With PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds now firmly at the top of Steam's most played games list, there is only two records left to beat - all-time peak player count and total hours played. While the former will fall in due time, the later record is just around the corner.
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."
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.
Danish from eXputer: "The Witcher's upcoming sequel needs to overhaul the series' combat system if it wants to make a big splash among gamers."
after what we see ( 2015 - 2024 ) in dark souls 3, blood borne , sekiro , dragon's dogma 2 , rise of the Ronin combat they should really careful and bring very good combat in Witcher 4 this time
Wonder if this game will do better than the new Call of Duty, Battlefield 5, and Star Wars Battlefront 2 on consoles?
Yeah, but will it be able to maintain it's user base as long as DOTA 2 has?
Does N4G have a marketing deal with Bluehole?
PUBG will find success on console but it will never reach COD-level success. Overwatch is a perfect example of this. Extremely popular on PC but on consoles it’s still way behind games like COD or Destiny.
Games like PUBG, which are made with PC-first, they never find extraordinary success elsewhere. Games on console needs be designed around console controllers and large TV screens. I’m sure Microsoft will help PUBG adapt but it will still be an uphill battle for the devs.
Glad to see a game like this succeed. It is a fun, tense game. Looking forward to playing some more, and I will be getting the Xbox version as well.
