They are useful reaction gifs. So as some easy marketing, it kinda like giving out branded pens when you think about it. Except you can lose pens. So it's better.

Shut your dirty mouth!

This one is amazing

My favorite part of a sony game release

The opposite, 20smth blue hairs aren't posting gifs of decade old memes, they are on tik tok or watching streamers. This is more so humor from a 35-40 year old who was 20smth in 2012 trying to recreate that era...which is fine if its organic, but when a cooperation leads a push to be funny it never works out. Xbox fails at it often too with their "lets be relatable" twitter post.

Maybe. All the devs I’ve seen on Twitter seem to be on their 20s and somehow already in lead designer positions at these studios.

These meme gifs that Sony obviously tells their studios to do arent cool. It's comes off as 40 something executives having their developers make gifs to appeal to "the youth" and completely misses the mark.

 

[Jaybe]

Yikes. Imagine getting your panties in a bunch about this. Help yourself to some introspection, my dude.

Millenias of evolution and competition have taken us from simple single celled organisms into complex multiorgan beings with brains formed of billion of interconnected cells capable of incredible feats.

And yet here we find ourselves getting upset over gifs.

If this is your biggest complaint about Sony, then I guess they are doing well...

Edge game of the year thread?

No. This post #42.

Holy shit I didn't realize it was Sony making these this whole time

Which Studios have lead designers in their 20s?

 

[Bragr]

Couldn't agree more.

That half of this board finds them hilarious and posts them in this thread as a "backfire" makes me embarrassed.

This board skews toward 30 and 40-year-olds, and it's obvious that this is a bunch of guys closing in on 50 who don't get the absolute cringe of posting overused GIFs that are created to cater to Fortnite teenagers on Twitter.

 

[TGO]

It's true though.
Even Okay Boomer originated from the late 2000's
And you got Gen Z saying it to Millennials & Gen X....
And Bruh is from the early 2000's too and you got people saying it now like they just discovered it.
The new generations have no identity of their own.
Other then being sensitive little bitches and entitled.

You think making animated gifs is a major studio decision? Stop, there’s only so much stupid I can take from one poster.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Another reason why the first few ones were fun, is because none of them are even remotely as good as the originals, so the bit of videogame jank added to it; now they are just trying to remake every gif in existence and they just look like shit.

 

[Georges Chiellins]

I think they are hilarious.

Same here.

Yep, very much "how do you do, fellow kids" level of try hard.

 

[sainraja]

It's not that serious. Who cares....what is the point of being so bothered by it? There is plenty of shit on the internet ignoring all the meme gifs.

 

[BennyBlanco]

It would be one thing if it was fans doing it, but it being some corporate mandate for every sony game makes them cringe.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

There it is

I am an Xbox gamer, and a Playstation gamer. I have no dog in the console war.

It's just a thought, its a gaming forum, posting my gaming thought. Everything posted isn't an existential issue. just something cringe.

 

[Punished Miku]

These meme gifs that Sony obviously tells their studios to do arent cool. It's comes off as 40 something executives having their developers make gifs to appeal to "the youth" and completely misses the mark. At most you'll get mid late 30smth facebook dads sharing it but yea, they aren't cool.

I think they're pretty nerdy and I haven't used them. But I don't hate it or anything. Kind of funny that the studios put in the time for it. It's a little unique thing they do. I don't see any harm.

I did not know they were from Sony. That kind of puts a small damper on the fun. Now I'll just see marketing.

 

[Gudji]

I really dislike gif replies. Almost always a giveaway that the poster has a limited mind.

 

[TonyK]

What? I love them. Please, more. Also, I wish Microsoft and Nintendo did the same.

I get a chuckle out of some of them. Of all the things to get riled up about lol

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Nintendo should stop making games.

I don’t use the switch. It’s cringe, flimsy, and wack.

Nintendo should listen to me. Im hip.

If anything this thread proves the opposite.

Best one. I love Big Lebowski so when I saw this GIF I nearly died of laughter.

 

[Fredrik]

Had no idea that Sony themselves did these. But I don’t like them and don’t use them so

Almost made it through 2022 without agreeing with Ezekiel on something.

You ruined it OP.
