I think there’s a real possibility that Metriod Prime 4 is being saved for next generation Nintendo hardware. And it possibly being a launch game.

I’ve been thinking would this upset a lot of people if they’ve been waiting to play and have to shell out for a new console that will be very difficult to get.

Do you think it it should be cross platform like Twilight Princess or BOTW? Or will it being exclusive help better to make the game an evergreen title that has legs with every new console sale (provided it’s actually good)?

Robocop. I finally got around to playing this and it’s better than I expected for a licensed game.

This explains the PlayStation plus price hike. They need more margin. I canceled my membership which will stop in March. Good riddance.

@sealionact:

It’s simple. Xbox hasn’t been much competition for the PlayStation. Sony and the PlayStation team are getting cocky again. It’s why we need healthy competition. If Xbox was as dominant as they were in the 7th gen things would be a lot different.

Don Mattrick really damaged the brand back in 2013. MS could have recovered like Nintendo did with the Switch but Matt Booty has done a terrible job at leading the first party efforts of Xbox.

Phil is a master at deception. It’s crazy how fans are delusional and breathing a sigh of relief.

Closed platforms are beneficial because they enable more chances at higher quality games as competition between platform holders happens so they can take market share.

Additionally a generation “reset” is good because these large storefronts have yet to tackle the discoverablity issues for new developers looking to break through and users looking for new experiences. The main way devs get visibility is by racing to the bottom with discounts.

Once devs and publishers continue to struggle for profits. MS will gobble them up so they eventually can make a closed platform again to make more profit but this time with a stronghold on some of the biggest publishers in the industry.

While they work to open every thing up, there will be more Xbox games coming to other platforms especially if this trial is successful.

I agree with a lot of people here. Valve has the best chance of making one without it being a massive flop. Apple, Amazon, Google (LOL) etc. don’t have industry knowledge and a base of consumers to tap into like Valve does.

I don’t preorder games but with physical copies on their way out, some games ship very little copies and my hand is forced.

Especially for niche games…

I used to love my 360 back in the day. I’d love to see the first three Gears of War games make it to PC remastered (no remake!) and possibly other consoles.

Current gen? Nah I’ll pass.

Holy this was bad. My expectations were low but this makes me want to play the original to erase this trailer from my mind.

I think a handheld is still a better investment than VR but this thing would still be DOA.
