Re: Talking Point: Should We Be Expecting More From Remakes And Remasters?

Dimjimmer

I really don't like this drip-feed remake/remaster thing. I'd much prefer if Nintendo just released their older catalog in some form that we could easily access, because there are still so many Nintendo-owned games that are not available in digital form. But they will never do that, for they know they can easily sell a remaster of a 20-years-old game for full price and have others justify it, because it hasn't been available for purchase ever since then.

Re: Players Need To Start "Feeling Comfortable" With Not Owning Games, Says Ubisoft Subs Boss

"As people embrace that [streaming] model, they will see that these games will exist, the service will continue, and you'll be able to access them when you feel like. That's reassuring."

You mean, as reassuring as Netflix removing movies from its service and increasing its monthly cost? Or as reassuring as Ubisoft making "The Crew" permanently unplayable because they couldn't be arsed to implement an offline mode?

Nice try, Ubisoft.

Re: It's Over, Microsoft Has Officially Acquired Activision Blizzard

Dimjimmer

Excellent news! Can't wait for more promises of older games rereleases that won't actually happen and monkey paws for those who do, all for the tiny, tiny price of less competition.

Back from Sarcasm Land, the writing was on the wall. If Microsoft was willing to spend close to 70 billion dollars for the acquisition, I doubt they would balk at a few more to evade any potential roadblocks.
