Speaking of Anthem, supposedly the game made around $100 million since its launch but its on track to do well below EA's game sales expectations. EA wanted 6 million copies sold in 6 weeks and instead its around 1.6 million with about 2 weeks left.
|
Clearly it was the marketing department that is responsible for this. Good thing EA got rid of them.

A new game in the Legend of Zelda series is currently in development based on recent job postings from Monolith Soft, developer of the Xenoblade Chronicles series.
Wouldn't be the first time they've worked on Zelda games but only in a supporting role and not main dev role. Quote:

Ubisoft announced their upcoming RTS game called Anno 1800 will be available for both Steam and Epic Games Store although with a big catch.
The Steam version will only be available for sale via pre-order until its launch. Afterwards, the game will only be purchasable on Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store. Quote:

Seems Valve ditched their partnership with HTC and will be releasing their own VR headset this June. Also was confirmed to not simply be an April Fools gag by Valve.

Whatever grand plans Ubisoft had for their toys-to-life Starlink game is now in the gutter since they recently stopped all production of the game's figurines.
Also means the new set of figurines originally planned to arrive as part of the big Spring update for the game will no longer be happening. https://www.destructoid.com/starlink...s-548968.phtml |
Strange outcome being the game itself was well recieved. Guess the kids didn't dig it.

Shame. Seemed like it was what Starfox Zero should of been.

Next Assassin's Creed game is rumored to be titled as "Kingdom" and take place during the Viking era, based on a supposed Easter egg in The Division 2.

For those interested, Sony finally added the ability to change user names on PSN starting today although it does come with a few big warnings.
Similar to Microsoft, the first change is free and afterwards its $10 per name change. PS+ members only have to pay $5 for additional name changes. Quote:

* According to a recent episode of Kotaku's Splitscreen podcast show, Bungie originally had plans for Destiny 2's Forsaken expansion pack to feature cross-platform support for character transfers. Those plans were squashed due to Sony's refusal to approve it for PS4 and marketing reasons involving the game.

Judging from what that PS5 is potentially packing in terms of hardware, along with backwards compatibility, and still using discs...…..
Sounds fantastic. |
That Capcom home arcade is a fucking joke. For the same price you could get the same thing, at the same price from Pandora’s box, except with 1500 games instead of 16.

If anyone is looking for a freebie today, Ubisoft put Assassins' Creed: Unity on their Uplay store for free in honor of the Notre Dame Cathedral fire. They're also donating $500k to the restoration effort.

Doesnt mean shit if you put a PS4 pro enhanced game in it and it doesn't play in 4k
|
The PS5 is confirmed to output at 8K, I think it'll be fine.
|
Rather than systems that output games in 8K and 1640 P or whatever I'd like one that I can play on a TV that's smaller than 50 inches and still be able to read what's on the screen

Faster loading times being a given makes sense since anything else would likely require special patches made by devs for their games.
Might have some rare cases where backwards compatibility could cause problems if certain stuff is hard coded like with GTA V and Halo 3 on the Xbox 360 or if the PS5's emulator is a bit wonky like Xbox 360's emulator for original Xbox games. |
For those interested in the Switch version of Final Fantasy X-2 Remaster, apparently Square Enix made things a lot more of a hassle than needed to be for the game if you opt for the physical release.

Would be cool if they made a sequel to Wildlands but combined it with Future Warfighter or something.

Totally down for a new Ghost Recon game if it's setup like Wildlands. Aside from the end of that game, it was a blast.

* According to a report from Gameindustry.biz, Starbreeze Studios is currently facing serious financial issues and could potential shut down within the next 12 months unless a new investor is found.
https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articl...dity-shortfall * According to a report from Kotaku, over 150 employees recently walked out of Riot Games in protest of the company's toxic workplace environment and poor handling of their recent discrimination lawsuits. The tipping point was the company recently filed a motion for all of their lawsuits to be placed into Forced Arbitration as a way to prevent their employees from filing more lawsuits against the company. https://kotaku.com/over-150-riot-emp...rbi-1834566198 https://www.destructoid.com/riot-gam...s-552779.phtml * In an update to recent Devil May Cry Switch port news, Capcom announced it will only be a digital release for the eShop. https://www.destructoid.com/devil-ma...e-552781.phtml * For those interested, EA announced their EA Access subscription service will finally be arriving on PS4 this July. https://www.destructoid.com/ea-acces...y-552791.phtml |
Would not be surprised if NetEase went and invested money into Starbreeze to keep them afloat. Or just outright bought them to add to their little collection of studios.

