Facebook said that Sony won the attention war among Facebook users at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the big game trade show in Los Angels. But another tracking company, ListenFirst, says that Microsoft's Xbox event won the most attention, as did the small indie game We Happy Few, when it comes to new Internet searches.
Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.
Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.
Well, to be fair, they did pump out good open world games before. It was used as a template so much that people now know what it means when you say it's like an Ubi open world collectahon.
What though? I can't think of one game they had where I liked anything about it. Atleast since the ps3/360 Gen
I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting
Xbox and EA have recently made baffling moves that define how bleak the future of the gaming industry is with major companies at the helm. Ryan Bates from "Last Word on Gaming" posits in this op-ed that maybe it's not ineptitude, but intention.
Name someone that isn't trying to look us these days maybe cdpr.
Take two, ubi and yes even PlayStation are pushing us to own nothing and be happy with our live service ad injected games on a sub so they can raise prices at will and take access away when they see fit.
If it keeps up I'll be a full time retro gamer and this industry will be crashing hard
As rediculas as it sounds we need government reforms to defend consumer rights
Sony has launched the PSN Store "PlayStation Indies" sale this May 15, and this one is full of smaller titles at a discounted rate.
This game came out nowhere and is amazing.
Reminds me of BioShock meets A Brave New World.
I youtubed it and found some early game footage and it has changed a lot for the good.
Day one buy for me.
Interesting so they both won something , how am i wrong when thats what it says or am i missing something ?
Imagine ms had game first mentality rather focusing on Kinect and tv center bs Xbox will be in much better position. But at least they going back being a game console
Been following this game since inception, so awesome to hear the popularity is growing.
I've known about it since it was first announced. One of the most unsettling games I've seen recently.
