“Piracy won’t be as big on the next generation hardware” – Avalanche Studios

"There was a lot of brouhaha over anti-used games tech and its supposed presence on next-gen systems. Sony has been saying cryptic things while Microsoft is awfully quiet on this matter as well, but more will be revealed as we come closer to the next-gen console launch."

"Sony has been saying cryptic things"

how criptic is "no"?

ATi_Elite4085d ago

Very true if they keep making the same Generic Games that are not worth buying but make great Rentals.

Anyway Next Gen consoles may incorporate always on Online DRM!

Plus an influx of MMO type games will also combat piracy.

(Pretty much following in the PC's footsteps)

Lulz_Boat4085d ago

and i know why.
50+GB size.

Since Yoshida says 'no'..... then I have no reason to disagree.

Jek_Porkins4085d ago

I doubt that, DRM fails already, so I can imagine how that will continue to fail. The thing is, its like Star Wars said, the more you tighten your grip, the more the games will fall through their grasp.

There will always be piracy.

SnakeCQC4085d ago

piracy wasn't big this gen or are they confusing with the "evils" of second hand games

Gildarts4085d ago

Lol where have you been this Gen? This Gen should be known as the generation of piracy.

cero554085d ago

i will assume you have never owned a dreamcast or ps2?

TuxedoMoon4085d ago

Piracy will always be an issue, imo. No matter the generation, people will find ways to hack their consoles/games and copy games. This will probably only be another challenge for those pirates that have fun cracking consoles.

wishingW3L4085d ago

considering that both the next-Xbox and PS4 will either use x86 or x64 architectures then the fact that they will be hacked is a given. If they hacked the PS3 which is mostly custom tech then imagine what they will do to a console which is basically a PC?

xer04085d ago (Edited 4085d ago )

There is a difference between hacking and having your hardware keys leaked.

Lets be accurate about the PS3, 'hack'.

Gildarts4085d ago

No matter how it is done it is still hacked.

All Hopes I Had For A Prey Sequel Have Been Crushed — Well Done, Microsoft

The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.

RaidenBlack21h ago

well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3

MrBaskerville2h ago

But who knows, Dishonored 3 could have been Austins next project, so might be cancelled.

-Foxtrot20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Not even this Prey

Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy

The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.

RaidenBlack15h ago

MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well

Yui_Suzumiya4h ago

Yeah, that's who was going to do the original sequel.

isarai12h ago

Came here to say this, my hooes for a Prey sequel died when this "Prey" came out

Profchaos2h ago

Prey 2017 still hurts to play because what could have been looked so incredible

Profchaos2h ago

Same Bethesda basically screwed over the original developer team human head back around 2011 so it was really never going to come despite a honestly amazing trailer. I liked prey 2017 but it always held a stink of disappointment due to what we never got

LostPotato20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.

Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.

RaidenBlack15h ago

lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea

Unknown_Gamer57944h ago

To everyone who cheered MS’s acquisitions, we told you so…

Inverno2h ago

Those people will just argue that Arkane Austin and Tango would've been shut down either way.

MrBaskerville2h ago

Zenimax allready put them in a tight spot by demanding them to do a multiplayer title. So it's not unlikely, considering how bad the game performed. They didn't stand a chance. MS had the money to save them and to correct Zenimax' mistakes.

Persona 5 Royal is my top 10 game of all time. A true masterpiece.

Barlos11h ago

Same here. Not only is it one of my favourite RPGs, it's also one of my favourite ever games. I keep coming back to it time and time again.

CrimsonWing697h ago

4.8? This game is literally one of the best modern JRPGs. I’d give it the perfect score.

Top Spin 2K25 Review - TheGamer

TheGamer Writes "The tennis sim is as good as ever, but is lacking basic features that make this worthwhile at this stage."

The gameplay is fantastic. Not sure what can be more important then that?

HankHill12h ago

I like how one of the cons is that it's the only tennis game on the market. What does that have to do with the game?
