Lucas did unspeakable things

Give 'em an inch and they will take a mile.

Players need to torch their games if they attempt this, even worse than PC players did for the account login for Helldivers 2. A lot worse.

More like how the sales of Battlefront 2 and Shadow Of War were severely hurt over their loot boxes. Make people not want to touch these games through bad word of mouth.

Hopefully they won't have any trouble delivering 60fps on consoles then.

Fair play to him. He is living up to what he said about trying to publish creative, well made games. This has a 91 on Metacritic.

Yeah but the games coming out have been in development for many years so they're not affected by this issue.

This is more about the future.

I would say that indies will continue to put out interesting games at least. They need to avoid buyouts though or they're in danger of ending up like Roll7.

Part of the issue is that CEOs created projections based on the Covid years. Now that the line/Growth™ isn't going up, they're ...

Yeah, the guy making $10m a year is hurting as much as those who have lost their jobs and are worrying about their future and supporting their family. /s

It takes a real lack of shame to even try put the Good Guy Phil™ spin on this. It's not going to work this time.

Thankfully Toys for Bob managed to safely separate from Xbox and are independent now.

The article says it was too ambitious for them to remake 1-4 in a single package for the deadline they had, not that remakes of 3+4 are too ambitious to be made in general. So they cut back to 1+2.

They were going to remake 3+4 later but unfortunately they got diverted to the Call Of Duty mines.

If Microsoft want to prove that they have had any sort of positive influence on Activision whatsoever, I'll be expecting Pro Skater 3+4.

Love this game. Which like to see some DLC like Road to Gehenna in the first game.

I loved Rollerdrome and was looking forward to a Rollerdrome 2. 😐

Don't want to be melodramatic but as far you can be upset over video-game news ... bit heartbroken.

I feel like there's a trend of well made games like this going largely ignored by the gaming audience. It's quite frustrating. I hope the devs form a new studio but I suppose they'd have to start again from scratch.

They have a different publisher for Max Payne than they did for Alan Wake 2 (Rockstar instead of Epic) so there probably will be a physical release for Max Payne 1&2 at least.

If players are willing to play Doom at 30fps on the Switch, I suppose it wouldn't be a problem for them to play Hi-Fi Rush at 30fps.

I suspect it will also get a Switch 2 version/patch.

Fantastic game though. Stands up there with Returnal as being one of the more unique, high quality games this gen with a still somewhat sizable budget.

Let's just leave Call Of Duty behind.

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

"Babylon´s Fall, Forspoken, Foamstars, FF: XVI and lastly FF: Rebirth and Rise of Ronin, all of those games underperformed in some level despite the technical quality and critical acclaim."

Babylon's Fall literally has a 41 on Metacritic. lol. What are you talking about?
Forspoken: 59/64
Foamstars: 57

FF16 and FF7R still sold a lot.

SquareEnix once claimed that Tomb Raider (2013) was a financial fail...

A game not played by many can still be beloved by those who played it, yeah.

Only making a profit of $567 after 10 years shows that it was not as beloved as it should have been though. That's really bad.

As much as people complain about AAA games not being unique or having fun ideas or bringing in new IP, a lot of gamers don't show up for them. Even less people seem to have played Hi-Fi Rush.

Hellblade 2 seems like it will be much heavier on the GPU side than the CPU side.

In the short term, I suppose we won't see any change.

I think they need to invest heavily in 2nd party games - we're seeing that a bit this year.

They can take more risks on those games (more unique) because they're not $200m+ and they can more quickly get out a variety of exclusives.

Helldivers shows how well that can pay off and probably Stellar Blade will as well. Returnal did too (Sony didn't own them).

A native PS5 app is one that isn't running backwards compatibility mode. So it's *running* natively. That's all it means.

It's like saying that there is no native version of Minecraft on PS4 because a PS3 version exists.

I get your dislike for the examples you provided but when creating a character, I do like to have a proper understanding of the classes if there's no class switching mid-game.

Reading this article, I wanted to check if you can change vocations on the same save. It's good to know you can. So if you pick one you don't end up liking, you're not going to have to restart the whole game. Only have a certain amount of time to play games these days.

It is good to know that it's mostly identical and a solid port though.
