Downloadable Content Allowing Developers To Slack Off?

PSXE writes: Back in the late '90s, while I loved all kinds of gaming - including the awesome PC software of the time - I always despised the idea of patches for games. It finally got to the point where if a shoddy game released, I'd have friends who would say, "eh, they'll just patch it," and not give it a second thought. I always remember thinking, "uh...shouldn't you be pissed that they sold you a broken game?"

no, DLC is allowing Developers to scam its fans and consumers (see Namco Bandai with SCIV, and Capcom with RE5 and SFIV.)

All Hopes I Had For A Prey Sequel Have Been Crushed — Well Done, Microsoft

The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.

RaidenBlack18h ago

well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3

Not even this Prey

Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy

The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.

MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well

Yui_Suzumiya1h ago

Yeah, that's who was going to do the original sequel.

Came here to say this, my hooes for a Prey sequel died when this "Prey" came out

LostPotato17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.

Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.

RaidenBlack12h ago

lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea

To everyone who cheered MS’s acquisitions, we told you so…

Helldivers 2 Star Wars Mod Looks Pretty Insane

Star Wars is coming to Helldivers 2, unofficially that is, as a new mod revamps in-game models and sends players to a galaxy far, far, away.

Would It Have Even Mattered If Redfall Were Good?

Even if Redfall were a good game, the closure of Hi-Fi Rush proves even that doesn't matter in the industry.

Yeah it would have mattered especially since their huge game that year wasn't all that it was cracked up to be remember redfail was almost heavily promoted and hyped not to the level of starfield but still more promoted than the average game.

There was still a decent marketing campaign behind the game I'm sure millions were spent advertising it on websites and I saw a few billboards and bus stop signs in real life

No it wouldn’t matter it wouldn’t bring in enough profit to offset their 100 billion dollar acquisition. It would maybe delay the inevitable by some months.

I would f*cking think so. Good games are what draws people to your platform. It’s why I adored the 360 era with Gears of War being one of the highlights for me. You make sh*t games and it just makes your platform that much worse and you start gobbling up studios I like and then killing them off it also makes me hate your platform as well… just sayin’

Unless the game would’ve been War Zone, or Fortnite level. No. Maybe even Hell divers 2 I doubt would’ve been enough.

Exvalos4h ago

No it would not have, the ABK deal was great for Microsoft but horrible for Xbox. Over 100 billion dollars in acquisitions. That money has to be made back. That ABK deal essentially destroyed Xbox as we know it.
