I hope that free-2-pay, excuse me, free-to-play never, ever crosses the minds of Sony, Microsoft, or any talented developer ever. We get nickel and dimed enough already.
Idc that they have a lot of indies but can we please let Assassin's Creed, Killzone, and infamous die, or at least give them a break? Are new Ip's too much too ask for? New Ip's that don't all look the same?
*And this is criticism is really of gaming as a whole today. I guess Sony's doing better then their counterparts, but still I don't think that's good enough.
Did we need a confirmation for that?
Its the choice that matters. I'm fully digital because I accept the risks associated with buying digital games. I choose to do that because I have a reliable internet connection and I don't mind minor forms of drm. MS didn't give people the choice. That's the big difference. There's no reason they couldn't of done both.
A 2TB hdd costed me $80. Let's say the average Xbox One user uses 20GB of the cloud for themselves (an extremely, extremely generous number), that hard drive alone could could satisfy the needs of a hundred people. If you divide the cost up, that's $0.80 a person. When we consider the fact that the average cloud use will probably be something 1 or 2 gigs at most, that price-per-user plummets even more.
As far as why would they change that? Microsoft has a reputation ...
The first Dragon Age already did that, and this is coming from someone who actually enjoyed DA2 more then most.
"The developer’s upcoming The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be the first truly next-gen role-playing game, launching exclusively on the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4."
I think your'e missing one.
Most mods don't actually modify any code. They simply replace assets like textures and models (such as the one in this article), or add on to existing code.
And taking models from other games and putting them into another isn't illegal either, so long as you own both games, like SkyBlivion. The modders just can't distribute the models.
I don't think anyone could deny that the guilds sucked ass in Skyrim. Huge letdown.
If anything, compared to actual 14 year old girls, she didn't swear nearly enough.
Also, I wish the hunter's were more diverse. They all looked like common street thugs. They were supposed to be normal people just trying to get by, who were only "hunters" because they had to be.
Can we please stop pitting every single RPG against each other? The Elder Scrolls and the Witcher both rock.
Would anything Square Enix does be a megaton?
"While this experiment may have shown a high “piracy” rate for one day, it does not give the Greenheart devs A RIGHT to act AS THOUGH they are OWED for their WORK."
WHAT!?
Actually, Italian is also an ethnicity, as is British, Irish, Swedish, Russian, German etc. They're not just cultures.
Speed won't matter that much. Ps4 Developers can optimize for all 8 cores, while PC developers have to get their game running on dual cores as the minimum. They can't touch any more then 4 cores, no time.
Totally different. PS4 games will be optimized for 8 cores, where as PC games are still being developed for dual cores as the minimum. That is why clock speeds matter so much in PC gaming, the sheer number of cores can't really be taken advantage of. Consoles don't have to worry about this.
It's amazing just how dumb and out of touch high ranking executives can be.
They're much less than animals.
This is one of the few next gen games that actually look creative, interesting and original. I hope we see more like it.
