@Oram77 They still do remakes i am interested on.
But, yes. I am not interested in this.

Look, this is all a matter of perspective. How you define your market determines your competitors. But, in reality, just saying so doesn't make it so.
Microsoft did not succeed on the games market, so they are redefining their market as the market of simply every entertainment people consume. In that market Xbox is competing with the likes of Tik tok, youtube, netflix, disney+, etc. and honestly even every social network.
It's quite frankly, *****.
The consumer that watches tiktok is not necessarely the consumer that consumes games media. So, no Xbox is not directly competing with them, nor is Playstation. Though one can make the case that the markets are competing with each other.
Xbox is just trying to sell themselves as a bigger player, but in that market, they are even smaller than they are on the games market. 🤷‍♂️

No, thanks. Not interested in returning to racoon city without the classics.

Well... the answer is P6 because i am really short on time these days.
I still have to play P3 remake. But, i will likely get P4 remake as well... eventually.

Well... no time like the present.
I'm sure he will have an opening after Physint. Just need to get Sony on board.

The game has smudgy textures on all versions and it performs badly.
That is the main issue.

It's deserved that sales dropped. The game did not deserve the 10m sales it got at the start that it got from goodwill alone.
I have doubts the December patch will fix it, but i remain hopeful. I will otherwise pass on the expansion. I feel burned by this one launching in the state it did for a game that sells so much and has no reason to release like this.

As it stands, Rise sunbreak is the best MH game in my opinion. It is so much fun and it runs like a dream. It's deserved that it's outselling Wilds. It's a better experience.

Lol innovation is to make lots of money. 🤣

That's unfortunate. It would be nice if they could've gotten the games division.
But, i suppose it's all or nothing. All is definitly not a good deal.

I completely agree. AI is not capable of a single independent thought. It's just a mesh of existing data.
AI games will be generic slop. They will be samey and bad cause an AI can't and will never be able to tell what "feel" is. We cannot mathematically put into a machine feelings we feel. We cannot even fully share it abstractly with one another. The machine will only be able to copy what already exists to try and emulate it and if it tries to deviate it can end hilariously wrong. The plagiarism AI. It's all it is.

All AI can do is repetitive and menial tasks that don't require creativity or sense. A "tool", yes. A game creator? Absolutely not.

Good. Honestly, i think it's time the "pro" refresh goes away.
PS5 pro has not matched PS4 pro sales and it seems devs are not especially interested in putting enough resources into supporting it. It's better for everyone if there is only one SKU devs can pour resources into optimising.

@SterlingEyes You said "create". A new vaccine would be a new discovery. I don't think AI can do that. You are confusing it with just computational power. A new vaccine is not a mesh of existing vaccines. There are chemical rules and logic to it's creation, plus interactions we have not yet discovered. Maybe it was just a poor example.
But, my point here being that AI does not have a single original thought. It's plagiarism - the software and it has a lot of errors, which makes it's use in medicine incredibly risky. In an image it's something like confusing a hat for a beard. In medicine that would mean people would die. AI needs a lot of curation and i think it is incredibly overhyped.

I don't think comsolidation has anything to do with it. It's just microsft being greedy.
Xbox put itself on the crosshairs of microsoft investors for doing such a high profile purchase. Now, they want to see returns on that investment yesterday.

They should've done the 3rd party thing sooner and not have bought activision.
They'd be doing much better.

Well... we are waiting. As usual with Bethesda.

@SterlingEyes What are you talking about? AI does not discover things. It just gathers information from what is already available.
They are not capable of a single original idea that isn't a mesh of previously existing ones.

They aren't. That's how.
AI can only do the most menial tasks. It isn't fit for creative work.

Well, it certainly is a bigger success than the VR fad. So, i am not surprised they are changing gears.
It's just sad that the Vita was sacrificed at the altar of VR.

So antiquated, it pushed the Xbox platform into irrelevancy.

This is a game key card at this point.

Yes, it does put me off buying. I'm glad i wasn't interested to begin with.
It's always like this with microsoft. There is always a catch.

They are finally learning that third person is best for action games.

This is sad. He wasn't even 60 yet.

Wow... it looks like a modern take of the sega arcade racer. Surprised to see this.

Excellent idea. Might actually give it a try now.

More devs have to realise that first person is all and good for shooters, but for RPG's and action games it is not.

This is so not the way to make a FF all-star game.
As someone enjoying Fire emblem engage atm, that is a great inspiration for how to make a good all-star game.

Don't we have enough remasters? It's getting ridiculous... ask for a new entry.

They don't need to try. I'm not playing either one. 😆

Yeah... that happens when you raise prices.

I buy several games. I would say at least about 20 a year, but i don't often buy them at max price.

These sales are becoming way too big to bother to browse through. They need to separate games and dlc lists. It's just too much stuff!

@cainhurst94 They could easily carry it just by making more switch 2 editions of their major titles... but heck if they care.

