Veev is a brand new games comparison site, hoping to add a bit of polish to the scruffy world of games comparison sites. But is it really worth your time?
We’ve all dreamt about strangling the meerkats from the Compare The Market adverts. But we have to admit those adverts worked, they stayed in our heads forever and it took copious amounts of alcohol to cleanse the brain of the thought of meerkats. What those annoying meerkats did is push the idea of comparison sites into the consciousness of the British public.
Now we have a comparison sites for everything: insurance, broadband, holidays and even video games. Veev are newcomers to the video games comparison game, their USP? A prettier interface. Right…
If you look at the competition there are plenty of sites with… personality. You’ve got the likes of Game Crawler and Game Compare, who offer the best deals from various websites, but the interfaces can be quite laggy and overall annoying.
At the moment Veev only caters to current generation players. So if you have a well specced PC, PS4 or Xbox One, Veev is compatible with you. The titles on offer are limited, seemingly only titles released in the past couple of months get a mention.
At the moment it seems Veev is quite lacklustre, sure it looks better than the competition but a video games comparison site really needs a vast library of titles. Previous generation titles are non-existent, and that’s pretty poor. We reached out to Veev to ask whether there will be plans to bring titles from previous generations to the service.
“We’re very much at the start of our journey but we have big plans for the future. In time we will add all titles across all platforms as well as consoles, gaming accessories and VR equipment.
“We’re also building a whole bunch of features to help our customers get the best price for whatever it is that they need in the world of gaming” said a representative of Veev.
The video games industry is a billion dollar industry from humble beginnings in dark dank arcades. Now we see games with budgets that dwarf motion pictures. Legendary games designer Hideo Kojima is rumoured to have spent $80 million on his last title, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. The games industry as a whole is expected to grow to $11.6 billion by 2019, according to the UKIE.
If you want to hunt down an old copy of Dark Souls, you’ll have to look elsewhere. In the mean time you can check out the pretty but lacking in personality website, here.
