resign
Kidnap Nintendo's game development staff and force them to make games exclusive to the system.
as long as the sportsball games come out on time then we're good
Fire all the trannies and replace them with white men.
Buy the splinter cell IP from Ubi and task Kojima to develop a faithful sequel to Chaos Theory with Michael Ironside. (Using the Fox Engine)
Force Naughty Dog to develop a new Jak & Daxter game or else they close down.
Make online multiplayer free
Profit
Gold parachute the fuck out.
Pump out enough games with budgets under $20m so that we have an exclusive every month. Not every game needs to appeal to everybody, make it so most people have something to consistently look forward to and build up an extremely strong library over the life of the console.
Only one company has figured this out, somehow. And it's very upsetting because I'd like it if more than just Nintendo cracked the code so we could have better competition.
move headquarters back to tokyo japan
cancel all liveservice games currently running or in production except helldivers 2
fire cuckmann, balrog, and all the other cancer
scale back heavily on AAA games and push for smaller budget games and AA titles
reform team asobi back to japan studio again and do a mass revival of older IPs like ape escape, twisted metal and wild arms
stop porting new playstation games to PC, only release older stuff to PC
make playstation online free again, with PS+ subscription still available
games are no longer $70-$90
hardware is a slightly more powerful PS5 Pro priced somewhere between $450-$600, all consoles have disc drives
4k 60fps Bloodborne remaster (NOT remake) as launch title
Cue the Playstation renaissance
I double down on removing the only thing that diversifies my platform from PC, and remove physical media support.
I'd close Naughty Dog after Intergalactic flops and prepare a hostile takeover of Take-Two Interactive to make NBA 2K, WWE 2K, Borderlands and GTA console exclusive franchises with no PC release. After that, reinvest revenue and savings from the ND closure to focus on smaller studios and AA titles to diversify the catalog. Hardware is mostly irrelevant, just avoid gimmicks.
replace them with white men.
asian men make very good games too, I'd say move the sie hqs back to japan strengthen your ties to japan again, and make some japanese studios too
You are in charge of the development of the PS6
Damn that sounds like a lot of wo-
They put you as lead of the game department
Oh nevermind I have to do fuck all
What do you do?
make everything not GaaS exclusive again
release a handheld version too to reconquer japan
make a high quality high budget Fate/Stay night gacha to make a billion dollars
dump half of west coast devs, invest heavily into european and asian games
2TB CARTRAGES NIGGA
YOU HEARD ME
this would work to rebuild a sony that's strong and successful and beloved, but the investors would put a hit on you because you'd be depriving them of the chance to go for infinite returns with a successful gaas game
8k and 60fps
less than 500$
50% of games are exclusives
simple as
cancel all PC ports, fire the trannies, reopen japan studio
Make the damn holodeck. The console malarkey isn't working so either go big or go bankrupt trying.
backwards compatible with all previous Playstation consoles and handhelds
not needing PS plus for online play, rather make it optional with huge discounts like steam sales
make the OS open so that you can install whatever like on Xbox series X/S
backwards compatible with past Dualshocks
focus on indies and AA games
only porting to PC if the game is a massive flop
move the HQ to Japan
restructure most of the studios
stop with the pointless GAAS push because it is obvious that it won't work
Did I miss anything?
the chance
do they seriously think marathon or fairgame dollarsign is going to make them any profit?
These two seem pretty good.
everyone's already said it
exclusive games
i would make sure to cut off all DEIslop studios and instead fund indie studios that are capable of making the same stuff as nintendo
focus on creativity instead of muh realism
i would also lower the online sub fee, set the standard price for most games at $50 (yes, you read that right), and introduce variable pricing for games (for example, an equivalent to short games like kirby and the forgotten land or princess peach showtime would be $30 instead of $50)
third party games like gta 6 would be decided by the publisher, preferable set those big AAA/AAAA games at $70
make sure there is at least one exclusive every month
also introduce a portable handheld that launches alongside ps6, it'll be capable of playing all the games the main console can but at less res and fps
creating alternatives to big nintendo franchises like pokemon, mario, zelda, splatoon, animal crossing will also be a priority
make sure there is at least one exclusive every month
also introduce a portable handheld that launches alongside ps6, it'll be capable of playing all the games the main console can but at less res and fps
Funny thing is that is basically what Sony is doing for PS6. Multiple leaks are showing that the next generation of Playstation will launch with two SOCs. One is a normal home console and the other is a handheld version of PS6. I guess Sony developing PSSR will play a role in that.
