How many times have you heard someone say "I only play with friends?" How many times have you heard a pre-pubescent voice call you a name-not-fit-for-Bitmob-even-if-Seanbaby-posts-here? This major barrier to online multiplayer is set to change with the introduction of new feature sets, market shifts, and distribution channels that have been the talk of the first half of 2009. I'll take a look at where major players in the industry are trying to steer videogames and how (or if) they will affect the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory."
The Animal Crossing franchise may lean towards casual gaming, but it has laid the foundation for a future title to have a survival mode.
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
How do composers make the iconic music tracks from games that we love? And just what makes them so memorable?
Twitter is blowing up right now
All games coming to PlayStation
Next Xbox will have steam
Next Xbox niche and only for “gamers who want it” (it’s a really powerful pc or a steam deck type portable, or both)

I dream of a day when 12 year old's who's voices haven't cracked yet, and think they are the smartest thing in the world, can be filtered from joining servers in CS lol.
