visual overhaul
I kneel dawei

>>717400160
i need this explained.
crunchy as in crunchyroll???
inform me

>>717402825
Can't really tl:dr for you to understand the context:
>Crunchy releases the global version of Princess Connect, a Cygames game
>2 years later in march, the game is doing ok, we're like 2 months away from a unit everyone will whale for, given the pace she'll release May 2nd
>In late march, they release a massive patch with all the upcoming content translated as usual
>The Clan Battle (basically a guild war) happens as usual
>The 30th of march, the last day of Clan Battle and birthday of the main female character they announce that the game will close in a month (on May 1st)
>Everyone is confused, including the translators
>The day before the announcement Crunchy had the fucking gall to make an article about learning to give up on your favorite gacha when they close
>Community is extremely angry and brings up every single bad shit Crunchy ever did to the extend that Crunchy edited multiple of their pages to hide all of that shit under the rug
>Several years later people always bring this up when Crunchy is mentioned

As for the reason why they closed it, people are split on two possibilities:
- Crunchy decided to completely drop PriConne because they released Street Fighter Duel, a gacha they edited the rates of behind the back of the players, made free units gacha ones and gacha units require paid currency and ended up making way more money than Priconne
- Cygames saw how they were handling the Street Fighter gacha by hiding rates edits and decided to stop their contract with Crunchy because they didn't want to see the same shit happen with their game

I think it's highly likely that it's the first option, they decided to not renew their licencing contract with Cygames when they saw how much money they could milk from the Street Fighter fans compared to Priconne. Funny thing is, now, two years later, this Street Fighter gacha is now making less than Priconne did when it was 2 years old.

>a gacha they edited the rates of behind the back of the players, made free units gacha ones and gacha units require paid currency and ended up making way more money than Priconne
How the FUCK are they not sued over that?
God damn.

>>717400625
They just pulled a new region out of their asses just to stretch things an extra year

-1 game

>>717403927
Is this Crunchy the same entity as Crunchyroll?

>>717399350
>they're increasing the graphics
NPCs never walk
Shadows never follow light sources
Entire nations are one city
Cities are four houses
Crafting is moving icons of a menu

>>717400063
GI is designed for High-end phones. The new specs are 2M of Antutu points and 12 GB of ram. That phones are most expensive that the playstation itself.

>>717404154
Because gacha companies are the richest mf in the world and no one can sue them over it and ever be on top except for a government with an agenda like with nexus. Even then they it's just a slap on the wrist compared to the money they make spanking gacha fags by constantly manipulating them.

>>717404740
at least play the game

>>717404613
Yes, the exact same. Not too surprising to see a company that started as a pirate website that was making money by filling free fansubs they didn't do with ads is scummy as fuck.

lemme guess, this is on default HDD
