I think it's being sent to die, $500 for a device with slighter higher res, slightly improved old games, no big AAA game at launch, and focuses and AR that's yet to prove that it actually interests anyone, sure it'll sell among the hardcore VR fans but there isn't a single reason for the average player to grab one. Not even PSVR2 with Resident Evil Village, RE4, Horizon etc is getting big sales and it has fantastic exclusives among PS5 owners and it's only $150 more, i don...
Cool, it's a game, not a marriage, you can move on.
Let's pack 10 year old gameplay with modern day price, profit.
Loved PoE1, hated PoE2 with all my heart, the pirate theme and battle minigame where absolutely terrible, story was boring, PoE1 felt like a real BG1 spiritual successor, but PoE2 never happened for me.
I'm actually more excited for the release of UEVR (an upcoming injector that can make almost any UE4 / UE5 game to work in VR) than 99% of the game releases. Nothing beats the immersion of VR and playing Scorn, Observer SR, Atomic Heart, Layers of Fear 2023, etc in VR has me way more hyped than anything else.
I can't believe that giving free games away every week and signing exclusivity deals for millions of dollars to keep games out of Steam isn't profitable, who would have thought that.
Lost in Random was the best game no one played, what a fantastic game.
so they have an OS in almost every computer, now they want to own almost every gaming company, hell Bill Gates even owns they biggest share of US farmlands at this point so he's going to tell us what to eat, MS is really looked like an 80s IBM dystopia at this point.
Which basically means, please ignore our monopolistic measures and go purchase our subscription inmediately, otherwise we may fire all your beloved devs we purchased with Windows money, that we actually never knew how to make them profitable to begin with.
remasters meh... aka sell games at half the original price with a few AI upscaled textures, 4k res and ready to cash in.
free Unity merchandise for all devs yayy!
First world problems, having to work 2 days at the office per week, the tragedy.
Total Unity games starting development in 2024 = 0
I was really excited when I saw Wayforward since that usually means incredible pixel art, this just look... mmmkay,
Other than their big games, they launch games with barely any ad campaigns or promotion, Star Ocean, Romancing Saga, Harvestella, Valkyre Elisium, etc they basically send them to die in many cases.
For me Ken Levine is way closer, Nolan is a visionary and is always innovating the medium, Ken Levine did exactly that with Bioshock 1 and Infinite, they were absolutely mindblowing is pushing the medium in terms of gameplay and storytelling. I adore Todd Howard, but all his games are a constant refining the old TES formula over and over, which means creating fantastic games, but far from the level of brilliance and creativity of Ken Levine or Nolan.
that pic though...
Isn't it a ironic that games that had a massive campaign to be cancelled like Kingdom Come Deliverance for not having race diversity (in 1402 Bohemia, come on) or Hogwart's Legacy for being a J.K.Rowling IP were massive successes, but an IP like Sains Row that tried to comply with every single woke premise, sent it's developer to bankruptcy? it sure talks volumes of the real weight in all those cancel campaigns.
As long as SR goes back to it's roots i'm all for it.
The sweet taste of monopoly, coming soon to Xbox, disgusting. And this is not a matter of green vs blue team, I play on PC, don't have a PS5 and have a Gamepass account, but these kind of practices never benefits consumers in the end.
