That's the reason ms got into gaming - they saw an easy buck.
"The developer behind Gears 5 believes the game will set a trend in how AAA games monetise players after launch"
That's why, MT's are bad no matter which way you slice it.
Hestrom - BINGO! These xbox owners will lap it up, mediocrity at a price. That should be gamepass's slogan.
Being transparent and dodgy is a good thing now - the mind boggles.
Sony and Insomniacs said there would be paid DLC, also grind to get costumes? Just playing through the game you unlocked them - no grind necessary.
Remember you guys are defending this transparent display of straight up greed.
You lot have no boundaries.
I forgot ms is short of cash, we should really support their dodgy practices.
Apparently Gear 5 will sell through the roof! ms fans love that series - ms is already licking it's monetization chops.
Hope it bombs and ms limp into next gen.
Obscure - I'll call ND out too if Naughty Dog comes out and says - "The developer behind Gears 5 believes the game will set a trend in how AAA games monetise players after launch".
Do you understand how much wrong is in that statement?
Being transparent when you're clearly gouging gamers is a good thing now?
I think TLOU went one step further and was actually PTW in some cases. I played a fair bit of TLOU MP and neve...
I'd do HZD maybe 2nd or 3rd year of PS5, the longer GG have with it - the better.
Disgusting - they can't help themselves, just charge people for DLC. No need to monetise players then.
Imagine the think tanks going on discussing how to gouge your player base so it seems like you're being fair.
TheUndertaker85 - Haha, c'mon mate - Sony will let them do what they want. This acquisition makes sense on every level.
There needs to be mutual respect between publisher and developer.
They'll find that respect at WWS, this is good for Insomniac. WWS has a huge talent pool and they share knowledge and resources amongst each other.
Very excited to see what Insomniac can achieve under WWS.
I think we'll see a new Killzone before HORIZON, GG are very good at getting to know new hardware.
I also love RFoM, but feel the same about KZ2 - my favourite FPS MP from PS3.
Fair chance any remaster would be done by BluePoint. They've done amazing work this gen.
To get melt-box 360 anywhere near PS3, it actually cost more than just buying a PS3. It had it all and more than the product with one of the worst failure rates ever.
xbox360 + wireless adaptor + HDDVD add-on + Live
PS3 had Bluetooth, BluRay, free online multiplayer and was BC with previous consoles.
Insomniac should do whatever they want, they deserve every freedom to deliver the game they want.
victoMaje - Thank you for not taking my words out of context, appreciate your reply.
Fair enough mate - remember I was replying to someone who framed hype as "astronomical".
Not many things fall into that category at the moment. I think I did a reasonable job outlying what gets hyped on N4G.
You're free to disagree, everyone is.
Fair play to pessimistic bunch around, I'm one of them. ms don't give much confidence in their ability to deliver.
Have you been asleep the last 10yrs?
*Not on mixer though*
Another ms gig - another set of lofty promises.
Who needs game sales when you have gamepass? Kickspin nailed it about the animation, it looked horrible at it's reveal.
The devs should've fixed that.
It was fun before it got so big, the bloom on weapons was always annoying. Haven't touched it in over a year at least.
