Cross-platform Tactical Shooter Alvo Confirmed for 2018 Release

It'll support gameplay across PlayStation VR, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.

What 😱but Sony don’t allow cross platform gaming 😱

Cupid_Viper_32384d ago

Haha, yea that's what they'll have you believe... So much FUD for no real reasons.

On topic, I just got Farpoint with the Aim Controller last night and I'm about to do another round. It's quite amazing how natural it feels to play the game and use the gun. Based on the trailer this new game here seems to be a step up from Farpoint ( that's the hope, at least), needless to say that I'm VERY excited to see more of this game.

I'm imagining that a year around this time next year, a PSVR will be much more affordable (I'm thinking $250 or less) and maybe Sony will do bundles where you can get a base PS4 with a PSVR included for $400 or so. I think such a bundle, along with the plethora of games they have in the pipeline, will go a long way in speeding up the adoption of VR on the PlayStation platform.

😱 I got it yesterday too because they finally got more bundles made. I’m loving it so far

I'm like almost 2 hours in and I can already tell that it is going to be really hard to go back to traditional shooters on a 2D screen and using traditional controllers. The shooting with the aim controller is so Damn rewarding. Everything about the experience is so intuitive..

Sony was the first console to have xplay, all the way back to PS3 games. The thing that people are misunderstanding is Sony isn't letting us put the games on Microsoft consoles because Microsoft will FORCE sony gamers to make an XBOX LIVE ACCOUNT... that's ignorant why will you send all of your customers to the competitions services so they can market to them and steal them away... We also will have to play on Xbox servers, services in order to play, not a joint server.... it's all BS that's why Sony is like this, and I know this because I still have a plug at CCP games and Tripwire here.

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN10h ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

Barlos7h ago

Yeah, they're also jobless.

GamerRN33m ago

They can form a company if they want, they are just as jobless as if "Microsoft had left them as 3rd party".

"MIcrosoft leaves Bethesda do what they know how to do best" ... close! Oh the irony ....

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

blacktiger10h ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Profchaos12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

Tacoboto11h ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos11h ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Yi-Long8h ago

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

XiNatsuDragnel10h ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator10h ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

H91d 6h ago

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg13h ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos12h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola8h ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
