They’re now in danger of thinking they’ve got everything covered and when Microsoft’s plan kicks into top gear in a year or two I think there’s a real danger there’ll be caught with their pants down.Ĭould they still push through and win the generation anyway? Sure. It’s ironic, but the success of the PlayStation 5 could be the worst thing for Sony at the moment. Likewise, you can see why Microsoft are convinced they need to play by very different rules to get ahead now. So the PlayStation 5 is the fastest selling console ever in the US? As short-sighted as it is you can see why Sony think they’re doing things right and don’t need to explain themselves to anyone. If they try and take that nonsense seriously it will be an absolute disaster. Although to be honest I’m more worried about the Resident Evil 4 remake. You can have cheesy horror movies but they’re never actually scary as well, but Resi somehow was and often within a space of a few minutes.
Like, that was one of the magical things about it being a video game. Especially as one of the great things about the old games is how it could be silly and cheesy and still be genuinely scary. It’s nowhere near enough to put me off buying it but have a 100% serious Resident Evil makes no sense to me. Village has these wacky characters but apparently the story is still being taken seriously, so I don’t know. It’s one of the fundamental ingredients of Resident Evil and it’s a difficult thing to get right, especially as most of the time Capcom don’t seem to have intended it at all. More probably I’ll wait a couple of months to save a tenner or two but there are exceptions (maybe Resident Evil Village, especially as it’s been so long since a big game came out).Įverything about Resident Evil is sounding really good at the moment, but I have to agree with GC’s concerns about the lack of cheese.
Now, if it’s a big name sequel to something I’ve enjoyed, that’s got good reviews, then maybe I will buy it at full price. The only consideration I have when buying a game is how cheaply I can buy it, relatively to how soon I want to play it. And for a Sony game at that, not some two-man indie studio!
I imagine that Days Gone writer is already regretting saying what he did but I think it’s worth emphasising just what a thoughtless comment it was, suggesting people had a moral imperative to buy games at full price in order to support companies. To join in with the discussions yourself email sure thing The Tuesday Inbox wonders if the PS5’s early lead could end up hurting it in the long run, as one reader feels sorry for Sony Bend.
