They should have probably remembered cross fire x - while not multiplayer for them, generally tanked as an FPS game. As you say, stick to what you know.
I think like anything, most of the games that have become successful, really wasn't trying to become what they have, sure they wanted success, but I doubt they ever dreamt it would be this popular for them. Sony are constantly chasing it, not leading it. So they will always be behind. They'll be a new invention of game and that will become the next thing, but I doubt it will be someone chasing the pack.
I knew this wouldn't be a remake and be shadow dropped. Remaster sounds about right. Probably the same janky mechanics with a lick of paint. Shame, but more realistic I suppose.
Not a fan of live service personally. I'm sure they will have some kind of success though due to being Bungie and do have some cred in FPS games. Like anything, there is always an audience for a game, it's just wether it can stick in that crowded market.
Teasing? It's just a line. I think people are so much in hope, they will grab onto anything. Obviously I hope it happens, such a quality game. As are all 6-10. I'd love a 6 remake personally. Only played it last year and it's stellar.
I haven't spend full price on a game probably since FF7 Rebirth, I'll probably do the same for GOT. id usually just sell them straight after, quite easily the best way if you want to try more games at full price.
I think the art direction looks interesting. And I'm sure the gameplay will be very good considering the heritage this developer has, but I still don't understand why they would use this name.. could have called it anything and it wouldn't matter.
Makes complete sense, been playing this on the deck since it launched in early access and it's head and shoulders above the original. Quite literally double the size. So they definitely made the right call.
I played Days gone on the deck and it worked very well (very much like RDR2) visually very nice and you do get used to the lower frame rate. I'm sure this will run pretty well.
Always the way. Bigwigs make teams do remakes and live service games and when they fail, they close them down. Typical poor judgement by the higher ups, affecting people's jobs. One of many more due to come id imagine.
I said from day one that this was a bad idea. Anything live service is, such a huge risk as not all games even make a success, and they were banking on it all. They could have employed me as an advisor and would have saved them billions. Haha
The reality is, this is Marvel based. Has a huggggee following already, comparing this with something Sony might release is rather pointless. They'll make a live service game around something that most people wouldn't have a clue about/ it could be a new IP. Marvel has a following of people who aren't gamers, so those fans might shift to the game to just play as all their favourites.
So no, this doesn't mean Sony should continue, maybe they should look at how many have actually been successful.
@rjejr yeah Argos is your typical, order and collect service, everything behind in a storeroom. John Lewis is too expensive and very high end. Think of expensive brands from clothes, house goods e.c.t. so people probably won't mention then unless then have cash to burn. Haha
@rjejr John Lewis are actually very well known for their 7 year electronic guarantees, huge electrical section. EE not so much, but have become very well known due to their add on stance. Buy a phone and add a PS5 for £20pm extra.
So while it's a point, I'd probably not use it with these two. Maybe Very or Argos..
Literally the reason I bought the original Xbox when my playstation broke. But like others have said, it's now a grave of a series. Bungie was the reason it was so good.
I'm sure there's people out there that has them. Why Im not quite sure as of yet. But I can grab one for £800 so they are more readily available here. Still, we are many many years away seeing 8K content. Christ, 4K still isn't even fully adopted.
always a controversial topic.. I think most people will decide based on the game they played first and what generated the most memories for them. I loved the batch of games they released in the 90's, FF7 being my first and will also be my favourite due to those memories, but FF8 is defiantly up there for me, it's completely underrated and probably ahead of it's time back then - most got lost with the story, but if that was released now, it might prove to be more popular. the biggest selling point of FF8 is the music though, such a great score.
Honestly, the only people suffering here are the developers, they all probably knew if would be a difficult sell to the public (considering previous games) it's a very hit or miss style of game in which very few actually become huge hits. Those Devs will most likely be out of a job now due to the big wigs probably forcing them to make it. Just another Rocksteady situation.
When will these VP's learn that no one wants more of these games.
A remake of something would have had more success, and that says alot
Too many hero shooters going on. They would have 100% had a better chance if they decided to use this game, but add a small campaign along with it - i.e Titanfall 2, the first was just MP, but they expanded it and it had more substance. Surely by now, these companies have realised that the majority do not want Gaas...
Great game, I'm not expecting anything drastic here and I'd imagine we could expect a similar game to the original but with spruced up graphics (a bit like the fan remake that was done) I don't think real time would suit the game and it definitely needs a specific type of visual due to the original art style. hopefully it's turn based.
@UltimateOtaku91 as soon as I read this I thought the exact same thing. It's a good approach to semi-open world. Worked well for 16, so hopefully the same here.
I couldn't care less for console superiority and all that rubbish, I still doubt Xbox would be in a better place than playstation just because of these exclusives.. but.. this showcase was miles better than what we have for the playstation, and at least they have some idea of whats coming up over the next few years. Unfortunately (apart from a few games) I have no idea where we are heading currently.. Sony should have done a little better for it's fans for sure, but I suppose with dominance they don't feel the need to.
I do get why it would work with Lego, the whole "remove objects part" but usually this works well with franchises that the game is based on (movie e.c.t) we already have a better more realistic Horizon, so I'm not sure who their target audience is for this one.. if it was made available across the board, switch, xbox e.c.t with cross play, it could work really well and gather a new audience, but closing it to just PS5 and PC just doesnt make sense to me.
Absolutely loved unlimited. Fond memories of flying around Hawaii with my friends. I know people talk about Horizon and this cloning it, but ironically Horizon released after unlimited and took alot of elements from it, having a huge budget and existing fanbase just helped propel that even more. Fingers crossed for this one.

Re: Steam Deck's Install Base Estimated to Be About a Third of PS Vita
Love my deck too. Honestly, just fantastic. I'm surprised they haven't pushed it to other online retailers.
For me, with generic steam content, PS5 cloud streaming and Xbox cloud streaming (and EPIC connections) it's very versatile.
