Looks like this guy wasn't interested in Helldivers until it blew up. Now they have to deal with all the server issues because the servers are strained. Week after launch the game was running fine if you turned off cross play and was flawless. They would know that if they didn't review for clicks.
They wanted to and are still trying to normalise the industry on digital. This mostly benefits publishers as distribution costs are almost eliminated but game prices stay the same. This is what shareholders want. Microsoft and it's shareholders will be ok with dropping the hardware side of the business as it costs a lot of money to develop and no guarantees the consoles will sell.
I don't understand why this is a issue either, digital sales in a brick and mortar store have no inventory space. Sales are usually a tactic to free up space for something else. You can still trade in items for store credit to purchase PSN credit to then buy any game you want. Publishers set the prices
In the UK everyone I knew had a Xbox 360 instead of a PS3. The 360 releasing a year earlier got a lot of extra customers and the 360 was a solid gaming/social console. People stuck around though the RROD till the end of the generation. But (and a big but), Microsoft alienated most of their fanbase with the xbone reveal, while ticking off people like me who had purchased the kinect to then be disappointed in it, to then being forced to purchase it again.
Game preservation will be emulated anyway. There is too much internet requirements on games these days. A disc drive is the least of your worries if you can't install patches or DLC.
Please be whatever "Deep Down" has turned into. A random generated AAA multiplayer dungeon crawler.
Only includes streaming games, COD and Overwatch will be infuriating to play on any streaming service.
The CMA is allowing the deal with the concession that the streaming rights to Activision games aren't included. Microsoft have obviously overstated the importance of game streaming as Call of Duty will be unplayable as will any competitive FPS
The only way I can see this happening is if Xbox ignore the parity clause. Like destiny 1 only releasing DLC for the PS4 xbone version. The disk less series X might be sold as an upgrade to the series s
I don't understand how reviews can give it a 10 and say things like "best Bethesda game since oblivion" you are giving it a perfect score while also saying that a previous game made by them is better while excluding comparisons of games from other developers. 10 means masterpiece, a game that excels at everything it achieves. This game definitely isn't a 10 but close to it
Real question is can they afford to? Can they sustain the acquisitions through GP subs. They might move to a "play it here first" model. Relying on sales on other platforms to bolster their profits
This just makes me want a Chromehounds reboot, I loved AC on the PS1 but Chromehounds was fire with its online
Do you remember when a "new" game was actually new. Not just a rehash of assets from the previous game. Pepperidge Farm remembers.
The dock could have a disk for installing games, no need to have one on the device itself
And this is why any sequel will be worse and this game will be Bethesda's last of this scale and ambition. This was developed on a multiplatform budget with the investment based on millions of retail price sold copies. That is almost completely gone now
Community made maps allowing tracks and new game types would be a start
I'm think this is a by product of a ultra low latency wireless psvr2 adapter. Project Q won't cost alot to make if the development was for another project, battery, hardware based video decompression. 8 inch screens are cheap and the controller has had as little thought about it as possible.
A game built with a multi platform budget limited to xbox will guarantee that cuts have been made, either with this game or any sequel that may come after it.
Sony are right. During the 360 days Xbox were the king of COD. The cell chip in the Ps3 made COD run poorly so Xbox was the place to go. Xbone/PS4 generation the scales flipped and playstation was the best for performance. Xbox and Playstation know COD has a fanbase that play nothing but COD and they have proven for 2 generations that they don't have console alliances and will go with whatever machine gives them the best performance.
I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.
