Re: Opinion: This PS5 Magic Shooter Has Been the Perfect Summer Distraction

Heretic and Hexen were magical first person shooters and those still have a massive cult following. There has always been an audience for this kind of thing. I quite liked it myself other than the quippy Marvel writing being eye rolling occasionally and the game being somewhat unoptimized on PC (one of those games that was obviously optimized for console primarily). You can typically get it on sale for quite cheap too, I got it off Steam for just six bucks and its also on Game Pass.

That is such a simple minded view of the world, great games constantly underperform all the time for one reason or another and have nothing to do with quality. Need I remind you Microsoft committed a lot of money to fund a lot of high quality games like Hifi Rush, Pyschonauts 2, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, South of Midnight, Ori and the Blind Forest, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Doom The Dark Ages, etc. that no other AAA publisher would have ever in a million years given money to; much less that much money. Things are way more complicated that whatever black and white view of the universe you apparently conjure in your head.

Just because you made something doesnt mean you therefore have the best ideas of what works and where to take that concept in the future until the end of time. Take Gene Rodenberry for example. Created Star Trek and then made Star Trek Next Generation which at first was terrible because he kept pushing horrible (and sometimes just plain baffling) ideas. Then after he died the show got better in every conceivable way.

Re: 'No, I Won't': Kojima Rejects Playing Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake

I remember when MGSV was in development Kojima was constantly posting videos and pics of him playtesting it, he would also continously take notes about things he wishes to be edited or changed later including minor stuff so he definently plays his games during development at least not sure about others though.

Countless iconic games have seen major pivots mid development including but by no means limited to; Bioshock, Doom, Team Fortress 2, Splinter Cell, Borderlands, Conker's Bad Fur Day, The Last of Us, Half Life 2, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, Red Dead Redemption, Overwatch and Assassins Creed. Just to name a few. Games changing during development is not a bad omen for anything. It is an extremely common practice because development is about constantly trying things, ditching what doesn't work and keeping what does.

As much as Kojima's games copy films I never got the feeling any of the settings or stories he makes would work well outside of video games. The plots are so convoluted and full of weird imagery (not to mention the constant tonal whiplashes) that I just don't think it would ever sit well in live action. Animated...maybe? But even then it would be a nightmare to translate some things into a movie runtime.
