VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "Sony and 2K Games have both already made the first steps towards $70 base price for games, with titles like Demon's Souls, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and NBA 2K21 all costing that much. While other game companies have mostly remained silent on the topic, you can bet they're watching very closely at how those games perform on the market at that price point. If they prove successful, expect other companies to follow suit, increasing pricing to supposedly offset the rising costs of game development. There are just three problems with that basic premise to begin with."
With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond
PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?
Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.
GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.
But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.
Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.
Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.
I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.
You might not be able to believe this, but Dark Souls is a pretty tricky game on the PlayStation 3.
There's no better way to enjoy your PS5 than with friends, so here's our picks of the best co-op games on the console.
Good article. Game prices never needed to increase, the money isn't going towards development or developers and it isn't going to get rid of microtransactions or other scummy business practices. It was purely about game companies seeing an opportunity to test the waters with next gen, and the sad thing is it'll probably work.
Well we don’t know if Microsoft is taking this same approach because they don’t have any exclusive next gen games set to release until 2024. So we won’t know until then
It's been said often in past article that the 70$ price tags come from market research that showed that PPL were expecting to pay more and wanted to pay more for a video game so companies will suit themselves.
Now all the argument brought by the gaming industry for the needs of price Increase has been debunked.
The CEO's of Activision, Take Two, Ea, ect all got huge bonus in the last couples of years due to the large profit made.
Monetisation will still be there and it's still bringing huge amount of cash.
2020 will probably be one of the best year for video games due to Covid 19.
Just quit gaming you tightarses.
