Should We Keep Paying for Annual Sports Releases?

Until recently, the latest iteration of PES or FIFA would have formed an integral part of my yearly gaming schedule.

People have been doing so for decades now. Unlikely that this will ever change.

It costs more than $5 to produce these annual installments though, so that reasonably wouldn’t happen

RosweeSon2508d ago

They sell more than 1 copy tho.

PhoenixUp2508d ago

What’s that supposed to mean? You know that’s a bad business decision

nowitzki20042508d ago (Edited 2508d ago )

This. Maybe make the new version $30-$40 for people who own previous installment or played a certain amount of time.

Nintendo using "AI" company to take down "AI" created images is a bad sign.

I hope there's a huge flood of Mario Ai pics now.

“There is a lot of talk about A.I., for example. When that happens, everyone starts to go in the same direction, but that is where Nintendo would rather go in a different direction."

Good on Nintendo for not chasing the next big thing.

Well nintendo has always been about innovation so I'm not surprised.

KyRo17h ago

Always? I feel the last time off the top of my head that they were innovative was the 3DS/Wii era. They are very successful at what they do but I wouldn't say they are as innovative as they used to be.

Venoxn4g17h ago

Well, in my opinion they have popularised hybrid console which is the Switch

KyRo16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

Your opinion is correct. There's no denying Nintendo's influence on the handheld market that's paved the way for the ROG, Steam Deck, MSI Claw etc but apart from the dock to get a small jump in power, it wasn't really revolutionary, even back when it launched. It was a more refined concept of the Wii U which again wasn't new or groundbreaking back then either.

Aussiesummer8h ago

What the switch wasn't innovative? Cmon.

SeTTriP4h ago

He was saying that's what they strive for and that is a fact.do they always hit the mark?. no but it's in they're design philosophy all the same.

LOL simply because they don't want to invest in it and stick to their outdated approach. See the next pokemon game on Switch 2 will look like something that should come out during the PS3 gen

So a custom art style vs GTA trilogy style mistakes through their games

I'll take the art style thanks

Translation: We'll wait until it's cheaper.

" very high quality "
That's only true for one of the two though, and we all know which one that'll be.

DarXyde22h ago

I promise, only one of them will.

And it's the one that is the better franchise and respects the historical context of the region.

Hotpot22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

Dude’s getting the sweat because star wars outlaws underperformed, and that’s with far smaller controversy compared to AC shadows.

Extermin8or3_19h ago

The AC shadows controversy is fucking ridiculous though.

CS752m ago

As a black man I find the concept of a huge black Samurai in feudal Japan so bad that is funny.

Such a dumb decision.

thorstein17m ago

The people arguing about "historical accuracy" were very quiet when AC Valhalla allowed players to play Eivor Varinsdottir (a real shieldmaiden) as a man.

Abnor_Mal22h ago

Well of course, but AC: Shadows will be on more platforms so I would expect it to sell more than Ghost.

raWfodog21h ago

I won’t be buying either until 2026 though lol
