Web videos are turning into the preferred way to drop news about a new game. That’s why Meteor Entertainment has teamed up with gamer video network Machinima to promote Hawken, a highly anticipated free-to-play online game coming this December.
Expect the game to only work offline right now.
As we trend ever deeper into a world of games that require servers maintained by the developer or publisher, we see more and more games disappearing from the world. What happens when these games are shut down? What does it take for a game to survive beyond this point?
I was going to say that. Lol!
Actually, "Just ask Atari where ET is."
But basically the same joke.
Most modern games that have online components like destiny rely so heavily on co op between players that even if you had a full disc version popping it in and playing won't be a fun experience as you can't play the actual game after hitting a wall with difficulty levels of they even boot
But classic titles like vice city will still be the same in 2049 as they were in 2001 provided you play on a disc not stripped down digital versions that have the soundtrack cut out ten years later
Following on from the removal of its entire library of videos, Machinima is closing, owners Otter Media confirmed to Deadline late last week. The site reports that 81 employees have been laid off as part of the move, which Deadline confirmed via a WARN report filing.
