Analyst Jesse Divnich believes the PS3 has gained momentum on 360 and Microsoft needs to cut prices to counter the PS3 surge.
"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.
It's been officially over 2,500 days since The Elder Scrolls 6 was revealed, and fans are still waiting for more than a logo and a mountain range.
It will come out in another 1000-2000 days or so. I’d rather they remake Morrowind. After they added quest arrows, sprint button, making stats lesser and the big nerfs to spells Elder Scrolls has been too simplified. They could change that with ES6 but I don’t have much faith in modern Bethesda. I would love to be wrong
Xbox Game Studios' Halo: Combat Evolved Remake is reportedly planned to release in late 2026 to celebrate 25 years of Xbox.
No official update on anything?
They replaced studio leadership
They changed the studio name
They announced the change to UE5
... all while supporting Infinite
The support to Infinite isn't what it originally should have been but they've still been providing tons of official updates over the years, and as recently as two months ago added a brand new weapon.
I think remaking Halo Combat Evolved, and going to 2 and 3 again, will help give the studio an idea of how to make a Halo game feel like Halo again
Infinite did feel like Halo, that's not what the complaints were...
The complaints were almost literally everything else. Monetization, netcode and desync, the campaign structure, story, and single biome, the weaker-than-expected post-launch content.
Dev times in modern days 4 years of silence isn't unheard of when things are running smoothly.
And around 6 months ago 343 did show a tech demo of ue5 using halo assets so it's not radio silence.
Given all the shake ups i am more surprised we're getting anything next year at all.
They coulda started with Halo 3 remake ... I know Halo CE remaster was not proper with the art style but still, remaking after a remaster seems dull, when Halo 3 and Reach have started to show some age.
Yeah I hate they used Halo reach artstyle. Hope this remake feel authentic yet fresh
Probably the simplest to work around with. They are reportedly doing it in UE5, so its just as much an Anniversary thing, as its probably the studio getting familiar and setting up their tools and processes in the engine with an actual game, to facilitate the development of the next Halo
I'm guessing combat evolved has a smaller scope in general the later half of the game features a ton of backtracking and reused assets making it a easier game to remake on a deadline
Its also a better choice if this is the first game to be multiplatform mind you I think it's pretty much a given that anyone with a passing curiosity has played this by now in some way be it pc or brought a used console for a few bucks
I would love to see Lost Odyssey come over to PS5. I would definitely buy that again. That was the first game that I played on my 360. Loved the story and battle system. One of the best JRPGs of all time in my opinion.
The Playstation 3 gaining ground on the Xbox 360 can only be a good thing. It's the sign of a healthy market and shows Microsoft that they need to work harder. When Xbox 360 had a greater gap between them and Playstation 3, the situation bore fruit for Playstation 3 users by making Sony work harder to maintain and gain ground. These situation usually spawn new exclusives and price drops. All this equals a win, win situation for gamers.
"Microsoft needs to cut prices" didn't that just happen.
lame
yes offcourse. However. MS really needs to fix their hardware issue more than anything else. Not half measures or band aid solution. I am being 100% honest here. I would have bought a x360 end of last year if it weren't for the hardware issue. The price drop will help but solving of this problem would actually get more people to buy the x360 in my opinion.
hard to cut prices on 360,s when you have so many returns,sent back the nephews 3 weeks ago, told it may be a different unit returned thats worrying.its going to cost more than 1 billion dollars to keep these things working, last quarter alone in N.A cost MS 291 million dollars put asia and europe in the calculations that 1 billion will be long gone before the years out.
ms is a big company but 1 billion to 2 billion a year in repairs out of any possible profit year in year out is plain stupid
they may have extended there warranty but the more they sell the higher there cost of repairs and when you see there latest so called new designed 360 r.r.o.d at gdc08 on the first day covered by the bbc well it sure doesn,t look good
they had to drop the price in the eu as the ps3 out sold the 360 3 to 1 in jan and it was 4 to 1 and cimbing in feb, retailers have started to refuse stock due to no demand
no its worrying times for the 360, japan and asia don,t want to know its the wi and ps3,the eu have gone for the wi and ps3 and america are going the same way,shortages are only for wi and 80gb ps3
nephew will be selling his on return for a ps3
the more they reduce the price the less profit they'll make on hardware so they would have to rely on software even increasing royalties. Too bad there's a flaw to that plan. PS3 nor wii are standing still.
