Tekken Gamer has talked with Michael Murray about Tekken 7, recent balance changes for the arcade release and more
The makers of a video game that even impressed the French president tell the unusual tale of its development.
If the year ended today then yes it would be my personal GOTY. Absolutely!
In my opinion some of these games might be part of the GOTY nominees.
Blue Prince
Doom- dark ages
ER- Nightreign
Midnight Walk
MK World
MGS Snake eater
Ghost of Yotei
HK- Silksong
Hades 2
I am sure there are others that might surprise us down the road but these are the ones I can think of from top of my head that could challenge Clair Obscur- E33 for GOTY.
Former Assassin's Creed and Far Cry lead Alex Hutchinson explains that Nintendo will get away with their awful Game Key Cards.
people here forget that Sony sells Collector's Editions of games (God of War, Horizon, etc) that give you a steelbook with no disc. Just a code on a piece of paper. But because some 3rd party devs are choosing this route it's all Nintendo's fault.
If the option was a physical cartridge or a game key card then that would be the best possible situation. However it’s looking increasingly like game key cards will totally phase out physical media and that is really disappointing. I have a huge physical Switch libary and was looking forward to doing the same for the Switch 2.
@Neonridr
But it was Nintendo, who introduced this game key thingy. So it's 100% their fault.
@staticall - they gave devs the option I guess, yes. But I haven't seen a single first party Nintendo game opt for this route.
yes.. they could pay full price to put their games on a cartridge, or pay less and provide a digital code and save money.
Which do you think devs would opt for?
It wasn’t about distribution… 🤦♂️
The irony being him criticizing what creates of the loss of making gaming feel “special.” You know, annual releases with a paint-by-number blue print, monetization, and in general just Ubisoft practices for the last decade.
Sorry that one went over your head.
Then maybe you should do a better job of making your point instead of readers assuming what you’re trying to say.
Yet most games these days on Blu-ray's don’t even contain the full game or the game at all. But he wasn’t complaining when he was at Ubisoft tho.
Kind of normal to not want to get fired for public complaints about your company, though.
Buying a physical box, just to open it for a glorified QR code is a shitty practice but I can absolutely see it becoming the norm sadly.
The enjoyment of owning something physically is going away, now its just a paid trial of services you never really "own".
except this is still a physical cartridge that you have to put in your console. You just have to download the entire game. But instead of it just being a code in a box (which is a one time use), you could still sell this or lend it to your friend.
It's not great no, but it's nothing like what we had with some Switch games.
Fair, its better than a one time use code but it I agree with the point in the article. It still takes away from the overall experience (especially from a nostalgia perspective).
@Duke19 - I mean we have digital edition only consoles now from MS and Sony. That's ok?
Seems like this is just a physical vs digital conversation, you can't exactly single out Nintendo here as everyone seems to be doing it.
thisnis definitely gonna bite nintendo in the arse in some way.
kids mostly use the consoles and not all parents know what to do with it.
also, what if u dont or cant use wifi ? lol
Nintendo is suing Genki, a Japanese accessory maker, for showing a replica of the Nintendo Switch 2 before its official announcement.
Won’t be surprised that they will blame Genki for missing the target sales. After all it’s Genki that decided to price the console and games
The money that Nintendo lost on Wii U, they made up for on Switch, but still, the loss is still there. All guns blazing with Switch 2 pricing, suing Genki is a 'we need to make money' exercise. Goes without saying that Switch 2 will sell out at launch, but once it settles down, the masses won't pay it.
Actually the 3DS kept Nintendo afloat during the Wii U era it was a huge hit with a healthy profit margin
Genki abused its position as a partner to drum up hype for their business so they deserve the lawsuit however it's not going to be blamed for missing any targets
Pretty clear cut here they were under a partnership agreement here they violated that
