On this final episode for 2017 Kiaun will discuss how many Nintendo Switch units were sold world wide,new characters coming to Street Fighter 5,BattleField Bad Company 3 releasing in 2018 possibly,when the Monster Hunter Beta will return,Nintendo Power is making a "comeback". This and much more in this episode.
Nexon has released its financial statement for 2024's first quarter, and it looks like FPS The Finals isn't proving the hit the studio was hoping for.
The market for games like this is too over saturated to make a dent in other established games' player counts. Trying to start all over with a whole new multiplayer meta and grinding to get better is not feasible when there's already a ton of similar games that have come out before it.
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
A renowned industry insider has suggested the rumored PlayStation May 2024 showcase featuring Silent Hill 2 could happen this week.
Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.
Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.
Going in with no expectations but likely will see something that resonates with me.
Nah they will announce it probably, but it won't happen right away soon though yes.
I think games should be shown 1 year from their projected release date.However, sometimes I like the company's teasing us a little. Microsoft PR post E3 2017, may have benefited from the company announcing some titles slated for late 2018 or even 2019. That is assuming MS has several non-"big 3 titles" that aren't announced.
Thank you for the feedback, I'll be sure to read this on the podcast.
I understand the need for 'teasers' but too many times there have been teaser announcements that end up being canceled for reasons such as funding or studios losing development staff or just... the publisher didnt like how it was progressing.
They do these announcements to show the fans they have stuff coming but it really sucks when they announce stuff years ahead of when they should. Personally it should be 2 years prior to release is when they announce new project and then the following year they can showcase actual game play that people will be able to play as it gets closer to release. The projects could be in development for 3, 4 or 5+ years but don't announce anything until 2 years from release.
I think that is how Sony is doing it. Horizon had been in development for several years but wasnt announced until a couple years before release.
