Gamasutra had a chace at a recent HP event to sit down and talk to Microsoft's Rich Wickham and Trion World's Lars Buttler who have been discussing the future of digital distribution. Buttler has been suggesting that "the real power" of the delivery mechanism is almost here.
Gamasutra caught up with Wickham, Director for Games For Windows at Microsoft, to ask him about digital distribution following the public roundtable, and this article is what he had to say.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.
I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.
Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.
No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
when it hits everything will change for the media business.
ya but also opens us up to user rights problems and hackers taking account info.
Am I the only one who wants to buy the game on disc...wat happens if ya hdd crashes they gonnna give it to ya for free
I sure hope their wrong! I like my media, physical.
We are leaning towards an era were we can do everything at home. I remember the good ol days when I enjoyed going to the video store, not only to get a flick but also to check out the girls rear ends, and maybe to man up a bit and try to shoot a cheesy pick up line, while standing in the chick flick section pretending to be interested. At the counter I like to talk with my buds there about the game I'm renting and how they liked it. So I say NO! I will not sit at home and rot away I will go out and have some contact with other human beings!
