" Now that Blu-Ray has won the format war against HD-DVD, it's main competitor will be DVD itself. DVDs came into our lives around 1997 making them "old" in the technology world. Before DVDs, there were VHS tapes but the conversion didn't take place overnight. It's going to be similar when it comes from moving to Blu-Ray from DVD."
"When DVDs hit store shelves in the last couple years of the 20th century, VHS tapes did not disappear overnight. There was a gradual shift away from the aging analog tapes to the new awesome (high-def for the time) digital format."
If you're after a powerful midrange processor for your gaming rig, this AMD Ryzen CPU could be your best bet now that it's 35% off.
Deliver Us Mars developer Keoken Interactive has laid off the majority of its staff after struggling to secure funding …
The industry model and standards and who's in place to approve/disapprove have changed ^ what Keoken is feeling now is much like the Mobile burst 15 years ago. Expect more to come out of your own finances. Investors are treating games like movies and now (thank$ a lot for involving yourself hollywood) only the big (and money blind) investors get involved, effectively killing a lot of content that would come out with proper non-gate-kept and/or with incentivized funding.
Sorry but i couldn't care less, Deliver us Mars was as woke game as they come, climate change disaster, all female cast plus only a comic relief indian guy (it takes only 5 minutes into the game for the main female character to say how smart she is compared to the guy), evil white guys, ugly females, then add generic gameplay and puzzles (how many times do you have to cut things with a laser for gods sake), you can't change anything in how the events develop so 0 agency in the story, sub par graphics even while using UE4. So well, go woke go broke, that's how it works.
That stinks but with a 68 average critic rating on their games probably made it difficult for people to invest considering there is a bloat of games getting made these days.
Mat Piscatella of analyst firm Circana has revealed that the PS5 was the market leader in North America for both unit and dollar sales during not only March 2024, but the first quarter of the year as a whole.
Writing on Twitter, Piscatella revealed that spending for video game hardware in February 2024 dropped 32% in comparison to the same period last year, totalling $391 million. In addition, spending for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch each fell a minimum of 30% year-on-year.
What will happen when Sony announce a new Uncharted, Killzone, Tsushima or Horizon ..
Ah yes, Killzone that'll light the world on fire.
I'm joking but I do wish it were likely or more popular.
I'd rather an upgrade over some fps personally. Like a true rpg not some action game with a couple of rpg lite mechanics in it.
To be fair Sony usually know when to let a franchise go dormant, They gave Killzone over 6 different games and it never reached that summit. You end up in a situation like Microsoft if you just keep hammering out Halo and Gears and Forza etc. Microsoft should be smart enough to let them games go.
I thoroughly enjoy my open world games, but highest interest will always be the shooter genre lol it's just something about a good well crafted shooter with lore to it something like the Max payne series
But PS5 and Switch still outsells XBOX embarrassingly even with overall consoles sales decline.
I think this conversion is going to take a lot longer than the tape to DVD conversion did.
but this will be a very long battle.
Actually, its Digital Downloads vs. Blu-ray.
CD 700mb is the best !! lol
i don't know man.
i personally see DVD having long legs. wether as long as VHS' reign was is to be seen.
but its far more convient than VHS while still being simple.
and thats what the general public wants, simplicity. why do you think windows has bigger penetration than linux?
its like buying a car. windows is a semi-steep car that you buy at the car dealer and drive it home. linux you gotta build a car from scratch.
