Game publishers like Zynga have had great success developing mainstream Facebook games like CityVille and Words with Friends, but another San Francisco game studio, KIXEYE, is having success catering to the more core gamers that scoff at the traditional “boring” Facebook games.
TOME: Immortal Arena is a fast paced browser based MOBA. All you need to do is load the website to play the game. That’s right, no download. But how does it play? Loren McClain goes in depth with this new title from Kixeye.
Will Harbin talks about Kixeye going mobile, and what new platforms mean to him
Kixeye
Kixeye has made a name for itself as a social game company for hardcore gamers, with titles like War Commander, Battle Pirates and Backyard Monsters. Kixeye stands out among Facebook companies not just because of the hardcore focus of its games, but by the high rate of monetization - Kixeye's games generate revenue per payer at 20 times the usual rate.
I think this guy is right. The amount of cross-platform games alone is a telling sign.
This sums up my thoughts about the PS4, Xbox One: http://www.fateofthegame.co...
Since this guy is an expert of "next gen"
Why don't you explain to some things that are next gen? Oh, and I would like to hear what anyone could come up with that can be considered new. That's the irony of this whole argument, most of the ppl saying it don't even know what next gen is themselves. They couldn't explain it to you face to face, or detail their thoughts. From a technical standpoint or gameplay. What is next gen gamemplay specifically? Not talking about trying something new. What is it? Unless you can come up with something better......please shush lol
I agree, for now. Holding off on next gen for a while. Give me something I can't get now on my 360 or PS3 and then I'll jump in.
Snoogans!
Well both offer consoles with 8 gigs of Ram to work with compared to MBs worth(which they were creating great games with) so for console gaming yeah they do offer new possibilities.
"A wise man once said that War is Hell. If war games on Facebook are any indication, hell is the most boring place that anyone could possibly imagine. This week on Uncasual we’re taking a look at Zynga game Empires and Allies, and at Kixeye’s War Commander." - JTM Games
Battle Pirates is a blast!
