Well I'm glad Amazon is making something unique, there is a real shortage of third person multiplayer games.

You'd think they would try and think outside the box for their first game within the games industry...something to blow us away so we'll take them serious

Well they did say melee afterwards. We don't have a lot of Melee Third Person Multiplayer games.

I think they choose a fun genre that is attractive to many, and is mostly only available I'm MMO's. Too bad it is most likely to be PC only as their android console, which is not powerful enough to draw away from the existing offering, can't handle real games.

It's weird hearing that Amazon makes games now

no_more_heroes3572d ago

Extremely weird.

I have no idea what to make of this.

Harrylikesgames3571d ago

Interesting to see PC only, I would have expected Amazon to try and grab the console market.

addman003571d ago

Who knew Amazon would get into game dev?

Eidolon3571d ago

Well they've gotten into a lot of stuff, I'm not surprised, and I'm not worried.

StormLegend3571d ago

Amazon and Google both trillion dollar companies failed to enter the gaming market. It’s not as easily as many think.

TheEnigma313887d ago

These companies think because they have money that they can just Waltz right into gaming? Sorry, it doesn't work that way.

TheColbertinator886d ago

Not sure why anyone is concerned with Google, Amazon and Apple in the main video game market. They clearly lack focus and inspiration

Well Its no wonder when you see the stuff they do with games. Google wanted to introduce a cheap console that required internet connection to play streamed games that weren't even local to the harddrive. Apple still wants simplified, data mining, touch screen mobile games spread far and wide. Everyone was really interested in Blue Protocol right up until Amazon was announced to be involved and the trailer was released with all the same tired and crappy ESG changes they made to the game. I hear they had a similar influence on Lost Ark but I don't know the details.

They all try to push some varying idea that is either anti consumer or just undesirable in one form or another.
