Sakinah writes: With the growing rumors implying that Sony’s and Microsoft’s next consoles may being revealed within the next year or so, I’m beginning to wonder just what it will cost to purchase software on these new systems.
The price for video games has increased with the introduction of every new home console over the years. Back in the day games for the PS1 cost $40, the price for PS2 titles increased to $50 and today a brand new PS3 game will set you back $60. See the trend?
Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.
The catastrophic launch of MindsEye dominates the Direct this week - but how does the game actually look and run on PS5…
Keiichiro Toyama—the creator and original director of the 1999 Silent Hill—shared his personal thoughts on the recently announced remake by Konami, reflecting on what the project means to him after more than two decades:
“I felt something similar when the game was adapted into a movie. It deeply moved me to see the names of the characters and locations I had created come to life visually, even though I wasn’t directly involved. That wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of the fans and the dedication of the developers who’ve kept the series alive.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how the remake evolves this time. With the advanced technology we now have, I’m sure I’ll be surprised by how the game is reimagined. Since the original was built for the first PlayStation, there will naturally be challenges—like the camera and controls—but I’m eager to see bold and creative solutions to those elements.”
Haha Not only is bold and creatively not what the industry wants, it’s not what most people want.
They want to get scammed and pay twice for a thing they already own.
I’m sure many would want bold and creative done well, but that’s easier said than done. I like variety so give me a little bit of everything, done well of course.
Was the SH2 remake even bold? Or was it more or less just a 1 to 1 over the shoulder remake?
it was not. it greatly expanded the areas and puzzles to the point where it felt like an entirely new game. the enemies and boss fights were given a MASSIVE upgrade. the abstract daddy fight in particular was incredible. and the team added two new endings.
I dont spend much on software. I mostly buy games day one between 30-50usd tops. Few months later most AAA games are selling for 20-40usd anyways. I think gaming is relatively cheap these days. Specially when you consider the pricing back in 90's, with inflation considered we are getting games at a bargain today.
I bought batman AC for 26usd.
BF3 was purchased for 37usd
Already have Assassinscreed preordered for 35usd.
Need for speed the run is currently available for 39usd think i am gonna wait for a further price drop though.
I dont see what the problem with the pricing is.
this new pricing means that studios will be scared to take risk and bring us fresh/creative ideas.
The same price as now...... although you can be sure they will try to crank it up to £50.... probably by starting it at £60 so that when it drops to £50 people think they are getting a better deal! lol
£40 is a reasonable price though, it's a bit too much... but we are used to it so if it stays the same I don't think there will be any complaints!
400 bucks on a console, 50-60 bucks on a game. Thats it
