    Titanfall 3 (basically) existed but now it's gone, the Halo series is being rebooted (again) and the era of the live-service game feels like its coming to an end.

      It really speaks to the malignant arrogance of modern game companies that they won’t let people run their own servers. They’re effectively saying “you WILL play on our servers, against people WE say you’ll play against, and you won’t be able to play it in three years.”

      Not to mention it would require them to dedicate resources to handle the server side code. As little as it might be, requires to pack it to a binary or repo, creating public docs and other stuff, obviously more complex servers such as valve's that allow mods and other stuff that require more resources.
      They rather allocate those resources to make more micro transactions

    I really think there is going to be a renaissance of single player game focus. With so many live service games demanding all of your time and engagement, as a player I have to choose one, maybe two to really invest my time into and progress in. Once the player population starts to dip, my experience with the game gets worse since its balanced and monetized with a larger population in mind. Single player games are more of a safe bet since I just need the game to be fun on its own and I can determine if that alone is worth my money. I've been getting into fewer online games lately due to lack of time and I think I'm not alone in that; as more people do and investors see that more people are getting the one-time-payment, single player game, I hope there's more emphasis put on that side of the game market

      This renassiance is ongoing in the indie/AA-gaming space. Indie game devs can be laser-focused on doing 10 things or less superbly well, creating passionate, devoted, and small fan-bases. As long as indie developers (see: Supergiant) and publishers (see: Devolver Digital) keep their scope in check and remain private companies, they'll be profitable AND make great games/art.

    The 2010s will be remembered in time as the blank decade, with how many games will just disappear out of reach for preservation. We've had SO many games that are just... gone.

    • @slyseal2091

      I mean, it's generally only the always-online titles that sink entirely, which is convenient because those don't quite have the reputation of artistic or societal significance people see as the requirement for preservation. At least not in comparison to peers like the Valve games, _most_ Bethesda games, RDR1+2 and GTAV, I believe Minecraft(?) and potentially a bunch of VR games, depending on how the 2020s are gonna go for that industry.

    Titanfall always got shafted. Tf1 was an xbox/pc exlcusive, and tf2 launched right between the two biggest fps games on the planet. With the popularity of apex, you'd think tf3 would be a no brainer but alas, someone at ea/respawn doesn't think right

    • @GeoGyf
      @GeoGyf Před rokem

      Most likely EA. Basically they are thinking short term instead of the long term. Long term planning is that you have to take a hit and release a single-player Titanfall game that would never bring as much money as Apex Legends. Its budget wouldnt even have to be in the millions. Instead EA thinks developing a single Titanfall game is a waste, when Respawn could make another Apex Legends or a new IP that has microtransactions and online purchases. They are right ofcourse, but they are wrong in the long term. Because these things dont establish a franchise, they dont establish goodwill with the consumers. I understand Titanfall IP was mismanaged by EA, but still it could produce enough stuff to be viable and thus help the company as a whole. EA probably thinks any IP is not worth it if it doesnt have income as much as FIFA or Apex Legends..

    Although the side-by-side shots of The Day Before are... hilarious, I'm all for it. That's what we want, something that pays homage to the beautiful atmosphere and imagery of the games we love and package it all in an openworld zombie apocalypse (also with co-op & base building plz). At least they recreated the scenes and didn't just copy/paste them - fair enough. As for the emptiness in the world, I rather enjoyed that in games like Infestation, H1Z1, & DayZ. I thought it actually made the game more suspenseful when I was alone scavenging for an hour or two only to let my guard down and then get an adrenaline rush when I spot some players near by. I also like the minimalist UI approach. No crosshair until you ads and no clunky UI to take away for the atmosphere. At least until you open something like the crafting UI or inventory. It may only be hidden for the demo but I hope it stays like that.
    Don't know if they'll be able to deliver the game we're all hoping for or not but I like the direction it's going. Fingers crossed!
