No one is expecting a plethora of AAA vr games and those who are, are missing the point.
Well obviously. There's a reason Octopath Traveller released on xbox and not ps.
Here's a list of third parties that MS paid to skip PS either permanently or timed:
Recent:
Scorn
Octopath Traveller
High on Life
Tunic (Released a while after)
Vampire Survivor
Stalker 2
Slayer X
Old:
Quantum Break
Alan Wake
Rise of the Tomb Raiser
Blue Dragon
Lost Odyssey
Dead Rising 3
Gears of War
Mass Effect 1
"Forced diversity' lol... Why is it forced? do you think the writers at Obsidian were pressured? You have creative freedom unless you want to write something inclusive, then obviously you were forced. So stupid.
The article doesn't state that it's a requirement. It just notes that Pentiment manages to find representation in medieval history and that it brings something interesting to the table while doing it. Point being, maybe developers could explore more facettes of the medieval setting to give us a broader perspective. It's meant for inspiration not force.

But you don't have to go AAA, development tools are so powerful these days that you can do a lot with limited budgets. I think we'll see some impressive stuff in time with or without AAA.
Another thing, new specs makes vr ports a lot more feasible and less cumbersome than on psvr.
In the beginning it can leach of Quest 2. I assume a lot of developers want their vr games out on as many headsets as possible.
I don't entirely disagree, but try being a pc gamer without installing Windows. You are not going to have a good time.
While ActiBlizz would take a lot of games away from a lot of players, it coumd also lead talented Activision studios to become more than Cod factories.
Perhapa Raven could return with an original title? Not all bad, but not too fond of this idea of having every big publisher gobbled up by megacorporations.
But atleast it might make room for new third paety publishers to emerge. We really need some new big ones.

You're in luck, they built a difficulty setting into Elden Ring.

You really think people will remember the video game awards in the future? That's cute.
Just as a test, who won last three years? Don't google.
They aways do a lot of different experiments in new IP and they usually inocrporate new concepts into existing franchises and try out new things with various spinoffs using popular characters.
If you check a complete list of Nintendo games from the last 15 years, they've been doing a lot of stuff.
Aside from all the obvious horrendous citcumnstances creating it.
The music in the game was finished, just some of it was rejected but they used it anyway without paying.
The low quality stuff is the separate soundtrack. I think, he never seemed to mention any dissatìsfaction with how the actual game turned out.
I'm not sure they need to accomodate hdds, win 10 is borderline unusable without a ssd, so it would be fair enough to make it a requirement.
But reviews are objective truth and everyone has the same opinions about everything and everyone shares the exact same taste, reviews should reflect this. My opinion is the right opinion and reviewers should able to predict what I feel.
The most well reviewed game of all time on steam is cutesy narrative driven walking simulator. So not sure it's entirely true. But the popular narrative games are rarely third person shooters.
But they are few and far between. Looking at all time popular steam games it points in all kinds of directions. Small narrative indie games, simulators, hardcore shooters, horror games, animu visual novels. Just seems like the pc crowd is different than the console crowd.
A good example of this is Death Stranding, ps4 gamers thought it was weird while pc gamers embraced it.
It is a bit weird that Obsidian and especially Bethesda seems to be carrying the entire load. They have so many studios and so little to show for it. Perhaps 2024 is packed with small and large projects.
There's a possibility that games like this are fairly unpopular on steam. Narrative driven shooters doesn't seem like something that has a life on the platform. Unless I'm missing something.
Mgs3 is only good in Subsitence due to the vastly improved third person camera. Also would mean that we wouldn't get the retro games, as these were bundled with Subsistence.
