Specific cell providers or provider? I wonder what Boost Mobile and Metro will be getting.

Nitrowolf21356d ago

Verizon and Virgin Mobile has their own set of skins, not sure if anyone else

morganfell1356d ago

They get the rap video that Grey Hulk is doing. Some of those skins are nothing about which to be jealous.

neomahi1356d ago

Hm. Well, as opposed to the Spider-man content on Sony hardware, all of these skins are TIMED exclusives. Once Square decides they wanna make money, when this has expired, they're make it available to all, just not at initial start. Anyone who has a brain knows this. It's marketing and building hype and demand, and then cashing out in the end when you've exhausted all your options, you can see it coming a mile away. Don't people, in time--if you're still playing the game-- it'll happen. Spider-Man, however, will not because Sony owns the rights, unless once they've made their money off of the exclusivity benefiting their platform at first and want to branch out and make more money, then it could happen. This is why timed exclusive content sucks, it's a tease just to piss consumers off for a little extra money. It's either exclusive or it isn't, don't tease us with the possibility it could come later, because by then it's lost it's affect and is old news and new content has come out. I hate timed exclusive content. But, fans will eventually get nearly all of it in time, it's the nature of the game industry, and it sucks.

excaliburps1356d ago

Yep. I agree. Not that big of a deal for me. I don't like it, but it's just skins and these usually are given away as free after a specific period of time.

gamer78041356d ago

I’m not really impressed with the additional outfits I. This game it’s basically color swap with maybe 2 different costumes... hope they add more

SegaGamer1356d ago

All of this fuss over a game that doesn't even look that good.

-Foxtrot1356d ago

Yeah, I mean if it was something like Cyberpunk or something I'd understand but this didn't really all look that amazing from the start.

We knew this type of game was going to do these types of things and that's the just start, MT's and the like will be next.

The_Sage1356d ago

Uh... But based on the gameplay I've seen thus far, Cyberpunk doesn't look that great either. I really want to really want Cyberpunk, but I keep getting let down.

RememberThe3571355d ago

Why do you want to like something you clearly don't like? Cyberpunk looks fkn dope to me so I want it. I don't like TLOU2, but for literally none of the reason I've seen people complain about. We all have taste and you damn sure don't need to like something that just doesn't resonate with you.

KingKionic 1356d ago

Absolutely ridiculous.

this needs to scrapped immediately.

The_Sage1356d ago

I can't help but think colonic when I see your name. I'm not trying to be insulting, just a funny fact.

Spenok1355d ago

...wut?

Thats an absurd claim/request. 🤣

TheGamer writes, "It feels like live service history repeating itself right now, but it's not too late to change that."

I’m so ready for Suicide Squad to fill the Avengers void in my life

Marvel’s Avengers didn’t soar properly on PS5 and Xbox, but Kill the Justice League looks like it will improve on it in every way.

I can’t work out if this guy is just being sarcastic

Leeroyw92d ago

This website pumps out one shill article after the other. Does not qualify as journalism.

ShwaaMan92d ago

Said the guy who just got a big check from WB.

YourMommySpoils92d ago

Does that mean it will have a thousand pointless costumes like Avengers did, not related to the game or source?

coolbeans92d ago

"Guy who's excited for Suicide Squad to fill the void left by The Avengers' closure."

Traecy92d ago

I'll be checking it out on day one of release.

Why Have Many of the Online Multiplayer Games of the Past Five Years Failed?

Here's a look at why so many online-multiplayer games from the past five years have struggled to retain players and their attention.

ChasterMies194d ago

Or put another way, why don’t people want to invest in an on-line storefront?

sparky77194d ago

It's simply FOMO.

Gamers always go back to their staples like COD or Fortnite. Those games have constant content and leaving them for another game means getting left behind. Why start a new game and be behind when you can stay with a game you already excel at.

Number1TailzFan194d ago (Edited 194d ago )

COD is replaced every year or almost every year, it has no time to hold a player base. 3-4 years is a good timeline for a sequel IMO if the game has enough content to begin with, maybe add a couple of free content updates a bit later after release if needed, and job done until the next game.

Soldier of Fortune 2 was one of my first few online FPS games apart from RTCW and a couple of others, and that had a couple of free patches which added in new weapons, maps and a new game mode in just a year or so. I hope the series makes a comeback, I heard MS owns it now and it has been dormant for a while.

The only sequel that came fast (just 1 year later) that impressed me with extra content over the original was L4D2, makes me wonder what happened with Valve. If they can do that in one year then what have they been doing since..

-Foxtrot194d ago (Edited 194d ago )

Because it's not about putting out a fully completed game packed with content and something that actually works

It's about putting something out broken and barebones, slowly drip feed content with a roadmap and offering tons of MTs which they hope people will buy.

I miss when you'd just get games like Killzone or Halo and they'd get a couple of DLC packs then the developers would move onto the next game. Problem is they started to be influenced by COD where future games had to have gimmicks, weapon mods, loadouts, killstreaks and other shit which just become about what you had unlocked rather than skill.

The last multiplayer game I really enjoyed was Uncharted 2s, it was literally just two boosters and everyone started with the same weapons. It was great and felt like it was more about skill but then we got Uncharted 3 and 4 where the COD influence creeped in thinking that everything had to be bigger rather than sticking to the fanbase they had.

Nitrowolf2194d ago

i agree. i used to love MP games for these titles, and be excited about the map packs and such. now it's we will release one mode and one map, and see how people take to the game. Flops? cool move on.

isarai194d ago

Even before the PS3 generation ended, I was already longing for a return to simplistic MP without all the XP, booster, perks, and ridiculous custom loadouts full of op exploitation. Like there's definitely a huge audience for that, but there's NO classic style simple MP modes anymore, I'm just asking for some

ZeekQuattro194d ago

Most people don't have the time to invest into playing multiple GAAS and stick to just one. It also doesn't help that so many games in that field only have a roadmap laid out for the first month or so. Hard to keep people invested when you don't give them a reason to stick around after the initial launch month.

excaliburps193d ago

Yep. I know what you mean. I can't play more than 1-2 live service games at a time (this includes shooters) since it's just so overwhelming.

shinoff2183194d ago (Edited 194d ago )

My theory , well online gaming just sucks, so many online games recently that if done the right way could've been dope ass single player games. One that comes to mind evil dead. What a waste of the title
