"The Disney and Marvel Games Showcase presented a good variety of titles"

If you enjoy badly made mobile games sure.

The reception to this "Showcase" has been the most universally hated conference I've ever seen. Doesn't help that it was advertised as an hour and a half show but ended before the 25 minute mark (and all the games people wanted to see were shown in 2-second clips in the sizzle reel at the end).

Even Nintendo's infamously failed 2008 E3 conference or Sony's 2006 E3 blunder wasn't this blasted.

Definitely weird only being 25 mins, I was like wtf

Sgt_Slaughter982d ago

I audibly said "That's IT?" because I expected an hour or so.

Definitely should have had more on Spider-Man 2, Wolverine, Kingdom Hearts IV, etc., to fill the time better

the showcase was pretty boring. so i dont see a lesson they need to learn from disney ha

Housemarque Reveals It Has No Plans For Live Service Or Free-To-Play Title

Ilari Kuittinen and Gregory Louden of Returnal developer Housemarque have revealed during an interview with Eurogamer at the studio’s 30th anniversary event last week that it has no plans to develop live-service or free-to-play games, “as long as people are buying premium games.”

Why would they change? That's not where their expertise is.

Redgrave3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Didn't stop Sony after acquiring Bluepoint, taking them from renowned remaster and remake quality and sticking them on a GoW live service title that never even went anywhere.

I can't speak to what gives Housemarque the ability to be different, but let's be thankful that they are able to do so in wake of current Sony.

Well whats different about Housemarque which Sony also owns that they can tell Sony what they will and wont do but the others couldn't?

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!
