RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!

ME3 has sold 3.5mil+ copies thus far according to that article, and seems to partly responsible for EA turning some profit this year. Still a failure guys?

 

Shipped != sold. But those are still decent numbers, although the sell through numbers are probably quite a bit lower.

Might help the tail problem going on. But graphics are easier to market. Screenshots? Check. Videos? Check. Gameplay doesn't come across well in either, not even videos.

That is why you give out demos and on today's economy I treat every game purchase as if I was investing my money, with tons of research before I actually decide to buy a game.

And that's why the economy is in the crapper, due to people just sitting on their money, afraid to use it for even the smallest purchases. ;)

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

EU rules publishers can't stop you from reselling your digitally downloaded games. I wonder what this will mean in the long run.

 

Interesting, to say the least.

 

Edit: Oops, sorry Decaf, didn't see your post there.

Watchmen co-creator Dave Gibbons plans to make a new, original adventure game with Beneath a Steel Sky and Broken Sword developer Revolution Software, Eurogamer can reveal.

The comic book artist will be involved in the creation of the game "from the ground up", and will direct the look of it, Gibbons told Eurogamer in an exclusive interview at the GameCityNights event in Nottingham last week.

 

 

Well, this is promising.

Beneath a Steel Sky already featured Gibbon's Art.

How does reselling downloaded games even work? It seems like a terrible idea, to be honest.

Seriel keys/product ID, if I had to guess.

 

Ok, so you sell your key to someone else, how is it going to be deactivated for you?

 

Also, isn't this just going to lead to even more online DRM checks?

Because of the trailer, or because of the game? Elaborate please.

 

because of the game, of course

The article was very clear. It sold 3.5mil+ copies. Why argue with facts? L0L 'Decent' numbers. :p

It's about the principle of reselling a 'license' to a game.

So in theory you could legally sell your steam/origin account with games attached to it.

The article was misquoting it's source. The mass effect 3 has sold 3.5 million copies was a link to another article. Quoting from that:

 

"EA announced today that Mass Effect 3 shipped over 3.5 million copies in the first week of release, selling 890,000 units in the first 24 hours of North American sales alone."
