The Resurgence of Retro Gaming and Remakes: Why Nostalgia is Shaping the Future of Video Games
Lightning773d ago (Edited 3d ago ) @Main I quoted Rosenberg at the bottom he said it himself on the interview that him and guys go out and find hidden gems. This interview wouldn't mean much but Black Myth was supposed to release simultaneously along with the Xbox version unfortunately, it didn't. Got taken off and GS said it was the S. MS said there was a deal in place.

“We Apologise And Would Like To Correct This”, Says Analyst Who Claimed FF 16 Only Sold 3.5M Copies
DivineHand1258d ago (Edited 8d ago ) If it has the opportunity to launch on all platforms at launch then yes the sales would have been better but it is difficult to say by how much. It would have benefited from the excitement and marketing in that window. One thing to bear in mind is that it would be a struggle to get the game running on the Xbox because of the series S. The game does not hit a stable 60 on either the base PS5 or PS5 Pro.
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic is still in development at Saber, promises COO

Xbox Has Revoked Alan Wake Remastered License For Those Who Claimed Free Copies Via Store Exploit
Terry_B427d ago (Edited 427d ago ) A good list that covers a good variation of different types of video game music needs to have at least a minimum of 25 different games. There in the list are just 9. And only one of them is from a game older than 10 years. Most of them were released in the last 3 years I think. Its a shitty list actually..with a shitty headline and a shitty image with zelda, god of war and street fighter while none of them is discussed in the list.

Shuhei Yoshida Reveals Jim Ryan Offered Him Choice Between Indie Role Or Leaving PlayStation
ABizzel18h ago It could be helpful only if the results actually show consistently across the board and has undeniable exclusive content to back it up. That hasn’t happened. What has happened is the weaker platform of the two Xbox has outsold their high-end console allegedly 3:1, which paints the story that most Xbox gamers don’t care about performance.
Xbox creator believes modern Xbox's "narrative around being more powerful is not helpful today”
Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Reassures Xbox Gamers Their Gaming Library Isn't Going Anywhere Xbox's CEO Phil Spencer assures that, even though they are expanding to other platforms, Xbox gamer's libraries aren't going anywhere.
Shuhei Yoshida looks back at 31 years at Sony PlayStation
Deathdeliverer6h ago I’m going to give you the harrowing truth of what he said. You will have your Xbox game library for generations to come. It’s still tied to your account. If Gamepass is turned into Microsoft Gamepass because Xbox no longer exist, it’s just a name change. You still have your games. Doesn’t matter if it’s Microsoft Gamespass on PlayStation, Steam, or Switch. Link your account and you’re golden because you can play on the cloud.

Squirrel Girl Isn't the Only Great Lakes Avenger That Could Shine in Marvel Rivals
PapaBop2d ago (Edited 2d ago ) As someone who has pumped over 1000 hours in OW over the years, I agree. Many elements of the game are definitely shameless copies of OW and that's not really a bad thing because those elements work. I think they've also branched out nicely putting their own flair into the character designs, nothing in OW feels anything like Cloak and Dagger which is the hero I've spent most of my time on so far.

CoPilot: Gaming Chat is an amazing revelation - A true gamer friend at your side
CrimsonWing69174d ago (Edited 174d ago ) @Michiel1989 You’re absolutely correct. Look, the dude is a visionary and has brought us some incredible games, but he constantly would go over budget and could never stick to a deadline. I don’t know if people remember the MGS 4 trailers but it became a joke when you’d see a release date and then they crossed it out in the next trailer to give another. What a lot of people don’t know is there’s a certain amount of money given for development and marketing.
Hellblade 2 Is Now Unofficially Available on PlayStation (Sort Of)
RonsonPL162d ago (Edited 162d ago ) Was about to say that. It's almost as if people got bored with nice visuals and didn't find the game fun enough to continue. The times we live in are sad compared to the golden era I was lucky to experience 30 years ago. Games were fun and were made to be played, not watched. Now all the big publishers and console manufacturers seem to be only able to discern two game genres. Multiplayer focused online game and story driven single player games.

