Poli games host Joseph, gives his first impressions of Overwatch. Blizzard's first attempt at a first-person shooter. Blizzard is known for their series like World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, Heroes of the Storm, and Hearthstone. Will this game be Blizzard's next big IP?
Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.
According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."
My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
PlayStation Plus has improved the split of PS4 and PS5 players on its priciest tiers, but Sony continues to hide total subscriber numbers.
I for one will be going back to essential at the next renewal. When I feel a game is good & right up my alley, I’ll check trusted reviews & just buy it.
I would like to see Sony add a fourth tier of PS Plus for people who just want to be able to play games online without any of the perks like monthly games, store discounts, or anything like that, and it should cost $20 annually, $30 maximum. There’s no way I’m paying $80 just to play games online. Even the original $60 fee was too much, and I would often wait for sales to re-up my subscription.
Just let my subscription lapse for the first time since 2010. Will sub again every now and then for a month or so to access my old ps+ games but for me it's the end of an era.
Let those numbers continue to drop because it is now too expensive. $80 per year just to play online. I noticed they didn't offer any discounts on the subscription or controllers during this year's days of play for the first time in many years and they will feel it when people choose not to renew.
My subscription will lapse next month and it will stay that way until further notice.
How is everyone enjoying the Overwatch Beta so far? I'm loving it! Right now my favorite character has to be Junkrat, because i'm a terrible person. Who's you're favorite character, if you have one?
Great beta
The game's a lot more addicting than I thought it would be, I'm hooked.
The beta is pretty awesome so far my favorite characters are phara and tracer but I'm willing to try other characters loving it so far.
I hope it's the next big thing, watching the story of overwatch on the gamespot youtube channel, it's refreshing to see that their inspiration for Overwatch was games like Half Life DM, Action Quake, Team Fortress. For me, the fun element seems to have gone from most FPS games nowadays, it's all about stroking that k/d e-peen, for something like Overwatch to come around where it's literally 100% teamwork based, is such a welcomed change, it'll definitely be in my rotation of games that I frequently play that's for sure.
