Just thinking, if prices were reduced by eliminating expensive dialogues/cut scenes it wouldn't be a bad thing because most people skip them to speed through the game anyways, it is a video game after all not a movie.
Saving money from not using high-end graphics isn't bad either because most people get the wow factor for a short period when starting the game for the first time until they put the controller down, have something to eat and just randomly look at the TV again.

Buying Zune, Skype, Nokia, ZeniMax, Activision/Blizzard and creating a big bland black brick of a box like the series X sounds relatable.
It's that time of the year again, like turning off & on the router to get those correct speeds because it was on for way to long, it was social media recently and I can imagine it will be the same for Xbox soon.
I can imagine having the language for this game in either Japanese or Chinese will make the story a little bit better, I did that with the game Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and it changed it up a good bit.
PS5 pro day one, not just for the better performance but for the fact that it was only possible for me to only get the digital version when they were in scalpers hands a couple of years ago, so if the pro has a disc model my nephew can have this original model for free.
No way, I've not watched dragon ball in years but Its crazy to think that it runs through the generations since it came out in 1984, even my grandad enjoyed watching it with me when I was a kid and he was sixty odd years old back then in the 90s.
RIP to that legend, that 9000 power level will get him too the holy gates in no time.
@JP80 Yeah, same but only tried the demo, it has way to much fantasy cheese like characters, visual effects even the music these days compared to Tekken 1, 2, 3 or even up to 5, I suppose it could be a Japanese style type of thing like many other game's but it's just not for me now.
At this point people wanting to get into game development might as well just study/learn/develop mobile games in python with advertisements thrown in & hope for the best. It seems more viable then working for some of these profit driven companies.
Yup, these days I would happily have games that are a bit like Elden Ring in quality, not super graphical but more in depth and creative with gameplay that can be played longer for the price tag instead of what gets released today which can be completed in 30 hours (3days) for 70 beans, Nintendo do ok in that playing field but you know, people are conditioned now, believing that if it is not super graphically intensive it isn't good and it's trash, I had this debate with a friend recently, a super photorealistic looking game in the future will not appreciate over time compared to a game that people can just hop on and have a blast with whilst becoming a staple like Tetris or Pacman (for example), a good percentage of games are just the same now but it's all about the story, cinematics and some Hollywood movie stars voice acting the games now not the gameplay, that's another reason why I stated Elden Ring but hey this what happens when it becomes mainstream, not like when it was a niche for nerds & no one else like it was in the 80s & 90s but here we are now, I'm not going into that dogma.
I like to think that, with what is happening within the gaming industry recently is due to the fact that GTA6 & the Nintendo switch 2 is coming out soon, everyone is going to flock to that game and nothing else, it's really gonna hurt other studios especially if they have a set release date at the same time as GTA6 but that is one of many reasons, I can imagine they have it in mind though and they're getting prepared for the setback.
scrumdiddlyumptious, giving us those old backwards compatible games that Activision has locked away would be sweet, if they're not cloud based on the playstation side of things I will highly thank them for that.
Ridiculous behaviour, I think these people's mum's & dad's never moderated their internet usage when they was younger. An internet time out feature needs to be implemented 😂, especially on twitter.
Just seeing... "sorry, our servers are in maintenance mode" makes me look the other way, sorry but no thank you.
When I bought elder scrolls online awhile back I landed on a serve maintenance day, it wasn't a good start for a new experience, it was the first and definitely the last.
“The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their products,”
Oh well pawn shops it is then, a guy who runs one near me does prices near enough to cex, it is closer to me compared to where my local GAME shop is so it's not much of a loss.
Ridiculous, I like to imagine & explain who these types of people are but it would be a little harsh so all I am going to say its the "mentally special" that need to be constantly supervised.
With the way some companies (LG) are now coming out with dual high refresh OLED monitors at 240/480Hz, 4k/1080p, it would be great if Sony did a nice 32" 4k 144Hz OLED monitor compared to last year which was a 4k IPS panel 27" at 144 (INZONE M9) but plenty of Sony products don't come cheap compared to others so it's hit or miss.
I've come to realise over the years a good top quality call of duty product/game comes out when another game comes out like GTA/RDR or even a Bethesda game.

Elden Ring is a good example in context.
