As 2012 comes to an end and news of the next PS4 slowly starts to be leaked and rumored, the Daily Reaction crew of Dan and Seb crunch the numbers and discuss Sony’s future pricing structure.
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
A new Partner Spotlight Sale is now live on the Switch eShop, including Skyrim, lowest price ever for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and more.
As much as I want the greatest tech ever, I gotta be realistic. I love PlayStation, and for them to succeed they can't be too expensive.
This seems to be a very difficult balance and sensitive subject.
Everyone wants to talk the talk of wanting high specs, but nobody wants to pay for it. I am one of the minority that would pay a premium for pretty much any console if the games are there. I personally would say go with high specs and high price but usually a high price gets low sales. It is always the cheaper platform that enjoys the lucrative sales. Product moves from the shelves at a faster rate, while developer support is usually superior due to increased install base. Every high priced high spec platform that I can remember has always had a moderate install base with mediocre developer support.
If the Vita and early days of the PS3 are any indication of what would happen with high price and high specs. I would choose low for the greater good of the corporation. If you are forced to sell at a high price you are likely taking a loss on units sold as well. Making it difficult to drop the price of the unit in case of emergency.
Rated E For Everyone
For me it depends mostly on the games, I think. Don't get me wrong, I love me some sweet sweet graphics, and it's true that choppy framerates and slowdown/lag can take away from some experiences. Oh my yes. But as long as THAT can be avoided, games will sell me the system.
And as sad as it is to admit, while *I* might see the value in paying more, and people reading this site might see the value in paying more, the market at large usually doesn't (history shows). They might have to hold back a little bit on tech in order to keep costs lower.
But then, hey, this is all speculation of 1 gamer so....
Make it like the 360 , not absolutely crazy tech but enough to satisfy at a reasonable price . Yes i love Uncharted but a lot of people who didnt have 360's missed out .
I'd like to see a $399 price point. Sony should aim to cram whatever tech they can at that price. It should still be decent, nothing ground breaking like the PS3 but something that'll perform up to par with the NextBox.
