At one point in time, Nintendo and Square were synonymous in the video game industry. Square had released many of their biggest RPG hits on the Super NES like Final Fantasy VI (or III in the US) and Chrono Trigger. Square was loyal to the Big N in the early to mid 90s until Final Fantasy VII came along.
Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.
RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.
The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.
Tango Gameworks, the developer behind rhythm-based action game Hi-Fi Rush, had been working on 2 games prior to studio closure.
That's for people who said that Ninja Theory would not get closed because they are working on a new game
Founder of Metal: Hellsinger studio says he wasn't against Game Pass until their game launched on Microsoft's service, which affected game sales.
Why did PS copy gamepass if it's so terrible and unprofitable? PS Now was before gamepass but it was streaming trash that no one had any interest in.
And honestly the way the industry releases overpriced and broken games with day one season passes and dlc who wouldn't want to just pay for a subscription instead of $70 per game?
Only biased PS fans would defend paying more to a corporation rather than an option that's cheaper for the consumer overall. If it's from an indie studio that needs the sales that's different but games published by larger companies are fine on a subscription model. Also any of these devs who complain did decide to put their games on gamepass in thr first place.
I feel no sympathy for the guy, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that putting your game on gamepass would affect sales.
The 'day-one' feature is the breaker or maker with GP, business-wise.
GP is no Netflix.
Because, from all the Marvel's Avengers to Sicarios, illustratively speaking, they all had their box office money. Before they had entered Netflix.
This concept shows you what Microsoft have actually put themselves into.
And what situation studios put themselves into if they go day-one into GP.
Why not sell your game the traditional way first? Then after about 6 months to a year put it on a sub service.
Day one on gamepass is a gamble. It works for some (Pal world) and not for others.
...and future justified the instincts of Square ...now Ninty is on the risk of getting out of hardware business denying to be more open and evolve while Square materialized a nearly mythic game which people cry to see a remake and is doing fine
Nice little throwback read. They forgot to close it with, eventually Square came back to nintendo in force with all sorts of games for the DS, 3DS and Wii / U. There is likely to be some switch games as well so obviously the two put aside their differences.
Like the saying goes, time heals all wounds.
Square Enix is way too dumb to even let them have Cloud Strife for Smash Bros to begin with , how can they be so cocky and ungrateful when they have done the impossible .. i mean Cloud Strife being in SSB for crying out loud , he was supposed to be on All-Stars but he wasn't .. and all that in favor for Nintendo
nintendo is a sinking ship!
Square realized this 20 years ago!
Well as the article pointed it out. Nintendo does what it wants. They wont listen to developers or even fans. They make systems for their own needs. It gets them in trouble at times too.
