Lorne Lanning still believes that despite the recent improvements, self-publishing on Xbox One is not on par with Steam or PlayStation.
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.
I always get confused by this, but is 72k good sales numbers for a game? I keep seeing games fail at selling 2.5 million and that they need to be on multiple platforms but is an additional 72k adding much?
Mecha Party brings the VR MOBA to Europe and Asia on PSVR 2 and Steam, while the Quest 3 version targets a summer release.
This looks pretty good. RIGZ made me queasy but I've got better VR legs now (I think).
This article explains how to link your Steam and PlayStation Networks accounts, which is becoming a must for Helldivers 2.
Remember when Microsoft promised " every X1 is a dev kit" to break the Sony momentum ?
Well.
"The parity clause is a problem for indies. It’s something you might want to play with triple-A guys, but if you say, “If you’re not simultaneous on our system, you can’t release,” well, okay? You’re more concerned about your competition with Sony than you are about delivering great games at good prices to your customers."
jeez. I hope ms can change their ways because the parity clause that they have always enforced is becoming more and more transparent. Its not winning them any fans, and more importantly, not helping them beat playstation at the moment.
Just another day at M$ office...
As a resident x-bot, I couldn't agree more. The parity clause really needs to go. Get rid of it and you'll still see parity on 95% of games releasing anyway, whilst still keeping the small studios who can't dev for multiple platforms at the same time happy.
Sort it out Microsoft. I believe in Phil Spencer.
Sure get rid of the clause, but also throw out free development kits, advertising, and promotion.
