Oh yeah preordered with only a CG trailer and online to install from disc, that’ll show the suites what’s what..
seriously, with only a CGI trailer?
even the forced online to install from disc stuff didn’t deter people from preordering it? I guess they are comfortable with not owning their games indeed. $70 rental holy sh*t..
They know it was heavily requested so they kept it as a trump card while milking the series until it was dry. GoT finally snapped their eyes open but since you can't just release a game on the spot it takes them this long for a catch up game.
Idk how successful it will be though, with all the controversies surrounding it, either about the race stuff or ubisoft bad practices in general.
If they’re as stupid as to make it more than $5/month increase from the highest tier I’d laugh my ass off.
I didn't even need to be patient, with how much games come out nowadays and my full time work, even clearing my backlog would take forever.
I didn’t but now that they confirmed it I expect winter or spring 2026 instead
Why? Delayed release means there’s bound to be people who double dipped and buy both version, especially single player games which is often one and done. Simultaneous release works for multiplayer game riding the hype train, that’s why helldivers 2 is successfull as it is now.
Why do you think Rockstar always released a game for console first and then PC way later? Double dip is the key. Although that can only work if the game itself is amazing: GTA V, RDR2, Horizon, GoW, n...
it's actually hilarious how many people here demand I feel different lol
@bornking the whole article and my comment stemmed from us being connected to japan itself, that's the whole point. Your example isn't even connected to me in any way, you oughta ask some other white/black/indigenous people here.
@eonjay like I said, it feels surreal. Why do I need to make my feeling makes sense for you? weird is weird. If you're sensitive to the black part I can even add that it will also feels weird if the character is white or hell, even chinese or korean.
as a half japanese, it’s just weird imagining that I’ll play as a black man to.. massacre japanese? It’s surreal if not downright racist I’d say.
also from the trailer I kinda get the vibe that Oda Nobunaga will be the big bad villain? That’s kinda like making george washington a villain, maybe outsiders will see it as interesting but japanese, not sure..
Well maybe before acting all high and mighty get your facts straight. GaaS doesn’t always mean multiplayer, and multiplayer doesn’t always mean GaaS. There are lots of single player GaaS in mobile platform, vice versa there are multiplayer games like It Takes Two or the multitude of lego games that aren’t GaaS.
You like multiplayer? Good for you, but not at all what people mean when they’re talking about GaaS.
If they do that, it’s just a matter of time before someone make a console using PC as a platform, then that console would automatically have the full PC games (which means combined PS, PC, and Xbox games) as a library.
In fact, who’s to say steam aren’t working at it right now lol, just imagine it, something with the ease of use of console that can play both ps and xbox games day 1.. combined with the marketbase of steam, there’s the new king of console.
...
as a long time ps fans I hope they still put great single player games front and center, make your live service games if you have to but don’t force your 1st party studios to make something they don’t want to.. redfall is an unfortunate example of a good studio forced to basically destroy themselves.
as much as I'd like to play an open world ninja game, I'll wait for the eventual complete edition and bug fixes.. it's ubisoft after all
Yeah as much as I’d like to hear what sony’s 1st parties have cooked, it’s not their style to shadow drop a showcase.
Still waiting for ghost of tsushima 2, I’m ready whenever man..
this. many people didn't realise switch had more square exclusives than sony.
Yeah apparently the ABK acquisition is not that good of a decision for them. I reckon that now after paying for ABK, MS higher ups have way more leverage than xbox team expected and that many decisions were made forcefully by MS. That would explain the blatant 180 degree turns on their strategy after years of building this image of xbox and gamepass as a safe haven for creativity.
And the strange silent from Xbox teams, best we got is a vague statement from Sarah Bond and ...
It’s quite strange to not see Phil Spencer in any talkshow or podcast… usually the dude would talk almost daily when there’s even a bit of news from xbox.
With sweet baby inc deeply involved with the writing I’m not surprised they sacked the previous story tbh.
Farewell Yamauchi Taka, the monk assassin we should’ve gotten..
