Multiple Console SKUs - Are We Getting Screwed?

Adam from Awesome Games writes: 'At first, the idea of choosing a particular model which suited your needs seemed like a welcomed and sensible practice. Unfortunately, as this current console cycle has progressed, this relatively new practice has quickly transformed into a shameful, money making scheme which harms the consumer and punishes the early adopters (and sometimes, even the late adopters).'

With the X360, you sure are/was....but them again, you get what you pay for.

As for Sony...
People asking for more, SHOULD pay more. Sony made us pay for a PSOne+PS2+PS3+BD player/media hud in the beggining, and they made it CHEAP (600USD cheap...for all that, it sure was.)

BUt Sony had to make the PS3 cheaper, more affordable, and the culling happend....the same people complaining about the price are the ones complaining about the features being gone...why didnt you forked the 499 or 599 USD WHEN THEY WERE FREAKING THERE?

So stop whining about that....

Yeah, don't exactly what you're getting, with the 360 Arcade SKU and you are going to need to get a HDD. You'll also likely be going back to the store after just going. Certainly a day or two later.

Be an idiot and buy a PS3, you'll likely figure out the browser, find Crackle and Youtube, but by the time you realize that its BR player does moves, you'll likely have bought another player.

Boy, are you dumb... :p

No gamer should be supportive of the HD-less 360 version because it has restricted games' potential to some extent as devs often design to the lowest common denominator and are only now providing advantages to HD capable machines.

The people that care about sales more than games will defend the Arcade and probably say it hasn't affected game quality.

Both Sony and MS play the multiple SKU card and then say its all about giving consumers a choice. To me there is nothing wrong with having choice as long as you dont get royally screwed on the cost of upgrading.

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga1d 4h ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

mkis00720h ago

I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.

Profchaos1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

thorstein1d 2h ago

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.
