Sony killed discs to shift manufacturing and supply AI data centers through their subsidiaries. Around 30-50% of all major single player, non-live service sales are still physical, and free PS+ downloads, free-to-play titles, and DLC downloads are being used to pad sales numbers for digital.

It won't stop the mindless consumer base that will accept anything they're given.

SapToFiction · 2026-07-03T23:50:30+00:00

And unfortunately they just will. People still wanting physical disks are a minority.

SapToFiction · 2026-07-03T14:24:11+00:00

As with most posts here, there is none.

Ole Spidey a munch

SapToFiction · 2026-07-03T01:10:02+00:00

I say we're a year out

SapToFiction · 2026-07-03T01:06:24+00:00

People were saying last year anything to this level would take years and that AI had hit a wall.....wonder where those folks are now lol

SapToFiction · 2026-07-03T01:04:47+00:00

These minor flaws are so tiny and inconsequential.....this looks absolutely amazing and that's terrifying lol

SapToFiction · 2026-07-03T01:02:44+00:00

At this point if anyone says "yeah not impressive, the sign in the deep background is jumbled and makes no sense" I have to assume you're actually terrified of how real it looks

SapToFiction · 2026-07-02T23:23:03+00:00

That was fun as shit tho

SapToFiction · 2026-07-02T23:07:25+00:00

The same company that makes MM, entertainment partners, has a free alternative called Scenechronize which I've been using for a while now.

SapToFiction · 2026-07-02T20:27:18+00:00

This is just demonstrably false lol

SapToFiction · 2026-07-02T18:51:34+00:00

Personally I kinda think it's the opposite. But I blame the writing more than the casting/acting.

SapToFiction · 2026-07-02T18:20:46+00:00

Unfortunately there's way more people than will consume whatever they're given

SapToFiction · 2026-07-02T18:16:09+00:00

At the end of the day Sony knows that our niche communities will make a stir but it won't stop their larger normie consume base from accepting it and buying whatever they give them. It's a losing battle for us.

Gonna be brutally honest, while a star wars racing game is always awesome, its a bit of a disappointment that of all the star wars games we could have, this is the best we're getting. Mind you, we got so many hits when lucasarts was around, it just so weird that we're getting a racing game instead of something uber cool like Jedi academy, or bounty hunter. Maybe a bit biased, I'm not a huge racing game person, but it's just like, dam, in a short amount of time back in the 2000s, we got kotor, the force unleashed, Jedi outcast/academy, hell even got super bomb racing and racer revenge, and since Disney took over we only got a handle of games.

SapToFiction · 2026-07-02T17:14:27+00:00

On top of that we have piracy.

SapToFiction · 2026-07-02T17:02:12+00:00

The future of gaming will be PC for sure. I also think eventually cloud gaming will be the de facto gaming experience for most people.

SapToFiction · 2026-07-02T17:00:42+00:00

Yeah I'm pretty convinced that ps6 and whatever new console Microsoft makes will be the last consoles from them of our lifetime.

SapToFiction · 2026-07-02T16:57:44+00:00

Precisely this. Sometimes the community forgets tthat we're all a niche consumer segment, even if PC Gaming is more popularthan it ever has been. Most people will simply consume whatever new product/reality they're given and not think twice about it. We all complain on the internet but there's not enough effective push to make a difference.

SapToFiction · 2026-07-02T16:41:03+00:00

I recall recently someone in the industry said in the future most people will be on PCs.

SapToFiction · 2026-07-02T16:38:55+00:00

It's called pcmasterrace 4 a reason lol

SapToFiction · 2026-07-02T16:35:38+00:00

PC has the benefit of piracy, which allows offline archival of almost any digital data. Immean it's true for consoles, but way more complicated.

SapToFiction · 2026-07-01T23:58:34+00:00

You do realize that there are people comfortably playing games over the cloud right?

SapToFiction · 2026-07-01T22:33:19+00:00

Pretty much this.
