Jaffe: Sony has uphill climb due to iPhone, iPad |
Listed in: News Tags: apple, David Jaffe, Sony
Outspoken Playstation developer David Jaffe believes that Sony has a big competitor in Apple.
"Look at the iPhone you're holding right now," Jaffe said in an interview with GamingUnion. "Here's what I think... Anyone reading this knows I'm loyal to Sony. Not that I don't like Microsoft, I do but Sony has always been good to me. So I want to preface what I'm about to say, because I don't want people to think I'm bashing them. I will work with Sony as long as they will have me, but they have an uphill climb - this entire industry has an uphill climb now - because of the iPhone and the iPad. Unless we as an industry get to cloud computing and gaming sooner rather than later, I think we'll have to get used to a noticeably smaller piece of the overall pie."
"I think a large number of people are satisfied with the cheaper, downloadable gaming experiences on their phones. Even if you're talking PlayStation Suite, so I'm not saying Sony doesn't have some of that pie," he continued. "People always have their phones with them, because they're a one-shop device. That means traditional [console / handheld] games have to be so much better in order to get enough people away from their phone to game. I think that's why you see less games [at E3], because publishers have to put so much money into the games they do make to compete at that high level. [The iPhone] is such a **** disruptor. It will be an interesting thing to watch over the next couple of years."

Sony are planning to release a device with the same processor as the iPhone 5 but whose games will be £40 RRP as opposed to £1.50. if a game is >£1 it is going to have to be cloud distributed if it is >10 pounds most are going to want physical media so it can be traded, swapped with friends etc
The Market is changing but until prices drop dramatically IMO games shops & physical media are going to be around forever. imagine spending £45 on home front and finishing it in less time than the first 2 levels of angry birds then finding you could not trade it back
IMO (typed on my iPad, having just got my ass handed to my by demon souls again, gonna go listen to stitcher on my iPhone to relax

I'm not very old myself but even I remember when games would cost upwards of $90 each. Not all of them did but they didn't have the set prices like now.

I have an android phone, I do play games on it, but it's such a short time waste of a platform when compared to an actual gaming system. At least with SOny's new Vita they're implementing such tech to allow solid CORE games while also allowing for the world of time-wasters to be able to port over well with it's touch screen.
That said, a 15 y/o girl with her iphone who just on a whim purchases angry birds - isn't necessarily going to branch off and turn to core gaming because of it.
The market is growing and you're going to have different factions of gamers. Real gamers and those who spend $.99 on a time-waster where you fling birds at pigs.

yea there no were near the quality of console games but free or a dollar doesnt bother me at all but paying 60 for a game thats utter crap does.

For example, I've been having a blast playing Jack of all Tribes and the game cost me $4.
Something that ticks me off a little are the games on the Nintendo shop. WTF is up with those prices!? $10 for a game that would be $1 anywhere else? $10 for a game that used to be FREE on a website?
I can have way more fun on my iPad for close to no money (for games) and it's all thanks to my having paid $600 for the unit and there is NO LICENSING and NO BS RESTRICTIONS against who can and who can not code on it.
