Yeah it's pretty good. I've missed rentals. And these have more value and convenience.
This is what I wanted you to clarify, what do you mean "go their own way"? What ideas did you have in mind? Not releasing their game on +120 million selling platforms?
That analogy doesn't work, theater subscription services is one that does work, but they're still subs for watching movies in theater, same story with consoles, they're subs that have to run on consoles. Blockbuster movies need theatrical releases, blockbuster games need consoles to survive. There is no way in hell they would drop a +120M install base so I really wonder what your idea is of "cutting the middle men".
I think second screen and remote activity is something companies and players are sleeping on. I genuinely think, if companies can get a device like the Oculus go to a high enough fidelity and either streaming with low enough compression/lag. Or just simply connect locally to a device with cable or better local high speed networks for transmission. We could see VR headset picked up for none other than remote/viewing play in a high quality headset. The controller/view could also be used to play some PC games with a virtual mouse. Or controller for others.
No, the Switch has totally spoiled me on being able to drag my games around the house, even if the GF is watching television in the same room. I really want remote streaming to go more mainstream. I've tried to Mickey Mouse the PS4 remote app onto my non-Xperia phone with no luck.
I wish Sony didn't stop supporting remote play on other devices. I would have loved to have been able to play something like Persona 5 on my tablet. I'd definitely have been finished with the game by now if I could have. I'm still chipping away at it in little chunks between other games. But it's a really conducive title to remote/handheld play.
Well I actually feel it makes a lot of sense considering EA will have a presence tomorrow with Battlefield V... Why don't you think it's happening?
Yes i hope MS or sony announce ea access premier on their console. Why wouldnt it be on xbox? The normal ea access already is. I really hope its on one of these consoles.
Early access if you bought the game, or a trial if you didn't. This is full (i.e. no trials) early access to all new EA games, no purchase required.
Origin Access takes a good 6-12 months to put games into the vault, if you're fine with waiting then Origin Access is more than great for you, but lots of people (including me) are willing to dish out an extra $70 to play day one.
It means you get the deluxe or whatever edition that comes with all the bonus and dlcs...including any future paid dlcs so long as you own the pass.
I wonder if this means they'll start delaying titles coming to EA Access.
It is tbh, you never own these games if you unsub. You can buy EA games for around 30 euro on key sites when they come out
I know people that buy every Fifa every year + their yearly Battlefield. I think we can assume that is the target audience here back in my mind.
true, but you shouldn't underestimate that this gives you the maximum available edition as well. so season pass, all dlc etc...
