Hardcore Gamer: Activision has revealed the box art for the upcoming Angry Birds Star Wars console release. As expected, it features Angry Birds in Star Wars costumes and not too much else. The good news is that the box art reveals that the console versions will contain “exclusive new levels.”
Despite what the analysts like to repeat like broken record players, physical games really aren't going anywhere.
"Even in the case that physical games do die out, there will always be somebody out there who will look to release it physically to what is still a baying crowd."
Assuming that was meant to say "buying crowd". That's it in a nutshell. Supply and demand. I would love to believe that physical will always be an option. My gut tells me that won't always be the case. There is a reason why GameStop is nearly a dead business and it is because of the rise of digitally downloaded games. It sucks, but it is what it is.
Right now the problem with digitally downloaded games is the congestion the internet due to people staying at home. I tried to run a speed test yesterday as my internet was slow and the speed test said there were too many people using speed test and try again later. That's insane. Imagine trying to download a 50 GB game. Makes physical games look really good right now.
DVDs and Blu-Rays haven't died, despite things like streaming services functioning even better sometimes, so of course physical games aren't going to die either.
Not until the price drops digital is a big rip off it may be convenient but not worth it . I only buy sale games digital at most 25 pounds
The author makes some really interesting points. You simply cannot trust that publishers/corporations will keep their game license active and you never have to worry about that if you have the physical disc.
Just look at what Konami did to P.T.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Ever since the advent of full-game downloads on consoles, it seems the market has slowly been shifting towards a digital future where games are delivered through internet connections rather than physical disks. While the convenience this brings is undeniable, and plenty of gamers have embraced having a stuffed memory card in their Vita, there are major pitfalls that are slowly beginning to show, one of which is that games can be delisted without any prior warning, leaving them lost to time unless you bought them before they disappeared."
There have been some incredible Star Wars games, but there's also some that LucasArts would rather players forget. Here are the 10 worst Star Wars games.
I remember thinking The Masters of Teras Kasai was awesome as a kid..................man I was dumb.
ahhahahaha 40$, thats 39$ too much.
Wait wait hold the phone. They are releasing this as a physical copy. What. It is a downloadable game (not a big one at that)
What kills me about this is we are constantly getting some really awesome digital titles lately.. That I wish were physical. Especially on PSN.. and this bull crap manages to be able to be on a physical disc..?
Goodness.. Talk about screwed up priorities. I feel bad for all the grandparents and parents who will end up buying this crap for $40 dollars cause they don't know any better.
I swear I truly cannot stand this kind of stuff. If I had the time and money, I would have a lawyer making a case of this. Cause this is pure robbery.
That have some huge balls that is for sure.
Haha please no-one buy this
Nooooooooo , save us from these freakin angry birds. Send the bastards to anger management already.
