The racing genre is undoubtedly one of the busiest sectors of the gaming industry during the next few months, and the few weeks prior. With more than a handful of racers launching within two months of each other, it's safe to say competition is at an all time high. Even with the mighty competition, Ubisoft has managed to create what could be the best racer of the year, The Crew.
The Outerhaven writes: With the closure of The Crew's online servers, Ubisoft has started removing access to the game from anyone who owns it on Ubisoft Connect.
Wait. I don't get it. I reported on something that I recently noticed. I did mention in my article that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't gone to play The Division 2. That said, if this was nearly a week ago, I wouldn't know, as NO ONE REPORTED ON IT! Not IGN. Not Gamespot. Not Kotaku. No one.
You got people here complaining that there are any real gaming journalists and game journalism sucks, but when someone is acting, doing something to make something known to the public about what a company is doing. What do you do? You poke fun at it. What is it that people want? Do you want to complain for the sake of it? Or do you actually want people to do something to make those who aren't in the know aware of the shady stuff that's happening and to sound the alarm?
It's the "oh well" setting in on digital users. They don't care they don't own their stuff for some odd reason. 🤷🏽.
Good for you! People sometimes just feel the need to show how little they actually have to say. Very respectful dressing down, btw, which is another thing we need more of.
I appreciate your article,
- "If this isn’t considered both a “WTF” moment and setting a dangerous precedent, I don’t know what else it would be"
- "it could also signal other publishers that removing games from our accounts would be okay"
- "Maybe those firmly against this digital future have a point after all"
- "This. Is. Fucked. Up."
As someone against an only-digital/streaming future for entertainment content (movies/TV shows/games/books), it feels like talking into a void about the points above on this website, or on Twitter, or with my friends, etc. People don't get it. I'm strongly contemplating whether this will be my last generation of PlayStation & Xbox consoles (I'm confident enough that Nintendo's next system will still support physical media and that their 1st-party games won't have online-required installation or usage restrictions).
He is one of the long running trolls of this site, he never says anything positive. Every single one of his posts are either incorrect or flat out stupid. Pay him no mind.
I'm so done with Ubisoft, removing games one paid for is a new low...
Bye Ubisoft,
You've done f#c*ed it up !
This was me 9 years ago, when I realized all they wanted to make were filler boring games that are packed with micro-trash-actions.
Snooze! Moving on from Ubi-junk!
I see they're trying their best to surpass Activision Blizzard for being the most hated gaming company. Keep at it, Ubisoft, I believe!
The series' next iteration is coming this year.
Hideo Kojima has been showing off his upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive, Death Stranding, to various folk across the industry. And the common thread across every showing is the party involved leaves the demo blown away, including most recently Julian Gerighty, a Creative Director over at Ubisoft.
Honestly can’t wait for this game. Been reading a lot of the potential backstory based on the trailers and it seems to hit at Kojima’s sci-fi fantasy methods.
I'm hoping (or expecting) to see some weird cosmic horror/fantasy elements in that game. From what I've seen it definitely seems to be leaning towards the unseen and unexplained.
I’m expecting some purgatory and real world bridging. Something like the two realms blending and being connected.
They’ve been focusing on death and time as two concepts. But a cosmic twist in the story would be amazing. Something like the zoo hypothesis.
Kojima said the game shares inter dimensional travel like Spooder-Man Into the Spooderverse.
My Pro and uhd TV are ready for this whenever it comes out.. Looks definitely intriguing
Aren't you intrigued by what you've seen? Impressed by the graphics and art style? Excited to find out more about it?
All of that applies to me, I certainly can't wait play it.
I've not found it intriguing so far, weird some times, but I haven't found it at all interesting yet. Graphically the game looks good, but that's never been enough to make me like a game, let alone buy it.
Maybe I've missed some of the teasers, but so far I don't know what it's about nor what the game play might be like.
You literally have mo imagination, how sad. Your not human if you don't feel alittle intrigued surely
I've never finished an MGS game, I generally find them boring and/or stupid. So I don't blindly get excited about a game just because Kojima is making it. I'll give it a chance, but I'm not buying it so far based on what I've seen, I need to see more.
Looks King Kojima is friends with alot of game developers. What a wise king with wise advisors.
This reminds me of how Mark Cerny also consulted many developers before doing the PS4.
Oh Decima Engine of KZ4, Until Dawn and Horizon Zero Dawn is freaken amazing!!!
Yet another Ps4 Masterpiece in the making. I'm officially avoiding any more trailers for this game, I feel like I've seen way too much.
You’ve seen too much of nothing because kf how cryptic everything shown looks so far. I am liking the creepy presentation so far
Yup, that E3 gameplay demo, and trailer were enough to sell me. Time to sit back and wait for the release date and/or PS5 launch announcement (wouldn't be surprised at this point).
Redbox will have to buy thousands of copies, not even the haters will be able to skip this game.
It's funny that I got so many dislikes for not wanting to purchase a game but instead rent it
I disagreed with you because i think it’s dumb to use redbox.
I’m pretty this game is gonna be 30 plus hours.
You got charge every day when you don’t return it for Redbox. Might as well buy it.
Do you not like it when people disagree with your opinion?
"I'm gonna Redbox the crap out of this game."
Or, you know, you could support the developer and their efforts by actually purchasing their game.
Nevermind, just checked out RangerWalk's comment history, wowzers that's some heavy trolling.
I can't wait for this game. It's going to be refreshing seeing Kojima work on something other than MGS. Before you say anything, I know he's worked on other games before. I wonder if this will be finished in time to be on the ps4 or will it make it to the ps5.
All i see is a lot of praise for Dead Stranding and Kojima from developers.
Not only from Sony First Party developers but also from independent third party developers.
This game must be something special.
Can't wait😎
Yeah, I don't even know what kind of gameplay this is going to have, but boy am I excited for it! Lol.
The only problem is it looks like a PS2 game...
We will see.... forza horizon 2 has 200 cars at launch, a massive map, 672 races in 168 championship events, XP collectibles, fast travel collectibles, 5 showcase races, 10 barn collectibles, road trips, 30 speed traps/zones, and 25 driving perks, and open world online.
Literally hundreds of hours of gaming. If the crew compares it will be surprising.
