As the age of online gaming becomes the dominant factor in gaming, this is a dilema that I am sure many game reviewers have considered. We are currently at midpoint between the online and singeplayer mode era’s, with the majority of games shifting their to multiplayer (and some such as MAG being online only) and certain games having no online at all. Success in sales is shared by all, but those games with online multiplayer are taking a significantly larger portion of the market in sales than their singeplayer counterparts.
Nintendo announced Friday that several of its long-time partners, including DeNA, will sell off some ¥300 billion in company shares.
Digital intelligence and analytics firm Sensor Tower has released its State of Gaming 2026 report, revealing flat growth in mobile game revenue, double-digit growth for PC and console gaming, and another record year for PC, with more games sold on Steam than ever before.
Kotaku writes: "A Resident Evil Requiem review published by long-standing UK gaming news site Videogamer has been removed from Metacritic after readers pointed out it was written by a fake AI journalist who doesn’t actually exist. Videogamer‘s human masthead was gutted last week, sources tell Kotaku, and the site has been publishing apparent genAI slop ever since."
Genuinely well done on metacritic for taking such an immediate hard stance. Not often, if at all, you see that these days. Credit where it’s due.
This is really sad on so many levels. Not least of all the fact that all the human lost their jobs to a language model. Can we block all content coming from Videogamer site. Can we make a rule that content sumitted to N4G must be greated by a human being.
I'm gonna report every Videogamer article I see on N4G from now on so just putting it out there.
Isnt videogamer one of the N4G owner run sites?
Seems to fit their MO to cut corners and push cheap dribble.
Check my comments, over a year ago I was calling out videogamer and N4G on their AI articles pushing slop 24/7
It is amazing but I'm starting to slightly miss the moron gaming press we had in the 2010s because at least they were human.
I think the two aspects just give an excuse to nitpick. If they want to rate the game lower, they'll critisize the parts of the game that arent supposed to be emphasized
KZ2 got ripped on for no coop, Killzone 3 coop doesnt even get mentioned
Not entirely seperate. I dont want 2 reviews per game, maybe 2 scores at the end of each review
The first game that came to mind to me was White Knight Chronicles. Most sites gave it a 5/10. The online was the best part of the game, and the story I though was really bad. Some games end up getting screwed over if either the SP, or MP is bad.
