Microsoft sets November as a launch date for the XBox Series X.
But if you're thinking about getting Halo Infinite as a launch title, think again. It's been pushed into 2021. https://www.ign.com/articles/xbox-se...plans-detailed |

Besides Sony getting exclusive content for Playstation versions, Square Enix's Marvel's Avengers game is also currently rumored to contain timed exclusive content that will be locked into specific retailers and internet providers.

Jesus the way this game is going they may as well have as breaks in between the gameplay. Like there’s been cross marketing in games for years, but this Avengers game is approaching ludicrousness.

That's a new level of wank right there. Never planned on buying the game, but god damn.
It's like a disturbing trend man. Like there are going to start being lobbyists from ISP's and shit who say "Hey, we will help fund your game if you give our subscribers early, exclusive stuff". What a fucking mess of a game that one sounds like. |

Based on a recent investor's meeting, Capcom is currently undecided on if they will enact a $10 price hike for their next gen games.
At the moment, only one major publisher, Ubisoft, has committed to remaining at $60 for their net gen games at least for the launch period. Quote:

Turbo-Graphix mini has a bunch of games from its Japanese counterpart, the PC Engine. I might look into getting one.

Epic Games recently sued Apple over issues regarding the status of Fortnite and V-Bucks purchases at the App Store.
The main issue revolves around Epic Games has been in a growing dispute with Apple and Google regarding the current revenue splits and fees for purchases made at their digital stores. Epic recently took their dispute to a new level by issuing a permanent price cut for V-Bucks but only for those who purchase it directly from Epic and not from the App Store of Play Store. Epic's antics resulted in Apple pulling Fornite from their App Store over claims of Epic violating their digital store's rules. That then led to Epic filing a lawsuit against Apple claiming Apple committed violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, the California Cartwright Act, and the California Unfair Competition Law.

So host the mobile downloads on their own site. Sucks for Apple users.... but they've had a walled garden since forever anyway.
Epic will be fine. Devices that already had it installed are still installed. |

The fucking gall of Epic to try and turn Fortnite players against apple with their little video and hashtag. As if Epic isn't just as much of a greedy, soulless corporation that gives no actual fucks for their user base.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. That's going to cause some screaming down the road. I mean, Xbox Live and PS Plus is one thing. Online access, free games, sales discounts, etc.
But having to sign up for Facebook. One of the almighty gods of social media. Putting your name "out there" is something to really consider. Might even push some people to consider Sony or HTC's VR rigs if they're feeling the itch to try VR. |

Worst part is Facebook doesn't even hide the fact this is solely being done just to get more personal data from users for their ad algorithms.

That would be really cool, although given the track record of Batman games, I'm nervous about how it will turn out now that Rocksteady has moved on to Suicide Squad, which I'm really interested in.

Or are they scrambling and prepping for damage control after the toxic workplace report hit the 'net this afternoon? |

Apparently both the lead narrative designer and creative director of upcoming Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines game were abruptly fired from developer Hardsuit Labs studios.
Seems the reason is due to minority owner Paradox Interactive wasn't happy with the direction and development of the game since they were the only one from management to speak publicly about the firings at the moment. https://www.destructoid.com/stories/...2-601066.phtml |

- That grapple hook is god awful. Does not belong at all. - Either sprint is in or out, don't have it be this sluggish jog trying to make everyone happy you just piss everyone off. OG Halo fans, our demographic, needs to realize you're not getting kids to play a shooter with no sprint. Unless you're prepared for cult success rather than mega success. And we know which one Microsoft wants for Halo. - I guess you can equip items on both hands? The grapple took up a slot pertaining to the hand using it. - Looks like ADS is gone and only certain weapons can zoom in like older Halo. I don't really play Halo for story anymore after H4 and H5's back to back character assassination spree so I'm displeased that the delay certainly means I won't see multiplayer for another year maybe. |

I was actually kinda looking forward to it, but it looks like it will either never come out or be a hufe flop at $400. What are they thinking? You can get one of those crappy AtGames 2600's for like $50 |

* 343 Industries is currently denying recent rumors of development for the Xbox One version of Halo Infinite being shelved in favor of only developing the game for the Xbox Series X.
https://twitter.com/Unyshek/status/1298334578721996801 * For those who own Fall Guys but have been finding it to be less fun to play recently due to rampant cheaters, developer Mediatonic studios announced that an upcoming patch will tweak the game's anti-cheat system to boot cheating players after the end of a round instead of currently only at the end of a match. https://www.destructoid.com/stories/...s-601615.phtml * Update to recent Fornite lawsuit news as a judge recently gave a partial ruling both in favor and against Epic.

Official reason for the decision against Fornite was the judge stated that Epic's deliberate actions and not Apple were the cause for the game's removal. https://www.engadget.com/judge-prote...053428437.html * Nintendo is once again rumored to be currently working on a new Switch Pro model that is rumored to feature support for 4K graphics and be released at some point next year. https://www.destructoid.com/stories/...r-601587.phtml |

The more I hear about how Avengers works, the less I want it.
Its "armor" system is stat based, like Anthem. There's no visual change. That was a huge criticism of Anthem, and I don't like it here either. Showing off the armor you've earned is honestly a big part of loot based games, and removing that really takes a lot of fun out of the grind. Loot based games only work if the loot pool is diverse and exciting. This doesn't look like a lot of work was put into it. Feels tacked on. Anthem did it so they could sell cosmetic armor as microtransactions, and it's no different for Avengers. They're just sneakier about it. Every character has their own seperate battle pass with cosmetic skins. You can grind to unlock it all in game, or you can spend money to unlock the skins. If it's anything like 99% of battle passes, it will have glacial progress speed to tempt rank up purchases. Just about every "live service" game with the exception of Monster Hunter World has stumbled out of the gate, and this is looking like another in a long line of games that get "fixed" later on. Wish we could have just gotten something like Spider-man. |

This becomes the 2nd game confirmed to be getting a price hike for next gen following Take Two's announcement for NBA 2K21. Quote:

Think Nintendo can have a larger market impact with cheaper games that are still awesome.
I completely understand the rationale of hours invested into money's worth, but $70 just seems steep for a single purchase. As buggy and fucked as many games were at launch this gen, the quality drastically needs to improve. Hopefully better tech will allow for that, but something tells me the driving force of "quarterly reports" will still produce meh results. |
