@RamboMike Really? I am sure everyone was mad about bluepoint closing, for example. Everyone was mad about japan studio and studio liverpool too. I don't recall anyone being happy about closed sony studios here, but i suppose you read more comments. 😅
Jokes on them... lots of other titles also moved to that window.
Now they will have to deal with the likes of FF7 part 3, Fable, Exodus, Tomb Raider, Persona 4, Stranger than heaven (Yakuza team game) and RE Veronica instead.
This is excellent news and i hope nintendo does the same. I am sick of this slop making me scroll until i find something worthwhile. I get that Xbox is desperate enough that they will keep them.
When saying a worldwide brand, it's difficult to not think about Wipeout or F-zero.
I would like to say Rollcage, but i think Grip is about all we will get.
Either way, they might be propping up what is a small brand.
Until the next CEO that knows F all and wants to jump into the newest trend.
That... Jim Ryan not only hurt the business, he pushed out people who understand games. So, things are not as peachy as before by just realising what the core strength was.
Bring back Yoshida and Shawn Laiden. 😑
I tend to not even remember random no name trailers on these presentations.
If it's not a known IP or developer/publisher, i assume vaporware until proven otherwise.
I mean... there is no point until the prices come back down. The steam box is a digital base ps5 without controller for over 1k dollars/euros. Playstation has the more powerful pro on the market for a cheaper price.
To release something more powerful we may be looking at way north of that.
There is no point. Better to keep making bank on the ps5/pro.
Playstation's model is not a deluxe item with low sales. Steam can afford that by not producing much and still have their platform on every PC. Sony depends on those console sales to build a userbase.
Sorry, but i agree with this as someone who saw his niece grow with mental issues cause of these toxic pits. I am totally in favor and i don't think it will affect gaming at all. If anything, it will help as kids will have more time to game instead of engaging in idiocy.
The rally racing scene is on life support though, much to my dismay.
I hope the new WRC is decent. But, there is much in the air with the Nacon troubles and being a new studio.
On that note, i wish SEGA made a Daytona USA and Sega Rally collection.
I guess they are gonna jettison everything except Bethesda game studio, CoD, Forza, and Blizzard/King cause they make big money. I would say the Gears and Halo developers are not safe either.
I am sure this will add much value to the platform. 😂
There are only a few methods to achieve this. Either invest in growing BGS so they can develop 2 games at once or make Obsidian a satellite developer of theirs. Either way, there is no guarantee that it will be the same games.
People like to say X years since the last game in a series. But, they are a 1 team developer. When they chose to make starfield those durations were gonna increase massively.
Back when they only did elder scrolls, of course games came out more often. Then they added Fallout and then they added Starfield and it snowballed.
This looked much better than the Switch 2 version that is for sure. With that said, i am afraid this still looks very early. To a point where it doesn't look like they made much progress at all. I hope to be wrong. But i don't see this coming out before 2028.
@Areus The first one could be done easily and might even happen cause they just ported it to mobile. GW2 is a different beast and is not very well optimised. Devs also said that the engine can't be ported and it's not gonna happen. Either way, this is fine cause GW3 is a prequel and no knowledge of earlier games set in the future is required.
Also, can we celebrate the end of the Gaas era? Aside from ongoing established ones, i didn't see much of them.
Seems like the fad finally died down after all the duds.
Though now we are in the survival horror era. So many of them!
Part of me is sad that the scene with Claire storming Umbrella HQ is not gonna be a thing any more, but i understand why.
Also, is that Hunk? Here i thought Ada killed him for the G virus sample. Haha...
@ear__wig It will totally have 3rd person. It's hard to say if the first person is something they will offer or if it was just to keep the revelation a mystery until the end.
@Jireland92 Yes. It is somewhat odd. They seem to be passing the game as a kind of RE V (5).
Same naming convention from Village and Requiem.
But surely they will still call RE5 a remake when that comes out. Unless they decide to veer from the co-op entries.
They can also just remake RE5 in such a way to be quite different and call it RE VI... and we all forget RE6 happened. 😂
There are less games. Their output has been awful cause of Jim the cow Ryan that put all studios working on failed GaaS projects that have either bombed or been cancelled. This is the result of disastrous management. It wasn’t any change on the market. It was following fads instead of playing to your strengths.
Yeah... fewer but better and evergreen is actually preferable, thank you.
Either way, people got to understand it would apply to new games and not old ones. So, these options would be part of the coding process. It really isn't that hard if it's done with it in mind from the offset.
This is gonna end badly. There is no way they will stop multiplat releases and advertising their products on a big event is important.
The Xbots don't get that the best they can get is timed exclusives and that Xbox depends on other platforms to generate revenue.
This will either end with more shambles for the Xbots or a closed division. I know that no matter what she says Asha will have to stay the course or be out of a job.
The only problem i have with the game is that it's too much. If i kept playing the game i wouldn't play anything else. Also, cause it's a bit directioneless and the quest markers can be wonky. It's still an amazing game though.
Was curious to have seen the previously announced one. The new one looks ok, i guess. I like the new species, it's original. I am sure it will be fine. But, i was looking forward to the darker title. Oh well... it's versus 13 all over again, i guess.
I am not a player or fan, but i will say that letting go of your userbase is a mistake. They may not return.
An announcement of Destiny 3 would only be logical in order to keep the fanbase hooked and looking to the future.
This is a dropping of the ball not only of Bungie but of Sony. These were the people with live service know-how?! Lol!

Could've been worse. It will get much worse soon with microsoft studios.
Re: Bungie Boss Gone After 'Significant' Layoffs at Sony Studio
It still leaves the studio with a workforce comparable to insomniac. They can still become a multi game studio.
I hope things turn around.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth Sales Seemingly Spike After Revelation Reveal
It's to be expected. It finally completes the game.
I bought the games, but i haven't started them yet cause i don't like cliffhangers.
Now, i have the complete experience waiting for me soon.

Re: Xbox Wants Faster Fallout, Elder Scrolls Games to Bolster Business
It's not that easy. Todd is very hands on.

I cannot imagine their next system will sell any better than the series line did.
Re: Kingdom Hearts 4 Magically Returns in New PS5 Gameplay Trailer
@DartLOD That's nonsense. KH3 is great. The only issue was how the ending was rushed, but they fixed it with the remind dlc.

New translation and voice acting, which means there is no more excuse to not bring the ps2 entries stuck in japan.
