Holy shit Sony is so greedy

It's not too surprising since Microsoft shot themselves in the foot this gen, essentially giving Sony no competition, so without that incentive, they get greedy and more embolden to do shitty things to make more profit since they know they have most core gamers in their palms and know that they will likely buy from them anyways.

>They point to inflation as well as the ballooning cost to develop triple-A games as justification
And I point to the sales numbers. Selling 1 million isn't a big deal anymore like it was 20 years ago. Now a "poor" selling AAA games sells like 5 million. The higher your volume the thinner your margins can be. This is revenue chasing. Nothing more.

Well, at the end of the day Nintendo did get away with increasing their handheld games prices to 60 bucks by selling them as "console grade titles" on a "hybrid console"
I really hope they won't increase prices any further. 70 bucks/euros is a lot in those countries, but in Mexico official games can get as high as 90 bucks on release and Nintendo rarely gets price drops here

What's even the point? Sony's games all disappear into the bargain bin like three months after release.

For The Sheckles

My friend nibel from pedoera :-)

Still posting the MHW sales graphs? :-)

See you soon on pedoera :-)

How come there's no way to streamline development costs these days? Why is it that games built on the same engine by the same team still take up to 8 years to develop?
I understand Nintendo since they barely got to HD development and they use their own engines for everything, but Sony and MS have had studios making HD games since 2004 at the earliest, even fucking Squeenix takes over than a de ade to get games out

that's fine not really but you know i already never buy a game the same quarter it's released. wait a year and you nearly always get 75% off.

idc still buying ps5 lmao

Then I, Sir McSwaggingthan, shall proclaim that I'll be buying my console and games 3 years later second hand for less than 75% of the original price.

>the ballooning cost to develop triple-A games
So please explain why AAA games have never been worse than they are now and are literally not worth $20 on average.
There's nothing worth paying for.

yeah but nintendo.... uhh....
it's okay when sony does it

>tfw have to share vidya with dad

Buying singleplayer games at launch is almost as retarded as buying consoles at launch

this! i seriously can´t believe people like this class SSS retard think it´s worth it.
price gauging in games was nothing but greed, added to that the monthly revenue trough their subs, sony is getting richer and richer, becoming the next apple while their zealots praise them.
I pray to Cthullu that sony will fall on their ass this gen. Microsoft can burn in hell for establishing the game pass shit but at least they make a step into consumerfriendly while sony does the opposite full throttle.

50 of those 70 hours is filler and cgi cutscenes

As long as it's not $60 game + $20 expansion pass.

Gotta thank Microsoft for Game Pass. Otherwise the games would be even more expensive.

They probably knew they'd cause so much backlash with that and lose an entire generation ahead of time.

It's basically polish to graphics, animation, etc. that are the primary cause for increasing production costs. It's not the production of the actual gameplay that is chewing up all the money in game development. It's not even the marketing like so often claimed. It's just making the game look pretty that is.

Now it'll be $70+$30, enjoy!

have you tried not being underaged?

wonder if they will still drop prices like they currently do. A little patience and you can always get game 50% off or more.

>Nintendo did get away
Those handheld games had a definite jump in quality from the 3DS so it's not an issue. PS4 to PS5 games though? The jump is so minuscule it doesn't seem like a jump at all.

I don't know much about designing. When I do designs I do take twice as much time as my drawing board phase just to make things look pretty, but when you do the same formula over and over you get to a point where you know what to do, why is it that designers still take so much time then?
Is it because of the autism from game directors?

>80€ + 20€

Looks like communism doesnt come cheap California.

>Those handheld games had a definite jump in quality from the 3DS so it's not an issue.
You could claim that, yeah, but then again Pokemon SwSh doesn't feel like a big jump, considering fucking LGPE looks way better.
At least Nintendo has good relations with indie devs and their 20 bucks games still get released on Switch with discounts sometimes

imagine actually giving them $70 for some corny ass movie game full of nothing but motion capture acting and books of dialogue. you faggots are pathetic.

because most of the talents left AAA development for good. Another problem are people that are currently in game dev AAA are incompetent fucks mostly. even if you have 1-3 masters of their trade, the rest of the team pulls them down. last but not least, the publishers. they are only looking for one thing, money, they don´t care for quality, innovation or niche games, they care for inclusion, representation & visuals, surface level shit. when your product needs depth you´re not gonna find anything in AAA development.
>but muh nintendo
fuck off, they are irrelevant unless you´re a kid or a manchild.
>muh japanese market
japs are the mobile gaming nation, they stopped to care about home entertainment.

Name a single snoy exclusive that has taken more than 20 hours to beat in the last 20 years. I'm waiting.

lmao cope snoygroid

For those Zig Forums Retards who don’t Understand what Inflation Means

A 60$ Game in 2007 would Worth 76.40$ In 2020, and a 50$ PS1 Game in 1996 would Cost 83$ In 2020

Hell Fucking N64 60$ Games back then would literally cost 99$ TODAY

If you wanna blame anyone, Blame the Jews and The FED instead

>but then again
But then again that's just one game out of how many handheld franchises again? That's why I said it's not an issue. Not to mention only SwSh had backlash, not their nth Kanto remake.

For games like Miles Morales, won't 80% of the game's potential length just be collecting jewels and riddler trophies?

Meanwhile on sóytendo, games are being sold for $80 but obviously Zig Forumsintendogaf doesn't see a problem with it
