Yeah, no. That’s a terrible take.

If it’s quality fixes it’s because the developer did something wrong/poorly and should absolutely be free.

If it’s sizable content updates, we already have a system for paying for those - release it as DLC.

p.s. We don’t all spend $10 on coffee at Starbucks. It’s mediocre coffee and isn’t worth $1 never mind $10.

"What happened with GT7?"

The game was down for over a day, including the single player career mode, because the servers went down.

Similarly, once they close those servers, GT7 is basically finished, including the single player modes. DriveClub unfortunately went that way.

"I said, "DAMN NEAR", not sure if you missed that"

Having to go online once a week or month, is very different from ...

@SurgicalMenace "Yeah, I'm not seeing how any game always online affects us when the console itself is damn near always online."

I'll refer you to the Gran Turismo 7 launch, and DriveClub for why this is a problem.

Also, consoles aren't always online. Once you've installed and updated a game etc, you can play offline, even with a digital license.

"Imagine if people said shit like that when Mario went 3D. All games used to be side scrolling 2D at one point."

Mario went 3D with Mario 64. That game wasn't a remake of anything.

If it was a remake of a 2D Mario Game, people would expect it to behave/play similarly.

Well, the boycott clearly worked /s

Really though, well deserved, the author is irrelevant & the game is great.

@Shinoff 2014 was a reference to Mojang. Dungeons (2020) is in there. Microsoft has owned that studio since 2014. So it's very unlikely this was a 'pre-acquisition leftover deal'.

Clearly negotiated a new contract and paid for at least that game.

@S2 It's a remake of a non-VR game which was designed to be 3rd person. That's the authentic way to play.

Plus, we don't even know what the VR DLC is yet, or when it comes out.

The demo will likely be flat screen - the VR DLC isn't available day 1.

This^

Or a remake of Outbreak 1 + 2, or CV. Heck, I'd take another remake of RE1 in the modern engine + perspective over an RE5 remake. That game literally does not warrant a remake.

I'll be playing it the way it was meant to be played - flat screen!

"but I do hope they aren't trialling out co-op for a potential RE5 remake"

Hadn't thought of that... good catch.

@dark

So Sony, sometime before 2014, signed a deal for a game that wouldn't exist until 2020, so that they could bring that game to PS+ in 2023?

Seems unlikely.

PS+ Premium/Extra didn't exist when Sony signed the Deathloop/Ghostwire contracts.

Also, Dungeons came out 6 years after Microsoft acquired Mojang, so obviously no pre-acquisition contract existed there.

Worked out before? They acquired Mojang in 2014, Zenimax in 2021.

Similarly, the PS+ Extra/Premium tiers didn't even exist until March 2022.

None of this stuff was 'worked out before'.

Well, maybe they can work out a deal with MS to bring those games to PlayStation? MS has already said they will bring their games to Switch.

This just looks insane, Capcom have hit it out the park with this.

Krauser... Luis surviving longer and basically becoming a co-op buddy. The El Gigantes... it's just all perfect.

Can't wait for the demo.

441d ago 4 agree13 disagreeView comment

Dungeons and Ghostwire being in PS+ shows that MS are not blocking off their titles from coming to PS+, provided Sony are willing to pay (which is a fair ask).

He sure waited a while, no? 3 years is the longest resignation window ever.

442d ago 17 agree58 disagreeView comment

Well that’s a shame - but he leaves behind a great studio after ~13 years, and a set of great IPs with Evil Within, Ghostwire and Hi-Fi Rush.

That’s cute, but I live in America, Ukraine doesn’t decide which content I get to consume.
