State of Play March 2022 Recap

Thats probably the best and worst thing about PlayStation over xbox, we have a huge player base but almost everyone wants something different. But because of the two or three genres the young crowd is focused on the development for games has been pushed towards filling whats trending to them. Just like Square used to be on top of the Japan gaming but over the years have tried to please the west more on playstaion and xbox doing things they don’t really have a great deal of experience in and the western studios have taken years to get it somewhat right. But looking at all of their flops in recent yrs doing things outside of their rpg area, they have been forced like many to remake or update older ips to fit the bill and are to far apart with their teams to work at the standards of modern graphics. But I believe we are getting all of them at some point twisted metal was teased in 2019 and someone told me bluepoint was doing it. Sly cooper has a remake coming this yr. I wouldn’t be surprised at a new infamous sometime in the future, I doubt they can get it within the next yr or two with what they have coming already though.

They been talking a long while now of updating it, rumors started in late 2018 and now we are one quarter into 22 so I would say they change it around a bit and might offer a another service but they are trying to figure out what to do with now and plus subs that are current and how to phase them out without ticking them off and not losing money at the same time. Ps now has tons more games than xbox and most are better but they don’t change it up any for it to be worth while to a customer because by the time they do, you probably already own the game if it was good. And where xbox beats them is giving a new release once a month if they can, which Sony can’t afford to do. Ps plus really isn’t anything more than them getting their money back for hosting, the games they give most months don’t really matter to most and the store discounts that are usually any good are years late to the party. So its really all about online games which like myself don’t much care for because you need it to be popular to have a good population of players, if its dead and you need 5 players well you just wasted your money if you can’t find enough. And then there’s some people just aren’t fun to play with and that is why alot play a game to get away from people. So all really Sony could bring to the table is a catalog of retro games which Im sure they don’t or can’t get a ton of them so its probably not something your going to want to pay a premium for and waste your bandwith for the month on, which is why ps now fails.
