Veteran developer id Software believes that Microsoft's Games for Windows campaign will play an important role in protecting PC developers against piracy and ensuring a better experience for the end user.
"Some people say it's a little too Big-Brotherish, but it's a legitimate progression of making the PC feel more - not like a console, but like a closed system," id's lead designer Tim Willits told GamesIndustry.biz in an exclusive interview published today.
Yes, Ubisoft's divisive pirate RPG Skull and Bones appears to be sailing on the tides of success, as Ubisoft prepares to launch Season 2.
Does anyone have accurate gameplay numbers from Steam or PSN? I smell snow job...
If true, it goes to show that the negative press response was not reflecting reality. I personally thought omitting land traversal was a huge miss. But i also thought there was some things that were great about it. Lets see which story was true and which was made up (or worse, paid for)
No data just pr talk. The same site has an article talking about how the price of the game was slashed quickly post release, these sites treat us like fools lol
The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication was incredibly scary, and would be considered a cinematic horror because of how well everything is done visually. There are many faults with it, but at least it's very scary.
Ghost of Tsushima has launched on PC with a long list of graphics options for you to tweak. Developed by Nixxes, it’s another well-optimized port integrating the latest upscaling and frame generation technologies from AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel. We took the port for a spin across several systems, and have compiled our performance optimization guide below.
those comments are interesting, I didn't expect that from id. Piracy is understandably a big issue for them.
How is forcing gamers to pay $40 a year to play games online good for the industry, excepting making an already over-sized corporation more wealthy.
Yea I think id is just jumping on the Games for Windows boat cuz Epic isn't so keen on it yet, so they're trying to get a heads up... will it pan out is the question
Sadly to say but ID Software is now MS's b!@tch. What exactly is the benefit of a closed system? Less Piracy? PC games alrady have Product ID codes, which is more protection than consoles have. PC's have always been an open platform for gamers and I see no reason why that should change. I have never torrented or downloaded any new games, I've only ever emulated NES, SNES, and Sega games.
