The thing that interests me is that these are both live service games. I can see how Animal Crossing: New Horizons might become its most popular game ever but Splatoon 3? I played the first one and wasn’t that impressed but this actually makes me want to go back and give the new on a go because clearly someone likes it! That’s not what Game Pass is at the moment but if it has to be remain only a mid-level success to keep it that way then I’m fine with that.Į-mail your comments to: service NintendoĪmazing to think how Nintendo has got Japan all tied up with its games. But at the same time the though in the back of my mind is that the endgame might be turning into the games equivalent of Netflix where new content is all that matters and quality isn’t even a question, it’s all just a grey sludge of mindless action and sleezy exploitation. On the one had it’s great value for money and I can’t say no to it on those grounds. I’ve always been in two minds about Game Pass. Obviously GTA 6 doesn’t need any help to be a hit but I’m sure Microsoft or Sony would’ve been happy to pay for it if that was an option. I wonder how many other big publishers feel the same way? The news that they’re not actually doing as well as we’d been led to believe and now the news that Take-Two don’t want anything to do with it. Interesting to see the tide start to turn against Game Pass and similar subscriptions in recent weeks. So good luck to Mildly Annoying Games! I’ll probably never play your games but I’m glad you’re getting to make them.

Most gamers know what happens to anyone EA buys so I’m sure anyone actually in the industry must do as well, but time and time again the owners of these studios sell them off for their own personal profit and the workers are left to suffer later. Passion is what we should be encouraging in developers and breaking away from controlling, bean-counting monsters like EA.

I really wish I liked serious racing games because Mildly Annoying Games is the best name for a game developer ever, and so British! Kudos to the boss trying get the band back together and sticking it to EA, although I guess that’s one less publisher that’s willing to work with them! Just a thought but if I’m right I demand 1% of the game’s profits! I think it’s pretty clear by now that this generation is not going to see a massive improvement in graphics, but that doesn’t mean there can’t be advances in other ways, and co-op in giant open world games is one of them.
