E45: Live Service


Listen Later

A lot of reports and speculation this week, but hey that's okay too.

New Nintendo Switch has been announced and it's not what we have hoped for. The new model will have a OLED screen, better kickstand, better audio and more storage. That's it! It's not totally unexpected since it's Nintendo we are talking about, but after some many rumours. It's a little disappointing.
Both the next Grand Theft Auto and Assassin's Creed will have live-service elements, in particular an ever changing world for players to be in. This is something that makes sense for GTA, especially for GTA Online. Which is super popular and it is a missed opportunity if they on't have some focus on that. But we trust that GTA will have a good, focused campaign. However, Assassin's Creed not so much. The previous AC games have been bugged down and ruined somewhat of in-game and content locked behind a paywall for a while now. And it looks like that is not going to change and only become more. Great, as if AC was not appealing already. Yikes.
Other than that, Apex Legends got hacked, Bluepoint not acquired after all and more f**king Silent Hill rumours.
