I'm not arguing, I was attempting to have a discussion. I'm also talking about developers who's games aren't on Game Pass being effected by competing against a service, so those developers are not getting paid. Something that is surely going to cause a fallout within the industry at some capacity.
I'm referring to games that aren't on Gamepass though Jin. Games like Guardians of the Galaxy and a few more recent ones where sales from Playstation consoles heavily eclipsed Xbox. Those developers are losing massively on Xbox because they are competing with a subscription service.
It's a short term win for gamers though. There's no way the current trajectory continues without a huge shift in some form.
Absolutely what is happening. Many of the users on Xbox are "waiting for gamepass". They'll tell you that themselves.
This is going to have a huge influence on gaming in the near future
Digital sales are a factor for both consoles, though. That's not going to suddenly tip the scales massively in the opposite direction.
Xbox counted for 17% of sales of back 4 blood in the UK. Yes this is to be expected of a game available on game pass. They touch on it in the article but completely gloss over it, Game that aren't on gamepass are suffering huge losses in sales on Xbox. Guardians of the Galaxy and Far Cry are recent examples. There are absolutely massive sales differences between Xbox and Playstation.
So yes GamePass is great value but it absolutely is killing sales of games. An issue a ...
Oh I agree. It kinda takes away what I love about the hobby but it's the only way some people get to enjoy it
I've had a really good year with mine. Strangely I havent bought many new games over the last 12 months. So there are many I've to catch up on but even going through my backlog I've loved the PS5.
I dont get it either. I dont care if its included but someone out there probably does so good for them. Hope it makes the game more enjoyable.
I would normally agree but here in Ireland none of the retailers have had any form of sales on games this year so for the first time ever I'm expecting some really good offers. Well except from Gamestop because their sales are always useless.
The Indies do better on Cyber Monday than Black Friday.
Meanwhile I want Sony to allow more than 100 games on my wishlist 😂
Actually solo play and automata rules in board games is a huge market, now more than ever. Most big crowd funded games need to have 1 player rules included.
I get what you're saying Catan definitely needs the social interaction to shine but you definitely missed the mark saying there aren't many 1 player games
This is what I wanted to hear!
This coming from a studio that consistently raises the quality of its output and has for numerous years been voted as one of the best businesses to work for. More people should listen to Ted Price! He is clearly doing something right.
Man Backbone being on gamepass makes it's 25euro cost on Playstation too much to take
Echo Generation looks great too
It seems we have similar tastes. I prefer indie stuff these days to the half Arsed AAA efforts in most cases. I cant wait for Little Devil Inside and I'm delighted Deaths Door is finally coming to Playstation.
... but I have to admit the rest of the show was very weak. Nothing else piqued my interest at all.
I typically ignore the rumours but I was really hoping the ones of Hogwarts being shown would be true. I'm not even a Harry Potter fan but that game has my att...
I know! For a game that was supposed to release during the summer and is already years past its expected crowd funding release this is excruciating! I cant wait for it though.
I really enjoyed the last game too. A bit stripped back from what I'd usually expect of Frontier Games but anything that builds on that game is worth getting excited for I reckon
I can not wait to see this!
Dude I don't know how you could manage anything with 2 todlers and a newborn ha fair play! I'm run ragged with just the 1!
The movie industry shifted to meet the climate. Reebots and sequels to years gone series are coming back to a huge degree because of customer familiarity. Everything needs to have brand recognition and potential for insane amounts of merchandise. Studios take less risk.
Cinema tickets and DVD cost a substantial amount less than games, so it's not a wild idea to believe the budgets and how a game is developed is going to be impacted by a service fueled game industry
