Playrise Digital considering Silverstone and open wheel cars for TTR World Tour

The TTR World Tour Silverstone DLC pack would feature the four official SIlverstone courses, and of course open wheel cars to race around the iconic British circuit: "We'd want to add open wheel racers to it (fun not simulator, but slip streaming etc, we'd leave weapons on of course too)"

Ambitious dream but sorry you don't make good RPGs. Just online co-op shooters.

Not yet, but they can grow. Sounds like that's the plan. They have a new CEO this week as well. I can see they pushing helldivers 2 to other consoles, Mac and even high end mobile devices. The game could become a global force and sony can rack up their MAUs.

Sure for Helldivers. Surprised Sony doesn't put Helldivers 1 on mobile.... but in reality, I think Arrowhead is talking about creating original IPs that they own. What I question is how they will do this (while remaining multiplatform) without expanding. For HD2, Sony contributed a lot. If they do this by themselves, they are going to hire more people (which isn't a bad thing as long as its sustainable). I love that they are trying to 'stay small' but even when looking at HD2, you get the feeling that they were woefully underprepared to deal with the success they had. Even to today, it takes too long to get bugs addressed.

Another story said that players had stopped playing because of lack of new content. We have know about the new factions since launch but one doubts that they have the internal resources to get new content added at the pace they need to. If they are looking for the kind of success they claim, they need to invest in the resources that will allow them to attract and keep as many players as possible.

They could start by putting any kind of story into their games and ditching the BS of "but we have a game master to direct your irrelevant actions".

Being the new Blizzard in neither a compliment or a good thing.

When the Blizzard symbol appeared on a title, it used to mean quality. Starcraft, Diablo, Warcraft...I think that's what they're referring to.

Yeah I remember those days as well.

Not if those games are going to be GaaS.
