Take-Two Interactive recently held their quarterly earnings call with their investors and in the process they've shared a few interesting details regarding their plans for mobile and console releases over the next year, with the latter seeing fewer than the previous period.
But he's still firm that physical games aren't going away.
Gamers have the power and they are the Ives who will decide if physical stays or not.. physical is here to stay, but good that a guy like this confirms
Fking word. Physical is the key. People would be surprised because the misconceptions out there but there's a sh ton of us that still prefer this route
One high end console has always been a benefit. The other is no longer a necessity.
Only competition there ever was, was when one launched a year to a year and a half early. Based on this generation, the other would have to launch 2 to 4 years early just to compete. Because buying a huge part of the industry, having a multiple game sleep mode, cheaper in price, smaller form factor, supposedly having better BC and a day one subscription service, has still resulted in another huge ass kicking.
Yay for physical Take Two.
I wouldn't really call it competing when a company is dead last in sales when compared to the rival company. I will always stick around for physical copies of games. Moment games go all digital is the day I bring the SNES and Genesis out of hibernation and just stick to retro.
Take-Two announced its financial results for Q3 of the fiscal year on top of an update to sales figures of Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption 2, and more.
So 2.47% of the global population have a copy of gta v no wonder they don't want to release vi there's still so many people who haven't brought v
Obvious sarcasm here
Ha ha, we should probably count that a lot of people have 2 or 3 copies by now, for different platforms.
To think that 5mil sold is considered a huge success for any game in general, and 10 is amazing. I cannot believe people are still buying this.
I keep saying that’s why the 7th generation was the most loved because of gta5 and Skyrim.
Well hopefully millions went to gta 6 singleplayer mode to make it extra epic but knowing rockstar nowadays there won't be a full support for singleplayer, mainly online will be the focus i bet but I hope atleast theres plenty to do in the open world and not just look good with little to nothing to do, after gta 6 ain no tellin when we will get another rockstar title even tho the mfs sucked in millions from red dead 2 as well I miss when we got more than 1 game a gen from them they always delivered, so many key staff members left not even just the well known names
Forbes writes: "While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two."
Yeah I'm thinking this CEO has not heard of of quality over quantity.
I think pacing is more important than game length.
Exactly but that they want to charge a base $70 price. Honestly only way things will change is a major gaming crash. People say it’s not possible but history has through the greed leaves fi bad decisions and that ends up crashing the market
Too many suits who never heard of games just want to invest so they can make a profit. They rather have the least amount of development resources. So many OG R* devs have already already
Coming from the same company that charge for Xbox360/PS3, Xbox 1/PS4, and Xbox X or S/PS5
Yep and Spiderman 2 is like 10 bucks. Disappointed in both titles for their length raise prices and they shorten campaign stories.
Expect a mayor digital service to take this into consideration for their 15 year plans.
What a greedy idiot.
I swear they are trying to push us to that with services.
I say F you GTA guy.
Lmao how greedy can they get, sit on piles of cash and still want more. Then they have the cheek to release half assed remasters.
Due to this statement I am going to wait and buy GTA 6 when it is at 20 bucks. Its not like there are not more than enough other good games to play.
I hear you, but can you even get GTA 5 for $20 unless it’s a sale or something? They have milked every ounce out of that game, and kept the price above $40 for at least 5 years after its launch.
He can with a physical copy. Which is why they are pushing us to digital only future.
I dont agree with him as far as sentiment but I do buy my games like that. I'll pay full price for rpgs but not a shorter game unless it's an uncharted or last of us type game(not just those literally) I'm more inclined to pay full price for a dragon quest games instead of a Alan wake or something to that extent.
I got a lot of hours in Uncharted playing on hardest difficulty but I get what you are saying. Callisto Protocol , Bright Menory Infinite and short games like that I will generally wait on those.
I go the opposite route. Games like Bright Memory and such I pay for full price and leave the longer games.
Those couple you named are what I'd call my 20 dollar games or less. Unless it's a buy 1 get 1 then I'd try to find 2 of those types for 20 to 30
I like the way you think, I do the same. I spend 100hrs+ on RPG so I usually pay full price, single player games like Spiderman 2 I likely only spend $40.
I do the other way around. I'm likely to not complete a game you have to invest hours upon hours into, that's why I wait until they are cheaper.
I really don't like the state the games industry is in at the moment . . .
omfg
When I said the mobile scourge would be the death of gaming no one believed me. Behold.
Lol mobile phones are probably the worst thing ever to happen to the gaming industry. I remember the days when flash games where free and didn't involve paying to get the next level unlocked. Actually I just insulted flash games by even comparing them. If only kids and casuals didn't have to be involved to fund the game industry and the developers actually realized having to pay for little bits of a game to actually play it is complete bullshit.
I don't want to believe my favorite hobby of playing games on a video game system is going to die... but when the amount of good big budget games being made are becoming rare it's not looking good. Plus 90% of the triple a games I bought on PS4 were buggy, bad framerate, bad story, short story, not worth $60, and ripped apart into dlc plans that you would realize after buying where even bigger disappointments than the already disappointing game. I mean LittleBigPlanet 3 was horrible at launch and still is bad. Sleeping Dogs still runs bad. Saints Row IV crashes almost every time I play it but get this unlike every other release that was buggy this gme to this day has not received a single patch. It still has a high crash rate yet no updates? I'm glad Sony allows us to type a message when sending in error reports because I tell them how much of a disappointment they are for allowing trash to represent their amazing brand. In my total playthrough of that game I probably had 25 random crashes. LittleBigPlanet 3 I had around 10 crashes, The Last of Us 5 crashes, and Battlefield 4 10 crashes. No other game I've played has crashed more than twice and BF4 I haven't had a crash in a long time but the framerate still goes to shit sometimes but Hardline is more steady.
I think I know why.
I was reading this today.. "mobile gaming device"
http://wccftech.com/nvidia-...
"4K playback and AAA gaming with a competitive price tag"
"By plugging into the GRID, you will eventually be able to stream around 50+ AAA titles with roughly 3 times the power of the Xbox One"
They are talking about selling this thing for $299
GAME OVER
