Seems like a lot of it is Twitch interactive...

looks up twitch company owner
it's amazon

...How should I be surprised?

all 3 of them games sound not just exactly the same as each other but also just terrible!

Crucible sounds like Hunger Games.
New World sounds like Minecraft

Breakaway is Overwatch minus two players on each team.

These games might become semi-popular on Twitch, but I don't see them overshadowing any of the games that inspired them.

I love how everyone is calling these derivative of other games...EVERY GAME IS BASED ON ANOTHER GAME THESE DAYS. I for one want to see more info before I bash these games

Amazon are a major player in every sector they decide to step into and are prepared to drop huge amounts of money to secure a market share. I wouldn't be surprised to see them develop their own Amazon Fire console in the near future even if its a simple android based set top box.

Growth in the gaming industry = bad thing though apparently according to GBAtemp members.

I think it's fantastic that amazon is getting into the gaming market. I feel like if they really invest in this they will take the competitive market by storm.

They already have something similar it seems.

They even struck a deal with Yacht club games to include shovel knight with the console (and duck tales: remastered).
There's no question Amazon wants to dive into the gaming industry pretty bad.

All i wanna say is... WTF?

This is an interesting turn of events. I won't mind seeing more companies getting into the gaming market. Getting tired of seeing the Big 3.

Never order something from amazon because they don't ship to pakistan.

well than they better come up with better games instead of a team fortress, moba and minecraft clones!

I think it's time to taste a MOBA entirely designed and developed by Amazon, which is called "UNDERWATCH" XD

Arras · Sep 30, 2016

Breakaway sounds like another MOBA, though I guess it could be interesting if done right. The descriptions of the other two just remind me of all those multiplayer survival games, like DayZ and ARK.

LightyKD · Sep 30, 2016

Amazon has has a games division since the first Fire TV was released. I know most of you despise mobile gaming so that news probably flew over your heads. What I want to know is this. Will these games be PC games or Fire TV games?

The game is about anime waifus fighting on their underwear xD
Amazon shut up and take my money! :rofl2:

They are doing pretty well at their TV/streaming thing and have made some decent stuff thus far. Equally they do have a quasi game console thing

Odd review to link I know but some of the points he makes seem to not be as considered among this crowd as they probably should be.

I am curious to see what they do here. I am not expecting to have sony, sega (if I am doing older stuff), nintendo, amazon and microsoft in lists but I can see them nibbling a bit of Nintendo's share and if the others are streaming boxes what also happen to do fifa then them too.

It's not the originality of the story, but how it's told.

Well, originality is bonus points. But really, an old story told exceedingly well is still a story told exceedignly well. We'll see if amazon can make it great rather than generic when they come out.

Zeriel · Sep 30, 2016

I just want to play Good games, as long as they're good and they don't fuck us over with Micro transactions and BS trailers/lying to us, I think this is good for the industry.
We don't want everything owned by EA and Activision 20 years from now. *Shudders*
