Poopfeast420, do gaming w Sony considers further price rises, as it braces for £500m tariffs impact [Eurogamer]

Hopefully more price increases in regions that don’t have these tarrifs. Can’t have the US pay too much.

And then they will lower the prices when the tariffs stop right? Right?

If they have to compete, which it looks like they will in some capacity, then it’s totally possible.

I wouldn't buy at the current price, raise it as much as you like.

There's just not enough USPs to justify the cost to me, regardless of how shiny the graphics might be.

I want to want it, but it's going to have to do a lot more than it currently is as a platform.

You guys realize you don’t have to buy these things, right? When they raise prices you don’t have to get angry and still buy.

In this case, the anger may or may not be focused at Sony, as tariffs affect far more than just the PlayStations we already weren’t buying.

Elevator7009,

It’s possible to be dismayed at price raises that don’t affect you, because it will affect others. I was never in the market for a console and do not anticipate buying new electronics anytime soon, but I am sure that this will sadden others who find themselves priced out. Besides, I don’t know what the future holds. Maybe an existing electronic of mine breaks and I find I need a replacement, so the price hikes will touch me.

This is what got me about the RTX 50 series cards from Nvidia. People with 4090’s getting upset at the prices and lack of supply as if they must purchase one.

no worries guys, we can just go buy the american-made competitor with no tariffs.

@NONE_dc@lemmy.world avatar

If you mean Microsoft, I think they will also raise prices just because. They did it recently.

We’re cooked no matter what.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Even the American competitor sources all of their components from outside the US.

As I said, Cooked.

Deep fried, I argue.

And that’s why we’re cooked.

What kind of compression do they use? /s

Meanwhile, PC players can still buy and play it off steam. Or just pirate it

alehel,

Eh, you can also play the 360 version on series s/x.

GTA IV is currently backwards compatible on Xbox, so you can already play it on there. If you have your old 360 disc that works you can use that to get the digital version.

Just keep Grove Street Games as far away from this as possible.

No one wants to see them butcher another entry in this series with their lazy, AI-upscale slop.

MrScottyTay,

I think they got shut down did they not?

thatKamGuy,

They are still hiring, according to their website - so unlikely they’ve been shut down.

MrScottyTay,

I must’ve heard wrong then. I swear I saw that they got shut down and then a different team came in to do those extra fixes on the shitty trilogy collection

ToughGoat,

To be fair I don’t think the issue is Grove Street Games. The AI-upscale texture work wasn’t even done by them - that was Technicolor, who Rockstar, as far as I know, still use to this day.

The issue was that Rockstar gave them a tiny budget, not a whole lot of time, and then moved the deadline forward six months when GTA V E&E got delayed. I think the scope for the project was fundamentally wrong as well, the games needed a lot more than a straightforward port onto Unreal Engine.

No wonder it released in the state that it did.

I loved it but I ain’t buying it a second time at more than 10$!

I guess AAA studios are hollywood now. Unable to create something new, put a new coat of paint on something from the attic. Milk the audience with nostalgia.

    My comment isn’t just about Rockstar, although they did also do some milking with GTA3 as well. Recently there was TES IV, plus all the Skyrim editions, from Bethesda. Now Gears of War is getting a remaster. In recent years, remakes and remasters from AAAs seem to have increased. Last of Us is another example.

    And to be clear, I’m not necessarily against the remakes/maintaining the classics to be playable on modern hardware. Really, it’s the price tags.

    S491,

    Gta 6 has been delayed to 5/26/2026

    victorz,

    The time of release is kind of irrelevant. They’re working hard on a new game.

    Having said that, it’s the same game with a different story, so… Neither side has much of a point. 😆

    echodot,

    What universe are you from where it’s coming out next week.

    Now? They do that all the time, in fact Hollywood do this since I don’t know, the 50s?

    piyuv,

    Have been for a while. Thank god indie game devs.

    sugar_in_your_tea,

    I have no issues with them remastering old games for newer platforms. I have a problem with remaking old games instead of making new games.

    madame_gaymes,
    @madame_gaymes@programming.dev avatar

    Such a thin line, but that’s exactly what I’m saying. That on top of stop charging full new game price for something that I played 10+ years ago that’s only a remaster.

    sugar_in_your_tea,

    Yeah, I’d much prefer they make it a DLC or something for the existing game instead of a new entry entirely. I’d ideally be able to toggle between old and new in the same game.

    Yes but you still don’t have a physical release

    Only reason I haven’t modded HDR for this game is because it’s DX9 and a pain to mod. (I already did GTAV - Enhanced and GTA Trilogy Remastered since it’s UE). If they make a new port for PC it’ll be able to complete the set.

    I hope they could re release a PC version as well.
    Current GTA IV PC version is laughable on modern hardware. The optimization mod works ok most of the time. But sometime it stutters like crazy and I need a hard PC reboot to fix it.
