Amazon Pushes Into Making Video Games, Not Just Streaming Their Play

The internet giant is investing hundreds of millions of dollars in the effort, with its first original game, Crucible, to be released next month.

Pity we're only likely to get the same-old-same-old. If that.

This isn't new. They've had an ambitious MMO in development for many years. They've also been supplying devs with a custom version of the CryEngine.

Came here to say that. Their part of the engine is Lumberyard. The whole Crytek/Star Citizen debacle. Amazon even bought Double Helix around 2014. That is why Iron Galaxy had to continue Killer Instinct development.

Get your fingers out of here.

ooh cool. they have a lot of money. hopefully we'll see something good from them and not just another BR...

Ok so i checked the games they are working on and, well i hope they got something else also because... ehhh
the MMO seems cool but something just seems off. i like the souls like combat idea tho.

So overall i'm not very optimistic. very basic

It’s definitely an upgrade, not sure about massive.

Grilla2h ago

It is massive compared to the switch 1. 6-10X the power, but compared to current standards it’s the bare minimum.

RedDevils1h ago

It's just a minor upgrade nothing special. Could have included the Oled screen but greedy Nintendo have something planned for it already.

Yesyes1h ago

Oled screen means nothing when people have OLED tv's.

You are self aware of how dumb and "sheepy" that tagline of "greedy" sounds like at this point in time, right?
Every little entitled twat on the internet has used it ad nauseum, as if all of a sudden you somehow struck gold or something. it ALMOST sounds as infantile as the other meme vomit brain rot: "Defending the billion dollar company, blah, blah" FFS. tell me its "irony" at least what you are trying to express, so at least i can give you some credit for being "clever" or bold. I refuse to believe you ACTUALLY believe what you are saying, unironically,

Great review! We have almost the same impression of the Switch 2. I don't care if the screen isn't OLED, because when I put it next to my friend's Steam OLED screen, they barely deviated in quality.

Better than the Steam Deck not as good as the other consoles on the market.

As someone who has been gaming nearly as long as gaming has been around (since the early 70's), you'd think I'd be against this. Having grown up with all the major platforms and the whole notion of physical ownership... but I'm not. i embrace this as it is a revolutionary convenience. And one i know for a fact many (especially here) have not even given the fair chance to use. I get it... i was there too. But now i have a new outlook on it. It really is a hell of an option if you just want to play with no commitments. By no means am i saying this should replace traditional gaming, its an option. And one that people should look at optimistically as a way to compliment traditional gaming. There is room for both to thrive.
