>less than 70% of the games Sony showed off at E3 2016 have been released within a year
>most of the games they showed off which have come out were multiplats or VR
What went wrong?
Ultimately the vast majority of the developers who jumped ship from Nintendo to Sony in the 90's are now shells of their former selves.
Capcom, Square. Konami... none are the huge juggernauts they used to be/
Honestly this is about what I expect out of Sony's presentations now. They're entertaining, but don't expect to hear about half the shit they show you for a year at least.
At least Nintendo will release the games they show you in a timely fashion. Even if their Directs aren't home runs every time, they're consistent with release dates.
>>378156916
So, what you're saying is, that outside of Nintendo the Japanese game industry is stagnant, and Western games are the way to go? Good to know.
>>378156916
Funny how that works, isn't it? Most of the developers who still work or partner with Nintendo are still reasonably successful and often comment about how enjoyable and rewarding it is to work with Nintendo, like Kamiya's interview about the development of Bayonetta 2
Then you look at the developers who left Nintendo and... well, the fate of Rare pretty much sums it up
>>378157323
This is quite literally the gaming red pill.
>>378156815
Jokes on you, most of their VR titles are now multiplat, too.
>>378157323
No, no, western devs have never really been relevant.
For reference, here's how some of the other conferences stack up.
>>378157869
>>378157869
Wasn't Scalebound just given to another dev instead of Platinum?
>>378157962
>>378156815
>What went wrong?
Software sales
Sold over 60 million pieces of hardware, but only ONE title has over three million copies shipped: Uncharted 4 (happens to be bundled.) For some reason, PS4 owners aren't buying software in huge amounts. I imagine it's why a lot of titles went multiplat and are now going to PC/Bone/Switch/Vita as well.
>>378157987
As far as I know, no.
>>378158065
>>378157323
More like the entire game industry is stagnant. Big publishers like EA, Ubisoft and Capcom keep releasing the same shit over and over again, only with less content and more DLC/microtransactions. Indies are not doing much better either, most of it is absolute trash.
>>378158232
Jesus Christ, Ubisoft, get it together.
>>378158232
Nintendo didn't have a conference, so these stats show the games from their Treehouse streams.
>>378158357
This makes it clear Nintendo won by a long shot.
>>378158357
Lastly, PC Gaming, which was somehow has less pathetic stats than Ubisoft.
>>378158560
I wasn't sure how to handle the Post-Show, so I made the stats including the Post-Show into a separate page.
>>378158232
>As far as I know, no.
Did a little research, they did.

>these metacritic scores show that Nintendo won because they're the highest
>but metacritic is biased and full of those evil paid off gaming journalists, which is why you can't trust it
Reallly makes you think.
>>378158232
At least everyone can come together and laugh at Ubisoft.
God of war and Spiderman coming this year.
>>378159772
>Nintendo has a lower average Metacritic score than both Sony and Microsoft
>but only barely, while still having much higher release rate
Really activates the old almonds.
>>378161332
Again
>relying on metacritic scores for any reason whatsoever
>>378156815
If Spider-man isn't good, I'll smash my PS4. I've never felt buyers remorse with a system before, but goddamn this library is barren as fuck. Almost everything I have is 3rd party.
>>378158357
>only game we're bringing to E3 is Zelda
>shows off almost as many titles as Sony or MS
??
Most of Sony's best game announcements are TGS/PSX keynotes, E3 is just for the normie crowd
>>378161918
Thanks for confirming you have shit taste if all the games you like are third party.
>>378158232
>Ubisoft games suck just as much as their conference
They are by far the worst video game company, I don't understand why everyone was crying when they were going to get taken over by Vivendi. The cringy shit at their conference is worse than the others combined.
>>378157323
This. People who think Japshit is in a good place now are fucking delusional when Western games such as Horizon, and eventually Mount and Blade Bannerlord, absolutely blow the likes of trash like Nier Automata and Persona "FotM trash" 5 straight out of the water.
Japanese games only serve to hold the medium as a whole back. Soon, the gaming throne will be reclaimed by that which truly deserves it: the West.
>>378157516
Pretty much. To bad weebcucks won't take it.
>>378162526
Sony's first party is pretty much all cinematic movie games though.
>>378162526
>PS4
>good 1st party games
wut
>>378163035
No.
>>378162984
>human revolution anywhere near the original
>dishonored 2 at the bottom
re-evaluate your life choices
>>378163035
>>378163079
>Ps4 first party
>bad
???
>>378157323
This.
Childhood is idolizing Japshit
Adulthood is growing up, leaving that archaic garbage behind, and embracing the fact that Western gaming is the future.
>b-but I p-play both!!
Lel fuck off centrist cuck.
>>378163653
A cinematic movie game, just like I said.
>>378163653
weebcucks btfo!
>>378163736
cinematic movie game better than 90 percent of other trash japs put out. SAD
>>378163736
But why does it get high scores with game journos praising its gameplay among other things?
>>378163895
>praising its gameplay
>>378156815
Why did you expect those games to be released in current year? They were just announced and had no dates. The only one that looks shaky is Detroit.
>>378163869
Better at being a movie, sure. Not really sure what your point is though.
>>378164113
>>378164012
>Still higher than japtrash.
>>378162984
>Dishonored 2
>rpg
>shit
????
>>378164234
What does "japtrash" have to do with anything? You know Sony is a Japanese company right?
>>378164113
>>378164012
so if it doesn't have good gameplay, why is it so highly praised?
>>378163869
>>378164234
This. The difference between Western gaming and japtrash is that the West actually makes attempts to immerse the gamer into the game, and help evolve the medium. While japtrash is still clinging to the past with their creepy doll waifus and "le soooo cartoony colorful grafix XDDDD"
>>378164294
I know. They are redpilled enough that they employ their best studio(which is western) to work on western games. They know weebshit don't sell, it never does.
>>378164491
Because it's a good movie for the low-standards that games have when it comes to shit like that.
>>378164563
Why not just play on your all American shooter games on your all American Xbox?
>>378164729
So what you're saying is that game journalist reviewers shouldn't be trusted because they have obscenely low standards and will give any cinematic movie game a pass? And furthermore they don't know what a quality game looks like?
>>378164885
No, I'm not saying that at all actually. My post is right about yours, I'm sure you can look up to see what I did say.
>>378164729
>Xbox
It's like you're not even trying to understand. Typical, for a weeb.
Here >>378164514
Japs making western games == Best games
Japs making Eastern games == japtrash
>>378156815
They're still at the top standard, nothing wrong.
>>378165070
But you'd rather play those games on your japtrash console instead of on the proper western console?
Bit strange.
>>378164491
It does....Why do you think Uncharted put a standard on third person action? Hell, even nuTomb Raider copied it's style. They don't do it just for lulz.
>>378157323
>Nintendo
>isn't stagnant
lol
>>378165070
Don't fucking bother with him, anonbro. Weebcucks never learn, they just want the same game again and again instead of seeing gaming become a serious artform.
>>378165279
>even nuTomb Raider copied it's style
Are you trying to attack your own point?
>>378165363
It actually helps my point. Now what? nu Tomb Raider is bad now? Did I miss the contrarian memo?
