@sparent180: They can certainly wait quite longer, but by the time Pro coming out, 3rd-party companies may have already moved on. Because current 3rd-party games are already pushing Switch to its breaking limit, if nothing is done to improve, devs cannot port more games into it. Therefore, stronger hardwares = more attention from 3rd parties = more games = more players joining in = more hardwares get sold. PS4 released in 2013 and 3 years later PS4 Pro version appeared, meanwhile Switch released in 2017, that means it about to reach year 4, thus it is reasonable enough to think of releasing Pro right now, and don't forget that Switch is way underpowered when compared to base PS4 and XONE, being able to hold this long is already a miracle, but that won't stay for any much longer.
@kstaggs87:I disagree, the cinema is here to stay as it is already a tradition for more than a decade. While it may not be as popular as before the pandemic, it is still a great place for people sharing their experience together whether it is group of friends, couple and family. You can set up your own movie experience at home, but again most don't bother and just choose cinema instead, and people can go hang out somewhere else after the session too. And yes, people still prefer big *ss cinema screen with roaring sound system, the Blade Runner 2049 experience at the time was bone-chilling and magical, or Tenet literally gave the whole room an earthquake during Boeing scene, and I doubt a home setup could replicate that, not when we are talking budget build for just 1000$ only.
Indeed, the rude b*stards, spoilers and kids are annoying, but that is human nature + lack of education, discipline, not a cinema at fault. And you can always go for near end slots, it can be vacant like owning the cinema to yourself.
And who said that you can watch at home in peace, don't forget possible intrusive ads, If everything were going to be digital, obviously you would expect higher piracy rate as everyone could capture your monitor/TV screen nowsaday. And you should know that for mega budget & ambitious movies to continue to be made, and to make up for the loss due to piracy, obviously the streaming platforms have to increase subscription price sooner or later (which will be difficult to do), or like I said - showing ads, otherwise no big budget movies no more. And of course not to mention other elements that can bother you - the environment lightings, your neighbors, non-relatives sharing the room.
And the tickets price totally depend on the owner of cinema, in my country, the CGV ones pricing are reasonable enough, literally a fraction of standard salary in a month, and it is not like you're going to watch everything released within that month as well. Not to mention discounts from collaborating with other services such as apps, e-wallet, etc. So if company like AMC is losing customers, probably not because of pandemic, but because of their bad services & decisions.
Last but very important as well, the cinema can be the only place for you to access + support some exclusive contents legally from other countries, in terms of first premiere. For example, Japanese/anime movies, literally many years ago we couldn't do anything but resort to piracy in my country, now I am glad we can both enjoy and contribute to creators at the same time, like Violet Evergarden Movie 2 this week. Of course streaming platforms can have them later, still possible region lock -> resort to VPN, which is another subscription on the top of your subscription.
@bdrtfm: It was not about the waiting, it was about the reveals during the waiting that got people furiating - live service announce, cosmetic charges, rumored battle royale and so on. All they have been wanting is a Halo with great story, fun multiplayer like classic titles, not another Destiny clone to grind and milk the hell out of players. Plus live service also means that the story was never finished, nor the core gameplay were thoroughly balanced. In addition, past failure of Battlefield 5, Anthem, Fallout 76, etc. and most recent Marvel Avengers have made gamers losing faith in this kind of system more and more, even Genshin Impact are getting backlashes and dropping players as well. Plus expecting gamers to stick to it for 10 years? That's totally unreal. After all, 343i have done a very few that really impress fans, mostly negative otherwise - Halo 4 was controversial, 5 Guardians lackluster and mediocre as you said, PC ports quality are like stock market, up and down, then the Infinite backlashes. They have been given a lot of time to improve (8 years compared to Bungie 10 years), and now they still say they are learning, improving, asking fans to wait and wait more. Like how is that going to gain everyone trusts?
@Acheron18: Umm I think you misunderstood "Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Makes Me Want To Play Every Shooter On The PS5". The creator was so excited with DS5 adaptive trigger thus he wanted to see how it feels on older FPS games and new games as well. There is zero words in the title indicating that DS5 is the best though. If anything, only best for recreating pulling a gun trigger experience.
For the second paragraph, well guns in general when they shoot the pattern of the bullet shots (or spray) are random right? But in certain games, those patterns are not random but fixed, like CS:GO for example. Therefore, usually pro players have to memorize the patterns and adjust their aim accordingly. The problem is that this requires your eyes to see where your bullets go, and in the case of far shooting + heat moment it is difficult to do so. However, with the introduction of vibration, and if it matches with the fixed pattern, you can know specifically when the gun recoil reaching the max as well as where you bullet will go the most outward, so you can adjust the aim much better and rely less on your eyes.
@Acheron18: The feature is there to enhance the single-player experience, obviously competitive players will turn it off when online, can't you just enjoy fun things for once in your life? No one said the DS5 is going to be better than KB+M or dramatically increases player skills, it just tries to make players feel pulling a trigger real for once.
However, it could still be useful in gaming, let's say you played a game similar to CS:GO with fixed-spray-pattern guns, and based on its vibration you felt and adjusted your aim better as you knew exactly when your gun was going at peak recoil, thus more precise.
Sony needn't buy any studios, if they have to, the best guess is Bluepoint next, otherwise they still have great relationship with Japanese publishers like Square Enix, Capcom, Koei, Spike Chunsoft, NISA & Falcom, etc. thus true platform exclusives. Yes we are all aware of the censorship, there were controversies and few shifts here and there; however, most still find Playstation & Nintendo their home. Besides, Sony can just offer money for a bit of time-exclusive as usual.
1. Improved graphic but the gameplay is not attractive 2. AIs appear like a boss, but die like bitches 3. AI again, are they always turn somewhere else or pretend to talk to others without patrolling around ? Just stand there and get shot ? [Yeah that is called innovation] 4. Why guns ? They dont even have any special things to be called "can be used underwater". They should have used spear guns, also they are really accurate and silent 5. Is the AI that lazy to shoot down the ship by himself ? He said that: You only got one shot. If he already known that, then he should have shot it ! Not us ! because he knew we would miss the shot =.=. By the way, the target is a huge ship... 6. I think they should work for Discovery as Sea researhing team, now i cant wait to see their Atlantic city 7. Unless the story is really interesting, i will not look forward to this ['cause the story is the only thing keep me playing COD games]
