GamesBeat's Sebastian Haley: At a recent preview event in San Francisco, I had the chance to go hands-on with an entire area of the game — an underground carnival — as well as sit down with Gilbert himself to talk about The Cave and his thoughts on digital distribution over traditional retail.
Double Fine Productions announced today that some of the developer’s mobile games on iPhone and iPad will not be updated when iOS 11 is released later this year.
As 2017 is now upon some of us, the second title in the recently announced Games With Gold January 2017 line-up is now available to download via the Microsoft Store.
misleading headlines u tools , I thought they meant KI season2 until closer reading . Of course ' the second xbox game is now showing as free ' ffs it usually is on the first of the month.
I got KI out of that also. The title states "Second Xbox Games with Gold title" which would mean KI since its the second game out of the month.
Neil writes "So here we are at the start of a new calendar year and the Xbox Games With Gold scheme is once more delivering four free titles to the masses. But following on from the awesome December 2016 offerings, January is going to have to bring us something damn great in order to top it.
Does it? Well, no. Not at all."
Because it's new to the X1, I'm holding back judgement on VH, as it could be decent.
That looks like it would be a cool tower defense type of game. I'm all in it for Killer Instinct. I have it downloaded but it's the free to play model and this season will unlock more for me to enjoy. I would love it if they released an updated physical release that includes all the seasons up to current.
Rayman is a solid platformer, but most excited about KI season 2, its a great fighting game revived from days gone by thats different than your standard fighting game like SF and free :)
Every time I hear a dramatic prognostication like this, I shake my head.
'Gilbert: The hard truth is that I think physical media is dead. It just doesn’t know it yet. We live in a world where most people have broadband at home.'
Gilbert my boy, most people have broadband that much is true, but for me to download the likes of MGS4 or Uncharted 3 it would take a day, A DAY. I could honestly buy online and have it shipped quicker than that, cheaper as well.
Buying games digitally for consoles is ridiculously overpriced in the UK right now, I've seen prices as high as £59.99 in some cases!
Digital as an option? Yes, I vote for that and support it.
Digital for mandatory? You f-ing crazy!
Some games I can see digital only however ALL games? Even if everyone had 100+ Mbps internet you still have to factor in caps, down times, and the fact that not everyone has internet still.
@rupert
We will have abandoned optical disks for a type of flash memory cartridge long before it's all digitally downloaded.
Not everywhere in the world has japans blazing fast internet speeds.
Btw digitally downloaded only lol, then you run into the hdd slowing your system down greatly because ssd are too expensive per gigabyte versus old harddisc drives.
You just traded one bottleneck for another, brilliant move there buddy taking a unnecessary performance hit.
Just because your setup is perfect for dd doesn't mean it's the same for everyone. Maybe for casuals or people who beat a game 1 time and never touch it again, dd is perfect for collectors not ideal.
Consoles aren't a pc.
