1.) Way to only look at one part of my statement and neglect the other half. Sony has made acquisitions AND built up content over the years. Compare the reception to Halo: Infinite and God of War: Ragnorok to see the level of talent each company has cultivated over the decades. Sony is able to make multiple acquisitions and still produce GOTY titles. Microsoft makes so many acquisitions and we’re going through ANOTHER first party drought from them while they’re st...
“these first-party titles have historically sold significantly less than their third-party counterparts.”
Recently many of Sony’s big hitters have sold 10+ million
Can’t blame the guy after his previous experience working under a major company
Seems like it’ll take an Infinite amount of time for this Halo title to live up to its promises
Imagine going an entire generation without producing a significant amount of GOTY contender titles
Is it industry standard to go on a millions and billions acquisition spree rather than just building the content yourself?
All those studios it purchased and Microsoft still needs outside help on titles like Fable and Perfect Dark?
Tekken had guest characters before SSB. SSB isn't the only fighting game series to feature guest characters.
Guest characters are supposed to feel out of place. Thats why it's so interesting to see them transplanted into other games
I'd love to see what Jill Valentine has been up to canonically since RE5
"The utility provided by most subscription services these days, far surpasses individually buying games, especially in wake of the spike in game prices worldwide."
I still see value in buying individual games. Always will
Wii U was such a great to play every 3D Zelda game and various 2D ones as well
It'd be nice if Switch caught up to that wealth of legacy content
Why would you want a sequel from modern day Konami?
Did you see Metal Gear Survive?
I’ll give a shit about these sales when Rockstar starts giving a shit about their other franchises
The most we can hope for is a Rayman cameo in the Mario + Rabbids sequel
The nunchuck was one of the most successful accessories in gaming. It made a ton of Wii games better
Sony and Microsoft should drop the prices of PS4 & XO to $200
It costs $20 per year
TLOU2, a game released a few months ago will be $40 while TLoZ: BotW, a 3 year old game, will be $45
My god Nintendo
That’s truly a next gen experience
That’s not gonna stop people from treating Joe’s Diner like it was forbidden treasure
Also, Afro Samurai fans unite
“For example, who thought letting a company that normally does racing (Playground games) make the next Fable, a rpg was a good idea?”
Comparatively you could also ask the same question for so many other properties and see how it can fall apart.
Who thought letting company that normally did shooters(Guerrilla Games) to make a new RPG series like Horizon was a good idea?
Who thought that letting a dev team that normally did life sim games...
