Six years and eight months after the PS3 European launch, and with 80m consoles sold worldwide in the interim, the new PlayStation is finally here. Sony has positioned the angular new PS4 as a purebred gaming machine, with a powerful hardware specification and no multimedia fripperies to be seen.
Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson stated in a recent EA Earnings Call, that the next Battlefield "it is going to be another tremendous live service.”
Another? ANOTHER?
Is he honestly trying to make out like the last Battlefield was a huge success, not just as a game but as a live service game? I'm sure these guys live in their own echo chambers, they are so far removed from reality or they just like talking out of their arse trying to rewrite history.
Also why say such a tone deaf statement when you know the state of live service games at the minute and how many gamers feel about them. Bigging up the next BF game as live service does not give me any excitement or hype.
This is nothing too new

They had plans of a universe of live service games
Also these studios made 2042 there is no new massive team its the same team

This is all again same news different year but it seems very few remember what happened before covid.
Already on Steam with some of the finest review shouts you'll ever likely see, Amanda the Adventurer is soon coming to all major consoles
UK indie outfit Roll7 is reportedly facing closure, along with Bethesda’s Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin – but if making award-running, profitable games doesn’t guarantee safety, what will?
Idk. Great games have still been releasing. Mcsft is still no different than after the 360 era. PS, you just have to wait many years for. Nintendo is readying next gen and will definitely have many games. 3rd party and indies have been the highlight so far this year.
Yeah but the games coming out have been in development for many years so they're not affected by this issue.
This is more about the future.
I would say that indies will continue to put out interesting games at least. They need to avoid buyouts though or they're in danger of ending up like Roll7.
Part of the issue is that CEOs created projections based on the Covid years. Now that the line/Growth™ isn't going up, they're overcorrecting for stakeholders despite good profits. There's a certain mindlessness to it.
Hopefully with inflation down and more realistic projections, things will level out.
The bad thing is these ceos should now those numbers are bad faith and should know better then to use those numbers.
Yea ok.. Microsoft is no different than the 360 era eh… what in tarnation have u been smoking to not only come to that conclusion but to consciously post it publicly.
Not really, what's happening is the sh!tty AAA industry is finally collapsing and things will revert back to mid-tier being the dominant tier like back in the day.
Just got mine this weekend. Love that DualShock 4. It feels good in my hands.
Fantastic system.
Can't wait to get my hands on mine.
It is a very well made console. I can't wait for the top tier developers to release their games.
Excellent console, a few things it could use to make it even better but so far there's nothing that needs immediate improvement IMO. Love the DS4, it fits much better in your hands and the R2/L2 buttons feel much more natural now. Not to mention the built in speaker is kind of cool, and regardless of what some people may say the touch pad is a nice add, as well as the light bar(dont understand why people want the option to turn it off). Just need more games to play on it, and yes I know Sony will deliver the goods lol, just patiently waiting till then. 2014 has a lot of games for me to enjoy and I can't wait, really enjoying Tomb Raider and i'm waiting on Thief, Infamous and MGS and i'll be set for a while. O yeah, Drive club and Planetside 2 need to hurry the F up as well!
