Frontburnr: The Xbox Reveal has come and gone, and with it, a lot of people are considerably less than excited about the Xbox One. On top of showing hardly any games, Microsoft didn’t bother to address many of the rumors or concerns we’ve been hearing about regarding the upcoming console, leaving quite a sour taste in the mouths of the core audience. But, hey, everything’s great if you’re a big sports fan or really have some creepy desire to watch TV through your video game playing box!
We’re all divided on how we feel regarding the announcement, so we’ve decided to lay our thoughts on the table for you.
Who do you agree with?
A new Season 3 trailer has accidentally been leaked and removed, but The First Descendant fans have managed to share it with the community.
Hey Survivors! Tymon here, your favorite Dying Light Franchise Director.
It's been an absolutely wild month here at Techland! We're in the thick of what I'm calling the "Summer of Dying Light," delivering updates and big news across all three Dying Light games. Just a few weeks ago, we dropped the first gameplay for Dying Light: The Beast, revealed its release date, and kicked off pre-orders (if you haven't seen it, check out my last dev blog). I'm incredibly proud of what we're building with The Beast - it’s the culmination of more than 10 years of experience in open-world survival horror!
But here's the thing: we never forget where we came from. That's why, this week, we're not just looking forward - we're rolling out significant updates for both the original Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. We promised to support our games for a long time, and we're committed to continuing that support, right through and beyond the launch of Dying Light: The Beast.
Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu discusses the dropping player count of Final Fantasy XIV and the numerous projects of YoshiP.
Also who wants to keep paying a monthly fee every month, there are other options like Guild Wars 2 😁with no monthly fee and while not that many people overall compared to FF XIV, it did increase to about 21 mil now.
I prefer to pay since i do not like guild wars and it keep kids away, but FF14 decreased on quality since they started to make it "more accessible", tried throne and liberty and while it was okay it has so many issues, same for dune awakening... Its time to start making a new FF MMO
Looks like Square Enix is self-aware but still stuck in place, they see the player drop and apologize for the bugs, but nothing really changes. Shame, FFXIV used to be the gold standard
My entire free company has stopped playing. The writing has consistently gotten worse and the content is sparse and lacking; unless you are a hardcore player there's very little for you to do. They are over-catering to the people who will grind three+ times a week on a single fight for multiple months when the playerbase by large doesn't want that sort of content. Square needs to dedicate more resources to the game instead of wasting them on mobile and other live service slop.
The biggest factor for me is the way they butchered job design over the years , the casualization and over simplification really hurt a good chunk of enjoyment I used to have . Jobs lost any form of complexity and just became " press glowing button" DDR style for fighting where the gameplay loop is a about the 2 minute burst window . They removed most DoTS, timer mechanics , cast times, pets, RNG ect and all around homogenized everything . When you try and can cater to everyone ... you cater to no one .
Annihilate at E3.
Which I doubt that they can do considering that they'll be competing directly with Sony at the event. They'll have to somehow completely overshadow Sony, who is riding high on a tidal wave of positive hype.
They'll do what they always do.Gloss over the finer details, pat you on the back with one hand and pinch your wallet with the other.
1) announce that kinect is optional, and you can disconnect it.
2) triple A NEW ip's. a couple of them and not generic.
I doubt they'll do any of those. but who knows maybe they listen to ther fans...hahaha.
Games. Exclusive, 1st party, stunning games. No Kinect trash, just core "wow" games. But I honestly think that's gonna come from Sony.
All they have to do is deliver on games and Ill be good.