Vagrant Story Director Is Working On 2 New Games
MadLad943d ago (Edited 943d ago ) Are my comments bad? I believe in paying for value. I'm a PC guy, therefore I don't need to pay to play online. I also get access to 99% of titles that get released. So any service model I take part of actually have to offer me value. I don't feel the need to get on my knees for Sony as they try to sell backwards compatibility back to you, and I can usually get their service games cheaper on either PC, or just at a used game store.

15 Last-Gen Games That Still Compete with Current-Gen Graphics
SimpleSlave349d ago For me the feel of the gunplay wasn't the issue, I actually enjoy the heaviness of it, but the game and level design. It was a one note, linear, and mostly boring affair. All around an extremely mediocre FPS. Ever played the game BLACK? Cuz that game was more Killzone than Killzone itself. When it comes to Shadow Fall, it showed the direction the franchise could've gone and the possibilities but instead it proceeded to fall flat on it's face.
Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series
Travesty228d ago (Edited 228d ago ) I’m beating a dead horse here… but Resisitance FOM gun lay out was so fun, multiplayer was one of my top favorite experiences. Insomniac nailed it and I would love a remaster and maybe a redo with Reisistance 2. They listens to players who were wanting a Halo killer and it kind of lost its character from the first. Warhawk, if they had just remade the first one not Starhawk which offered nice things like the build and battle..
Star Citizen 1.0 Release Plans Revealed with 5 Star Systems & Massive Player-Owned Space Stations
Abriael15h ago(Edited 15h ago) I laugh every time people like you bring up the "100 star systems" because it tells me you don't know a thing. When they promised "100 star systems" each planet was literally a loading screen and one small area. That's what they explicitly promised. No planetary surface. No biomes. No landing your ship or taking off besides a cutscene. Easy to do 100 star systems like that.
Like It or Not, Publishers Won’t Stop Churning out Video Game Remasters
Rude-ro13d ago Microsoft was first to require pay to play online. Microsoft was last to do crossplay. Microsoft was first to force crossplay between their console players and pc players. Microsoft was first to push a Microsoft account to play on pc. Microsoft lead the third party contracts of exclusivity. Sony… want a free account of psn to play their games, like an already existing standard of third party developers like ea, Ubisoft, Microsoft…. And they lost their way.
Star Citizen's Squadron 42 Will Release in 2026 with 30-40 Hours of Campaign; Gameplay Revealed
maelstromb4d ago (Edited 4d ago ) Based on this team's history, I won't hold my breath. CI has to be one of the most perfection-driven devs I've ever seen... And yet the years roll on by and very little ever sees a final/complete release. How they maintain goodwill with their player base is beyond me.
Looking Back, The Order: 1886 Not Spawning A Franchise Is Absolutely Tragic
-Foxtrot70d ago I enjoyed it but I understood the criticism however I do think some people went overboard, like they did for Days Gone where it's made out to be the worst thing possible. For me it was just how slow it felt, like these guys were wearing massive armour which was weighing them down.
Star Citizen Alpha 3.24.2 Brings New Ship, Customization Options, & More Ahead of CitizenCon
SimpleSlave14d ago Trash company led by trash people. Chris Roberts is just a sleazy grifter. He and his family have been living the good life while mismanaging this albatross. And THIS is the scam. Understand that the Feature Creep, the extending of the deadlines, the Roadmap for the Roadmap, the CGI movies, selling JPEGS, the YouTube Vids, CitizenCON, and the Hopes and Dreams of the Ultimate Space Sim ARE the product. The games, if they do come out, are just a bi-product.

Motorsport Games is for sale
Chocoburger54m ago(Edited 54m ago) H-O-L-Y S-H-I-Z-! Absolutely laughable this moron has zero self awareness! His job is to make Ubishit games are grindy as possible in order to coerce people into spending more money via micro-trash-actions for EXP Boosters, Skill Points, Resource Boosters, comical outfits and weapon skins. Did your job position even exist when Ubishit was a good company? The era before the micro-trash-action obsession?

