  • On this week's episode of IGN's PlayStation show, Podcast Beyond!, host Jonathon Dornbush is joined by Brian Altano and Max Scoville to discuss the biggest news in the world of PlayStation.
    We begin the show addressing the recent accusations against Activision Blizzard before jumping into word of PS5's huge sales success as it crosses the 10 million consoles sold number. We analyze that success in the face of supply shortages, as well as look at some of the PS5's biggest hits so far, like the sales for Returnal and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart.
    We also jump into the PS Plus lineup for August, some recent comments from Shawn Layden as he takes on a new role at a different media company, and much more. Plus, we answer some of your questions, like our hopes for PlayStation's handheld future, and more.

    Forcing the same customers jump around from platform to platform by itself is a quick way to lose customers and you know every new platform would have it’s own unique features/weapons, etc.

      Did they respond, though? I know they changed their strategy to focus more on their subscriptions than on selling consoles (their interview right before E3 telling everyone the xbox would be an app on our TV's etc stopped me from getting a Series S this summer), but doesn't that have more to do with Microsoft wanting gaming as another pillar of their software business than them competing with Playstation? Phil Spencer said Google and amazon were their main competitors, and while I take anything he says with a grain of salt, they didn't exactly come out swinging with big games for their new system, and the main selling point for the console is something they're also selling for PC's and phones. I think the console wars is something they're a part of mainly to be covered as an equal competitor, unlike Stadia, and using that as a Trojan horse for marketing for their services, which they plan to integrate with their search/map/OS efforts.

      @@THE_DEEZLE I've had gamepass for phone streaming for over a month, and I think I've opened it three times. Some of that is because of input lag, but I don't find the library there particularly impressive, while I'm desperate to get a PS5 and play Ratchet, Returnal and Demon's Souls, and I'm holding off on Miles Morales and Death Stranding until I get next gen versions. I'm looking forward to trying out Flight Simulator today or tomorrow, but with Horizon and God of War next year it's not a difficult decision to pick a next gen console for me. However, if Microsoft can get their streaming to function well, they can stake an early claim to a different gaming market. Maybe. I still think doing Gamecube numbers after several years of gamepass is underwhelming when it's out on everything from consoles to PCs to phones, and I think Playstation could catch up in three months if they put all their first party games in a subscription service. Xbox is doing something interesting, but I'm not sure they're able to, or interested in, competing in console numbers. Their game line-up doesn't suggest a company hungry to win back their 360 market share

    Update: As of today, 7/30/21, Sony announced "Horizon: Forbidden West" is delayed until early 2022. This shouldn't surprise anybody given the on-going pandemic + every other major title being delayed, too. However, like Brian said, there are tons of games to play on both the PS5 and Series X/S, so it's not like this impact of this delay will be major. It also gets it out of the way of Call of Duty, and other traditional Holiday releases e.g. Halo, Forza Horizon 5, etc.

    Everybody should do what they think is right, but I believe that companies like Activision/Blizzard won't change unless their bottom line is negatively affected. I know people want to believe that corporations care about the ground level grunts/consumers but trust me they don't give a shit unless it means more profit, and less cost. So if you believe that covering/buying their products is the right thing to do then by all means. You can have swift change or slow agonizing change. Look to Ubisoft, they seem like they really got their shit together even though everyone bought and still buys their shit lol.

      @hondasir21 3 года назад

      yeah $70 is much and it's not corporate greed. you know it costs money to make a game and corporate/investors have to pay their game developers. A rough cost of development for a AA title is somewhere in the $60-$80 mil. A lot more for a AAA game like GTA which requires a higher budget because of more game developers and overhead costs. Sony/MS then takes a 33% share cut, supply chain retail stores take 10%, and the developers get the rest. So when you wait to buy it at $20 they aren't getting that much profit out of it and that game you didn't buy at launch might not get a future sequel due to poor sales.

    • @maxminy5634
      @maxminy5634 3 года назад

      That’s just how capitalism works. It’s all about corporate greed and how much money you can make off a single product. But the good thing about this gen there are plenty of cheaper games to play if you’re a new console gamer through back compatibility. Plus game sharing makes games much more affordable than the physical game days. The point is some people have the money to buy day 1 and will get it regardless. And some people will wait until it’s bargain bin. And others everything in between. I do like gamepass model, but the survival of this model depends on user base from a company perspective. There’s outrage from movie theatre companies right now with the emergence of hbo max and Disney plus day one releases on streaming movies. But you can see that as a whole each film is only making a fraction of what it used to make in theatres even though it’s theoretically more widely available now. Interesting to see how it all goes. Movies like endgame made 2.8 billion in box office alone, imagine a future where thats no longer possible because of consumer behaviour. At the end users will just dictate with their wallet.

      @@MidLifeGamerGuy lol not to be an asshole but I am right about that. And when you couple that with longer development times, you're paying even more out in wages. Then there's increased costs associated with overhead, and even additional server and data related expenses that weren't required in the past, but are more critical than ever today with more games relying on online services (ex. the whole emergence of GAAS games).
      Games should cost a lot more based on all the market factors, however, a steep price would also drive away consumers. This is why every publisher is nickle and diming consumers with DLC, MTX like premium skins, remasters, re-releasing games via GOTY editions, etc etc.
      No one at IGN would be able to really break this stuff down because they aren't subject matter experts, and they aren't privy to the financials. These guys are just gaming enthusiasts who flip console war headlines and narratives from message boards like Resetera and Neogaf.
      Honestly, a $10 increase in price isn't really as big of an issue as people are making it out to be because there are tons of sales to take advantage of. Right now, you could get Returnal and Demon's Soul for 30% off via the Summer Sale on PSN.

    Thanks for addressing the Activation Blizzard issue. I’d love to just stick to gaming news, as games are a haven from politics and I’d love to keep things mutually exclusive when I choose to click a PlayStation podcast. At the least, address it at the end.

    My thing is that if the scalpers have the hardware how will people buy the software which is where the real money is made. You can't sell software if the hardware isn't available to buy. Sony is doing something shady.

      Exactly. People keep listing games 'updated for the new consoles' as 'all of these games to play' for the console. While nice....that isn't really a reason to buy a system for many people...especially if they have played most of those games already and aren't looking to revisit them. I dont get why that is hard to understand. Neither PS or Xbox has MANY great games specifically for it yet. Though it is getting better for both and will continue to do so just like every other new hardware cycle ever.

Having just played 2016 on the PS4 when it was free to grab I honestly don't think in the moment to moment it's that much of an upgrade from that. Plus it had numerous glitches including hard locking up the ps5, only unplugging from the wall worked. And then I got the usual chastisement on restart while it checks the drive (is Sony still using FAT32? MS makes modern drives and it shows). I've already played most of the titles on your list that in interested in as it is, the third parties either on One X or series X.
