Jon Ireson of RealGamerNewz discusses Microsoft's looming digital strategies within the gaming sector as well as recent occurrence involving other software they have put into digital spin and how their strategy with next gen Xbox can be improved because of it.
Wardens Rising is looking like a promising new take on the ARPG genre, especially when played with friends.
"The Bristol-based (the UK) indie games publisher Auroch Digital and indie games developer Positech Games, today announced with great happiness and thrill that their hit-political title "Democracy 4: Console Edition", is coming to consoles (PS4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores on June 5th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Set to bring action adventuring to PC and console, Mark of the Deep is a narrative rich game which mixes in some decent ideas
I still think all digital isn't going to happen this generation but we'll definitely see a bigger push in that direction.
Whether people like it or not, digital distribution is here to stay and will play a big part of next gen gaming. It is a scary thought though considering for example playststion saying all psn purchases will not work on ps4. I am impartial when it comes to digital gaming but I think it should be cheaper than retail.
Are they saying all Xbox 720 or whatever games will be digital? I find that hard to believe. If they did that stores would refuse to sell their console. Why sell hardware you can't sell software for? They need to offer both. They also need to include a Blu-ray drive in their console. The next generation will definitely need more disc space than DVD can handle.
