The gaming market hasn’t been as interesting in years as it is right now. Sony has asserted its dominance entirely, and shows no signs of stopping or even slowing down on the back of a hugely exciting lineup of exclusives. Nintendo has struck back with the Switch, and it looks on pace to reclaim its position in the market. And Microsoft is doubling down for the launch of the Xbox One X later this year.
Embracer CEO demonstrates a masterclass in mental gymnastics in latest interview.
"I'm sure I deserve a lot of criticism, but I don't think my team or companies deserve all the criticism. I could take a lot of that blame myself. But ultimately I need to believe in the mission," he said.
OK give us Kingdoms of Amalur 2 with AAA budget and we will accept your excuse
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
We explore the Sega classics that are ripe for revival! From Panzer Dragoon Saga to Virtua Fighter, discover why these legendary games deserve a comeback on next-gen consoles. Dive into a nostalgic journey and see which Sega titles are set to captivate a new generation of gamers in 2024.
Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I was hesitant to put these two on. I've personally played more PSO than the RPG version. And shame on me, I don't remember much about Shining Force to talk about it properly.
That said, so many Sega licences deserve their place in this list.
A new Phantasy Star in the numbered series would be amazing. Shining Force too. But I’d settle on some collections as that’s probably the best we will get
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
There's an incredible amount of value in that box for that price. It's not just about the hardware and the video game graphical settings but the services as well.. 4k blueray for movies, backwards compatibility and a much improved UI/console online system.. It even has a true sata 3 interface for SSD nuts like me who really want those extra 6 seconds every time I walk into a house in a Bethesda game.
..Other than the switch it's the only console that's come out in the last few years that's been able to impress me. And yes, I do mean the pro was horrible and I really wish it ended up being more rather than an upscale box that didn't deliver a Bloodborne patch because it's obvious they want to make some sort of 100 dollar remaster for the ps5 more popular.
You know, or rather it's my experience, to bold the replies of the interviewed. Not the questions of the interviewer.
And Pachter's seems to be MS's: only looking at numbers. The big numbers.
Its not that one AAA sells 5 to 10 million making massive profit, cause those days are gone, but rather five sub-AAA sell a million each making enough of sequels or other projects. That's how a console, as a general gaming platform, has value.
Again pacther Nope
Pachter says a lot of interesting things sometimes, all of them come true. He's never missed the mark, not once, but it's his job to make predictions, and predictions are... Well, not precise. Most of his predictions do have a lot of research backing them (there's a whole team behind him), so it's not like he's making baseless claims: Noooo! He's intelligent, friendly, and overall trustworthy (and good looking for a man of his age) , and he never ever would dare to state the obvious, (What's trendy at the time).
