VR goes no where farther then it does today unless they can get the cost down significantly. Wireless will not change adoption rates if the device is still $199+
I am a consumer that owns all three major consoles plus PC.
Cross-Platform play increases competition in the industry by keeping the gaming community together and able to play games together.
The only gamers against cross-platform gaming are fanboys that think their console is superior to any of the other consoles. XB fanboys were in that boat for 360 when Sony was trying to push cross-play with the PS3. PS4 fanboys are now in that boat with XB trying...
Agreed...
"Microtransactions" and "done right" should not be in the same sentence ever for a game that you pay for. If it is F2P I get it. But when I pay a cost to buy a game that is like telling me, "you bought the car without an engine, the engine is extra".
The problem with buying any major cross-platform publisher is that they are valued based on their cross-platform sales. Especially with Sony since they want everything to be exclusive to PS.
The company may be valued at $50 billion with all their cross-platform sales. But, when Sony buys them if they want to take the company exclusive the company's true value would only maybe be $30 billion. It is hard to justify to shareholders that you are willing to pay $50 bill...

I can agree with quality over quantity for sure.
But, I feel there can be more SP games and still not kill quality... Too many SP developers have disappeared in the last few years.
I don't like what I have seen from this game so far. Expect a Metacritic around 72-77 right now.
There is nothing wrong with the model as long as it is part of Game Pass.
Again, each year only having a few AAA SP games is not thriving it is survival through decreasing competition. I am desperate on all my platforms including PS for more SP games.
VR was a fad. Here we are many years after oculus rift and PSVR and VR has yet to reach a critical mass on any platform. It has a future, but that future is not now.
I do not feel single player games are thriving.
There are less and less of them and more and more games are moving to online models.
Single Player games should thrive because to me they are art.

"Played the game, and still am, it's as bad as people say it is. Not entirely void of fun, but certainly not even close to what the first one was."
Ummmmmmmm…. I question whether you played the first one or this one.
The premise of this game is very similar to the first one. In the first game you had areas of the city with factions that controlled them. In this game there are bosses that are in areas spread throughout th...
I disagree.
I have EA Access, PS Now, and GamePass. They have saved me a ton of money. For about $350 / year I get a ton of content that would otherwise cost me $1,000's.
I would prefer if Sony would bring day one content to PSNow, add downloadable versions, add the ability to buy those games and improve the PC client a lot more, but, it allows me to play PS4 games when I travel away from my PS4 at home.
Crackdown is what I call a Saturday morning type game (Just like cartoons and cereal). It is entertaining fun where you can check out of life and just have a good time playing games like we used to do before massive never ending RPGs, battle royales, FPS RPG shooters, and 30 hour plus intricate action games. It takes us back to days when games were there for a time period and you went back to the game because it was a ton of fun, not to keep levelling and collecting for your character.
I encourage people to actually read the article and not just judge the title. It is a bit of a read, but worth while.
Actually this is making a new XBox identity.
For me, Xbox is about the network and the gamer profile I have. Games are just as important to me, but because I am very digital and very mobile, being able to connect to a network I trust and to track my progress in games using the XB Live network services (cloud storage, achievements, and gaming network) is a very important aspect of gaming to me. And since Microsoft is driving to bring this cross platform it makes me much ha...
Just like games like The Order, DriveClub, Sea of Thieves, Mass Effect Andromeda, etc. this game is getting beaten for reasons not related to the game but more about perceptions of what reviewers have and the fact that it had a long development cycle to make a game with cloud destruction which was overly ambitious.
When you rate the game without know its development cycle or what company made it, you would probably rate it 7-8 out of 10. It is a disappointment that reviewe...
What percentage of gamers on PS4 has PSVR?
What games are selling consoles and VR headsets like crazy?
There is single digit percentage of gamers that have PSVR on PS4. And there are next to no games constantly talked about that are selling PS4 consoles left and right.
I liked The Order so I would play a sequel.
Their single player AAA titles are a known thing that they create well. As long as they don't decrease their work on that to get better multi-player I am perfectly fine with that.
Consoles will not go away.
Each device has a purpose and place. Consoles are the best device for people not wanting to configure a PC to connect to a TV properly. 90% of the planet does not want a PC on their TV.
