I don’t know about heard of fan outcry. Fans weren’t happy when Destiny 2 went with 4v4 only and less than a year later, Bungie brought back 6v6. Would love to see some big team battle in Destiny 2. The game does have tanks so that could be interesting in multiplayer. The big problem is peer-to-peer. Destiny still doesn’t have dedicated servers.
I wish this was the Morbius Machine. I could morb so hard over that.
Funny, I was playing a game on PSVR2 earlier this week. Still plenty of games left!
Please, no more “gates”. Even I wasn’t alive during Watergate and I’m an old man here. Vision Pro isn’t even made to be a primary gaming device. We might as well debate the quality of Lenovo ThinkBooks. Go get your hate on Apple in some other forum.
Could be so probably not.
“Ubisoft announced that ‘Skull and Bones’ boasts over four hours of average daily playtime.”
So the few people playing it are spending a lot of time playing it. But there aren’t enough whales to feed this fleet. This game will die like so many other live service money grabs that came before it.
All these layoffs and no one hiring is going to push talent out of the games industry forever.
No they don’t. These are player counts, not sales. If people are playing their old copy of Skyrim instead of buying Starfield, Microsoft loses.
“Sifu” is the perfect PS+ game for me. I’m not sure I’d like it so I’d never buy it. But I would like to try it.
“Everyone always says that longer is better when it comes to games”
100% not true. The majority of people don’t finish games, and “short” games continue to sell. I think the gaming audience has long moved past the dollar per hour fallacy.
The latest iPhone already has more graphical power than a PS4. I think Nintendo is going to have to spec Switch 2 a little higher if they want to convince people to upgrade.
Nowadays? You never saw the box art for “Wargasm”?
I feel like I can blame Microfost mote because they spent more than $80B to buy Zenimax and Activision and then fired a bunch of those workers.
Microsoft is a $3,000,000,000,000. Comparing Microsoft to Sony will never be an apples to apples comparison.
This is 100% not related to Sony not having first party games in 2024. For one, we don’t know that Sony won’t have any first party games. For two, Sony still makes up to 30% of the sales of new game on PSN and we know that the PlayStation install base is growing and digital sales are growing. I think these layoffs were going to happen no matter what, because the entire tech industry has decided they can do more with less.
“Most likely getting rid of diversity hires”
Kids, don’t get your business news from right wing media.
Microsoft laid off a thousands across the company, including in the Xbox division, before buying Activision and more recently 1900 employees from Activision studios. Every tech company and game publisher is laying off workers. Maybe margins on software are falling. Maybe they expect AI to pick up the slack for less.
Mmmmhmmm
Sony’s mission is to generate value for shareholders, so yes, PSVR2 needs sales on PC. This goes nicely with Sony’s sales of monitors, controllers, and headphones to PC players.
“Anything Kinect is a flop.”
“Kinect Party” was great. Forever lost to time.
