Remedy CEO Tero Virtala hinted that the Vanguard multiplayer project will have to find a way to solve the 'content treadmill' issue in co-op.
Insider Gaming sits down with ExoCross creative director Paul Coleman to talk about the game's development, features, gameplay, and more.
In an era dominated by digital downloads and streaming services, the importance of physical media in gaming remains a topic of discussion.
Of course, Nintendo has always preferred physical sales, especially since they skew to a younger audience, and kids want games for their birthdays and holidays. They go to the store and pick the game they want.
Since the Wii they have always been the last major publisher to support modern tech or concepts, and they will be the last to support physical if it ever goes away. Which I hope it doesn't.
Nintendo just likes sales in general. If they can sell digital more, they would because the 2nd hand market they do not get a cut of. For me, i tend to buy more physical switch games than I do other platforms. I do have my fair share of digital deals from the eshop though. Especially if its something that i have a sealed physical copy of and dont want to reduce its value.
OK, but you need better format where these games could actually fit instead of half of the game being in physical form and all I have being on a digital code or have to download
The one caveat with cartridges. If the leaks are true the internal storage stands at 256gb plus SD card support too.
You could have a 256gb card and a 10gb card. Publishers will simply use the 10gb one and make you download the rest.
There are cards that can fit all of a game but those cost more, and publishers are cheap. It's weird cause with how much the switch has sold and how long it's been on the market the costs to manufacture these cards should've been much lower by now. It's a publisher issue cause there has only been very few exceptions on PS and Xbox, rest of the industry would rather force a download despite Blu-ray being cheap.
Your right. It's definitely a publisher issue. From my time collecting that's what I've come across. Just always remember

Tell you everything you need to know about releases.
Pretty sure most, if not all, of Nintendo first party titles are all on cartridge. It’s the third parties.
Yeah it artificially retains the high prices for their software. Hence Pirates will always have their day with them.
Supergiant Games' Studio Director, Amir Rao, has said that he's worried about some unbalanced boons in-game, with nerfs coming soon.
They want to be the remedy?
Well you can take several Qs from warframe. Think I have over 10,000 hours put into that game. Obviously some things should be different if you're going to charge for your game.
It never used to be hard to make a good co-op game, but developers have completely forgotten how to not only make a co-op game, but how to make them fun. I still have more fun playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and left 4 dead 2, than I do almost any co-op game made in the last 10 years. Even Socom: combined Assault had a better co-op experience than most games of today.
The last half descent co-op experience I had, was when I was playing Ghost Recon; Wildlands, and before that, it was probably Borderlands 1 & 2. Gaming in general is in a really bad spot these days. Everything that comes out is built around farming and grinding for loot. I just don't get how people could be so brain dead to waste their time with games like that, and that includes Destiny, which is the biggest waste of time, yet, somehow, it still exists. I'm sure the lemmings will jump right over to D***Riders when that comes out too.
