Sony's actual quietness

One of the coolest things about Worldwide Studios has to be that the selling point has become the studios themselves, rather than their IPs. Well, it's still a combination of the two, but less focused on IP than it historically has been in the industry. I LOVE that, and I feel like it's smart for long-term health. You can really tell by the way they reveal their games. In announcement trailers, people cheer at the studios' logos just as much, if not more, than they do for the games' titles.

They can put that dog's paw in front of anything and people will go crazy.

Yeah, and a lot of their other studios are on their way to that kind of relevance too. Guerilla would essentially need one more homerun of a new IP after Horizon 2/3 and they would certainly attain that level.

As someone from that culture, nah the kinds of movies shown in these gifs (except for bajirao mastani that started this whole chain) are awful. What you're seeing is movies basically made for the masses/box office sales (like transformers). Some of them may occasionally have decent scene now or then, but usually it's just a bunch of mindless over-the-top action taken to the extreme without any real substance to back it up.

There is plenty in bollywood that is good, but usually those movies don't do as well box office wise, and don't make for good gif material.

Never change, GAF.

Agreed :)

Edit: And I find it always funny that people excuse a company for doing nothing just because they are market leader ;) So a Company who is market leader doesn't need to allow EA Access, or need to improve their network, PSN, and customer service, allow changeable Gamertags, BC, digital refunds, or need to announce new games for PlayStation 4, Vita or PSVR?

I guess you weren't around during the years when "gaf" thought Sony was going out of business and there'd be no PS4.

Well... You could have named the things that they DID but you just choose what they didn't and made it look like it's all that matters.

You're trying too hard. You need to be more subtle with it. Treat it like an art.

It doesen't matter what they already did in the past ;) I meant that I can't understand people who thinks that a company doesn't need to evolve just because they are the market leader while there is still alot where they could improve :)

All that crap means nothing if you aren't regularly releasing games which Sony is.

I'm not talking about the past... Do you even have a PS4? They launched a big firmware this year with lots of requested features and new ones. Also, PS4 have a lot of exclusives games on the Horizon, of course there's still work to be done, there always will.
