Infinity Ward in their infinite wisdom have released a new patch in COD: Modern Warfare and Warzone to help balance some weapons.

The studio behind Days Gone had their next big project cancelled, but it's not entirely lost, as we have unearthed content from "Mirror Pond."
Sony could print money with Days Gone 2 but instead they want to make this live service crap. There are too many shooters already dominating the market. This does not look or sound unique in any way that will draw a huge playerbase other than the initial launch.
A Days Gone sequel, or live service game. Human camps battling to take over and control the others camp, capture the flag. Using different kinds freakers as pawns on the battlefield.
Once in a while a horde of varying size descends on the battle field, enemies have to team up to survive the onslaught.
It’s fine to make gaas , just not buy some of the best of the best single player game studio makers.. the risk is big, and a massive flop would cause irreversible damage,..
Not really days gone wasn't a big hit. The vast majority of its sales came after it was deeply discounted. I played it at launch and didn't even bother finishing it. Game was FULL of jank and certainly didn't represent the quality that ps studios are known for. Played more like an xbox 1st party game imo.
Nah, it had nothing to do with how it played. It just didnt meet expectations for a sequel to be invested in.
-"There are too many shooters already dominating the market."
I don't get it: saying this right after confidently believing DG2 would sell like hotcakes seems like a contradiction.
Bend wasted time so there's no need in wasting time talking about this. What are Bend working on now is the question.
I’m glad they took this hit for multiplayer games. First party single player is what got them to the top. There is room for them to make multiplayer games but they need to be much more selective about it.
Most first party single player games dont keep people playing.without a robust multiplayer component.Thats part of the issue. Sometimes it takes 5 to 6 years for games to be finished and they are getting more expensive to make so the risk is bigger. I liked days gone but it wasn't as well recieved as other 1st party games. Sony cant just do single player only lgames anymore. The industry has changed.
that's only an issue if you're looking to cash in on MTs. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a great single player title not maintaining players.
