Can Origin Access take down Steam?

Taken from IM PLAYIN

"Bringing Bill Nye out for a commercial is a pretty great move by anyones standards. Does that mean Origin Access will be a great new way to play PC games? Will they be bold enough to take down the big titan that is Steam?"

Lol I have a better chance of winning the Powerball. Few games to choose from, small portion of the game unlocked and a tiny discount won't even put a dent in Steam.

ThinkBadMonkey3440d ago

They need to up the amount of games they offer somehow. Some of the games on there get so old you can probably pick them up for a £1 on Steam anyway!

Paytaa3440d ago

Yeah Steam still has too much of a hold on the PC market for Origin to even really do anything. It's going to stay that way for a long time. Nobody I know even uses Origin because Steam is just the go to and people trust Valve more than EA.

Eonjay3440d ago (Edited 3440d ago )

Whats origin? No seriously, how does that even work mathematically? Taking down steam I mean. How does one do that?

Dark_Crow3440d ago

One does not simply take down steam.

slappy5083440d ago

Nope I hate origins so much if a multiplatform game requires it, I buy it for console instead if I want to play it. Steam is king baby, get at least a 1000 more games in your library and then we talk

thorstein3440d ago

Bad news. Garden Warfare, et al require an origin account linked to your console account in order to play it.

The other day, Origin was having login problems but the Battlefront servers were fine. People couldn't log in couldn't play.

I had to create origin accts for my kids to play Garden Warfare. Such a waste.

I treat uPlay like that but I will not play Dragon Age and Mass Effect on consoles. I will play with maxed out everything at 1600p.

Ubisoft and uPlay is absolutely horrendous and I will only play their games on consoles or not at all.

EA's Origin is just ok and has limited games. It isn't absolutely horrendous like uPlay is.

slappy5083440d ago

I hate Uplay too, I bought far cry 4 for consoles, I'm not into assassins creed so I've ignored those anyways- I'm trying trying to decide if I want to play The division on console where some of my friends are or super slick aiming with a mouse and higher framerate-
You are right about Dragon age Inquisition though, although a good game I would've preferred a keyboard and mouse and have everything hot keyEd I'm probably going for massistance effect 4 on pc, but I won't buy it off Origins (the main reason I don't download games from there is EA makes more money this way but also I don't want steam and origins running)

DragoonsScaleLegends3440d ago (Edited 3440d ago )

Isn't Origin only for EA games? I don't see EA alone beating every other publisher, no chance in hell.

Truly amazing!

Draws inspiration clearly draws gameplay inspiration from Assassins Creed and action cinematics from Uncharted!

Powered by UE5!

Definitely on my radar!

raWfodog7h ago

Eastern devs are putting in that work this gen. The quality of their games have been top-notch across the board. Looking forward to seeing more of this game in action.

Other devs need to take notes and step their game up, figuratively and literally.

Lightning7716h ago

Looks very good why wasn't this at SGF?

Obscure_Observer14h ago

Probably because this trailer wasn´t ready yet.

I doubt the developers would miss the opportunity to reveal their games to millions of gamers on four major events like Summer Game Fest, Future Games Show, State of Play or Xbox Showcase on purpose.

Napoca868h ago(Edited 8h ago)

This feels like 90% stolen from Uncharted and the guy is also falling or almost falling to often down. Nah this is to much show, something is strange here.

Sonyslave37h ago

It does look like it could be staged or the combat might be like hellblade, but i have hope the devs made naraka battle royal game.

Lightning774h ago

Ryse had staged area like combat. So did Hell Blade. Linear story based games do this. It's very cinematic like gameplay. The game did remind me of Ryse, how Ryse would of looked if they had a sequel of sorts.

pwnmaster30006h ago

This reminds me a bit of uncharted, ghost, Gow and AC.

Count me in.

The director of the original Silent Hill: “I look forward to seeing bold interpretations.”

Keiichiro Toyama—the creator and original director of the 1999 Silent Hill—shared his personal thoughts on the recently announced remake by Konami, reflecting on what the project means to him after more than two decades:
“I felt something similar when the game was adapted into a movie. It deeply moved me to see the names of the characters and locations I had created come to life visually, even though I wasn’t directly involved. That wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of the fans and the dedication of the developers who’ve kept the series alive.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how the remake evolves this time. With the advanced technology we now have, I’m sure I’ll be surprised by how the game is reimagined. Since the original was built for the first PlayStation, there will naturally be challenges—like the camera and controls—but I’m eager to see bold and creative solutions to those elements.”

Haha Not only is bold and creatively not what the industry wants, it’s not what most people want.

They want to get scammed and pay twice for a thing they already own.

Nightcrawler8915h ago

Hope they use his vision in the game

Inverno15h ago

Was the SH2 remake even bold? Or was it more or less just a 1 to 1 over the shoulder remake?

Pedrof14h ago

I wouldn't hold my breath on "bold".
