>PS5 will target hardcore gays
Why though?
Cool, except a hardcore game to the mainstream means CoD, GTA, FIFA.
hardcore third person story-focused action games wow
What constitutes a "hard core gamer" these days? Is it still cutsceneshit fags who play games for the autistic story? Or are we going back to actually challenging games made to test your skill?
Because we have money, and are adults.
hard core gamers are the people who buy RGB keyboards and have special gamer chairs
No one has considered Nintendo to be competition for a while no one with PS3/360/PC gave a shit about the Wii last gen
Hardcore gamer = niche.
Sony knows its place in the market. It can’t compete with the likes of mobile, google and Microsoft.
Sony has never considered Nintendo competition, at least since gen 5 or so. Even last gen when they got BTFO by the Wii, so that isn't exactly saying much if they reiterate it once again
All video games are for kids, kiddo
The average gamer plays COD, Fortnite, FIFA, etc. Anything beyond that is “hardcore”.
>" people buy a console to play high-quality games available only on that platform, not smaller games also available on smartphones."
they're not wrong
>"we want the hardcore gamers"
>gaming becomes larger
>"we also want the casual gamers"
>casuals fuck off and become phone whales
>"we want the hardcore gamers, again"
>gay marriage goes through
>"we want the gay gamers"
WHICH IS IT SONY
YOU NEED TO TARGET AN AUDIENCE, NOT EVERYONE
THERE'S A REASON CALL IT HAVING YOUR CAKE AND EATING IT TOO
>Nintendo Co. isn’t perceived as a major rival, the person said, because its main users tend to be younger than PlayStation’s core demographic.
Undisputable
Isn't Sony's definition of "hardcore gamers" people who only play cinematic games?
Someone post it
>No longer considers Nintendo competition
Sony and Nintendo haven't been in direct competition since the Wii launched
>Hardcore gamers
Knack 3 baby - or just more tlou, spiderman, god of war crap.
At least nintendo hires platinum to make good niche shit like bayo and astral chain.
>cenors tiddies
>hardcore
okay retard
It's been way too long since Sony made something I actually wanted to play.
Well people bought 100 million ps4s so seems like their market research is sound
based, nintendo is shit.
people who buy COD, Fifa, Battlefield, next garbage like Athem or Destiny, 200$ gaming headseats, gaming chairs, etc. After Sony sell 30-40 mil PS5, they will drop this hardcore gamers meme.
>The most casual brand
>Target "hardcore" "gamers"
They can't even do games properly...
Well, those games practically make or break consoles. Sony's movie games are niche when compared to multoplatform shooters and EA Sports. They are why Xbox360 won back in the day.
yeah, playing FIFA
Cinematic, sports and shooters are what Sony and most people consider hardcore.
>Well, those games practically make or break consoles
I know. Doesn't mean they're hardcore.
>Sony's movie games are niche when compared to multiplatform shooters
It's millions vs a few less million, neither are niche.
That's what passes as a hardcore gamer nowadays
Gaming is a mass market industry
Did you expect them to come out and say "we want to nail the autistic weeb segment"?
They still make cool off the wall games like dreams while catering for the unwashed masses
>Even last gen when they got BTFO by the Wii,
Oh no no no no
Sony and especially Microsoft literally did everything they could to pander to Wii audience with EyeToy and Kinect back in the day, Microsoft fell for the motion control meme so hard that stubbornly clinging to Kinect when even Nintendo had jumped off that train was one of the reasons Xbone was such an expensive mistake for them.
>The most casual brand
*confused in LABO*
And it's gonna cost twice as much for that reason
Can't wait to see all the "hardcore gamers" exclusives with my favourite lgtb protagonist.
Nintendo games tend to be way harder then sony games, so mweh.
This is code for : Really fucking expensive
Expect $600
>Retail price cardboard was more interesting than GoW2018
>Nintendo games tend to be way harder then sony games
HAHAHAHA
>Sony
>Hardcore
Fucking consolefags I swear
>PS5 will target hardcore gamers
You mean LGBTqueers?
Fpbp
I can't wait to play FIFA in 8K!
there is nothing hardcore about having sex with your butt
Just take 2 games of the fucking Wii U; DK Freeze Dong & The wonderful 101. And those are from the "current" gen, older stuff is way better, like Kid Icarus.
Bing bing tendies are seething mad today
>"hardcore" is defined by "interesting"
Does that mean everyone complaining about PlayDate are actually a bunch of casual shitters?
Maybe to you. But that says more about you than anything else.
labo is clearly a specialty item
"casual" would be stuff like Madden, FIFA, Jack Box
Nah you faggot. Bloodborne is harder than all of those.
