No Switch?

LOGICWINS1819d ago

Never expected it to be on Switch as the current version of the Switch isn't powerful enough to run it.

DaDrunkenJester1819d ago

Just wait until we get next gen consoles. Switch will get even less

King_Noctis1819d ago

Well at least the Switch is getting Ultimate Marvel Alliance 3, so that’s that.

averagejoe261818d ago

Eh, that doesn't do much for me. UMA3 is a glorified mobile game.

I hope us Switch owners get a really awesome Marvel game one day.

Obscure_Observer1819d ago

The threat that Stadia represents is real as i predicted! The new war (Consoles vs Streaming) will be upon us THIS year!

I will continue to support CONSOLE gaming!

PhantomS421819d ago

"will be upon us THIS year!"

It will also end this year considering Stadia is a complete joke and is already DOA.

Antifan1819d ago

No war will happen. Because in order for there to be a war, Stadia needs a fanbase. No one is a fan of this trash.

outsider16241819d ago

"Consoles vs streaming" a new war? You're kidding right?
Stadia can have a fanbase all they like. Not me. I rather stick to old school gaming.

CorndogBurglar1819d ago

I feel like you're just saying things to make yourself sound right, even though it isn't true.

What war are you talking about? Anyone that doesn't visit these websites (aka, the vast majority of people that buy video games) have never even heard of Stadia.

georeo1819d ago

Who told you that? The people are speaking on how they feel about it. What planet are you from again?

Ratchet751819d ago (Edited 1819d ago )

Makes me laugh when people say Stadia is the Netflix of gaming.
Last time I checked, you don't have to buy every movies you watch on Netflix.

BlaqMagiq11818d ago

You really think it's a new war out here? Stop it. No one thinks that but you. Everyone knows the Stadia will fail.

@above

It´s easy to downplay and mock competition when you have nothing to lose.

These quotes are from Jim Ryan himself:

"This transition is probably gonna be more interesting than any other we've seen in the past. We obviously have one recently announced new entrant into the gaming space [Google] and the possibility of more to come.

So the landscape is changing fast. If we simply kinda lean back on the world that we've known for the past 25 years, we're at grave risk of having events around us overtake us. So we have to show an open-mindedness and a desire to do things to an extent that we haven't had to in the past.

One manifestation of that is the memorandum of understanding signed with Microsoft. Which is a kind of wide ranging MOU that covers a number of areas of collaboration between Sony and Microsoft. One of the main ones is cloud gaming.

The world's changing very fast and in a very interesting way.

We have a cloud gaming service right now, and we've added on it for a number of years. I think maybe we've been a bit guilty of not talking about it enough. Now we're in 19 countries, we have 170 publishers on board, 780 games in the States. We've actually achieved a lot, and probably a lot more than people realize. And our intent is to build on those learnings and really look to try to take PlayStation Now to the next level later this year and then in the years to come."

He pretty much admited that Google/Stadia (and all the new players in the field) forced their hand to do things that they weren´t willing to do in the past! Like join forces with Microsoft! That´s why Sony will take PS Now to the "next level" LATER THIS YEAR!

Stupid and arrogant biased people will say that Sony has nothing to worry about, as usual. So i´m glad that Sony recognizes their competitors potential and are willing to do what they have to do to secure the Playstation brand position on TOP! Crossplay incoming? Day One Playstion exclusives on PS Now? Sony will do it if they realize that such actions are a necessary move to survive and, in the end, fanboys will have to find some way to deal with the new reality one way or another. Soon!

imtiyaz61818d ago

If Stadia works without latency, or frame rate drops, Sony is in real trouble. Not needing a console is a game changer. I can predicts parents rejoicing the fact that they don’t need to spend the initial 300-400 dollars on consoles for their kids. Quality will determine its outcome. Sony needs to go even harder on their first party exclusives development to stay in the game.

FFXV, Nier Automata, KH3...all current gen SE games, not appearing on the Switch. Avengers aren't gonna change that.

1818d ago
chris2351819d ago

they would have to cut out 70% of the game for it to run on this nonconsole.

AnotherGamer1819d ago

I mean, it was kinda expected.

Darkborn1819d ago

I still wonder if this game is an mmo-lite or whatever they call it now kinda like Warframe or destiny. All I know is if it isn't free to play on launch, it might not be picked up as much just because everyone keeps getting burned on these types of games until like a year after launch. I'm still curious on this game and I just hope it's not a cover based shooter. I'm pretty sure the division 2 has that base covered and they learned a lot from all the problems with the first one.

