Opinion: The PS5 Reveal Has Put All the Pressure Back on Microsoft

-
Sony went all-in with this week’s PlayStation 5 Reveal event, choosing to push all of its chips into the center of the table on one hand rather than make more frequent smaller bets, as Microsoft has (mostly successfully) done so far. But, perhaps knowing it had a great hand – it certainly helps that you’re the market leader by a sales factor of two over your competitors, meaning you have a much higher margin for error – it waited. And when the time finally came, Sony played its hand beautifully – it was also the most-watched gaming stream in YouTube’s history – erasing much of Microsoft’s hard-earned Xbox Series X momentum in one fell swoop. So the question for Team Xbox becomes, “Now what?” Winning the price battle would be a good start. Unlike in the matchup between the Xbox One and the PS4, the general consensus in the developer community thus far seems to be that the Xbox Series X will have more overall power than the PS5 and thus be able to run in higher resolutions and at high

Activision Blizzard Charged $35 Million By the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

Activision Blizzard has been charged $35 million by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for "failing to maintain disclosure controls related to complaints of workplace misconduct and violating whistleblower protection rule." The SEC shared the news in a press release, stating Activision Blizzard agreed to pay the $35 million to settle its violations, and the charges stemmed from issues dating back to 2016. "According to the SEC’s order, between 2018 and 2021, Activision Blizzard was aware that its ability to attract, retain, and motivate employees was a particularly important risk in its business, but it lacked controls and procedures among its separate business units to collect and analyze employee complaints of workplace misconduct," The SEC wrote. Between 2016 and 2021, the SEC stated Activision Blizzard also "executed separation agreements in the ordinary course of its business that violated a Commission whistleblower protection rule by

EA Sports FC 24 on Nintendo Switch Will Use Frostbite Engine for First Time

-

EA Sports FC 24 on Nintendo Switch will run on the Frostbite Engine for the first time, meaning EA isn't just releasing a rebranded version of FIFA 19 again this year.

Following the game's full reveal on July 13, Nintendo revealed the rebranded FIFA will finally move Switch players along from the years of essentially reskinned Legacy Editions.

The Frostbite Engine promises to bring "immersive detail" to the Switch version of FC 24, especially when paired with the game's new PlayStyles technology that "heightens the realism and individuality of each player".

Switch players will also get to fully enjoy what's easily FIFA's (and now, presumably, FC's) most popular mode in Ultimate Team, where players can develop their own teams of football legends, now including both men and women. Previous FIFA games on Switch included just a limited version of this mode.

These updates are a stark difference to EA's prior treatment of the Switch versions of its premier football franchise. As illustrated in IGN's reviews of these games, we awarded the original FIFA 19 a 5/10, and it's on this foundation that EA released the rest of its Switch offerings.

FIFA 20 (which we said offers "nothing but a barebones roster update") earned a 4/10, while FIFA 21, FIFA 22, and FIFA 23 earned just a 2/10 each. The final entry is "a prime example of minimal effort for maximum profit", we said in our review.

Editor's Note: A previous version of this article said EA Sports FC 24 on Switch would include Ultimate Team for the first time, instead of the full version of Ultimate Team for the first time. IGN has corrected this and regrets the error.
