Hmm... well I haven't played the newer ones yet, but from what I have seen, most people who have played all the games rate Cold Steel below other games in series. Though people liked the latest one, Daybreak, I think.
No info about it yet that I can see.
Yeah, I think we should keep our expectations in check for this game, specially since it's first game by this studio.
Though, I looked up the studio, and apparently it was formed in 2016, and has over 120 AAA industry veterans. This is from the IGN article in 2020 when Bandai Namco bought the studio, a little after this game was first shown.
Interesting points. I agree with most of them, specially about locking third party games by just paying some tiny amount.
Unfortunately, as long as they keep making money from these things, they will keep doing as they are doing right now.
Heh, I was just having the same conversation with @AlexanderTheGreat@lemmy.world , on whether the exclusives are good or not, and if the platforms can survive without them. And if we remove exclusives what could be the differentiating factor between different platforms.
One possible way they can compete (after removing exclusives) could be on value added services and hardware. For instance, how Xbox was first to launch achievements, or making the store super accessible, like Steam, or something like what Nintendo did with Switch. There are also things like Gamepass, or XCloud.
Would love to hear your thoughts on that. Unfortunately, these kind of discussions tend to descend into chaos if done in public, otherwise we could have a proper thread to discuss the possibilities. 😀
I try to ignore the rumours and leaks (specially after seeing leaks of Switch 2 for last 5 years), though I did hear that there were plan to release more games on PS, but after seeing the reaction they reduced it to just 4 games, but who knows.
Disclaimer: By hear, I don't mean personally, just somewhere online.
Ahan, that sounds interesting. I am not a big fan of original Doom, but it can be worth a try.
Interesting. Thanks for the review scores!
Cool, thanks for the info!
I have never played the first one, how did you like it?
