The Guardian Writes:
It's a dog-eat-dog world in the technology jungle. For the best part of two years, Apple's iPhone has had the top end of the smartphone market to itself. But then along came the Palm Pre, which has had a very favourable reception from the geek crowd, and is a much more polished product than early versions of the Android (aka Google) phones. Personally I thought it unlikely that the Pre would seriously challenge the Apple product, but it seems that Steve Jobs & Co are taking no chances.
You can clear your wanted levels in Star Wars Outlaws by defeating the death troopers.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 has received a substantial visual upgrade, and we've put together a comparison that shows the improvements.
Why market something that isn't designed to be sold?
This has GP rental written all over it.
They just posted a 20+ minute video about Psychosis and how the game portrays that through Senua.
Regardless of what Microsoft is doing (retweeting Ninja Theory is about as low effort as it gets, and Dashboard Dynamic Themes should've come months ago), Ninja Theory themselves are at least trying.
It's sad though. That new video was a really good behind-the-scenes too, and it just came at such a bad time.
How much marketing do games really need these days? People that play games know when its coming out. I really think the days of the constant tv ad etc are going the way of the Dodo. What scares me more is the lack of "previews" on big video game websites, it only got a few on April 4th and then nothing since.
It appears Sony is making changes to the PSN backend in order to pave the way for future cross-platform releases across PC and PS5.
If sony want their games to be more successful on pc and to sell more they need to bring the games day-one like helldivers 2! , and not after 2 years.
If it's first party (can't speak on Helldivers) then the PS5 should be focused on first in my opinion rather than worrying about 2 versions.
Nixxes takes completed code and ports that to PC. I'm sure they do work during primary development but I like this setup.
PS5 owners are treated as first class by their platform holder, PC players get the final complete version, and GaaS are treated separately. Win-win.
First party ps5 games need to be ps5 only until 6 months imo because they need to sell consoles still and then focus on PC later.
This makes sense, just now doing it shows how behind and short-sighted regarding PC they were to begin with.
I'm already not buying a PS5 Pro or PS6 and it isn't day one, They are already damaging themselves.
sometimes, Apple is like a boxer who goes into the ring swinging punches but cries when it's opponent hits back.
This is pretty funny.
He raises a good point about a possible lack of tangible products in the Microsoft stores. Something tells me MS has penned a deal with HP or someone and they'll be pimping real PC hardware by the time their stores launch.
If I were Mark Shuttleworth I'd buy some retail space adjacent to the Apple and MS stores in Times Square and open an Ubuntu store. Just to screw with 'em.
But Microsoft is just smart than them...And Apple is allways crying now...^^
Lets see how Apple will react to Windows 7 Launch.
If an iTunes update stops me syncing with my Blackberry Storm then I stop buying from iTunes and go to Amazon.
