I will never understand how anyone could play GTA 3 or Vice City on ps2 and not hate it. On pc you could atleast aim but on console it was this terrible auto-aim system that didn't work at all. Any encounter was pure luck unless you could find a way to clear it using a car. Roaming the city while listening to radio was cool though.
Yeah, but they will make even more. And probably cut even more projects and stuff to minimize spending.
I like both, but I don't think Gamepass is sustainable in the long run, and I do think MS will make changes as they slowly scale down on spending.
Can hardly be a surprise, they don't have that big of an install base. They need to get it on switch, that's where people are. Switch, ps and pc those are the relevant platforms.
And do we have any call of duties on switch yet? Another forgotten promise.
Yeah, I think the ActiBliz case revealed that they needed 100 million subscribers before a certain date and that they would abandon ship if they didn't. I think we are seeing some variant of them abandoning ship, in this case slowly moving away from hardware and into streaming and third party publishing.
The thing that failed is that they wanted 100 milion subscribers by 2027(? Or 30?) and they are nowhere near that goal.
They sure do act like Xbox is dominating. Removing it from retail in Europe, cancelling projects internal and external. All signs of a healthy business.
Why would you hold a big event and not reveal your new big 2026 Forza game?
Though it's also a game that don't need mention, it can do well on it's own. That's probably the thought process.
It does, but I'm not sure it matters to MS, sales are not their goal currently. They only care about growing gamepass.
Though you could also point to Expedition 33 and make the opposite claim.
I wanted this to be good, because the initial trailers reminded me of 90s styled techno/cyberpunk thrillers like Johnny Mnemonic, Freejack, Strange Days and so on. Even a bit of Neuromancer in the way it's sci-fi but not at all Blade Runner. I love that stuff, grounded realistic sci-fi.
But then you get all the reports of a bad work enviroment, the nft spin-off platform and the broken guided previews. Seems like a disaster waiting to happen. But I hope it's atleast...
Is the retro classics for all consoles?
We got a bunch of Armored Core games three months, can't be that bad.
Can't help but feel that this article lista a mixed bunch of retro games and then point to a shorter list of mixed retro games and claims it's an issue? I would love it if they did more and I think it's going too slow, but I don't see how Nintendos 2025 offering is any better so far this year even if I do enjoy their service.
Those three AC games alone trumps everyth...
Some leaks seem a bit pointless. There's a whole industry around leaking games hours before a presentation, not sure what anyone gains from it. If the game is years away it might be interesting, but if the announcement is days away, why bother?
Some leakers are just people with access to a youtube backend that can see the titles of some trailers or whatever. I don't see how it helps anyone.
They did choose an odd time to throw in the towel. If they keep this up, they might have been able to make a return with the next console.
Though it's also nice that you don't have to buy all consoles to play all games.
They do have the arcade collections.
I wish we could get the ps2 version of Capcom VS Snk 2, it had some really fun survival modes and a color edit and an editor to customize your isms or whatever they called them.
Blue prince and Alone in the dark 2 is pretty nice
I think it's more likely that they will end up raising the US price as punishment for the tariffs.
I wish they were doing something else, that's a long wait until they can get back to their own ip, if they ever do that. Would much rather have a dishonored 3, deathloop 2 or a new ip. I don't really have interest in Marvel stuff.