Jesus Christ, this industry.
The combination of terrible work environments and ridiculous levels of greed is making this hobby so fucking gross. At this point I’m almost hoping for another crash. God knows I’ve got enough in my backlog to keep me busy until it’s rebuilt. |
Seriously, just burn it all.

Rumor mill seems to think FF7 Remake is going to get a new trailer/big announcement at Sonys State of Play tomorrow. Secondary rumor is that perhaps it might be the rereveal of Deep Down from Capcom. Seems those are the 2 front runners for the announcement by a wide margin.

Ubisoft accidentally leaked their big Tom Clancy announcement early.
Next Ghost Recon game is called "Ghost Recon Breakpoint" and in terms of storyline timeline, it takes place after Wildlands' Operation Oracle DLC pack. Quote:
|
Fucking hyped for that shit, boy howdy. Wildlands is lots of fun.
|
Sweet.
Just change the location, keep the core gameplay intact, you can have my $60. |
Sounds like they’re doing what I hoped and adding a bit more GRAW into it.
|
Breakpoint looking awesome right now.
|
Yeah it does. Love the new realistic touches like getting shot in the leg affecting movement, and being able to move enemy and ally bodies.

Fuck.
I wanted an open world Predator game. Using the evolve formula is a pretty neat idea though. |
Likely they're going off the concepts they used in the Jason game, which blows Evolve out the water in terms of asymmetric gameplay. Predator is a good fit.
|
Xbox apparently leaked Janemba as the final dlc character for dragonball fighters.
Fuck yeah. |
Also no way they leave out UI Goku and Kefla, so I’m calling a season 3 right now
|
Damn. Really feeling the Super Best Friends break up with a new Mortal Kombat out. Would have been fun.

Apparently Yukes finally realized major changes are desperately needed for their WWE gaming series.
They are forming a new internal dev team who will be working on a brand new wrestling IP. The idea is to use this new IP to create internal competition and provide the motivation needed for the rest of the studio to make better WWE games. Also admitted that AKI leaving the wrestling genre was the worst thing to happen since it created the void in competition and led to them becoming too complacent in making WWE games. Quote:

Divert the games as one being arcadey, and the other being simulation.

Mortal Kombat movie will be filmed in South Australia and will be produced by James Wan.

The game itself launches on June 25th for PS4 and Xbox One. https://gematsu.com/2019/05/samurai-...cas-and-europe * Seems Ghost Recon Breakpoint isn't the only new Tom Clancy game in development at Ubisoft as the creative director of The Division 2 recently announced he is currently working on a new game in the Splinter Cell series. EDIT: Nevermind, it was just an elaborate joke by the creative director for some cheap laughs based on a statement made by Ubisoft afterwards. https://twitter.com/jgerighty/status...95675329335296 https://www.gamesradar.com/new-splin...-tweet-reveal/ |
I was gonna get Samurai Showdown anyway, so that’s awesome. Good on SNK for throwing their customers a bone.
|
Yeah now that's an incentive I can get behind. Reward early adopters with something decent for once.
|
FF7 is going to have an early November release date for part 1. Game will not be as episodic as thought and will instead be 2 parts only. I imagine the end of part 1 will either be when Aerith dies or when cloud loses his mind, having the second game start with the bit that takes place in his head. Will depend where they decide to expand upon the content the most.
|
The Division 2's upcoming raid, Dark Hours, will NOT have matchmaking support.
And, that was one of Ubisoft Massive's big promises for this game. All endgame content will have matchmaking capabilities. https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/05...ve-matchmaking |
If it’s anything like destiny’s raids, then matchmaking would be worthless. Though if they were planning that kind of raid, they shouldn’t have promised matchmaking to begin with.
|
For those interested, Namco will be releasing a new DLC pack tomorrow for Soulcalibur VI that contains around 50 new customisation items but like 49 of them don't matter since none compare to the new "cat hat" which is just putting a cat on the top of your character's head and shoulders.
Quote:

Namco corrected themself in that It's about 50 pieces, not over 150. The new update is pretty good, tested it right at launch.

