Gaming is evolving year by year and there seem to be no signs of slowing down. Here's what we think the future of gaming could hold.
When the PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S first launched all the way back in 2020, console sales were not what either platform manufacturer wanted them to be. The pandemic slowed things down more than ever before, even though in the case of each next-gen console, all the units that were manufactured, sold.
Of course that didn’t last, and soon manufacturing limitations on the consoles were a thing of the past, and sales started to leap forward. For one next-gen console platform, at least.
I can see why Microsoft is putting their games on PlayStation with these numbers
Imagine how many copies of future games like Elder Scrolls VI, Blade, Indiana Jones and more they could sell if they went fully multiplatform.
Sucker Punch’s massive samurai adventure Ghost of Tsushima has come under fire because of the PSN requirement. However, unlike Helldivers 2, things are a lot different and more logical this time.
"Sony has made it clear long before its release that the PSN requirement is strictly for the online multi-player Legends mode in Ghost of Tsushima and the PlayStation overlay. Online connection or PSN is not applied to the single-player campaign, which is honestly what the game is all about."
Legends clearly was based around using the pan they hardly want to have to design a whole new account structure just to play it, that's alot of effort and work. Ultimately people kicked up a fuss despite there being workarounds in most of those territories that people with a ps console have used over there for literally like 15/16 years. This is the consequence of that, be careful what you wish for or demand because you don't necessarily get to pick the method by which you get it.
CG writes: In this video we take a look at the full game of HAMMER95’s Mullet MadJack on PC in 4K. This is a rather cool rogue-like first-person shooter where you have to survive for 10 seconds by increasing your timer for each kill. Not the most original of ideas, but works wonders in context of the 80/90s aesthetic. Game releases May 15th.
It looks grim.
You can only have fun if you pay hundreds on microtransactions in a single game.
disgusting! incomplete and unoptimized games with 10 paid dlc's in a span of a few years
Heavily monetized pay to win GASS
I honestly don't have much hope for consoles and AAA. MTX are still a things that hasn't been very regulated and subscription services are getting worse. Not just in gaming but in many other industries, to the point where hardware and software has been held hostage til people fork over more money.
I think where the most interesting things are happening right now is on the PC hardware side. Handheld PC's are probably the coolest thing I've seen happening so far. VR also doesn't seem to be slowing down and I think we'll start to see more focus on that along with AR in the decade.
