From GI.biz: "Outer Wilds is sometimes described as an experimental game, with players piecing together the game's narrative by reliving a solar system's last 22 minutes again and again. While that experimental streak has been recognized in the game itself -- the Innovation Award is just one of five GDC Awards Outer Wilds is in the running for this year -- developer Mobius Digital has been similarly experimental in how it's brought the game to market."
On 16 May, the long-awaited release of the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima took place. And the game proved to be a great success on the first day.
Is this going to be the new thing thing? Articles about Steam reviews? Which of course was in response to the false article about the review bombings in the first place.
Sony has also launched the PSN Store "Weekend Offer" this May 17, and this one includes a lot of AAA titles, and 2K-published games.
Some good games but they are all old and should be a lot cheaper than what they are on that sale. Hard pass.
The Epic Games Store has a GOTY Edition, AAA title they want you to add to your library.
Co-creative lead Loan Verneau:
"We're on Game Pass for Xbox, and it's been really awesome because I think it's brought a lot of players to the game who would not have known about it otherwise," he says. "So I think that's been a big shift. The same way it's changed the TV and movie worlds, the subscription system is also going to impact the game industry very significantly. We're starting to see that, and starting to see it maybe unlock the market to weirder things and more original things that would have been more risky beforehand."
Gamepass, loved by gamers AND developers.
A gamer who cannot afford some of the expensive games out there can now do so with gamepass
Why not just advertise the smaller indie developers more when you open the store or on the gui? Why do they need to be in a service?
Seeing it for free and a demo for the games is better than paying monthly just to browse.
Outer wilds is fucking awesome. Hope there will be a sequel <3
I'm pretty sure these developers get a pretty penny upfront and a small residual bonus up to a certain point and probably another bonus depending if they reach a certain monthly or quarterly number. It's nothing wrong with Michael soft and Sony trying this is scription Base Service out but the issue is how many games get released at a time.
We will see more games in the future with higher-quality DLC and built for longevity.
