Press Blue - Well, chances are the pattern will once again follow similar lines as last time around, whereby thousands claimed the end of the PC gaming era was well and truly upon us and were summarily forced to eat their words when mind-blowingly powerful PCs once again left consoles in the dust.
All in all therefore, expect the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox 720 to raise the bar for gaming as we know it, only for said bar to be summarily re-raised once again by the next-generation PCs to follow
"30XX is one of the best roguelikes out there, combining the tight platforming action of the Mega Man X series with the challenge and randomization that roguelike fans crave. Batterystaple Games has done lots of refinement through updates since 30XX first appeared on Steam Early access a few years ago. The latest such update adds a new character for free, one who combines the best attributes of the two existing characters. Also, the Steam version is on sale, making it a great time to travel to the distant year of 30XX!" says Co-Optimus.
"Hammerwatch II's journey to Xbox has been long and perilous. After first launching on Steam in the fall of 2023, the game finally turned up on PlayStation 5 last December. Since then, Xbox gamers who enjoyed the original Hammerwatch and the sublime Heroes of Hammerwatch have been anxiously awaiting their turn at the long-promised sequel. At last, the wait is nearly over because Hammerwatch II will hit Xbox and PlayStation 4 on April 23," says Co-Optimus.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
40 million have set sail...that's great. How many are sailing now? Monthly active users....when it actually matters. How many people purchased the game is another important number.
You don't get numbers like that from MS mouth pieces, they just like to say stuff like "this game was looked at 129 million time, the biggest amount of people browsing a game of this genre on xbox gamepass ever in the last 3 weeks compared to before gamepass was out (small print only 2 million bothered playing longer than 20 seconds and only 100 people are playing it concurrently)
It's all smoke and mirrors
There are usually around 10,000 concurrent users on Steam not counting Xbox or PS but really it doesn't matter as long as there are enough people on the servers to play which there always were and will be for a long time now with the PS players coming on board. Same goes for how many people bought it and how many are on GP, we aren't the accountants of these console companies so why would we care?
Reporting on MAU stats is very misleading. Other companies publish units sold, MS cannot or will not due to Game Pass. We all know that their prior startegies have not panned out so now they have to actually sell games on other consoles. In any case, SoT is doing impressive preorders on PS5 and will very likely motivate Satya to release more games other than the four indicated games on their competitor's consoles. Take note Phil is radio silent....
40 Mil across Stream, Windows 10, and Xbox. Healthy numbers for sure, but when PC is the biggest platform, I expected more. It’ll be interesting to see how it does on PlayStation. Very well could be double that player count in 6 months with PS too. It’s crazy for developers to skip the most popular platform, not sure why they’d want to, but they must have had their rea$ons.
Games on the PS3 and Xbox 360 looked a lot alike. I think there will be even less difference between multiplatform games this time.
The PS3 and 360 were so different in architecture, yet the games were nearly identical. The new consoles will be practically identical in architecture.
Fanboys will have less and less reason to fight...
No DVD multi-plat downgrade this time, hopefully.
description is pretty much dead on. consoles will be a bit better than average broke guy's PC until waddayakno some crazy good tech comes cheaper and the PC is beyond the consoles. if you are really picky and technical like some PC gaming elitists, you could even say the consoles never innovated anything in the first place but i prefer to see both as necessary and fun as hell.
And the WiiU isn't yeah alright lets get this straight the WiiU has shown NEXTGEN high end pc level graphics already with games like Trine2 and many eshop games use dx11 technology,the upcoming NFS and Gianna sisters game both use high end pc graphics ??? WiiU has proven its next gen.
