Here is what is going to happen
>"Atari" releases new console
>It fucking flops harder than the ouya which puts the company's 50 million net worth into amazing debt
>Nothing happens to sony microsoft or nintendo because this isn't the 1980s and gaming isn't a niche market anymore
>Ultimately Atari is so dead and in so much debt nobody is even willing to buy it to sell t-shirts any more.
What makes you faggots think it will cause a video game crash?
>Current industry revenue $90 fucking billion
>Industry value in atari and intellivision heyday $3 billion
Did the fucking ouya bring down the gaming industry when it fell on its ass? No it fucking didn't.
don't EVER post on this site again
Also, who the FUCK is going to develop games for this new console? No one

Behold, I will.
AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
ITT: I'm trying to find out more youtube channels/personalities that have collaborated with EA on this title, just out of straight curiosity
I didn't like BF1 for several reasons but I've noticed something interesting about it:
Being publisher of this magnitude we obviously means that their marketing budget is fuckhuge, but the campaign had other, more unorthodox aspect. Remember articles where DICE spokeperson said that "at first we've encountered resistance from the management which said that majority of people won't even know what WW1 is"?
Knowing that average AAA game has 3 year development cycle(pre-production for a year or so -> production for 1,5-2 years and then there's support which I didn't count in these 3 years), you can easily come up with an obvious date for when did BF1 story started. The talks referenced in that interview happened at around 2012/early 2013 and the whole thing started moving forward from an idea to game in 2013 or early 2014. The way they've used youtube for marketing is one of the weirdest ideas I've ever seen:
The most obvious yt-related collaboration they've got was from Forgotten Weapons - Ian posted on his FB that he works as a consultant in EA somewhere back in 2014. The channel deals with the exact thing its name suggests - which is why you see so many weird prototype designs in that game.
Then in summer of 2014 yet another channel was created and I think there you've had direct EA involvement. The Great War covers WW1 history by doing week-by-week summaries of what happened 100 years ago. The collaboration wouldn't be obvious if it wasn't for the fact that in Verdun stream loooong time ago(I think it was deleted since) they've hinted BF1 being WW1 looong before the reveal(later on "bragged" about it in stream about Italian rifles I think). Coming back to FW, as soon as they've showed up, on the first opportunity, Ian released a video showcasing Hotchkiss HMG, MG08 and Vickers and made direct reference to TGW. (cont)
>>380839106
whether it was planned by EA or not - can't tell. However during the same stream where TGW bragged about this hint, they were asked by the viewers if they'll review the game or not(don't remember if they did) and if so, on what platform. The backstage crew said that they only have a PS4's but the host said that "he knows somebody who could get them new gaming PC's just to review it". Which I assume was somebody from DICE or EA.
Yet another channel is C&Rsenal which collaborates with TGW and deals with in-depth description and history of WW1 firearms. It came to life in 2015 and again - came out of nowhere. Somehow, an unknown gun collector decided that yes, this is something he's gonna buy equipment for and make a channel about it. Now he's better known but you get the point - it was pre-planned show, just like The Great War, the format and quality of the show was just as "professional" as it is now.
I'm not saying they're shills - in fact I believe all those 3 channels are very high quality and can recommend all of them but what surprised me is that they all kind of answer the problem that suit had early on. "Majority of people don't know anything about WW1" and so EA very likely helped to fund 2 of those 3 channels(FW is older than that and the guy who makes it works as a consultant in various companies for a looong time now) to make people... know something about WW1. That's pretty uncommon marketing scheme you wouldn't expect from EA.
Has any of you noticed other channels that at some point were "bringing knowledge about WW1 to the masses" around the time BF1 development was starting/going on?
This is pretty interesting anon but /v/ probably isn't the best place to discuss it.
I know for a fact they got the usual battlefield guys like levelcap and stuff to shill, but that's obvious. I know theres also another youtuber friends with the squad up crew who does WW1 history videos that was probably involved.
>>380839106
I like what you're saying, but FUCK I wish /v/ could actually have these discussions
>mixing politics and vidya together
a lot of you guys need to leave
>>380839081
we're not the ones who started it and it will continue until the marxists leave the industry
it's unavoidable
>implying video games are diverse enough
>>380839081
>he thinks consumers and shitposters started this
Stop having waifus.
Based Sawyer. PoE 2 is looking great.
He's gonna let me fuck Pallegina.
Most underrated game in the past couple of years.
When was the last time you had fun with vidya?
like two hours ago
>>380838807
Like eight hours ago.
Like twelve hours ago
>play first 30 minutes of this "game"
>black guy gets bullied by two white guys in hallway
>meets other second black guy part of that group a few meters later but "he's way nicer than the other guys"
>goes into toilette
>blonde criminal rich white guy kills some blue haired chick who tried to make him a good guy
Anyone else annoyed by this blatant SJW propaganda? Subtlety is not their strength it seems.
>developed by Frenchcucks
of course
>>380838757
>Daniel DaCosta
>black
Get your fucking eyes tested, anon.
There are three black characters, Ray the principal (drunken, ineffective dickhead), Hayden (douchebag jock) and Michelle (stereotypical wise old black woman).
LiS is the opposite of SJW dude
Has this little bait game gone too far? I refuse to believe people are actually offended over this game and am convinced we've been riding the ruse cruise this last week. Of course libs and other naive folk ate it up but it's time to end it. Game over guys, you've had your fun it's time to pack it in.
>tfw didn't buy a Switch at launch at MSRP
>mfw I'll pick up a switch at MSRP with Mario Odyssey in a few months
This is the saddest scene in Kingdom Hearts.
Prove me wrong.
>>380910494
The saddest scene is the start menu because it means i have to play kingdom hearts
>>380910494
Days was pretty fucking depressing too.
The KH2 prologue right after finishing Days is the saddest fucking thing ever.
>>380910494
The ending of 1 is always melancholic. I know a lot of the Roxas stuff is too.
Why are we still here?
Just to suffer?
my cock and balls yearn for thirst. you feel it too don't you?
We all die in the end so what's the point?
Sonic reminds of a time when eating cheese pizza and watching movies(like Dumb and Dumber and Death Wish) was the best thing in the world
Before 9/11?
>>380838549
Man. It really was 9/11 wasn't it? I mean, that was the turning point. For everything. Wow.
>>380838549
nah, from 1999-2004 I repeated pizza, movies and sonic weekends.
After 9/11 things became more degenerate though
Do you think the Switch has been a success in its target demographic?
But I'm a 30 year old neckbeard with mental illness and I love the Switch too.
If I saw those autistic minorities playing in public I would grab their Switch and stomp on it.
