Gamasutra:
It's been almost three years since Sony launched PlayStation Plus, a paid subscription program that will probably be looked back upon as the most transformative evolution in console business models this generation.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.
I would’ve focused on the creative.
Of course it is. Surely that's obvious?
I doubt many developers are in the habit of signing up to detrimental promotions.
Edit - Rationality seems lost on some people.
I haven't read a single developer complain about their games ending up on PS+. The service is fantastic and a true value add proposition.
Yes it is.
Think about this. BlazBlue is launching Chrono Phantasma later this year, so they give BB Continuum Shift Extend away for free which has both story modes in it. People will play that one, cause it is in fact free, then they might consider getting BB:CP.
It is kind of a free advertising method, inFAMOUS 2, Borderlands, Saints Row 2. Just before the next installment comes out you can get more people on the franchise in theory.
Other times they might have large sales, but after 6 months decide to give it away to increase "word of mouth" spread about the game.
Sure.....its good for both developers and customers. PS plus only put out free games after they been out a while. Once sales slow, then PS plus members get a few bones tossed their way.
Everything else is just greedy crying.