force them to make games exclusive to the system
games for children? Wrong demographic bro Playstation is (was) the cool boii console. Once they departed from that proven formula and went into faggot territory that's when they started failing. So no, do the complete fucking opposite of that
cool
now we wait and see how powerful that thing will be
if it isn't capable of running gta 6, then it's gonna be an utter embarrassment
hopefully, they pull it off
i want to see a competitive sony, not the dogshit that we just saw with all their DEIslop
scale back heavily on AAA games and push for smaller budget games and AA titles
Please don't. We need GOOD triple A titles. Just scale back the graphical fidelity on a handful of them to be more in line with what we had between 2015-18 (MGSV etc).
do a mass revival of older IPs like ape escape
Please no more games for children, if you yearn for that shit get a nigtendo snatch 2
games are no longer $70-$90
hardware is a slightly more powerful PS5 Pro priced somewhere between $450-$600
As cool as this sounds it's literally not possible at this point. Hardware is too expensive. Games however could be cheaper, but I personally don't mind the price tag IF IT'S GOOD, WHICH MOST FUCKING AREN'T.
4k 60fps Bloodborne remaster (NOT remake) as launch title
Kill yourself you stupid fucking retard
What do you do?
Enforce 2step auth on controller(s) and have player login every time they use it. Add a useless box with "Remember this device" just to watch players try to use mouse on controller and tick that box for no reason at all.
Imagine controller disconnecting for a second and you have to recharge it in order to resume playing only for the console to requests you to login again because controller isn't identified.
Then, a month later, add "controller plus" subscription service which skips all that hustle for extra $10 per month
LaserDisc and Compact Flash compatibility.
AAA simply isn't sustainable.
Please no more games for children,
Those were the games that made Playstation liked in the first place Dudebros were what killed everything
Nice mix of old IPs and Dudebro games is needed.
Sell it to Microsoft
just have console released with the same handful of IPs every nigger or sn0yboy buys like COD NBA or Madden
>backwards compatible with all previous Playstation consoles and handhelds
>not needing PS plus for online play, rather make it optional with huge discounts like steam sales
These 2 alone would make me buy a console, but ((they)) would never do it especially since the ps3 is a nightmare in terms of backwards compatibility.
also introduce a portable handheld that launches alongside ps6
they did this with the ps5 and it's horrible for streaming.
Make it a handheld with a very high PPI screen that slots into a shell and doubles as a VR headset. Ship it with the headset shell and push Half-life alyx level games on it simultaneous with the normal releases.
It would be a gamble and would probably flop but that's the only chance they have of releasing hardware that is actually exciting. If Nintendo did it they would make it work and it would be the best selling console of all time
How to save PS6? Simple, make sure the launch lineup is rock fucking solid. At least 20 games all launching simultaneously and all permanently exclusive to PS5.
Also take obvious wins like backwards compatibility, no paid online, unmoderated voice chat. Try to steal Xbox's quick resume. Strip out the DRM. Try to make the hardware durable and easy to repair. Less delicate controllers.
On the management side, try to remove the restrictions and regulations about who can make video games for the console. Less censorship and oversight. Try to make it so getting onto PS6 is easier than getting unto Steam.
I'd just release The Last of Us 1 & 2 remastered for PS6 before the release date just to see how much I can milk NPCs
Take the money and run.
why would you have to do anything? just release it and cattle will buy it like they always do.
Now check out these dubs