Jsm89k1819d ago

What are you talking about? Ff14 is a subscription based game and it just crossed the 15m player mark.

Darkborn1819d ago (Edited 1819d ago )

It's also a completely different game. What I'm saying is another GaaS game probably won't have the thunder of previous launches due to almost everyone of them having a terrible launch year basically.
Edit* I also remember ff14 having a terrible launch and it having to go through a rebranding..

Larrysweet1819d ago

No not even close its single player lol with coop

averagejoe261818d ago

Nope. Been confirmed as a shared world online game.

PhoenixUp1819d ago

I sure hope the Switch owners boasting about Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 don’t start port begging for this game

roadkillers1819d ago

No, there's enough quality on the Switch. Currently being shipped out for training and stuck at an airport for... going on 23hrs. The switch and Mario Party have kept us busy.

I won't hold my breath until we see a trailer.

I’m so ready for Suicide Squad to fill the Avengers void in my life

Marvel’s Avengers didn’t soar properly on PS5 and Xbox, but Kill the Justice League looks like it will improve on it in every way.

I can’t work out if this guy is just being sarcastic

Leeroyw127d ago

This website pumps out one shill article after the other. Does not qualify as journalism.

ShwaaMan127d ago

Said the guy who just got a big check from WB.

YourMommySpoils127d ago

Does that mean it will have a thousand pointless costumes like Avengers did, not related to the game or source?

coolbeans127d ago

"Guy who's excited for Suicide Squad to fill the void left by The Avengers' closure."

Traecy127d ago

I'll be checking it out on day one of release.

Why Have Many of the Online Multiplayer Games of the Past Five Years Failed?

Here's a look at why so many online-multiplayer games from the past five years have struggled to retain players and their attention.

ChasterMies229d ago

Or put another way, why don’t people want to invest in an on-line storefront?

sparky77229d ago

It's simply FOMO.

Gamers always go back to their staples like COD or Fortnite. Those games have constant content and leaving them for another game means getting left behind. Why start a new game and be behind when you can stay with a game you already excel at.

Number1TailzFan229d ago (Edited 229d ago )

COD is replaced every year or almost every year, it has no time to hold a player base. 3-4 years is a good timeline for a sequel IMO if the game has enough content to begin with, maybe add a couple of free content updates a bit later after release if needed, and job done until the next game.

Soldier of Fortune 2 was one of my first few online FPS games apart from RTCW and a couple of others, and that had a couple of free patches which added in new weapons, maps and a new game mode in just a year or so. I hope the series makes a comeback, I heard MS owns it now and it has been dormant for a while.

The only sequel that came fast (just 1 year later) that impressed me with extra content over the original was L4D2, makes me wonder what happened with Valve. If they can do that in one year then what have they been doing since..

-Foxtrot229d ago (Edited 229d ago )

Because it's not about putting out a fully completed game packed with content and something that actually works

It's about putting something out broken and barebones, slowly drip feed content with a roadmap and offering tons of MTs which they hope people will buy.

I miss when you'd just get games like Killzone or Halo and they'd get a couple of DLC packs then the developers would move onto the next game. Problem is they started to be influenced by COD where future games had to have gimmicks, weapon mods, loadouts, killstreaks and other shit which just become about what you had unlocked rather than skill.

The last multiplayer game I really enjoyed was Uncharted 2s, it was literally just two boosters and everyone started with the same weapons. It was great and felt like it was more about skill but then we got Uncharted 3 and 4 where the COD influence creeped in thinking that everything had to be bigger rather than sticking to the fanbase they had.

Nitrowolf2229d ago

i agree. i used to love MP games for these titles, and be excited about the map packs and such. now it's we will release one mode and one map, and see how people take to the game. Flops? cool move on.

isarai229d ago

Even before the PS3 generation ended, I was already longing for a return to simplistic MP without all the XP, booster, perks, and ridiculous custom loadouts full of op exploitation. Like there's definitely a huge audience for that, but there's NO classic style simple MP modes anymore, I'm just asking for some

ZeekQuattro229d ago

Most people don't have the time to invest into playing multiple GAAS and stick to just one. It also doesn't help that so many games in that field only have a roadmap laid out for the first month or so. Hard to keep people invested when you don't give them a reason to stick around after the initial launch month.

excaliburps228d ago

Yep. I know what you mean. I can't play more than 1-2 live service games at a time (this includes shooters) since it's just so overwhelming.

shinoff2183229d ago (Edited 229d ago )

My theory , well online gaming just sucks, so many online games recently that if done the right way could've been dope ass single player games. One that comes to mind evil dead. What a waste of the title
