Its about time someone slapped Activision-Blizzard back to reality.

GottaBjimmyb1685d ago (Edited 1685d ago )

Riot is chinese owned (Tencent) and basically run by the chinese gov so.... really they slapped themselves by bowing down to them.

UltraNova1685d ago

Tencent owns a slice of everyone, what's your point? Competition is always positive, no matter the border.

The issue was blizzard was acquiescing to a communist regime opposing freedom and free speech because they are afraid to lose money.

To be clear, blizzard, the NBA, etc all speak out politically and oppositionally all the time in the US, because they have the freedom. Kind of Ironic, lebron james stood up for Kaepernick, campaigned with Hillary, complained about "shut up and dribble," but now says the "NBA is not political" and shouldn't give opinions on political matters.

The issue isn't the pursuit of of profit, that is fine, it is allowing a nearly tyrannical government control your companie's (and employees) interest to save themselves from losing money, at the expense of their own and others freedom. Of course competition and seeking profit are fine, it is called capitalism, China is not a capitalist system though. It isn't fear that they will lose consumers that drives this, it is fear they will lose the rights to operate in China at all, hence the issue.

Let's get it. In the end, we win. Also, don't think anyone is comparing Project A to Shadownrun (2007) - which is the reason I'm insanely hype.

Notellin1685d ago

I am!!!!! That Shadowrun game was so far ahead of it's time. I'm pumped and can't wait to see you out there!

slate911685d ago

That's what I'm talking about! Severely underrated game. Loved it.

1685d ago
Notellin1685d ago

Criminally underrated. I told everyone I knew about it and we formed a squad. It was probably the most fun I had on Xbox Live in the 360 days outside of Halo.

phoenixwing1685d ago

they're both owned by tencent free hong kong

eddvdm1685d ago

In the end, it could actually be China vs current game market as we know - and probably want - it.

Look around about "dialectics" if you want to know more about it.

AllMightyFox1685d ago

isn't attacking a bleeding, sick and dying group more slaughter than war ?!?!?

maybe since the attacker is sick and dying as well it counts …..

PurpHerbison1685d ago

Really worried about the fighting game and what it will do to the genre moving forward. It will be the most accessible fighting game with super high payouts in tournaments and everyone will want a piece of that pie. There has already been a trend with fighting games being dumbed down, definitely over the last decade+, but I feel like Riots game will take it to a whole new level. Especially if you take into consideration the acquisition of Radiant Entertainment who made Rising Thunder. (A fighting game with easy combos and one button specials.) They have an opportunity to do something really special here but unfortunately I think it will only be on the netcode (GGPO) side of things.

That's great news. Hopefully the Coalition can smooth some of those edges from the last Avowed reveal.

phoenixwing8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Well I'm annoyed. Especially at all the ppl who said the graphics sucked. It's your fault they probably shifted the game to unreal so it could look more fancy for you. I was ok with it and hoping to actually play it sometime soon. Now it's like 99% chance it's delayed.
Edit: effing graphics whores

Lightning778h ago

Apparently the latest build looks way better graphically. This rumor from Jez Cordin (who's credible) pretty much confirms it.

Interested in seeing more on Avowed in a few weeks.

The games are theirs. People just pay to ride the ride.

Skuletor1h ago

Would be nice if the article's writer looked into and reported whether other digital game libraries could be transferred over via will (Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, EGS, EA app, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar Launcher etc) instead of this half-baked piece but it's probably the same for all of them anyway

Kornholic51m ago

This seems like a way bigger issue than mandatory PSN account linking for PlayStation games.

So where is the outcry?

Skuletor29m ago

It's not like PlayStation is doing any different.

NotoriousWhiz22m ago(Edited 21m ago)

It's not like your account just stops working when you die. Include your email, account id, and password in the will (including the password to your email) and your survivors should have no problem using your games.

CDPR say Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3: "We don't want to be stuck in the same spot"

The next Witcher game will still be an RPG but players can expect new things as CD Projekt Red want to push boundaries and discover new ways of storytelling.

Each of the 3 existing Witcher games is pretty different from each other..

just_looken42m ago

They were different because they went from being a port studio with there last port being the god awful saints row 2 pc port to making the witcher one.

The first witcher was there first actual game with there own engine the 3rd one showed there years of experience/in house engine improvements.

This witcher game has very very few of the original people behind it and its using unreal engine like so many other games.

The big elephant in the room is that they are now proudly esg supports and go to a panel of esg reps to approve there games now.

The is cdpr 2020's not the 2010's cdpr we used to know.

https://www.gamesradar.com/...

Take the blood/sex/nudity/adult humor/combat system/rpg mechanics/writing/story charecters/art/design and there passion/drive from the first 3 games throw it in the fucking trash there now you got what they have right now for the witcher 4.

New engine new writing team new everything even esg leadership so yeah "Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3"

Kaii14h ago

My only issue with 3 was with the combat

bRuud832h ago

Combat was never the strongest part of the series.

just_looken41m ago

True but anyone that thinks witcher 3 2.0 combat is bad would never get past the first section of witcher one.

Profchaos2h ago

I felt 3 was ok took a long for it to click but I tried 2 and I found combat controls to be my biggest barrier to actually enjoying it was about 50 times clunkier than 3

thorstein49m ago(Edited 49m ago)

I thought the weakest point was the copious amount of dialog. Sometimes less is more. I remember clicking through just to get to the objective.

outsider162429m ago(Edited 29m ago)

Compared to W1, W3 feels like a masterpiece in combat..lol.

Bethesda seems like a studio that is "stuck in the same spot". Development wise. Glad CDPR are wary of that element in game design.

Hugodastrevas3h ago

This can either go very well or very badly. I hope the latter.

just_looken39m ago(Edited 38m ago)

That is on your mobile device they copied pokemon go few years back
