This past June, fans had their first opportunity to experience CrossfireX in the open beta, and as part of the Xbox Games Showcase today we are excited to debut a first look at the CrossfireX campaign.
Wait, weren't these sort of games supposed to be the future?
Good. Love it.
Personally I think because they are mostly the same sh&t and there is only room for a limited number of them thriving at the same time.
Isn't it kind of obvious? The market can only support so many. Everyone wants a piece of the pie, so they try and grab a slice, but many fail because they're chasing a trend someone else was already successful at instead of bringing something new.
Because they're focused on making money, appealing to addictive traits, than actually being fun.
It's been a tough week to be a live-service game. CrossfireX might just have it worse than any other recent shutdown.
The industry needs to wake up and start making real games again. Start making full engaging single player games. The gaas models is starting die because they're all either, competing for your tome or too, too much alike, or simply not compelling enough. The market is flooded with these games. Cross Fire is next up at the chopping block.
I can't say I'm too upset. Again, the industry needs to make real games again and stop chasing trends.
'Remedy had been working on the single-player portion since 2016.'.
More development hell.
But I was told that live service games are more of a guaranteed money maker than one and done single player games
YES!!! LET LIVE SERVICES BURN DOWN!!!
But seriously though, just make complete games and stop chasing fortnites success.
An important update regarding the future of CrossfireX
I remember MS parading this off at E3 and hyping it up. Just smoke and mirrors like Halo infinite.
This was the best looking game of the show to me. It looks like Call of Duty meets Splinter Cell, but with the potential for a good story.
Kinda had the Tom Clancy's Call of Duty vibe.
In Remedy I believe.
