Instead of a direct sequel, Need for Speed went 'live service', here's why...
“We wanted to crack the nut and prove that Need for Speed could do live service."
“We’re ultimately making a game for a bunch of people to play, and we need to make sure those people are happy with the decisions we make. They constantly come with things we hadn’t thought of.”
“Could do live service,” Y’know, you’re so preoccupied with if you could you didn’t stop think if you should. I bought Unbound, bit I will not spend any money on a GaaS game. Wish you all the best.
Digital Foundry : Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is here, and after a troubling review period the day one patch has improved a lot. Here's Alex Battaglia on PC and Series X/S.
"No matter what you put in a game, it will get found."
Aligns with the gap in COD sales. XBOX is not in trouble, it's simply not relevent.
And here come the OO alt accounts. Lol live for this this... stay out of the sales threads dude, you will not cope.
Does this mean PS5 is doing well? Or does this mean Xbox series is doing badly?
Xbox momentum died when Red Fall launched and we found out Starfield was going to be 30 fps. When that happened, the positive sentiments Xbox was enjoying up untill then mostly evaporated. No one played hellblade 2 even though it was included with game pass and they are making the same mistake with Avowed with it being 30 fps. Phil should have mandated that all 1st party studios build their games with 60fps in mind.
They also need to make 1st party games stand out on their platform much like Sony does with their exclusives. For example, why should we play Indiana Jones on the Xbox vs the PS5/Pro?
ps5 doing really well
xbox doing not so well.