Holy shit Mario Maker 2 looks good.

One of the games rumored to be getting revealed is Watch Dogs 3. https://www.destructoid.com/ubisoft-...0-553820.phtml |
Apparently Epic Games somehow managed to botch something as simple as holding their first sale on the Epic Games Store.
Biggest issue was several publishers pulling their games from the sale due to not being informed ahead of time and likely didn't have any input on the discounts being handed out. At least one noted issue of an artificial price hike being done in order to manipulate the special discount for games priced at $14.99 and over. On top of that was several noted cases of game purchases being denied and accounts locked due to anti-fraud security being falsely triggered. Its all due to the lack of a shopping cart feature for the store. https://www.destructoid.com/epic-gam...t-554005.phtml |
Having a store that functions properly and has basic features like a search bar or shopping cart isn’t nearly as important as buying exclusivity rights. Come on now.

According to a report from Kotaku, Activision recently pulled Sledgehammer Games Call of Duty project from development and Treyarch will now be handling next year's CoD game.
Unofficial reason is due to lingering issues with the game's development and constant bickering between Sledgehammer Games and co-developer Raven Software over its direction. Treyarch reportedly also got really upset over the new since now they have to deal with the fallout of Sledgehammer's game being dropped and likely rush development on their own CoD game due to now having one less year to work on it. https://kotaku.com/sources-call-of-d...ake-1834858368 |

Upcoming No Man's Sky has convinced me into saving for VR. I was worried about motion sickness. Don't want to spend that kind of money for something I can only use in 10 minute intervals. But after reading a few forums, it seems like something you only have to deal with from the start. Eventually you get used to it, and can play in full motion without a problem.
|
VR's not bad. You just gotta have the room to move around.
|
Death Stranding looks pretty darn good. Releases November 8th
|
One of my favorite experiences as a gamer is Kojima trailers. Sometimes I don't even want the game to ever come out. Just annual trailers.

Fuck off with all these publishers having their own subscription services.

So Mario Maker 2 introduces multiplayer to the game.
But you can only play online with randoms. Because they don't want playing with friends to affect leaderboards. My fucking brain hurts. |
* During a recent interview with PlayStation Lifestyle, one of the directors for Call of Duty Modern Warfare stated the game will not feature a Zombies mode and official reason is due to them focusing more on realism for its gameplay and story.

Pretty fast turnaround for Darksiders considering how long it was between 2 and 3.

Strife and his guns should be a blast to play with.
Hope they bring back a more open world concept this time. Fury without a horse in 3 was just weird. |
Spelunky 2 might come to the switch :) (@end)

That new concept sounds just plain weird for the new Watch Dogs.
If you were doing recruiting like in Assassins' Creed: Brotherhood and creating your own hacker crew or something, you might have my attention. |
According to a report from Forbes, cross-play for this year's Call of Duty game between has a bit of a catch in regards to PC players.
Its not a pure PC vs. Xbox/PS4 but works more similar to Fortnite. If a PC player uses a controller, they automatically get paired with console players. If they use a keyboard & mouse, they only get paired with other k&m PC players. Its possible for console players to play against k&m PC players but requires them to opt into those matches since matchmaking won't do it by default. Those restrictions on k&m PC players don't apply for party groups. Also its unknown if PS4 players will be restricted to matches only against PS4 players whenever a DLC pack gets released regardless if they bought it or not due to Sony's 1-week exclusivity for them. https://www.destructoid.com/call-of-...e-555907.phtml |
Darksiders Genesis is announced.
Yes, as you're playing as Strife. The twist here is that this is gonna be a Diablo style top-down format this time. |
That's not a twist, that's a spin-off.
