Re: Steelrising, GreedFall PS5 Dev Spiders Is Reportedly Soon to Close

This makes sense. They really ran their course and made often less than mediocre games. Bound by Flames and The Technomancer were real stoinkers, Greedfall was the "potential" of the studio (still mostly bad though), and Steelrising was easily the most competently made game of theirs but also the most contained. Never got to the Greedfall sequel but it reviewed worth than the first? No thanks. They made games that a studio would just show up and make and never make another except they made 5. With a hurting Nacon, these guys are the obvious cut.

Re: Horror Hit Iron Lung Gets a PS5 Launch Trailer, But It's Been Available for Months

@anoyonmus While those are awesome numbers for a self-financed production with a tiny budget like 3 million, it's the norm for almost everything out of Blumhouse. It's basically their mantra. Spend 5 million; make 25-50. I think I heard Mark is profit sharing, too, which is baller and rare. The numbers just aren't interesting on their own in the context of filmmaking. While I would guess good press junkets for the buzz, I would also guess that to translate into volume, but it's performing like a marketingless Blumhouse release. It's a weird film/perception I think.

Re: Best Co-Op Games on PS Plus

MonkeyGibs

It Takes Two isn't a better co-op game than Wo Long, Destiny, Sackboy, Granblue, Shredder's Revenge, Far Cry 6, or Human Fall Flat. That's such a crazy claim😂

Re: 'Everything Will Be Made by Humans': Expedition 33 Dev Says No More AI After Post-Awards Heat

MonkeyGibs

Here I was thinking, "what a great use of AI, as a disstilled mood board for whatever little detail." Wait until people hear about literally every movie being made of this vibe from this movie, this action from this movie, and scene from this movie. Didn't a PNG of Assassin's Creed 4 make it's way in Uncharted 4 at release? Where's the hysteria around that? Plagiarism is sort of worse than lazy creation(or maybe not), that is if you wanna call it that. Sounds like this Expedition stuff didn't even make it in the final game. How are people not talking at the same level about this game not being an indie game more importantly. It wasn't published by Sandfall and no way has the spirit of an indie game. When the time comes, I fully expect CDPR's next game to get the same indie praise.
