Gaming consoles are being used for things other than games.
Soul Covenant feels like a game from the early 2000s, with its repetitive gameplay loop, waggle controls, and nonsensical story.
Indie developer Carlos Alfonso is working on Cold VR, a game where standing still isn't an option. The complete opposite to SUPERHOT VR.
Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.
This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.
tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?
Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.
By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.
It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.
Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.
I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.
I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.
Well the process has been slow but gradual, it was going to happen sooner or later:
Sega CD - Plays Music CDs
Playstation/Saturn - VCDs
PS2/Xbox/Dreamcast - Play DVDs, Run Linux, Internet Access etc
PS3/Xbox360 - Internet browser, blu-ray, streaming media etc
PS4/XboxOne - EVERYTHING
They've just been adding to the stack over each gen and now we get all of the above stuffed into a single box. Can't say im entirely happy about it but it was inevitable, just look at the mobile phone market as an example.
yeh but still don't over look the fact that most people who will buy it will be playing games on it. i would love to know how much money nintendo,sony and ms spent on R&D and other expenses just to put a cable box inside their gaming consoles. how about spending those resources on improving the specs so these consoles won't be as behind pc as they are even at launch
i am buying a ps4 unless something changes big time at E3, because to me sony has delivered the most games and bang for my buck.
That doesn't mean they have to be media PCs. In case y'all didn't knower is PCs already exist and shoehorning a console in to that market doesn't make it better. If people want a media PC chances are good they already have one.
First of all I would like to thank this article for stating the obvious; that's like saying 'Phones: not just for phone calls'. Secondly, why does the author include Sony in his rant given their unofficial motto for this next generation is 'all about the games'? Did he miss their reveal?
What? I can't believe it!
