Issue is micro transactions is a industry to itself worth billions. EA, Activision, epic and R* with shark cards have combined made more through MT than actually selling games

EA through it's sports games make almost 800 million from MT so when we say it's fine for one game other publishers see that and who don't want free money. It's like if Sony didn't start charging for plus yet made same big improvements there is no way Ms could get away with char...

If you remember when Sony announced they were shutting down the PSN store for PlayStation 3 the game prices went sky high. And the biggest issue is those PlayStation 3 games are not playable on anything other than a PlayStation 3 home console

To be honest with you they should have done backwards compatibility by now that's a hundred billion dollar company I'm sure they can figure out a way. Because PlayStation 3 had some amazing games whic...

Just a question I am curious do you think moving forward these publishers could sign these lifelong contracts instead of X number of years

What I mean by that is let's say R* games use a song from certain musician and in their contract instead of saying we could use it for this game they can say we could use this not only for this release but if we are to remaster this in the future we could use it then to and pay a little more upfron...

This is just a overreaction in my opinion. He's digital sales make up for a large chunk of the sales but physical media is still accounts for over 35-40%. Some games do sell more digital yes but overall it evens itself out.

The global gaming market (hereafter referred to as the market studied) was valued at USD 173.70 billion in 2020, and it is expected to reach a value of USD 314.40 billion by 2026

So let's go by the low end and say 35% are phy...

They won't because they know mods will do a better job. It was the first game in a long time I was ready to pay full price and buy again a physical copy but now I will wait for a deep deep sale and even than it must be patched

It's just hard to make everyone happy. When they were making modern games people wanted WW2 games and now it seems people want modern again

Black ops series should be turned onto a franchise with Cod name. That brand is big enough and if given enough time we could get some special games

Why rush this because instead of giving 2 years they could have planned ahead and give 3-4 years and these games would have sold so well. Now our only hope is they hey serious about fixing the bugs and glitches and we get patches and these games become better in next 6 months

This was the first release in a long time I was going to buy digitally to play and buy physical later to double dip. Now I will wait for physical and most probably wait till there are many big patch...

My understanding was anytime we activated any cheats trophies and achievements were automatically disabled. Honestly I was willing to buy it digitally and buy the physical because that's how excited I was and this turned out to be a poor quick cash grab type remaster

Take two the parent company neither R* are struggling for cash/income so they really didn't have to rush this to meet a anniversary. Now my expectations for future remasters of Max Payne trilogy, RDR...

That sucks I love using the cheats on these games

1674d ago 7 agree0 disagreeView comment

Do you get the option to skip missions if you fail a mission certain number of times like in later GTA games? Also we still have the cheat codes same as the original release?

What other major gameplay improvements have they made? Where you really felt like wow this feel much better to play than the original ?

We just don't know the terms of the contract Nintendo has with Sega. Could it be we could get a trilogy on other platforms in 2-5 years

Gaming environments is changing so fast especially with acquisitions that we don't know in 5 years time which medium size publisher will still be independent and which will be acquired by another platform

Sega
Konami
Square Enix
Capcom

All 4 I consider up for acquisit...

Exactly I think by now we should understand and accept the fact many PlayStation games will come to PC. It doesn't have to be breaking news Everytime when Jim Ryan himself have said it

And like you said they bought a studio with expertise are on PC games. I still don't think we will see AAA exclusives come to PC day one but most might in a year or 2. This way Sony can double dip, charge full price twice and those who can't wait still have to buy PlayStation ...

Yes Nintendo funded the development but we don't know the contract terms between them when Sega who own the IP. Could it be that after x number of years games could be released on other platforms

Yeah let's see I am also hoping for more information. Yes these are older games being remastered but nee information on gameplay improvements and quality of life features would be nice

If I'm not wrong with the original trilogy Rockstar had a lot of licensed music where as in GTA 4 and 5 they had a lot of regional soundtrack especially 5. And they have very deep pockets so if they want they can renew most of it but it would be very interesting to see which route ...

I know they are about to release but even a 5 minute gameplay trailer would be nice. I am more interested in gameplay improvements, quality of life features, mission checkpoints/rebalancing some of the most frustrating missions

Usually with R* games we do get few gameplay trailers so to only get screenshots is kind of underwhelming. Developers have had more than 2 years to remaster so it's not a lazy quick cash remaster from the looks of it and they should show some ...

To us it don't matter to companies that's all that matters. And quality sells, people love to hate on COD but every year it becomes the best selling game of the year and it's even more impressive because it launches in November and doesn't have full year of sales

You know what COD is FUN

BF requires more skills there I said it. But there is no hate it's just most people like simple and fun

I think we are due for some sort of gameplay trailer for all three games it could be like 5 minutes long. Besides the graphical improvements I just want to see what gameplay improvements they have made because there is a lot more important than graphics in my opinion

The developers have said there will be no cut content so let's see

Shadow of war removed MT and apologized too. You are right launch with MT make that money and than when that's slowing down remove it and apologize so your next game is supported well by gamers

What's worst is when reviewers don't even mention mt and give the game 8-9/10 or those publishers who will add MT after game has been reviewed

They did relaunch FF14 online after the initial disaster. But I agree with marvel being a licensed game they may just simply move on
