Kotaku reporter Jason Schreier spoke about the canceled Visceral Games Star Wars game today, saying the cancellation was not due to it being single-player.
The Hogwarts Legacy video game is on sale for the lowest price yet. You can get the Standard Edition on Steam for $29.99 down from $59.99 (that's $30 off). And, the Digital Deluxe Edition can be picked up for just $59.99, which is $59.99 off its usual price of $119.98.
50% is about as far as I made it through the game too. It started so strong in and around the castle... $30 feels about right though
Palworld is a runaway success for developer Pocketpair, but creator Takuro Mizobe isn't looking to make triple-A Xbox games anytime soon.
Saad from eXputer: "Despite the success of Hogwarts Legacy, WB's decided to focus on live service and I've lost all hope for a potential sequel."
Let's just chalk this game up as a fantastic one-off, and WB can go f******* rot in hell.
I have no idea how eceutive teams can look at both Hogwarts and suicide squad next to each other and go hey our critical and commercial darling was a fluke suicide squad was the real success they just didn't know it.
Seemingly there's some weird ego involved someone wants to be proven right
I bought thought it was okay first 10 hrs then boy did the repeative gameplay kick in
They will realize that live service games die pretty much as soon as they begin and then they’ll stop and we may still get a sequel.
I'm sorry but I call bullshit, the EA official statement made multiple loose comments on the fact that it was due to it being single player, among other things like the "changed market" which obviously reflects on multiplayer and the MTs/Lootboxes they could add. Not to mention you have to look at EA's history with single player focused games...oh yeah, that's right....there's hardly any.
Sounds like damage control. I can see his other tweets saying well "investors don't like hearing the project was a mess" but I'm pretty sure if it was a mess development wise investors would know then and there. I highly doubt investors sinking so much money into something wouldn't keep a close eye on development
"closely tracking fundamental shifts in the marketplace. It has become clear that to deliver an experience that players will want to come back to and enjoy for a long time to come, we needed to pivot the design."
Sounds like they want to shift it to multiplayer to me.
Jade Raymond teamed up with the wrong developer
They should close instantly dice after releasing a game without sp ( Battlefront 1). Seems like they did not learn anything. Not everyone wants a mp game
Absolutely gutted, this was my most anticipated game behind cyberpunk 2077. I don't like the way the game industry is heading. Games are becoming so expensive to make ( dead space 2 £60million ) that it is becoming to risky unless there is a guaranteed way of recouping the money ( multiplayer, microtransactions, dlc, loot boxes ). I genuinely think big AAA single player games will be very rare from now on which sucks. Obviously there are games which will always do well like Mario and Zelda because they are established and games like the last of us 2 but beyond that i don't think there's going to be a lot.
