This is not going to go away. EA is pushing forward. Sony will have to give in eventually and use now for exclusives from previous gems. EA, Activision and Ubi, are going to want make money off their own used games. This seems like the best way to control that market. It gives gamers a deal that is palatable

Looking forward to playing NFS Rivals. I passed on the title as was a bit burned out (no pun!!) with NFS games - but not going to argue with having it to download for 'free'.

theRell3539d ago

Same here. Even resisted the more recent temptation of $25, happy I did.

IrishSt0ner3539d ago

I was going to wait a little while longer but may as dive in now. NFS, Madden, Peggle, NHL all for £30 with more likely to come. Mainly to show support for the service. Many of the games from the 3 big publishers for around £100 per year would be a sweet deal... already paid that for BF4 w/ premium alone.

Yeah I have the service, I feel like I already got my money's worth and as they keep adding games then the bang for your buck only gets better. Glad it's rolling out in more contries. I like more choices, I imagine if all the major devs offered such a subscription I would save tons of money by only buying my most wanted games day 1 but instead of spending 30-40 on discounted games that I wasn't interested enough to buy early for $60, then I have access to a large variety of games now for about $150 a year from 5 publishers instead of the $300-$350 a year I spend on secondary games that I dont buy day 1. That's basically how I view this, my main problem is time to play 'em all. Lol

IrishSt0ner3539d ago (Edited 3539d ago )

Yea exactly this, there's lots of games I'd be more than happy to wait for 6 months to a year on a subscription based service. Would drastically reduce the amount I spend too.

Aye man finding the time is hard, I already have a backlog to complete on XBO, buying EA access will only increase that (then there's all the games this fall) but worth it to promote the idea imo.

All Hopes I Had For A Prey Sequel Have Been Crushed — Well Done, Microsoft

The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.

RaidenBlack16h ago

well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3

-Foxtrot15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

Not even this Prey

Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy

The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.

RaidenBlack10h ago

MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well

isarai7h ago

Came here to say this, my hooes for a Prey sequel died when this "Prey" came out

LostPotato15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.

Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.

RaidenBlack10h ago

lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea

Persona 5 Royal is my top 10 game of all time. A true masterpiece.

Barlos6h ago

Same here. Not only is it one of my favourite RPGs, it's also one of my favourite ever games. I keep coming back to it time and time again.

CrimsonWing692h ago

4.8? This game is literally one of the best modern JRPGs. I’d give it the perfect score.

TheGamer Writes "The tennis sim is as good as ever, but is lacking basic features that make this worthwhile at this stage."

The gameplay is fantastic. Not sure what can be more important then that?

HankHill7h ago

I like how one of the cons is that it's the only tennis game on the market. What does that have to do with the game?
