Thread 723620535

the video has been solved for years
but you ask developers to make the game and they recoil in fear

I mean he's right though he still manages to sound like a moron while being right.

>size and scale and scope
I love games that simulate huge battles that actually feel good to play. There are very few that do this.
I had way more fun with viking, battle for asgard than any recent cinematic over the shoulder 10 hour tutorial """game""" with a shallow story that was still up it's own ass

People have been saying graphics aeen't everything since the super nintendo fucking figure it out already

>>723620721
That's because he's just repeating what he's seen other people say in the hopes it will make them like him

>gamers are desensitized to beautiful graphics
no I'm desensitized to shitty propaganda games bundled with anti consumer DRM that cost $100.
these retards could make so much money by making fun games with big tittie girls but they would rather listen to purple haired HR women on game design.

Hypocrite

Look at all the trannies seething at the new pokemon game, you can't put that genie back in the bottle

I just cannot finish God of War 1. It's like it repels me from it. Its the weirdest thing. I've finished 2, 3, and the two PSP games but I just end up "taking a break" from 1, and then years go by, "might as well start over", and then I "take a break"...

PROTIP: making an empty map with random places to fill the checklist and achievements is not a game with "scale"

>>723620535 (OP)
Sony had a bunch of A/AA studios that they closed so they could make the same exact game for 10 years

fire everyone at Sony, except for the guy that got the Genshin exclusivity

>>723620535 (OP)
they're complaining about graphics because THRE'S NOTHING ELSE TO LIKE ABOUT THE FUCKING GAME
STOP MAKING SHIT GAMES

They need to return to the lo-fi development tools of the 2000s, so games won't need 5-8 years of fucking development time anymore. God of War I-III + the spin-offs were develop over the course of like 7 years. Why can't we have that kind of turn-around anymore? The Mass Effect trilogy released over the course of five years! Andromeda alone took five years, and the next one is still like 3 years away.

>How can we secure 5x more funding from ESG grants?
>By splitting the studio into 5 teams, each working on a separate project, to make less ambitious games at faster pace and profit more!

Imagine all the cool fun games if devs just limited themselves to PS2 graphics.

>>723623469
They'd still be grossly incompetent faggots who hate videogames.

Does Ragnarok even have good gameplay? That's the thing with these Sony movie games, the story tends to be bad on top of the gameplay being incredibly simplistic. I could just play Nioh 2 again.

>>723623628
It's more of the same but slightly refined

How confused do investors get seeing 1 man make a game worth 10 million and then see their staff of 1000 make a game only worth 200 million.

>>723622893
Because devs don't bother doing pre-production and sticking to what they made then, they keep adding features after the art asset team starts adding to the project.

>>723623848
>Because devs don't bother doing pre-production
Well, except for Nintendo. That's half the reason they've been able to keep dev time to about 3 years

>>723620535 (OP)
he put it in a completely retarded way, but he's not wrong

AA was the lifeblood of the 90's and early 00's, it's what kept the hobby going and growing, EVERYONE has a kinda-mid game that they played when they were younger that they love and remember fondly despite being a 7/10 at best, or a game that had great ideas but a tiny budget that shows

it's actually incredibly how much 2006-2008 fucked up the entire tech industry, with the PS3 and 360 starting the enshitification of games and the constant chase for more profit, and the iphone causing the rise of social media by giving every fucking normie portable and dumbed down access to the internet

still can't believe they got rid of japan studio

>>723620535 (OP)
Sony is just lost forever. No exclusives, all-in on live service slop and the rest are all woke

>>723621217
Tendies deserve to be subjected to low effort slop, truly the goodest of goys.

>>723620535 (OP)
They can't do that. What sells these blockbusters is precisely the fact that they are blockbusters.
You're not going to spend $150 million marketing a low-poly game with unfiltered textures trying to show how good the pure gameplay is (which can only be effectively tested by playing). You spend $150 million on marketing by putting a 3D simulacrum of Keany Reeves or whoever presenting the product to normalfags so they say, "Wow! I thought it was the real actor for a moment!"

We must be better Devs. We must diversify, like my wife does with her boyfriends.

>gamers are desentisized to beautiful graphics
lol maybe if they had beautiful graphics, instead of just chasing real life
I find cartoony, simplistic and stylized graphics a dozen times more appealing than the average over the shoulder cinema slop

>>723620535 (OP)
Don't make shitty games and the problem will solve itself, simple as.

>>723620535 (OP)
>nearly every game uses ue now
>so they all have the same graphics
No shit graphics don't matter anymore, no one wants to be the company making another Crysis either so they can kill their own sales by making a game only a tiny fraction of the market can even run.

Shareholder gaming, baby. Fuck progress, make that $.

>let's make AA games but still charge full price

>let's release AAA sized updated every year to our free games

>AAA studios
>diversify into "indie" games

Do they not know what words mean? Aren't they all supposed to have gone to college?

>>723631821
They probably mean budget wise. Where they have a small team of maybe 10 people making a game on a small budget. Except that in the modern era that probably means most of the work will be done by AI.

How does a mainstream AAA studio make an independent-from-mainstream-AAA-game (more commonly referred to as indie)

>>723620535 (OP)

>size
>scale

Thanks for the laugh, this was really funny

>>723632115
It doesn't work like that. You cannot grab 10 AAA randos trained to make AAA and who are used to working with AAA tools and give them 10 dollars and a bar of chewing gum and expect them to make an indie game as an indie game company would.

>>723632342
We're having indie games made in UE now, so I'm not really sure what the difference would be when those indie devs have access to the same AAA tools as the devs making AAA UE games.
