This week on rawDLC the lads look at industry chatter with Miyamoto’s thoughts on the PS Vita and David Doak detailing the production woes of Star Wars: Battlefront III. The duo give their impressions on The Elder Scrolls Online and Company of Heroes 2 before double tapping reviews on Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning – Teeth of Naros and episode one of The Walking Dead.
During a panel at GDC 2024, Elder Scrolls Online Game Director Matt Firor noted that the MMO has generated a staggering amount of player spending over its decade of operation—almost $2 billion.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
The Elder Scrolls Online has accumulated over 24 million players over the years. The RPG hit the milestone on its 10th anniversary.
