TL;DR: A mediocre/fair game is not bad.
TL;DR: A mediocre/fair game is not bad.
Gonna say what everyone haven’t: the display is great to read but that’s it. The hardware is mediocre at best, and SolOS is unimpressive. At $730 it’s DOA since the iPad Air M2 exists and you can watch streaming on that.
And where is the evidence? Asking for a friend.
I don’t remember quite well, but it sold well, but not well enough for a AAA franchise.
Capcom is on a row giving fans what they want and making millions from it. Compare that to Square Enix.
I don’t think it’s a scam or a fraud (legally), but it’s really an undercooked assistant that is $170 too much.
I think that CZ has something, but eventually we will have to wait and let it cook, to check how the company (and maybe the device) are entangled with cryptos.
There are few games that define a genre, transforming them into games for history books, and that’s Super Metroid. It refined the exploration-by-abilities genre we know now as “Metroidvania”, much like Dead Souls defined the “Souls” genre, and so forth.
On the other hand, it also had it lows. Like that entry you don’t talk about that we hope someday is declared non-canon and all copies destroyed by spontaneous combustion.
Yeah, but the writing was on the wall when it came to Xbox Game Pass a few months later. If Microsoft deal was better than burning its sales, then that was it.
Also, there was some other rumors that the sequel wasn’t green lit immediately since the sales of the first game didn’t meet EA expectations. Who knows it that can be attributed to missing Halloween and holidays.
I think Dead Space 2 remake will never come. Motive is working on the next BF and the Iron Man game, that look like safer investments than a sequel of a game that failed commercially (in their books).
Is part of Game Pass Ultimate. I don’t know which tier, if any, but it is.
There is little reason for subscribing when Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is closer in price. There are EA games for free but once you played all relevant games, you’re done. There are discount on the Xbox Store for some EA games.
And they better sty that way for a while. More acquisitions will bring debt that will probably be gambled on, instead of trying to stabilize their portfolio.
The only ones who won with Embracer buying spree were studio owners and execs with their bonuses.
Saved you a click. Signal boosting a site for jobs postings.
Well, making news for Geoff not tweeting something is already click bait.
Given the transition window, I can guess Control 2 will be ready for 2025.
IMTX can be fair if these don’t abuse the players time, and offer fun content. You’re paying the game for free, mind you.
Tencent already had invested in From Software. They want to see returns, and this is how.
It should be minimal. I think it’s more about the broad appeal, focused marketing, and the good quality of the releases. You got Persona on Xbox, that’s brings people in.
I’m eager to check the calendar of Japanese games for this year.i don’t know if they blow up all cartridges in January or there is more to come.
Of course, otherwise would mean investing in huge data centers for running LLM models, or worse, buying hardware from NVIDIA.
Optimization is the key. Privacy is just an added bonus.
This could backfire into something Google don’t want: everyone using adblockers.
Imagine everyone installing adblockers just to skip YouTube’s obnoxious ad rolls, just to also block most Internet ads.
Suddenly, having an adblocker becomes mainstream like wearing socks.
They’re “overnight performance experts” because there are similar games that run better.
To me it seems that there was a tight schedule and they couldn’t prioritize performance tweaks over features. I mean, if it’s works it works, refactor later so we can jump to the next requirement.
Sum all that up and you won’t know which part of the chain takes most cycles,
Whatever the article says, I comprehend why someone would cheer at his departure.
The guy is a good by-the-numbers business person. That will cut on production companies, but not on an entertainment industry so close to the consumer as any other. Just remember who cheered on the PS4 presentation.
You expect decisions to bring more gamers to your platform (Game pass did, success), or transform people into gamers (Wii did, huge success). Not nickel and dime your consumers. Plus, he is the one signs off all decisions.
PS Portal it’s the epitome of this guy. Something no one asked for, that does less than anything on the market, and is closed to its shallow ecosystem, priced way beyond its capabilities, but on paper it looks like selling like hotcakes.
What Sony needs as PS CEO is someone who understand that is a business, but also that all these platinum trophies are not real… but they are.
That dangerous part was up to the FTC to prove and they couldn’t.
They’re not known for big projects. Except Callisto Protocol which flopped so hard they will put their hands on whatever has more than 7 figures.
I while I’m kind of happy for the people who can still have a jobs, I fully expect they become a shell from their former selves (cut jobs) and make freemium crap.
