In typical Sony fashion it will be half assed and over priced.
Microsoft caught onto something very clever. The average across the industry is about 1.5 games per person per year. So if you get the price of two games in a sub you can bring in a higher income stream.
GPU is such amazing value.
some more information on the proposed plans.
Activision is truly the lowest of the low:
A company that just looks worse and worse with each passing day… and they were always pretty damn bad.
Yeah, proper scumbags.
Industry really seems to be going through a "who's the biggest scumbag" phase.
It's Activision.
I suppose if you gotta sack a bunch of people before Christmas, best done when everyone's looking instead at the rampant abuse allegations?
They just don't care as long as people are buying their games and warzone is still massive
Activision won't care until it hits their bottom line.
Oh, I see we're doing the whole, "fire bad, tree pretty" thing again. 😴
Wha?
I was afraid to ask in case it's some young person thing that we are all supposed to know.
It seems to be a Buffy reference.
“Buffy: My brain isn't really functioning on the higher levels. It's pretty much fire: bad, tree: pretty.”
So no, the context doesn’t clear anything up either.
Aw now i gotta go rewatch every season of Buffy, followed by Angel.
More on the Activision situation;
Biggest surprise about that story is that Activision have 40 QA testers.
Someone has to test the payment systems to make sure micro-transactions can be bought.
Couldn't find it via the PS5 store, but got it through the above. Downloading now, and it better not ruin the film!
Edit: 25Gb!!!
Ubisoft now selling NFTs
Another good reason to avoid Ubisoft, although their games tend to make a good argument for avoiding them anyway 😎
Totally misread the pre-download part... thought I just wasted bandwidth for a 25gb countdown clock...
Looks like there'll be a trailer for the Halo TV series at TGA. Can't say I've been following its development too closely.

wait you cant preload the halo infinite campaign?
feck
its over 40gigs and internet in my new place is pretty subpar
Easy way to fix this, have seperate launchers for the MP and campaign. It's not like ith hasn't been done with other games, Doom Eternal had seperate launchers initially for Battle Mode and Campaign.
Seeing as you'll need to download the MP part of it anyway, just kick that off now, and when it's complete you'll only need to download the SP part, which will be about 30GB.
Wait I thought Halo was out today? I just loaded it up and it only gave me the option of pre-ordering the campaign.
It's out at 6pm apparently.
Like most games, we're tied an American release time! 10am PST or 6pm GMT for us.
