"March 2017 is here and now that both Microsoft and Sony have announced what games you’ll be getting for free via Games With Gold and PlayStation Plus it’s time to look at which is offering the better value for gamers."
As part of previously-announced layoffs, Take-Two Interactive is closing Intercept Games and Roll7.
I loved Rollerdrome and was looking forward to a Rollerdrome 2. 😐
Don't want to be melodramatic but as far you can be upset over video-game news ... bit heartbroken.
I feel like there's a trend of well made games like this going largely ignored by the gaming audience. It's quite frustrating. I hope the devs form a new studio but I suppose they'd have to start again from scratch.
Olliolli 2, olliolli world and rollerdrome are some of my favorite indies of all time. This industry is disgusting lately.
I loved Olli Olli.
I wanted to like Rollerdrome a lot more than I actually did. Shame about the studio though
Gravemaster writes: "Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire is a successful franchise, but it hasn’t had much luck when it comes to video games. Many were released, but only the one from Telltale games received more or less recognition and it was cancelled after one season anyway. Now, we have news of another Game of Thrones game in development."
The first 3 or 4 seasons were brilliantly written, then the writers ran out of steam.
Maybe that's what Larian is working on? Or even better, an isometric Witcher CRPG like BG3, a man can dream.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth publisher Square Enix has declared a $140m loss based on a shakeup of its internal development pipeline.
What are they doing over there? Sounds like they canceled something big. I read a rumor a while back about ff9 remake . Here "Final Fantasy IX has gone through a very challenging development, the game is still in progress but may undergo changes drastic enough that we won't hear about it for a couple of years."
This could be one of the reasons if the rumor is true. That was Silknight i don't know how credible he is but it's something and it would make sense.
The industry implosion is continuing. Sky high budgets, prolonged development windows, stagnant sales numbers, and falling currency values (inflation) are wreaking havoc on the legacy industry. AAA games will slowly become the rarity.
Both offer some good games this month. Great for those who own multiple platforms!
Who cares? Remember people your paying for the ability to play multiplayer really. Have been since the original Xbox, or PS4 with sony. Sony just started the monthly game idea as a way to get people to pay, and signify that it was coming.
They may try to offer better value, but at its core its to play multiplayer.
GWG destroys PS+, if you're looking for past AAA experiences, as usual.
PS+ wipes the floor with GWG, if you want indie experiences, this month, as usual.
Same old, same old.
At this point, does it even really matter who's "free games" are better? I doubt people base their decision to buy a console based on what games Sony or MS decide to give away for free each month.
