Quasar is an arcade space shooter. The game pits you against up to nine other pilots in an obstacle filled arena where players compete on leaderboards. But can it be an eSport like developers OSnap! Games hope?
For the first time, the video games for mobile in 2016 will generate more revenue counterparty for PC and consoles. According to new estimates published by Newzoo, smartphones and tablets this year will account for 37% of 99.58 billion dollars in total sales of games worldwide, compared to 32% achieved on the PC games and 31% on gaming consoles.
Interesting to know! would have been nice to see a full breakdown of each area to see if mobile gaming is a massive the world over or being driven by set markets. Also great to see the PC out doing consoles.
Replies(1)Replies(1)Amazed it took this long considering how many smartphones there are in the world compared to consoles. And then you have all the games like Clash of Clans with people buying gems. Anything from £3.99 here and there sounds better than £40 for season pass, but then it is possible to spend £79.99 on gems if you are that mad!!
Konami was right? Naw. I think mobile gaming will plateau. Also, those free to play games are driven by addicts and could one day face a lawsuit for unfair trade practices. Preying on addicts is bad, mmmkay.
I spent roughly $3,000 on hardware last year and $600 on software. These estimates only factor in software. I know I am outlier in this regard, but I think 2016 may be the first year in a while I spent less on hardware than software. I'm not planning any upgrades this year ... yet ... waiting on news of the X80s ...
