Why are we surprised that savings weren't passed on to the customer? Did we think the video game industry was somehow different than the rest of capitalism?
I'm still not paying $30 for GPU
I think Xbox is doing Cloud Streaming right, even if I think its only because they're doing hardware wrong.
By enabling xCloud on The Xbox One and Series S they enable players to buy the cheaper console but play games in better resolutions through xCould.
Take the recent Oblivion release for instance. If you play it locally on a Series S it's rendered at 630P and upscaled using FSR to 1260P with a 30FPS cap.
But if you play i...
"It shouldn’t have required a subscription service."
It didn't
"Like do the Steam model and just take the % on software sales or have a sub tier where you pay monthly or annually and get perks."
That's literally what it was. Stadia pro gave 2 free games a month (similar to PS+), 4K visuals, and 5.1 Surround Sound. But if you didn't want to pay you could simply buy the games and play them in 1080P. The co...
Stadia failed for two simple reasons.
1. Google didn't know how to market it in a way that made sense. It's 2025 and people still don't understand some aspects of Stadia (thinking you need to pay a subscription AND buy games for example. Just look at ChrimsonWing69's comment for proof). Google clearly missed the mark on marketing leading to people not wanting to try it out because they didn't understand the model.
2. Google thought they knew better th...
@Redemtion64.
There have been plenty of games he's reviewed that I disagree with.
I'm not sure what your argument is here? That people should never seek others opinions and instead buy everything blindly and hope for the best?
"People only use skill up because he is saying what they want to hear."
Or perhaps its because SkillUp provided plenty of video evidence to support his opinions and because Skillup's opinions have typically aligned well with my own.
"Form your own opinion by actually playing it someday."
When games are $70+ I'd rather not risk buying a game I don't like so I can "form an opinion."
Saw Rising Revengence as #1, didn't bother reading the rest. I knew the list was going to be trash.
I wish they'd bring back the Resistance 2 multiplayer. God that co-op was so much fun.
"Games that look better than Hellblade 2

Ohhhh. Ok so it's that type of opinion piece where the author is just trowing shit at a wall to see what people latch on to.
Twitter Community notes debunking this.
"DuskGolem" spreads false info about Capcom games, like "Resident Evil Revelations 3" release with Rebecca Chambers. Their "RE8" plot claims were debunked sans sources. They also share leaked images without proper credit, like Krauser from RE4 remake by Gosetsu.

It's not some great mystery. It's been talked about to death by this point.
My big issue with FO4 is that they sacrificed a lot of the RPG systems in the game in an effort to make it more accessible to the action shooter crowd.
Avoid getting sued..... Good luck.
Nintendo is going to sue them regardless.
Somehow you wrote a pointless article about disappointing Xbox exclusives and didn't include Redfall?
People want a good Superman game. Surprise
Almost certainly to save on storage costs.
How exactly is a single-player game that's already released "in trouble?"
This isn't a GaaS game. There are no micro-transactions, no loot boxes, and no reoccurring revenue streams. It doesn't matter how many people are actively playing it.
Much like with Cyberpunk 2077 when the core of your game is bad I'm not sure there's any hope of redeeming it with updates.
60FPS was only one of the problems with the game, and arguably not even the largest problem. You could make the game 60Fps right now and it would still be a bad game.
I don't need ARC Raiders either so there's that.
