A new Bioshock is reportedly in development at 2K games, but the franchise needs to have a pretty drastic change in order to remain relevant.
By putting Black Ops 6 on Game Pass, Microsoft plans to gauge its growth, pricing, and monetization changes, at the cost of less game sales.
If they have follow up games that are bangers, then this strategy will work. But if it’s Call of Duty followed another dead period then it won’t last.
When the game does not hit 1 Billion in revenue in under two weeks they will wonder why and the next thing you know; Season Updates will no longer be free.
subscribers go up, execs celebrate win, get bonus, price goes up, subscribers go down,
execs dont care, got their bonus,
If it works CEOs and shareholders get a payday and if it doesn't even more studios get closed by MS so CEOs and shareholders get a payday.
It will sell on PC & PS but as long as COD is for rent on Gamepass it will not sell well on the XB platform. Most folks such as myself that like COD just for the campaign would rather rent it for that month instead of paying $70 plus tax for the game.
Behaviour Interactive is facing redundancies, with almost 100 people affected, mostly affected in Montreal.
Man this studio got hit with another round? it sucks there know for dead by daylight not saying that its a bad game because its not but because its from 2016 and this team has tossed a game out almost every year sense then but each game got worse and worse sales/notice.

Stuff like this looks like alot of work was done but so few sales this is what no doubt is causing all the layoffs.
January this year they laid off 45 people

Just back to back waves of layoffs.
Finally, the Vietnamese government has officially responded to Steam being blocked in the country.
VPN to buy games, fuck that if it's allowed or not, or just use a VPN and torrent what you can.
If the game is crap then yes there will always be negative feedback it comes with the territory. It's called word of mouth or welcome to the internet. Where the truth about a game comes out really fast whether the game is good or crap. If you can't handle the criticism because of a game then why publish the game. Why should people who never criticized or even played the game be punished? Vietnam has some really screwed up laws block Steam because they don't answer us rule. And going on a witch hunt with Steam please. Where's the proof, where's the evidence of this witch hunt. Somebody is butt hurt and has a Vietnamese Karen leading the witch hunt.
I would like to see a return to the old, creepy factor that the first game had.
the more sequels you make of the same formula
the more difficult it is to top the original classic
From a fan's perspective
they might have to turn the latest entry upside down.
A new director who isn't afraid to implement their own ideas.
satisfying gameplay
great characters and storytelling.
just my 2 cents.
I really want micro-transaction, pay to win, loot boxes, open world, and multiplayer only. I really want to pay 15 times over just to get a semi-usable game.

I want a VR version of the first game.
It has to have soul--not in a convoluted story kind of way, but in a simple yet captivating overall experience. The original Bioshock had that and more. And I hope we get the weapon wheel back. It seems that when devs drop this feature for a more CoD-like approach, their games start to lose their luster. Resistance 2 was also a victim to this unnecessary change if you ask me. We want to be able to experiment with our weapons, you know.
