10 Years Ago This Month: Microsoft learns a lesson about playing old games it would soon forget, and Activision doesn't see digital distribution as being a big thing in the next decade.
Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid publisher Konami has reported record profits this year, driven largely by its video games and amusements.
Interesting that Konami is releasing nothing of note and still enjoying high profits. I guess this is the allure to companies.
It was probably due to the half-hearted release of the Metal Gear Solid Collection v1.
Imagine the extra sales Konami could’ve made if it had put some effort into it.
From Software parent company Kadokawa has released its financials for the year, and while profits are down, Armored Core has performed surprisingly well.
Name another company that has ever released only games worthy of a 90+ score for over a decade? starting with Demon's Souls, nothing but 90+s...even DS2 was a great game.
The full Skewedcast crew back for this episode and Gareth, Justin, Michael, and JoeyZ at Skewed and Reviewed break down the latest entertainment news qith a focus at 40:00 on the Microsoft Studio Closures and how it impacts the game community and what can be done to help offset this negative trend.
BC us awesome! Glad MS decided to give what many gamers wanted.
Man Sony fanboys just hate the fact Ms BC is better then Sony and it free lol
I like how this author talk about how Ms flip flopping on Bc but not mention anything about Sony flip flopping on PSnow was once one of their so call mega bomb at last year E3 and according to Sony now nobody care about Bc anymore.
Instead of letting me buy my old games again, please let me use my old already bought physical copies.
Goes for both MS & Sony.
I really don't enjoy Backwards Compatibility that much, but it's nice to have it anyway.
Even with PSNow, I fully expect PS5 to run PS4 games since the architecture will be the same this time.
On Xbox, it goes without saying with the UWP initiative, everything would run on everything that is Microsoft devices.
With a digital only future looming BC should become standard on consoles in the near future, hopefully.
