Its still strange that executives (like Dice's former CFO) get paid bonuses after they cause loses in revenue and sales, brand damage and negative PR.
Why on Earth do executives get paid so much and get such ridiculous bonuses? Executives even get severance pay when they are fired.
25-35% completion of single player is pretty common. Even games that review well tend to have a completion rate comparable to the RE 2 Demo.
A lot of Halo players hated fighting the flood in the first Halo trilogy. I remember Bungie addressing player criticisms of the Flood and why they weren’t in the studio’s last two Halo games.
Oddly Fox doesn’t even know what media in the Alien Franchise is canon or non-canon. Prometheus, Alien: Covenant contradict not only each other but also muddle the canon of the other Alien Films.
I have noticed some members of Digitalfoundry over praising the Switch ports of Wolfenstein, Doom and Crash. They act like the sub HD and low frame rates of the Switch ports don’t matter. Yet the Xbox have 900p resolution and one less average frame than the PS4 is a huge deal.
Digitalfoundry has at times come off as bias, e.g. being more critical of performance on one console than another. If the Xbox One S is dated then so is the PS4, both consoles had some performance issues with RDR 2 and BF V. Additionally they stated the base Xbox One is weakest home console when in reality the Switch is the weakest console by a large margin.
The Xbox One and PS4 have pretty comparable performance on most games with resolution favouring the Sony console. How...
Firstly you would think that the gameplay of a game was one of its most important aspect. Secondly, people aren’t generally against diversity in games and other media. The controversy surrounding diversity in BFV is due to the fact that the game’s diversity subverts actual history despite the developer promoting the game as authentic to its setting and time period.
Turn 10 themselves stated that their was no plans for Forza Motorsport 8 for 2019 as the studio wants to instead improve Forza Motorsport 7. Both Gears 5 and Halo Infinite were firmly announced as Xbox One & Windows 10 games. Halo Infinite probably won’t release until 2020 as no release date for it was given when it was unveiled at E3 2018.
That makes no sense. Halo Infinite has no release date, Gears 5 has a 2019 release date and no Forza game is planned for this year.
It think Rare's glory days (the 1990s) was due to their development practices which were viable at the time. Rare stared to fall off during the 6th console generation as the industry and game development started to rapidly change and Rare didn't adapt.
The amount of content Sea of Thieves had at launch was inexcusable. For Rare to get back to the glory days or become a credible developer again the studio needs to follow focused development plans.
The Lucky’s Tale IP is not owned by Microsoft
Rare was given a chance to prove themselves and return to form. However, Rare spent 4 years developing a bare-boned mediocre Sea of Thieves. Had Sea of Thieves not sold well Rare may have very likely been in jeopardy.
Please bring back real demos to end the usage of fake betas .
I just don't understand the direction of this game. I personally feel Ubisoft is setting themselves up for a big flop.
I wonder how backwards the focus meeting for this games were:
Fans want a sequel - Ubisoft makes a prequel
Fans want a single player adventure - Ubisoft makes the game online focused.
And obviously Ubisoft had to make the game into an open world title.
Hasn't the Xbox One had strong NPD fall sales for several years now?

The Star Wars brand took a nose dive after The Last Jedi, plus Battlefront 2 didn’t sell as its predecessor. The Star Wars games sell well when there is a hype surrounding the movies, hence Battlefront (2015) sold extremely well due to the nostalgia associated with Force Awakens. EA is the publisher that should be holding an exclusive Star Wars license in my opinion.
