The question is why didnt microsoft extend the same offer to Sony and Nintendo as it did to Steam? I thought Phil said they planned to release on PS "as long as there's a playstation to ship to"
Play on easy difficulty. Sure, it might be a little TOO easy, but its also much more enjoyable
Before acquiring Bethesda they had also said it was about bringing their games to more people, citing the "3 billion" gamers worldwide. Seems to me theyve just begun to take games away from existing ps gamers. The same will happen with Activision games. Maybe not call of duty, but i would certainly wager many of the smaller, previously multiplat games, will be exclusive. As a gamer, i really just have a hard time figuring out how this is going to benefit customers beyond it being fr...
No, this is the spinoff, Phil Spencer Believes. Lol
Their expectations for the first psvr were fairly low and realistic. I would assume them to be along the same lines for psvr2
Xbox was first on the indie scene with XBL Acrcade indeed, but saying Sony has never had a big indie presence???
They also arent huge in mobile, but have tried their hand at it multiple times.
A couple points here seem very unresearched.
@LOGICWINS Nintendo has great success half the time and fails the other half. Wii U and Gamecube ring any bells? Much of the switch's success can be attributed to the fact that it also is the only handhelp console out there (until steam deck). Nintendo also keeps their games at full price essentially in perpetuity. If the same thing happens to Sony where they lose all 3rd party support and charge full price for their games even 5 years after release, i fail to see how that benefits the ga...
Although Black Ops 2 is one of the more loved entries in the series, there seemed to be an overall lack of recoil when I played back in the day, which made the guns feel toy-like. The overall art style didnt really sit well with me at the time either. A bit too cartoony. I think zombies could have been cool, but on the PS3, playing splitscreen made the frame rate drop to unplayable levels.

Sports games, unisoft games, GTA. Most major releases are going to sell close to that. Dont forget all the microtransactions that go along with those and fortnite either. Its also only Sony's biggest franchises that reach that 10 million mark. Smaller exclusives are still only selling a couple million
Yes, with the PS4 install base growing to over 100 million, we frequently saw 10+ million sales for exclusives. That still pales in comparison to COD's 30+ million every year, with the biggest portion of the player base playing on PS. MW2 sold over 10 million in 3 days, not over multiple years. And holidays havent hit yet.
Inside is great. If youve played limbo it's very similar
Has vice city been fixed? If not it feels like a weird addition. Lots for Dragon Quests fans.
I would expect the announcement today or tomorrow around noon. Ps essential games are revealed the wednesday before the first Tuesday of the month. Probably something similar here (3rd Tuesday?). I think the reason they were announced early the last month or 2 is because they were leaked ahead of time.
@InUrFoxHole And that's exactly why Sony is so worried that theyre going to lose COD. No one can compete with it. Ask a random mom what call of duty is, they'll know. Ask about battefield, youll get blank stares. It's a household/brand name so deeply ingrained in the industry that even the worst selling games in the series sell more than any competitors best.
It is honestly baffling how poorly they have done with the Battlefield franchise. They have a HUGE opportunity in the future if Activision games go exclusive. Not only would COD be exclusive, but Overwatch as well. Estimates have Overwatch at over 50 million copies. That's not small potatoes either. EA has Battefield, Medal of Honor, and Titanfall all at their disposal, yet they have killed basically every franchise. Titanfall or Medal of Honor already have a history of being more arcade ...
COD has never really had cutting edge graphics imo, but since the MW reboot i feel they have looked pretty good.
If you like the old style games AC black flag and syndicate are great. For more witcher type of gameplay, origins is great and odyssey is decent too. Valhalla i havent played yet. For their other franchises there really hasnt been much of note since far cry 3.
I have to admit, i havent played in a while. It was a hell of a lot of fun for the 6 months I played though.
@gangsta and darth No. They offered a 10 year deal, which is NOT what Steam is getting. There's no expiration on Steam.
