It’s nice to know that Sony recognizes that they know people like their old franchises and are attempting to pump more money out of them by doing the old games again (vis a vis Crash Bandicoot). Still, their dragging their heels on backward compatibility again is killing their own potential. I get that they want you to have their latest and greatest, but their old stuff was their best content ever.
Microsoft figured that out, and allows for upscale and backwards compatibility. Because they blew their load on the 360.
Nintendo......needs to just give up trying to mix console and either touchscreen or mobile device. They need to get back to basics. It seems to me that they are allergic to money. Every time a great idea that their customers LOVE (vis a vis NES Classic release), they put it out, then realize they can’t keep up with demand, then stop, because they don’t want to keep making money. They think “new” means “better”.
EA......is now not the most evil game developer......so that’s an improvement.
Bethesda.....okay. You’re doing well. Nothing new to add here. Good job.
Ubisoft......we need to talk. You did great with the new Assassin’s Creed Origins. It looks fantastic. The RPG bullshit, however, needs to go. Assassin’s Creed never needed that. Period. You’re fucking up your beloved franchises one by one, Ubisoft. The hemorrhaging should’ve stopped, but you are just injecting EDTA into your blood stream, and you’re going to bleed out.
