PlayStation.Blog: How to turn the odds in your favor in this PS5 sci-fi survival horror.
In the gameplay reveal trailer for Cronos: The New Dawn, a mysterious voice warned the Traveler to “Stay focused, stay cautious”.
It was previously hinted that Xbox has stopped selling the physical disc of video games. Further proof of the gaming giant abandoning physical media has appeared as Cronos: The New Dawn will not be available on a physical disc for Xbox Series S|X.
Atp I'm not surprised I think nintendo will be the only ones due to consumers going to be physical media folks imo respect
Wtf you're talking about. That cartridge inside the switch 2 doesn't even have the game offline.
Wtf are YOU talking about? Some games DO in fact still have the game on the cartridge. Game Key hate is fully justified. You are acting like 100% of Switch 2 physical cartridges are Game Keys... Which is not true at all. A lot of them are, sure. But let's not spread false information.
So much for that games preservation team they set up
How can you go on about it games preservation but abandoned physical media
Funny... I have the full library of games from the 2nd gen on up to the 5th fully preserved in digital form as well as on a physical hard drive.
Am I doing it right?
I've got a photo preserved on a web storage service... until it's not because that service goes away. Only, in your case, you can't just move the photo wherever you want. Not the best preservation plan when it relies on Xbox always being around.
Look, I get digital is fine enough for people and, for the most part, will work fine for a good long while. But preservation isn't about 'being there as long as the company that controls it exists' but making it available 50+ years from now or 100+ years from now without having to rebuy it over and over and over and over and over on new services.
Because PR is the point. It IS the point. MS has many differnt accomplishments it can hang on its neck but above all is its commitment to Public Relations. Its legendary and its has nothing to do with what the company is actually doing. What Microsoft will do is survey gaming content creator and find out what they are talking about and then focus an absurdly intense PR beam at that specific issue.
Isn’t digital technically the best way to preserve games?
Yes, I know licensing can be an issue. But physical media isn’t much better. Once physical copies are wiped out or so rare they cost $1,000, how exactly am I supposed to access them? Right, digitally. Whether that’s through a storefront or, let’s be honest, through less official means.
And how much of today’s physical media is even “complete”? A lot of PS4 games only had part of the game on disc, and you had to download the rest anyway. So what’s really being preserved? A box and a partial install?
Some of the strongest efforts in game preservation come from digital platforms like GOG, which is entirely digital. PC gamers have been all-digital for ages. I can still download games on Steam that go all the way back to the PS2 era. Mark Ecko’s Getting Up, for example, is just sitting there, ready to play.
It feels like the only people who are truly upset about the shift to digital are old-ass console gamers. But the average gamer today cares about Atari games about as much as I care about preserving Betamax tapes.
I’m all for the digital era. It’s convenient, easy, and so far, I haven’t lost access to anything 🤷♂️.
To paraphrase phil They'll ask co pilot to remake their old ip i wish that was sarcasm
5 years and physical media exists only as special collector items. cds, dvds, blurays will be completely gone from the shelves. Sadly.
