Whether you agree or not, he explains the reaction pretty clearly in the article.

Nah, the inspiration was charming, funny, and needed in response to the truly shitty things Microsoft were trying to do to the game industry. This, like Ethan says, is cringe-y because it equivocates a console needing an included stand with trying to fuck consumers over with unprecedented DRM.

This is far from an isolated incident and is pretty much embodied in Aaron Greenberg.

Yeah, you’re right; that tweet should’ve been clearer.

All I can tell you is it was clarified through multiple sources mere minutes after the tweet you posted, multiple outlets who wrote articles about the demo being in the show reported this, and everyone I knew who I talked to about this before the event knew what it was going to be.

Controllability doesn’t really matter. What matters is that the whole world is still there. Maaaaybe they’re hiding the streaming out of whatever’s behind the player for that entire longer period of time, but even if that was the case, that doesn’t explain what’s happening during all of the following portal jumps.…

You’re just repeating yourself over and over again...

I mean, that’s demonstrably incorrect.

And then Geoff said:

Then explain Quantum Conundrum, and Dishonored 2. In D2 you could look at the whole other lcoation in realtime while being in the one. Seeing both at the same time.

Sorry, but every dev I’ve seen talk about this gameplay disagrees vehemently.

Nah. I mean, you can complain about how they talked about it during the show, but before the show, when they announced that they’d be showing Ratchet gameplay, they said that it would be an uncut version of the same exact gameplay we saw at the PS5 reveal.

Nah, I think you’re wrong on this one. Effects aren’t the bottleneck.

Think about this for a second. I mean really think. If you disagree with what I said, then you agree that it’s normal for people to become familiar with a movie or show outside of buying it at first. And yet somehow, you think streaming services and streaming services alone are a huge threat.

It is also dramatically shrinking the physical market for television shows. It went from small-ish to miniscule.

Someone’s not a Ratchet & Clank fan, haha.

No, they showed it once. They were very clear ahead of time that this would be uncut footage of the same gameplay we saw before.

They absolutely did.

lol, it’s very practically unfeasible on current-gen hardware.
