Right now, it’s interesting from marketing standpoint. Once acquisition is complete and if what Phil said about giving them chance to work something else does happen, then it’s interesting for us gamers.

This is just a random guess, with their newfound thirst for GaaS games they might get a studio that’s good at them.

CDPR lines up more with their older cinematic experience views

Yep, but they got a few studios focused on that now, right? Or not a whole lot yet?

How many people care about their OG Xbox disk games at this point? As long as they get their digital copy I highly doubt that there are more than 5-10% of the whole gaming population. Digitization all the way!

Already discussed why can’t anybody ask a straight question like “how big is it in billions for example” or use some scale that we can estimate…

lol

There’s plenty of bigger acquisitions out there than KJP but the idea of comparing an Ember Labs to Kojima is beyond laughable

and lets not act like everyone disliked DS even if you did, it won the most GOTY awards in 2019

KJP would be a bigger deal than every studio Sony have bought so far except for Bungie and Insomniac but that’s only because of Spiderman

They’ve got a few focused on that yes, but not a lot.

oooooh interesting

The Gematsu article for NMH3 also says it will be on Windows Store so maybe a Game Pass game?

We saw SoS Friends of Mineral Town (also Marvelous) get a Windows Store version too though and that isn’t on Game Pass yet so it’s hard to tell.

First trying to raise Gold to $120/yr and now this… Can they not just have some success without trying to ruin it? Come on Xbox, hopefully they get enough backlash.

Advertisement in games? Uhh…

Has anyone actually read the article?

If it’s something I barely notice then I dont really care

People constantly complain about ads on the dashboard but they havn’t bothered me once in the 15 years they’ve been doing it since 360

It depends on how disruptive it is. If it’s that bullshit that NBA 2K and UFC tried to pull where you literally must watch an ad before playing then FUCK the hell off. If it’s in game billboards with real life products on them then this is literally nothing new and has been happening since 360.

I remember Saints Row 2 used to update the in game billboards with real life ads like AXE spray and a Nightmare on Elm Street movie poster.

I did not because it is paywalled.

Personally I don’t see it is a big a deal. We already have marketing in some forms in games - except they are mostly fake brands.

Didn’t say you were alone, the game was divisive, many people hated it while many people loved it

Plus it’s not like it’s the only game Kojima has made

The whole thing with this is, insiders talk about it, but they don’t give the full information on what the rumor is. Greg Miller delayed his show for it, but then it seems nothing happened, and now here we are, lol.
