Boo hoo poor publishers and developers.
There's probably 5 - 10 staff in upper management of these big developers that do bugger all work but take home a 5 figure salary.
There's so much wastage at these big studios it's unreal.
Crackdown 3, Ni No Kuni 2, Kingdom Come Deliverance, RDR2, Detroit and The Crew 2 are what I'm most looking forward to.
I'm mostly looking forward to Ni No Kuni 2 and Crackdown 3 for Early 2018.
And Kingdom Come Deliverance which is due on 13th Feb.
Yeah, I'm excited for both of those games.
SoT looks like a great laugh with friends and C3 looks like a great fast paced open world game.
Can't wait for Crackdown 3.
What increasing costs?
Some Youtubers, Jim Fucking Sterling Son and a few others, have discovered that development costs have come down over the years. Big AAA games were more costly to produce in 2009 than they are now.
The whole "micro-transactions are needed to cover the extra development costs nowadays" argument is complete BS.
What a load of judgemental rubbish. I know plenty of XB1 owners who don't give three shits about Halo, Forza and Gears. People buy certain consoles for a wide variety of reasons.
2018 should be a good year for MS - Crackdown 3, Sea Of Thieves, State of Decay 2 and hopefully Forza Horizon 4 with news on a new Halo and/or Gears of War.
I'm looking forward to Crackdown 3.
Neither is Nioh and Nier.
Good games? Yes.
RPGs? No.
Correct, it's not an RPG in the traditional sense.
Not sure why you're being down-voted.
Nioh and Nier are not RPGs FFS, great games yes but they are not what I and I expect most experienced gamers would consider as belonging to the RPG genre. They may have RPG like elements to them but they are not RPGs they are action adventure games.
This is just a case of twisting definition to suit ones tastes.
H1Z1 was/is an awful pay to win dying simulator that was badly put together and barely worked on release thus few players engaged with it.
PUBG on the other hand has no pay to win mechanics, and it's just a better designed game that is a lot more fun and intense. It's such a simple concept too, 100 players start with nothing - last man/women alive wins, no bloody crafting, no bloody skill and upgrade trees, no bloody base building etc.
H1Z1 is pure garbage to be ...
Does anyone play this game still ?
Don't mean to be facetious, just can't imagine many people still playing it.
Crackdown 3 and Sea of Thieves too, hopefully out earlyish next year.
From the gamesindustrybiz article - "The newest addition to this project is Sean Eyestone, who takes on the role of production director and leaves his role as senior producer at Battlefront II developer EA DICE."
Shit, I'm sorry but DICE may have some very talented people in the art and sound departments but let's face it their upper and mid management must be full of morons for the way BF2 turned out.
"Prior to this, he spent ten y...
And there goes Gamingrespawns reputation. If they ever had one in the first place.
We need to start completely ignoring gaming sites like these if they continue to shill for the big publishers.
Even without all the loot boxes and microtransactions this game is average at best.
The Pandemic battlefront games still have more content and put the modern DICE one's to shame.
Fable?
Wouldn't surprise me.
"Star wars jesus people"
We're called Jedi's, young Xi.
And this is not the game we're looking for.
lol
If this wasn't classed as satire it could easily be published on gamesindustry.biz.
Were you born yesterday or something?
It's a CGI trailer FFS.
That's bleedingly obvious.
Well said.
Sony took a huge risk with PSVR, that took balls, big ones.
Microsoft on the other hand are failing to take risks under Phil Spencer, and MS probably have more disposable cash to take those risks.
Sony is trying to innovate in a positive way whilst other companies seem to think that innovation means loot boxes and micro-transactions.
I can't commend Sony enough for there commitment to PSVR and they risks they took bringing it to market.
