Here's a look at the Amazon Luna games list, including every title confirmed to be on the service at launch.
Hey friends, we’re really excited to see you all in just a few short days on June 9 for the Xbox Games Showcase followed by Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct! To whet your appetite for some more games, we have a collection of day one with Game Pass and new to Xbox games, a returning fan favorite and some surprise drops that are playable today!
Sony has launched the PlayStation Store "Summer Game Fest" sale and here's not only the full list of games, but the MP1st sale recommendations, too.
By far the most interesting offer in my opinion. AAA options are really poor with basically only Metro Exodus, RE VII and Control.
But as far as AA and Indie goes? There is so many options. They have almost all WayFoward catalog with Shantae, Might Force and River City Girls. Basically the entire of the SteamWorld franchise as well as Focus offerings like The Surge 1 & 2 as well as A Plague Tale. And the most surprising Nihon Falcom games like Trails of Cold Steel III and Ys VIII.
For $6 I think it's more than worth it. But it's really lacking something big to drawn attention. Because while Ubisoft new games are all fine they are not part of the $6 base price.
Stadia 3.0 Luna's launch titles are meh Contra and Castelvania and RE7 I all ready own as for Vahlalla I am putting that on PS4.
This one is going to be the darkhorse. Amazon has kept it very low key meaning low expectations but very compelling collection for just 6 a month. However can see how luna can attract more casual gamers at the start. Once they eatablish a good base of subs then they can gradually start to ramp things up. A aaa here a aaa there before you know it is already riviling Stadia but with a much more solid footing base of subs.
It is the opposite approach Stadia took in trying to compete with consoles for hardcore gamers from the start which has been a disaster for Stadia. Hardcore gamers have much higher standards and expectations. But for this collection of game with 6 a month i can see a lot of casual gamers wanting to try it out. When that happens amazon will have a much better foiting getting more aaa games on
At least Stadia won't be lonely anymore. The environments these streaming services have been tested under aren't real world, they can't possibly ensure 'every' gamer will have the same experience.
Streaming sucks no matter who does it . Maybe once in a great while you will get a decent session without screen and input lag but that isn’t going to be a normal experience for a long long time .
