The resolution during Performance mode will be a 2160p output resolution and a 1728p rendering resolution on PS5 and Xbox Series X, while the Xbox Series S will feature a 2160p output resolution and a 1440p rendering resolution. Similarly, Steam will allow for variable results depending on the PC specifications.

Graphics Mode will focus on higher fidelity at 2160p rendering and output resolutions on both PS5 and Xbox Series X. The Xbox Series S will stay at a 2160p output and a 1440p rendering resolution. Specs for the Steam version's Graphic Mode prioritization will depend on the PC build.

This update follows a number of recent updates to the game including one on October 4, 2024 that fixed some small bugs, and one on September 17, 2024 which added a number of quality of life features, new gear in the Sovran's Armor, additional idle animations for the player and NPCs in various situations, and a Casual Mode difficulty.

Bandai Namco joins a number of game industry companies that have begun canceling games and firing staff in recent months. In a report by Bloomberg, Bandai Namco has begun to fire 200 of its 1,300 employees, with 100 resigning so far. [Thanks, Bloomberg!]

Firing began in April of 2024, following the cancellations of numerous internal Bandai Namco projects. A special note was taken of the cancellations and shifting away from mobile and PC projects. During the Summer of 2024 Bandai Namco shuttered the smartphone entry in the Tales of series Tales of the Rays and has already made plans to close out Blue Protocol in January of 2025.

Development on other titles has also been slowed, paused, or in some cases outright canceled. This includes titles based on the Naruto and One Piece IPs being cancelled or shelved indefinitely, according to Bloomberg. In addition, a title commissioned by Nintendo has also been put on ice, according to this same report.

Bandai Namco is not the first studio to announce steps back from live-service and mobile games. Square Enix announced the shut downs of several of its mobile titles, including Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia, NieR Reincarnation, and Final Fantasy Brave Exvius during the course of 2024. In addition, layoffs and employee firings have continued to hit across Western game development studios, including the likes Bungie, Activision Blizzard, and SEGA of America.

At this time, there is no information about what this means for the studios underneath Bandai Namco's umbrella or what could happen to other games currently in development.

Internet Retailer Amazon dropped the price of all console copies of hit mech action game Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. The price has gone down to $39.99 for every version, including the disc versions for the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X.

The sale is exclusive to the physical copies of the game available for consoles, and it is currently offered only through Amazon. The normal retail price for the game is $59.99, so this deal shaves off a good third of the cost for those who want to play the game on their console, rather than a PC. As of this announcement, the game is currently not on sale on Steam or other digital storefronts of any kind. However, for players who have been waiting to get their hands on the game, this is a nice opportunity.

This sale follows announcements of new model kits from Kotobukiya of famous Armored Cores from the series' history, as well as Armored Core getting its own entry in the video-game themed short film collection Secret Level, alongside Mega Man, Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer 40,000 and Concord. Armored Core VI also received an update early in 2024, adding new weapons and parts for the Armored Cores and a ranked PVP game mode.

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X. There's no word yet on when the sale will end on Amazon.

When Jim Ryan departed his role as CEO of Sony, he left behind him an intense commitment to Live-Service games. Most of them have not panned out. in production games from studios like Guerilla and Naughty Dog have been in development for some time. The purchase of Bungie signified a tilt by Sony towards leaning into the Live-service market. It has not, from what I can see, paid off.

Naughty Dog's The Last of Us Online was canceled in December of 2023, and many of Sony's other projects either have had no updates or were similarly shut down, namely the most recent release: Concord. Sony is not the only studio and publisher leaning into the Live-Service system, of course. Capcom has also made forays into it, testing the waters with things like Monster Hunter World's time-limited event quests, daily login bonuses, and seasonal events, a first in the series. Their biggest push, Exoprimal, ended its updates after 4 seasons, nowhere near the 10-year plan many of these types of games are pushing for. But Exoprimal and Monster Hunter World at least get to stay playable. The hype for Monster Hunter Wilds understandably has drawn many players back along the Return to World campaign. Many games are much less lucky.

