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, I’ve 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 won’t 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. That’s 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 won’t 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. I’d like everyone to keep that in mind."
This is funny. Bro has the most goated taste and is genuinely one of the most passionate gamers out there, yet the Expedition 33 fanbase slanders every game he brings up.
One of the best things about KAMEN RIDER is that it can basically do anything: In a single episode, you can get a tightly choreographed John Wick-style gunfight, and then ten minutes later, an epic Dragon Ball-flavoured super battle:
1/2
Eventually, even digital data will no longer be owned by individuals on their own initiative. Whenever there is a major change or accident in the world, in a country, in a government, in an idea, in a trend, access to it may suddenly be cut off.
Si PlayStation (leader sur console de salon) annonce la FIN des jeux en physique sur leur console à partir de 2028.
Partez du postulat que c’est la fin des versions physiques sur console de salon tout court. Les éditeurs ne feront pas de versions physique juste pour les beaux yeux d’Xbox (qui vend moins de consoles que PlayStation).
À partir de 2028, lancement (on le suppose) de la prochaine génération de console. On entrera dans une nouvelle ère du jeu vidéo. Et encore Sony laisse un mirage de « répit » avec le code in the box.
Maintenant que l'EVO est terminé (😭) temps de faire un p'tit récap des annonces !
On commence avec Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising, qui verra l'arrivée de Id (l'antagoniste principal de Relink) le 17 Septembre, en même temps qu'un gros patch d'équilibrage ET la version Switch 2
