I'm actually very happy to see this being talked about. Totally ahead of its time and likely never to be again duplicated with a totally unique incentive to keep playing, yup, promotion and ranking up with a purpose that requires some serious communication to succeed. Playing this game and then watching people play Gears of War or Call of Duty on Xbox Live really showed me the difference in online communities and how awful an online experience Xbox Live was. Xbox Live was annoying trashta...
Why should we care or even bother? EA has alienate PS4 consumers for years and now, like the article says "FIVE YEARS LATER"? NFL 2K needs it's return and 2K needs at that moment to bring back the NHL series as well. With those and MLB The Show going, Konami will continue Pro Evolution Soccer and 2K dominating the NBA, simple, so long EA, this has got to stop, Konami could be taken down, why not EA? Their suits are jagoffs, they've earned it. Let's penny pinch our consum...
It is pretty sad the industry says they're in touch with gamers when obviously they aren't, so much so that the government has to step in to try and keep things fair, that's sad, publishers and even Microsoft are trying to pick pockets, cowards.
That's what they used to do with every new console. I wonder how they feel about Activision going behind their back and going multiplatform with Sonys mascot, Activision has no respect, nothings sacred anymore. Crash to Activision is like a teenage girls pride in virginity, thrown away like a piece of trash, no value or self-worth.
Something that's not preachy and political that Druckman and.... What's his name, rhe guy with the wavey hair, it's on the tip of my tongue, dang it! Anyway, that those two aren't a part of. Druckman has shown he can direct a solid game, when he keeps his political views out of it. If I wanna be preached to, I'll go to church, I don't want it in my games, especially when it's forced on me Bill in The Last of Us, okay, because it was subtle, it didn't force it o...
And they said exclusives don't sell consoles. If the developers confident enough and makes a quality game, they sure can. Developers can help console manufacturers by in fact taking a side, exclusives sell, Naughty Dog aren't complaining. Apparently neither is Sony Bend Studio as Japan are eating up a zombie game developed by a Western developer, Ooooooooooooo!
Because Jaffe won't do it and neither will the studio in Salt Lake City, that's why
Why stop at that? Eliminate microtransactions and DLC. Whatever is developed is part of the $59.99 price tag or release it in a followup game like they used too. They call Sonic & Knuckles the first DLC but even that was a full fledged game. No wonder it's a billion dollar industry. Make publishers play fair and consumers will be tremendously happy. Picking your pocket with digital items you can't own isn't right, never was, it's robbery.
Heh.... There's a lot I don't like about this article. Sony really should take pride in the PS3. It was a box that wasn't just a box, it was innovation, POWERFUL innovation. Sony demonstrated they weren't like everyone else, that they weren't afraid to do it differently and they wanted power, they wanted something unique, and it was a console that couldnt be replaced for TEN YEARS! It took ten years to shut down the PS3. And because everyone else griped about it, Sony feel...
Eh.... No, lame.
And who wants a port machine? New hardware means new possibilities so why the hell are we living in the past? Backward Compatibility falls in the same category. People are stupid, they want the most powerful hardware possible and will she'll out $500 and then play last gens games.... Just keep your old system and game on that and save your $500. Think about it, does this really make sense, but study it out and that's what you find. Port machine are you kidding me, I want new games and...
And you have no idea what the future even beholds because the technology doesn't exist yet and you don't know their business strategy. You see, the news used to he about facts, or people didn't bother. Facts gave you credibility with your readers and that's how you made money. It also costed you money to print up whatever you were reporting on. These days? People eat up speculation and it doesn't cost money to publish something because of the Internet and people pay money ...
Yeah Epic, that's how you do business and impress developers and publishers to work with you, insulting is the key to a publishers heart...... Seems their success with Gears of War and Fortnite has really gone to their head but ya know, every empire eventually falls, proven fact.
Sony loses. Trojan horse. Microsoft can't beat them, so they'll learn their craft, turn on them, and beat them. Typical Microsoft, bad move Sony, they want to imitate and anhialate you, they have infinitely more money than you, not good Sony, Microsoft gains or benefits a lot more than Sony does.....
Exactly! Like my comment above yours, I'm glad a lot of people are seeing and getting it.
I agree. At least with Bill in the first game is was subtle, alright so what, the game moves on, fine. But I don't play my games to get preached to, it's to get me out of the real world, if I want all of that, I'll go to church, but don't cram this down my throat. It doesn't matter the rest of the game is there, everyone has to post this part and force us to buy into it. When the shootings happened in Florida, was it? And CEO Shawn Layden asked for tolerance within the com...
Why does everyone always have to emphasize the lesbian scene? We get it, she's got an internal struggle, it's getting old, quit preaching to us! Or Sony, if you're gonna censor, start doing it then, this is not a normal act of nature. Two negatives don't make a positive, the human race doesn't move on through gay relationships, prove me wrong otherwise. This has gotta stop.
Never by faith, they always have to he shown.
This could be cool. First seemed like a refined Alpha Protocol.