Square Enix's bevy of live service offerings, including mobile games and the Splatoon-adjacent party shooter Foamstars have suffered their own closures and shut downs. On April 29, 2024 Nier Reincarnation closed its doors after ending its story. A story that no one will be able to experience outside of YouTube videos as there are no plans for an offline version of the game. Following that, Square Enix announced that the global version of Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius will be shutting down in October 2024, taking its collaborations with the likes of popstar Ariana Grande and Lara Croft of Tomb Raider with it, unless you can download and play the Japanese version. Foamstars also is no longer retailing for its $29.99 price tag starting October 4, 2024, shifting to a free to play model entirely.

There have been many incidents in the past year alone of Live-Service games failing to either find their audiences or not doing anywhere near the amount of success that they were intended for. Destiny 2 released a highly acclaimed expansion in The Final Shape, the culmination to a 10 year long story arc that had begun all the way back in Destiny when it first released. All that critical acclaim did nothing to shield the workers at Bungie from layoffs that occurred in October 2023, before the expansion launched, and in July 2024, just after the beginning of the first big story arc of the new year plan for Destiny’s world going forward. 

The thing this is bringing to mind for me is, how tenuous it all is. Entire games could, either for reasons of losing staff and being unable to meet the previous standards or complete shutdown of the game itself, disappear entirely, vanishing from people’s consoles and phones and computers like dust in the wind. Years of people’s lives suddenly vanishing into nothing. It feels like such a phenomenal waste; both of people’s time and hard work, and money. 

Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia shut down in February 2024. A mobile game centered around a celebration of Final Fantasy’s history, a la the previous Dissidia games, featuring characters beloved and obscure. One story chapter could be about Judge Gabranth from Final Fantasy XII bonding with Gau, the wild child from Final Fantasy VI. Another would be Aerith talking in person to Kadaj, the Sephiroth clone from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, and trying to get him to be his own individual self. None of this excellent character interaction (in my opinion at least) or its turn-based turn manipulation JRPG gameplay saved it.

The Global version never even got to read all the story content released in the original Japanese version. The servers were separated by about a 6-8 month delay so global server players got a glimpse of what was coming, and in this case, what they would never see. I do not know the reason for the closure of Opera Omnia and I may never. It could have been anything from not quite being profitable enough for Square Enix or simply not having any where for the game to go. For all my praise, it is me mourning the death of a gacha game. I spent money on this game. And now, everything I spent it on is gone, lost to the digital abyss. Thankfully, they have stated that all of the conversations and cutscenes from the game will be preserved on the official Square Enix YouTube Channel, but who knows how long that will remain.

This is a fate that awaits any and all of these mobile games, or digital experiences with monetization. People can spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to get a single character or an outfit or a piece of gear (Apex Legends’ extremely costly and grind-heavy heirlooms come to mind) and then as soon as you get it, you could get an announcement saying as much as “Sorry, all your effort and investment is gone. We’re shutting down the servers in two days.”

All this can happen to a game you like or a game you don't. Things you love can go belly up in different ways than just shutting down. In chasing the money of these kinds of Live-service endeavors, their identity can be compromised in favor of more cosmetic real-money transactions, battle passes where you have to pay money to get the full rewards, or even just by trying to make it so as many people as possible play it, trying to please everyone and ending up pleasing no one, or at least no longer pleasing me, in the case of Destiny 2.

I watched the game prioritize doing repetitive missions and extremely mind numbing collection activities. Progressing seasonal storylines and leveling up the season experience was simply centered around doing the same activity on higher or lower difficulties, hearing the same voice lines, over and over and over. And, to add salt on the wound, Bungie announced that they would be reviving their single player sci-fi first-person shooter series Marathon as, of all things, an extraction shooter.

It’s enough to start driving away even the most die hard players when they feel that everything they're doing or looking forward to is not a priority in the industry at large. It's made even worse when any sort of challenge reward is nothing more than a funny little label to hang over your character, or an in-game weapon that will be outclassed in a couple months anyway. Power creep, feature creep, attention creep all factor in. After all, when you have one game that already takes daily job-like clocking in and clocking out, where are people who have other, real-life responsibilities going to fit in your new time sink ritual game? People stick with what works.

The success of something like Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Elden Ring and its DLC, and smaller projects that sweep the awards every year, like a Signalis or Dave the Diver shows that there is good money to be made in things that don’t feel like they are trying to nickel and dime every person who interacts with them. It’s on publishers to realize that.
