"The “all digital future” that companies like Electronic Arts and Microsoft were touting around years ago was never a pro-consumer avenue in the world of electronic entertainment." OneAngryGamer says.
EA Sports dropped their first gameplay trailer for College Football 25 today and the game looks truly amazing. Buried in the details of the game hype, however, is a significant letdown for those who play online dynasty (a significant portion of the userbase).
Many details for the upcoming rumored Resident Evil 1 remake have already leaked online. Capcom appears to have huge ambitions for it.
They game cube remake was mind blowing.. another remake would be nice but i was really hoping for Code Veronica first
If it's true they are probably leading up to RE5 with the Chris vs Wesker story
RE1, CV and then RE5

Zero was not a remake but an amazing game as well. I hope they remake that one one day with some coop play.. great great game
The whole Lisa Trevor side-story was an incredible addition and really fleshed out more of the lore. It could have easily felt tacked on to artificially extend the length of the game, but it felt 'right' like it should have been in there from the beginning. I'm hoping they include that in the Re-remake.
While I want another modern remake of 1, I think code Veronica should be first. The first re1 remake holds up amazingly well. Give CV it's due.
I hope they don't. They were created mainly to justify Wesker not really dying, and they do create more tension, but they don't make much sense.
Re-reviving things that were twice dead? Why would the virus stop there and not keep reviving them forever (until the head gets destroyed)?
And also the characters knowing that destroying their heads keep them from becoming crimson heads, while having a combat knife and lots of heavy objects around to do it while they're down, but having to rely on lucky shots or burning them with oil?
They can create other stuff that serves the same purpose of creating tension but that makes more sense.
Discover the impact of Microsoft's decision to include Call Of Duty in Game Pass. Explore the pros and cons and speculate about future changes.
Most folks that have a Gamepass subscription will not spend the $70, they will use Gamepass instead to play COD. MS will most likely make their money from some solely PC players & some solely PS5 owners. Even some PC players may opt to use Gamepass instead of spending $70. I would think MS would want to make every dime they could from retail sales. As long as they put new releases of COD day one on Gamepass, MS will lose out on some sales of COD.
COD makes truck loads of money on microtransactions. That's likely the play. Get more people in the door through Game Pass and sell more microtransactions. Have a steady stream of events to keep people interested so they keep their sub, and then just the sub alone would double the revenue from that player each year.
Most that don't have Gamepass will just buy the game and he done with it. People that do will just result in a retail sale being lost. Some will buy the subscription for the month then be done. This is lose lose. Casuals aren't going to pay almost 300 dollars a year for COD.
Yep D move EA that's why I'll never go digital because of companies like you that make it hard to trust you crooks.
Physical > Digital
That’s why I’ll always prefer the option of having both physical and digital distribution available to me
These are the inherent dangers/risks of going completely digital... but it’s for any form digital media really. I mean how many of use have gone completely digital in terms of music? Or even movies?
Games, at some point, will be a nearly all on a digital format. It’s inevitable. I have yet to see a reason why we aren’t headed towards that future. Personally it’s not the fear of losing games like this unfortunate person did, but the lack of ability to trade back games that keeps me from going all digital. However, I trust a Sony, Nintendo, Steam, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, or Vudu to maintain access to forms of the digital media I’ve purchased over the past decade. Generally speaking I believe you a higher chance of being hacked vs what happened to this persons EA account. Now an EA/Origin account... I feel like that’s a buyer beware* story waiting to happen.
I hate to say it, but i'm embracing all digital. I mean come on, my music and movies are digital. Like gumby's list, in the event of fire, accidents, crazy ex sabotaging, kids breaking or selling your games, and just the general aspects of growing up and being an adult with a family; the pros of all digital are slowly rising in my view. However, it strongly depends on the COMPANY. I like Microsoft's commitment to bc and forward compatibility. It gives me a peace of mine knowing my purchase is playable on the next system and such. Sony will most likely follow suit. Nintendo does it's own thing. But I can't for the life of me wonder why anyone would use EA Origin. Even so, I think physical media should always remain an option. I will always buy Atlus and Japanese games in their physical formats. And take Spyro the dragon, for example. Despite me originally planning to buy the game digitally, I refuse to support a company or developer that does not offer the entire game on disc for my fellow gamers.