And not a single Kiketendo game has the mechanical depth and skill ceiling of GT Sport.
Sony know how this works now. You put a lot of stuff out there that the "core" care about. Because when you have your bloodbornes and the like, they go to PS5, then they tell their casual friends what they're getting and the casuals buy what their friends have.
It's what propelled the PS4 so far, everyone that is a bit serious about games was like "man xbox is being shit get a ps4" to their friends.
I mean, I guess the censorship is pretty hardcore.
>DK Freeze Dong & The wonderful 101
Both casual trash just like kirby "plays itself" and animal crossing "made for gradma"
this is the saddest thing ive ever seen
would love to see a comparison to the ps1 or ps2
Deflection
Compare to Switch.
Best selling Switch game is a full priced Wii U port for toddlers.
>ignores Sony trying to hype up a remake of a Mario Kart rip off
Deflection from what?
Your post had no thoughtful input or factual information, it was just an ill informed opinion
Umm, excuse me sweetie.
Delete this! NINTENDDO IS SUPPOSSSSEDDDD TO BE HARDCORE BING BING WAGOOOOOOooooooooo
Sony gives you both options.
Pisstendo only gives you bing bing toddler shit.
even ctr is more hardcore
>No longer considers Nintendo competition since Nintendo is for kiddies
BING BING WAHOO!
sorry most of us arent poorfags and can afford more than one console per gen
>not posting the operating income graph
>Ripoffs are inherently bad
CTR is better than MK in every way, even the original ps1 game shits all over MK8:D in terms of mechanical depth, balance, difficulty
Seeth more
>car porn games
Why the fuck would you use those instead of actually good and fun racers like CTR and WipEout
sneed yourself desu
>snoy gets triggered and turns to his shitpost consolewar folder
Everytime
>Several publishers twice the size of tendie
Embarrassing
but Nintendo is the only one with uncensored real games in the end.
>tendies cant keep out of Sony threads
>cry when Sonychads take a shit on them
I have been playing games for a while but I will never identity myself as a hardcore gamer. I truly despise gamer culture.
Fpbp
we lost bro
i even deleted my switchad folder
its time to sell the switch, maybe next generation will be our time
>Anime avatarfag
Yes user seems that you are content to plumb even deeper depths
Hardcore gamers are people who unironically think playing videogames is an achievement.
>wastes money on home consoles and overpriced handhelds when streaming and mobile are the future
Stadia will be a grand trendsetter. When will Yea Forums grow up from their PLAYstations and Nintentoys? By all means let corporations rip you off with some more hardware.
hahahahahahahaha nice b8 m8
Well I bought a PS4 for autistic weeb games...
oof those graphics
Sony gives you an option to choose between Wipeout Omega and GT Sport.
On Switch, you'll have to settle for the bing bing karter
Yeah Nintendo is hardcore with Mario, Pokémon and Zelda.
Sure showed me how not butthurt you are.
cant wait to play grand strat and 4x on my ps-fifth
>Putting a switch watermark on an iphone game
>Bloodborne
>hard
10 days platinum etc etc.
Seriously though it's one of the easiest games in its genre that I have ever played.
>but Nintendo is the only one with uncensored real games in the end.
IT'S OK WHEN
Here's your hardcore gamer, bro
I will say one thing for Nintendo: they are Japanese.
The rest of the industry is American now. No sexy.
>labo is clearly a specialty item
A special item for the special bois
Wtf, image didn't upload
>Samass
Cry more smashfag, it's more faithful to her original design
>Some Xenoblade shit I don't give a shit about and Camilla
This was done by ratings boards
>Mr. Game and Watch
Only legitimate one here.
Smashfags need to be gassed.
but video game enthusiasts use their own custom built PCs
>Cry more smashfag, it's more faithful to her original design
Not even faithful to ZSS's original appearance, let alone real Samus'.
>using twitch emotes IRL
That xenoblade pic is not true and ZSS was done for lower age rating and is the same in Japan, which honestly was dumb since I doubt it would have affected sales.
No idea about that FE pic.
>HAVING YOUR CAKE AND EATING IT TOO
Is there an explanation for this expression? If you own a cake shoudn't it be your right to eat said cake(or give away, share, sell, dispose of,etc.)?
The point is you want to eat the cake and still have it afterwards. It's an expression for wanting to have two things that are designed to be mutually exclusive.
That makes more sense when you say it like that, thanks.
Honestly, if you aren't an idort then you're not even human.
SONY ALWAYS WINS BABY
>((((((((hardcore))))))))))
yes im sure that means a return to form like the ps2 era without any movie games at all
