Jonathan Bester from ITF Gaming writes: "For several years now we've had the luxury of having the latest patches for our games delivered directly to our consoles via the respective console's online service. While this has been great, there has been a sharp decline in quality when it comes to the initial launch product. It seems the days of quality assurance are numbered, as unfinished products reaching the consumer have become quite prominent and as such the need for day one patches is becoming more common-place."
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
A renowned industry insider has suggested the rumored PlayStation May 2024 showcase featuring Silent Hill 2 could happen this week.
Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.
Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.
Here is a look at the new Joker Trailer. Warner Bros. Games today released a new MultiVersus trailer revealing the first look at gameplay for The Joker, who will join the roster as a playable character when the upcoming free-to-play platform fighter videogame launches on May 28th.
It is sad to say but why should they bother. We now test the games. As long as it is playable people just assume it is the norm and will be fixed. I wish publications (review sites) take bugs into their review scores (non patched versions) as they can hold some sway.
I do miss the era of developers making sure their games work. Now it is rare to see a game with only minor bugs.
Absolutely. Now it's pretty common for a company to just release a game riddled with bugs and wait for fan's outrage before fixing it.
this is why i rarely buy games on day 1. i usually wait like 2 or 3 months
This gen has made the developers a bunch of lazy bastards, im glad that those people didnt decided to be Doctors i wouldnt had liked to be their patient.
*Cough. BETHESDA