@PuppetMaster I don't agree, but that's ok. I think when you are talking about these cancel timers you are still talking about tiny factions of a second. a 4/60 frames in one second it's 1/15th of a second to get right. That is just too tight for most players. The stuff should be being at least 20- 30 frames (depending on the move ofc). Even that is already tight for the average player.

I mean, it's ok to keep piling up mechanics if you think it makes it better, but you will be losing the average gamers. So, let's hope the hardcore fanbase is enough to keep these games going.

They should cancel that Marathon thing and work on content for destiny. That is the same mistake square did by putting the FFXIV online team working on FFXVI. The content draught was like a creater.

The problem with fighting games is that they throw a million mechanics your way while giving you a list of moves and combos to memorise and get the muscle memory to pull them off.
It's a high entry bar for casual players.
I can see why sf6 easy controls got popular.

My opinion is that the execution barriers must be more generous (bigger cancel timings) and they need to dial down on the mechanics. So, there is less stuff on that mental stack.

I personally love the way tokon looks and am excited to see it. But the amount of mechanics and having to learn multiple characters at a decent level already scared me away. I just don't have the time and interest for that kind of dedication necessary to be decent at the game. I sadly like lots of games and i can't dedicate myself to just one. Gotta keep the ball rolling.

I mean... it's great for fans of the game, but it's awkward cause another AC has come out since.

I don't know if it's cause it was my first game in the series, but there is a character death in this game that stayed with me but is never mentioned again in the series. I feel so sorry about the poor guy.

Stop pretending nintendo doesn't exist. It's utter nonsense.

Didn't even know it was exclusive. 😅

@Weebleman Honestly, i recall this website tried to push Sony to go for the gamepass model and how good it was for Microsoft.
Some of us knew from the start what this was. A bait and switch scheme. Said it from day one and here it is. This was always the plan and i am sad that so many still believe the bs that companies say. Lies are part of communication. Companies are NOT honest. Big ones even more so.
Microsoft never brought anything positive to the market. Everything they have done has been anti-consumer and finding way to squeeze more of our money out for less. Started with online play behind a pay wall which is complete nonsense to this day and it moved to dlc, micro transactions, day one patches and season passes. Everything started on Xbox. After the seal was broken Sony and Nintendo were all too happy to follow suit.
Microsoft leaving the market would be the best thing that could happen to it (read, for the consumer, not the shareholders). But alas, they will at least be third party for quite some time more. Given how they can't manage studios, i imagine it will be a matter of time.

Aha! They couldn't wait anymore. The "switch" from the "bait and switch" finally came.
Make no mistake, this was always the plan. They just hoped to dominate the industry first and give people no choice. So, this is actually the preferable outcome.

There is nothing else to layoff. There was only a small team working on mass effect pre-production. This would mean closure.

We all knew it was coming the moment EA bought them, just like all the others.
The good news is... i think this will end EA for good. Especially when they try to ship AI made FC and F1 games. They scammed the saudi's good.

This goes for every game. 😅
I do want DW10 more than another remaster.

These people just convince themselves that this is the future and that's that. Consumer be damned! This is what we are gonna do.
AI... seriously... i am besides myself on how these people don't see how that is gonna bomb when it comes to creating artistic content.
Also... the whole stream games thing again? I thought we had established that from a connection point of view there will always be lag and it will always be a worse experience than having the hardware at home. Heck even Ps Portal that connects directly to our wifi has delay. Much less connection to a server far away. Clearly Stadia wasn't enough of a bomb to get that one through those skulls.
Oh... while at it, how about some more Live service games? Cause that is working out sooo well.

Well... let's be honest. He is a stock market broker. So, it makes sense that he spreads this nonsense to fool investors and make big bucks. Someone else will have to deal with it when it bombs.

Ah yes... the popular strategy of "if they got lightning in a bottle, we can too!". It always goes well...

I am not sure this is good news. I think the saudi's want FC and F1 and everything else will likely be tossed to the side.
I'm starting to fear that Mass effect 5 will not see the light of day.

On the other hand, I'd love to be wrong and for the saudi's to finance the return of big musmanaged EA IP's such as C&C. Still waiting for the remaster of tiberium sun and red alert 2. 😔

I don't expect much. It's still not an offer i am interested in. Especially without a disc drive and at that price.

@Deljo I think it was fine, aside from the fact that they milked it a bit. But, it was in part cause the actor that played the first Spartacus died.

Anyone wondering why this guy looks familiar. He was the second Spartacus on that show.

I obviously have no interest in this, but having a game called "microsoft" flight simulator in the sony presentation felt weird. Different times we are on.

I really would've prefered the ending to the human revolution trilogy. 🙁

Now, this is more like it! Proper DW!

I'm a bit scared to see the game install size of this game. But, i intend to get it soon, so this is excellent news.
Now just need a sale on those pricy DD wheels.

I love this game. It's one of my all time favorites. But, i have played it several times already. I don't have the time to replay it right now, especially at this price. Which is fine for newcomers, but for someone like me it is not what i am willing to pay for it for the third time.
I do hope it's a success. I will get it on sale. But, most of all i hope they finally make a sequel and for that one, i'll be there day one.
