New hardware always brings big changes to the online gaming experience. Usually these are positive and expansive, and that doesn’t look to be any different this incoming generation. Microsoft achieved a lot with Xbox Live in the early years and really set the target. One could argue both Steam and the PSN compete well or surpass XBL for value or feature reasons now, but that’s all about to become moot as the landscape reforms.
Pondering the implications of some of the changes to the big three's online strategies moving forward.
"The Spain-based indie games publisher Firenut Games and Granada-based (Spain) indie games developer Trigger the Monster, today announced with great joy and thrill that their dark fantasy adventure/management game “Search of Light” (AKA SOL), is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.

Feral Cat Den return with Nirvana Noir, a sequel to Genesis Noir centering around two different universes, and it truly feels like a bigger bang.
What's the deal with SEN vs XBOX LIVE.
Which is better, are they both even? I keep hearing different takes on the story.
They both look great.
Loving the new look of the ps4's interface. Can't wait to see more.
Also both Sen and xbox live have there positives and negatives. I prefer the xbox live when it comes to communicating with friends but besides that Sen hands down!
I think ive come to a point in my hobby that I don't think I am the audience these new consoles are made for. I don't like FPS, I don't like MMO's, I stopped watching TV some 17 years ago (because of my gaming) and I don't care for "always on" anything.
I'm sad to say this, but if I don't see games that are speaking to me, I wont be joining this next-gen. I'm not compelled even in the least.
IF I had to choose between what is offered, I would stay with my WiiU and perhaps the PS4. But my enthusiasm is not nearly what it was a gen or two going back.
In fact, I'm not sure who these new machines are geared towards.
i cant wait people. the day has come. im am not a mSoft fan but i want to see if they will clean up their act or Ruin their pants.
they are up 1st at 12 30pm Eastern time.
Sony goes much later and i know they are bout to gently move behind microsoft and then THRUST with the display of games they have to show.
I'm not sure about xbl but the psn store runs like doodoo, they really need to fix it. PS+ is a hella great deal however.
