IGN: Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch 2020, our new show following all the news and rumors on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. This week we’re talking about Xbox Smart Delivery, PS5’s Dual Entitlement, EA Play Live, and the CyberPunk 2077 delay.
Now’s the best time to travel to Night City as Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is the best pickup on the Switch 2 at the moment.
Begone, game-key carts. Full cartridges just work better and here's why.
I didn't bother buying any game key carts for my system despite my preference being physical.
I brought the mkw bundle and that was a digital code but I wasn't going to pay double for the game
I got yakuza 0 digitally as the key card made zero sense to me it costs more and its just a digital game in disguise (I never sell my games anyhow)
...obviously. If a game is 64gb or less, it should release on card. If it exceeds 64gb, the key card comes into play. It does suck that Nintendo wont support smaller cards, SW1 games came on anywhere from 8gb to 32gb cards. The cost of using a 64gb card for a game that would fit comfortably on a 32 or even 16 may not be cost effective for some smaller devs. Hence the use of the key card.
Then again, its taking a page out of Sony's book. They mandated the use of DVD media for all games a few years after the PS2 released. Until then, they supported games on CD. Then when it came to PS3, no game was allowed to use DVD, they all had to be bluray regardless.
Now with PS5, they only use UHD media, no regular bluray for games allowed. Even if the game is smaller than a DVD. So i can see Nintendo trying to standardize their game cards. If devs dont want to pay for the use... the key card is for them.
why even bother buying one of the fake game cards? It's just going to be digital anyway. Save yourself the hassle of having to insert these fake cards and just buy it from the online store.
But I absolutely 100% do not agree with Nintendos take this generation. Forcing the new norm price point, and releasing a majority of their titles digitally with no sense of game preservation. Very disappointing.
Cyberpunk 2077 on the Nintendo Switch 2 is all there and as fun as you remember, but still offers a downgraded version, making concessions to not compromise on the overall scope.
Cyberpunk is one of this gens best RPGs now so it’s a huge game and luckily a lot of ppl probably havnt played it because of the launch.
Xbox is looking at changing the way games are perceived, keep up the good work Xbox. The reason why they have a steady fan base is because they’ve done right by their real fans. Then you have those who jump ship no matter the reason, could be about games or simply don’t like the system and the UI they use. Whatever the case may be, I feel like this generation in gaming is gonna be gold.
I hope I'll never see an anti-consumer company like MS defining gamming industry. Everybody looses.
Oh so Xbox has cloud saves and cross save, how revolutionary.
Sony has had this for years why are people acting as if it is new?
