I would love a new Spyro but the youtuber that made the video on this always throws anything at the wall and hopes it sticks so take it with a huge grain of salt.
"...and there's now an English dub for the sickos that want such a thing."
As a long time Yakuza fan, I agree lol.
But it's a shame the original was delisted cause outside of the technical improvements, this version is sadly inferior to the original 0, which is a shame cause it could've been a really cool way to revisit the game.
In my own mind, I look at how many devs are a part of the core team. Sure E33 had a lot of contractors and part-time workers working on the game but they still had a core team of around 30 or so devs. Same with Team Cherry, they have a core team of 3 but they obviously had some outside help as well.
When it comes to budget, Kickstarter games that generate millions of dollars during their campaign are still indie games.
I don't know if I like the idea of taking away a game's indie status just cause they have a publisher, cause that would discredit every game that Devolver Digital publishes for.
I agree with Sammy's comment, this whole thing is going to follow Larian through the entire development cycle of this game now, regardless of how much ai they used while creating it. I guess we'll see what happens down the line.
I like to imagine the survivor series is Lara at the start of her career and the PS1-PS2 games are a continuation of that along with the new game. But it is cool to have that classic Lara back where she has that calm, cool and collective-ness about her.
Honestly it's good to see they're feeling the pressure of low sales and player numbers, it means they have to do something to evolve the series or else it's just going to keep hurting their bottom line.
1. Hollow Knight Silksong 2. Elden Ring Nightreign 3. Expedition 33 4. MH Wilds 5. Doom Dark Ages
I'm waiting for Death Stranding 2 and Yotei to come to PC, I have KCD2 installed and waiting to be played, AC Shadows was fun, AI Limit and Khazan were great, Cronos and Dying Light Beast are on the backlog, Pipstrello was fantastic. That's off the top of my head at the moment lol.
I have always loved Blizz's cinematic department. Their work is so good and has been for years, I adore all of their stuff, especially the WoW and Overwatch cinematic. Chefs kiss.
Okay enough glazing, I only ever played Diablo 2 and 3 but I wouldn't mind trying 4 out someday.
As someone that enjoys the campaign for Titanfall, this game ain't it. It looks super bland. Granted this does look better then Concord, but not by much.
Anyways, I feel Expedition 33 will definitely win GotY and a majority of the awards it's nominated for. I've been playing it and the game is really good.
Well hopefully the devs won't lose their jobs over this.
Also, how daft does a person have to be to make a billion dollar purchase and be like "wait, there's a whole division that does something I didn't know about?".

I legit forgot Atomfall released this year and I'm surprised it popped up on the list. Quite a few contenders present here for sure.
Re: Game of the Year: #8 - Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Re: New Spyro Game Hopium Builds as Ex-Toys for Bob Artist Reinforces Rumours
I would love a new Spyro but the youtuber that made the video on this always throws anything at the wall and hopes it sticks so take it with a huge grain of salt.
Re: 'Everything Will Be Made by Humans': Expedition 33 Dev Says No More AI After Post-Awards Heat
I'm playing through the game and you can tell everything was crafted by artists, it's apparent by their style.

Re: Talking Point: With Expedition 33 Winning Best Indie Game, What Does 'Indie' Mean to You?
In my own mind, I look at how many devs are a part of the core team. Sure E33 had a lot of contractors and part-time workers working on the game but they still had a core team of around 30 or so devs. Same with Team Cherry, they have a core team of 3 but they obviously had some outside help as well.

I don't know if I like the idea of taking away a game's indie status just cause they have a publisher, cause that would discredit every game that Devolver Digital publishes for.
Just my two cents on the matter.
Re: Divinity Dev's Comments on Generative AI Trigger a Total Social Media Sh*tstorm

Re: 'How Do We Help Her Evolve?': Crystal Dynamics on Reimagining Tomb Raider's Lara Croft for a New Era
I like to imagine the survivor series is Lara at the start of her career and the PS1-PS2 games are a continuation of that along with the new game. But it is cool to have that classic Lara back where she has that calm, cool and collective-ness about her.

Re: 'These Claims Are Not Accurate': Activision Denies Complete Call of Duty Rethink After Sluggish Black Ops 7 Sales

I thought she sounded really good in the trailer, she does a great job on voicing a more experienced Lara, similar to the og games.
Re: Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic Director Rubbishes 2030 Release Date Claims
With how long game development takes, and the fact the studio was just formed, there's no way this game releases under 5 years.

Re: Free-to-Play FPS Highguard Closes Out The Game Awards, Coming to PS5 on 26th January
As someone that enjoys the campaign for Titanfall, this game ain't it. It looks super bland. Granted this does look better then Concord, but not by much.

Re: Rumour: Mystery Game Awards Reveal May Be a New Divinity RPG, as Original Sin 2 PS5 Port Leaks
