So my streams are now free4all, both ways ๐ฅณ No extras, just purely laid back live streams. Even no schedule, but if scheduled ๐ There will be an update here or on dedicated platforms ๐
I never like to mess with politics, money, religion or feelings, but it's weird sometimes how what I share conflicts with one or the other sometimes. At least I never forgot the magic, nowadays it seems itโs 2 easy 2 forget just that after a time for many #NeverFade#StayTrue
Wtf happened to game developers and their creativity and unafraid approaches that gave us Tetris, Mario 64, Half-Life and GTA 3? Now all 'new' shit is remakes and pay-to-play bullshit of ones already great. They wouldn't worry about the $ again if they took the leap of faith ๐ค๐
Im seriously only feel safe at valve nowadays and wondering just going Xbox next gen if I need a console๐ 2 much shit beeing done that ainโt 4 the players no more๐ Doubt it will end well.. Hope Iโm wrong, but the evidence speaks for itself lol ๐คฌ๐ฅ๐ซฃ
PlayStation in 2026:
- End Destiny
- End physical gaming forever
- End porting exclusives to PC
- Completely lose Hideo Kojima
- Attempt to cancel Kojima's next Metal Gear franchise
- Kojima cuts ties entirely and goes to XBOX
- Force your single-player studios to make live service games
- Concord happens
- Proceed to cancel most of them, losing years of development time and billions of dollars
- Buy Bluepoint and have them make a live-service rather than remakes
- Close Bluepoint down before they release any games
- Start selling vertical stands separately rather than have them come with the console
- Console prices at an all-time high
Genuinely... what is going on at Sony. disaster after disaster, huge L after L. They were my favorite gaming company throughout the PS4 generation but genuinely, how do you lose EVERYONE this fast? Meanwhile, XBOX is taking full advantage of this and priming a major comeback next generation. A literal generational fumble happening at Sony.
Same here, it will for me go down as one of the great jaw dropping scenery and full rpg experiences in a long time๐ฅณ๐ Almost 2 much 2 do in the game, and I just clocked 130 hours and have not cleaned up or taken big leaps outside hernand yet either๐ By playing it I hope I share my gift of thanks to the dev team for this gem๐โ๏ธ๐๐ฏ๐ฅ
Iโm so hyped for this with a controller setup๐ฅณ๐๐๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ I think it has potential on console, I only hope for a good while. Much 2 do in the game 2๐โ๏ธ
@TheGameVerse All as always and far as I can or it feel ok, but Iโm real curious where some are going or direction gaming will take going forward with so much happening๐ Maybe safest platform is PC idk ๐คทโโ๏ธ
In Death Stranding Hideo Kojima shows his love for physical media through the character Heartman, who has a massive collection of Blu-rays, CDs and vinyls that he can watch and enjoy while being offline.
Hideo Kojima on the end of physical disc production for video games:
"Since production is ending in 2028, this is about video games, but I grew up with physical media, so I find it really sad. Currently, Iโve been buying up a lot of Blu-rays, such as various movies, and CDs too.
The situation is different for games, as they are downloaded to the hard drive, that means the game data remains on your own hardware. However, if things shift to streaming in the future, that wonโt be the case anymore.
With streaming subscription services, like Netflix or Amazon, there is a server somewhere, and you essentially just have the right to turn the tap, and when you do, the data flows out. Thatโs how movies work on these platforms, right? You don't download the data, you access it directly through a subscription. And the consequence of that is that you don't actually possess the data yourself.
There are companies that own these servers and let you 'turn the tap' for a monthly fee. However, with nations, politics and various ways of thinking, one naturally has to consider the possibility that if there is a change, the data inside will stop being distributed. And if that happens you wonโt be able to watch or play the movies and games you like.
That is what is frightening.
So, what is happening to video games in 2028, might also happen to movies. Iโd like everyone to keep that in mind."
Hideo Kojima comments on the end of physical game production today in Italy:
"Today you can still download data. But at one point games will make into streaming services like Amazon or Netflix and companies will decide if you can play a game or not [...] At this point I won't have anything of my own [...] the data will be somewhere in a company and I will have the right to access it or not depending on how much this data tap is opened.
The fact that the initial data is not in my possession but is somewhere held by a private company means that I will always have that risk that for any reason, whether commercial or political, the company could prevent access to that data and therefore I will no longer be able to see that film, I will no longer be able to play that game.
This is what's happening next for the world of video games and I fear it will also happen for cinema."
So corpo is the final boss and challenge always, but we keep shining ghosts, and thatโs enough for me at least, I will see you on the grid๐ฅณ๐ค๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๐ฏ
