only to be kidnapped and then pimped out

Or hit by a truck when the game sucks. Or preached to by Mormons on how awesome God(EA in the analogy) is when promoting itself.

Engine is pretty sweet though.

COMMENT-OF-THE-YEAR3233d ago

Yep, the engine is pretty awesome for visuals. Love me some battlefield. This engine makes it all happen.

RegorL3233d ago

multiplayer (64 with destruction), sound (unbeaten), mixed gameplay (on foot, vehicles including flying, on horseback), ...

Not only visuals!

Timesplitter143233d ago

Now release the engine to the public!

Sciurus_vulgaris3233d ago

I doubt that will happen. The Frostbite engine is made for EAs own studios, it is not licensed out like Unreal, Cry and Unity engine.

That's one f*cked up kid.

Think that rumor that they'll still make a new console but at a profit at $1000 will be true though. The series consoles will remain their cheap alternative throughout next gen I would say. Keep in mind that game pass and pretty much going 3rd party is their main focus. They want to bring xbox everywhere.

If they don't maintain some kind of console presence, I think they will lose gamepass subscribers and just become a 3rd party publisher who eventually sells everything off

Xbox games are releasing on all platforms. Who needs this hardware? PS or PC is all you need

Flewid63813h ago

I've never owned an Xbox in my life and I have GamePass.

thorstein12h ago

The only Xbox I owned was the 360. I have gamepass for my PC.

Majority of Gamepass users are currently on console...

Even if they could get it down to $800 for a box that can run with comparable performance to a PS6 (at, say $200 cheaper) the population of people willing to buy such a thing would be so limited.
It would be the worst of both worlds.

I might get one in a couple years but I’m in no hurry. Nothing at launch I want to play.

60 fps Switch games with higher resolution makes it worth it to me.

badz14920h ago

you basically has no choice because it only has old games with ONE new exclusive and a scummy paid demo. old games are all you have and you fanboys are eating it up and let Nintendo get away with this.

PRIMORDUS1d 12h ago

If there are no shortages then why can't we just easily order a Switch 2 online, from Best Buy, Target, Newegg, Amazon etc. No shortages means we can get it by any means, online or in store.

kindi_boy14h ago

move your ass to the nearest Target or Best Buy and you'll find a lot of them.

shinXseijuro1d 14h ago

Maybe there’s shortages in Japan ? But they’re pretty much available lol

shinXseijuro1d 14h ago

But hey saying that creates more hype right !

Good-Smurf23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

There isn't one in US, I saw plenty posting pictures of it many stores in still have plenty in stock.
This is just them referring to stock situation mostly in Japan.
Sounds like he low key also spreading FOMO pressuring people to go out and buy one for no good reason?
It's not exactly flying off the shelves here in Thailand though, there's basically no real hype here at all other than the fanboys lining up for it the first few days.
You can easily order one right now in Thailand from all the official authorized stores, not out of stock at all.
The price of 17800 THB or around 550 USD here for a standard SKU and high game prices probably has a lot to do with it.

badz14920h ago

the standalone Switch 2 is more expensive than the PS5 slim in Malaysia and just $2 cheaper than the Disc PS5 Slim. what a rip-off
