Gears of War 3 ships this September and will no doubt be one of the hot sellers of the fall/holiday period. As any developer would tell you, however, working on the same property for years can be tiring. It's one of the primary reasons Bungie sought out its independence from Microsoft - to escape from Halo. Epic design director Cliff Bleszinski would very much like to create a new type of game too, if he can get the chance.
Epic Games is facing a $1.2 million fine by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets over "unfair practices" in the Fortnite shop.
It might be cheaper to simply pay the fine. Fighting said fine could cost millions due to court and lawyer fees. Fortnite generates well over a 100 million in each month, so Epic has plenty of cash.
But if they did pay it, then they are basically admitting that they did something they weren’t supposed to be doing. If they fight it, they may win and continue to have a sense of urgency for their micro transactions thus making more money long term.
Meaning more suits to follow from others if they don't fight as well.
Not a fan of Epic nor fortnite and their micro transactions. But the game is heavily supported and is free to play, all store items are completely cosmetic.
I'd fight back too. These are kinda meaningless reasons to fine someone like really for THAT. It's like they just wanted to make money or something.
There is a law for something, but even if its stupid follow it because if you break it you pay for it; if they knew they cant place a “buy now” in NL then just dont do it!
Taking into account the skin’s styles, inspiration and final product, we’re going to rank every skin from the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Battle Pass in order from worst to best
Epic Games winning its cases against both Apple and Google is shaping the way forward for the future of mobile gaming.
I feel alot of mobile gamers are kids which will at some point probably turn to console or pc. Mobile gaming just doesn't cut it for me.
tru dat, but i feel like it's gonna be a lot more viable for people who travel a lot or don't want to invest in a full gaming rig. Think of it as a Switch on drugs, with a LOT more room for free illegal downloads.
Hope its good. BulletStorm was pretty fun at first but it just got boring after a while.
Of course he does, he's a passionate developer. I think all dev's crave creation. I wonder when we will get to hear of a new game from Epic? Post Gears 3 I guess, man I can't wait for Gears.
wonder if he will go kinect since he seems to be soooo fond of it over other motion control systems :) less talking more showing cliffy
which will be over in september no one is stopping epic from signing another exclusive deal but by the time next epic game comes out made by these gears studio both ps3 and xbox360 will have a install base of over 70 million
so to do a exclusive and let go of such a big install base just won't make business sense.
so here is hoping its something fresh and on all the consoles including wii-u the more people who get to play it the better it is for the devs and that means their future projects will have bigger budgets to do even more awesome games
I am not sure what they should work on next whatever it is i am interested
I hope it's nothing like Bulletstorm, that was the worst game I've played in 2011 so far and I've played and passed a quite a few games this year....although, I've mostly played great games this year. In fact, every game was at least 8.5/10 except for Bulletstorm which was kinda crap.
I played and passed:
Dead Space 2
Killzone 3
Crysis 2 (360)
L.A. Noire
Infamous 2
Portal 2
Assassins Creed Brotherhood
MK (haven't passed)
Bulletstorm (crap)
