hitmyspot, do gaming w Ex-PlayStation boss says games should be shorter because development costs are ‘not sustainable’ [VGC]

Most games that are long are artificially so, with padded out content and grinding to advance. Short excellent games sell well. Huge expensive messes don’t.

Just like movies, large blockbuster, high budget content can sell well but does risk sacrificing its soul and purpose. Occasionally one is both excellent technically, artistically and fun too.

Or you can have smaller games with a more specific purpose which won’t sell as well. Some low budget games are bad. Some high budget games are bad. Neither is a mark of quality, they are just different ways of making games with different outcomes and purposes.

Games need to turn a profit to be visible, so they should be looking at what’s the optimum way to spend their budget and make sales.

As gamers, we should be rewarding good games, and avoiding microtransactions and all the upsells. I don’t buy any cosmetics or additional content (unless it’s a continuation of the game that makes sense as another chapter). I want to avoid that side of gaming as it doesn’t lead to good games. I pay full price at launch for my favourite game series, but not extra content. Other games I purchase later on sale.

The playing time isn’t sustainable either

Well colour me shocked lmao

mox, (edited ) do games w Tencent reportedly wants a greater say over Ubisoft as investment discussions continue

This is not surprising, but it’s nevertheless interesting, because it seems to disprove a naïve assumption that I’ve seen repeated over the years: that Tencent doesn’t influence the game companies it invests in.

So … what … Ubisoft isn’t greedy and predatory enough for them?

“Reactivating dormant IP” aka “Milking old franchises”, because it’s cheaper and safer than coming up with innovative stuff.

Kunitsu-Gami was this year. Like it or not, Exoprimal was last year. And Capcom’s got a ton of IP that would work really well in the modern era and/or deserve compatibility with modern x64 hardware. I’d personally love to see Viewtiful Joe and Darkstalkers come back.

rockerface,

Innovation for the sake of innovation isn’t it either, chief. You gotta strike a balance between new and familiar.

Weren’t there trailers for both during the Game Awards? Seems a pretty big confirmation:

Don’t mind me, I’ll be sitting here waiting patiently for my Destiny of an Emperor remake.

Power Stone!

MegaMan L E G E N D S

God fuckin damnit!

simple,

I would just take anything Megaman at this point. The series has been dormant for ages.

HeyJoe,

At least you got Mighty #9 plus mega man 11 in the last 10 years.

Where’s that breath of fire at

Viewtiful Joe is definitely one that should get the treatment

Lmao what. The only reason the Xbox wouldn’t be successful is, well, Xbox. MS aren’t doing a great job with their consoles, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be possible for competition to exist.

xavier666,

The XBox XGo, which only supports games from Gamepass and Microsoft Store!

Note: Gamepass only valid for 1 year. Steam/Epic/GoG not supported currently

ILikeBoobies,

Microsoft has to prop up Sony to avoid monopoly lawsuits after they bought out the majority of the industry

If they could make COD and Elder Scrolls xbox exclusives then they would win the “war” right there

SkunkWorkz,

I’m sure that if Microsoft was allowed to do that Sony would have bought up a Japanese studio with the backing of the Japanese government like a Capcom or Sega. Probably the only reason Sony didn’t buy a bigger share of Kadokawa is because MS isn’t a real threat.

ILikeBoobies,

You’re comparing pumpkins to grapes

Sony could be given the whole yokai watch IP and it wouldn’t matter much outside of the domestic market

meliaesc,

Xbox has the gamepass to make money.

kalr, do games w The games industry ‘will only have room for one non-Nintendo console next gen’, it’s claimed | VGC

Xbox would be the one to fall out. Mainly because Microsoft prioritizes software and service over major hardware gains. Their console is mostly a complementary device for users to access their services so this not necessarily a bad thing. With most of their games no longer exclusive this makes the most sense.

Overall Sony and Nintendo will face stiff competition from PC and it’s handheld markets as they are the best value platforms albeit with a major upfront cost. Nintendo will remain popular enough due to its widely attractive exclusive games and it’s the device that is perceived best for kids. Playstation will remain the go-to platform for people who want a quick plug and play platform and not deal with the “fuss” of PC. The PS5 Pro was their trial attempt at making something more powerful for that crowd.