Context Around the Assassin's Creed Shadows Delay
Chocoburger2d ago (Edited 2d ago ) I said this previously, but it would have been nice if Ubishit learned how to delay their games in the past, instead of rushing them out at any cost for Black Friday sales. They burned too many customers over the years, assuming that many of them would just accept their fake apologies and keep buying their slop.
14 Years Later, God of War 3 Still Has The Best Boss Fights
Heavenly King488d ago Ascension SP had some things better than GOW3, and also some things worst than GOW3. But in general it was a really good game, for me it also deserves a REMASTER.
AC Shadows Was Reportedly A ‘Bugged Mess,’ Before Delay; Splinter Cell Remake Was Internally Delayed
Christopher4d ago (Edited 4d ago ) @RaidenBlack: I'm thinking they can remove content for one character and put the story being told in those bits as vignettes of them played out to relieve the possible flip flop. You are right, yeah, February is still far off, but I still think "because of Ghost" is irrational. I think the game is just not good. And, honestly, whatever changes they make? Probably won't fix the core issues.

Ghost of Yotei May Not Be Tsushima 2, But It Doesn't Mean Jin is Done For
-Foxtrot16h ago @Christopher "But I don't think there are any that are notable for representation unless you completely ignore history and start entirely creating your own" But while the story in Tsushima is historical and respected it still took a lot of liberties to create their own personal story within it. If the story was 100% accurate then you wouldn't have gotten the story we got.

Review: Charming as all hell, Astro Bot is a love letter to Sony by Sony itself - Entertainium
Lightning771d 2h ago Angry rant incoming. Because gamers these days are stupid that's why. They wanna complain about LS BS yet dont wanna support fun creative games such as these. They wanna play their boring Fortnite, Apex, roblox, Cod, Sports, Sports crap. Or whatever other LS shit there is. It's not us core gamers it's casuals who don't know better or they don't anything at all. If it's not a neon, shiny, goofy pastel cell shaded dumb lookin characters in arena world they don't care.
Assassin's Creed Shadows World Trailer & World / Tech Spotlight
thesoftware7302d ago (Edited 2d ago ) Jznrpg, Ok that's thanks for pointing this out, you just effectively made the PS5 pro look even worse, lets put it all in perspective. First the whole "option for disc drive is not a flex, it was removed from the base PS5. S/X has 2 models out, one with a disc drive and one without...so same shit. Onto the 2TB of the pro, S/X has a 2TB option and sold separately 1TB or 2TB storage solutions...options is good remember?
Why Assassin's Creed Shadows Is Likely To Succeed Despite Controversy
montebristo36d ago Resident evil 5 was dope lol. Remember when people called that racist and they had to add white zombies lol. It’s not even about the black character imo. This was the setting that AC was leading up to. If you’re grown you probably know the differences between the first ACs and these newer ones. It was based much more on historical accuracy. The important characters were the ones you weren’t playing.

Activision kills ambitious H2M Modern Warfare 2 mod one day before its release
Godmars290283d ago MS has never seen Xbox hardware as important. Never. It why they didn't buy vital parts for OG Xbox. Why the 360 was rushed causing RRoD. Why 1st edition XB1 was built around Kinect, and technically crippled as a result. Its why they're talking more about streaming than Series X while not really talking about how Series S sells better. Is hindering the more powerful system. Even when MS honestly tried making games, PC specs where more important than their own console.
The Order: 1886 Sequel Was Set To Focus Heavily On Gameplay Improvements
DarXyde365d ago I think the overall reception being mixed was very appropriate for this game. Most people, I think, would agree that it was the best looking game of the last generation. The level of polish and detail was uncanny. Calling the gameplay shallow? I don't really agree. It was mundane and common for the genre. Nothing really stands out, but "shallow" isn't what I would say. Game was super linear. R@D was clearly aiming for an emphasis (perhaps overemphasis) on narrative and cinematics.
