Re: Naughty Dog Forces Crunch to Get PS5 Exclusive Intergalactic 'Back on Track' for Mid 2027 Release

StitchJones

When it comes to crunch in game development I don't wanna hear sh**. I'm a former restaurant worker of 30yrs. Used to work 70 to 80hours a week. Manning a 6 burner sauté station, that had a 400 degree oven below and a salamander (broiler) head level, all blasting on me for every one of those hours. Not to mention all the other equipment that made the kitchen reach 110 in the summer time. So....hitting a deadline for a game demo would be like paradise compared

Re: 2016's The Division Now Runs Smoother Than Ever on PS5

for my money Division 2 craps all over ARC raiders and most shooter games as a service. Its probably a very long ways off, but I would love Division 3 to be a ps6 launch window title. I hammered division2 for countless hours. I'm done lol. So a brand new one would be bangin

Re: 'If I Don't Belong in the Games Industry, I'll Have to Look Elsewhere': Keita Takashashi Moves Back to Japan After To a T Flopped

I try to have respect for most game dev's unless they are lazy and don't fix their broken games months after release (looking at you Borderlands 4 and Oblivion remaster), or they are too lazy to upgrade their game engines 3 gens in a row (cough, team ninja, cough).

So I respect what this man decided to do with this To a t game, but in reality after watching the trailer, lets be honest, nobody should be surprised this game flopped.

I want this to be my Halloween game in October. But I have no clue if I'll be able to not get this day1. haha @Stragen8 man i still remember a bud at my job way back when, said he was playing this new thing called resident evil on ps1. Alot of gamers at that job, so we all had water cooler moments. So I bought it and it was amazing. Nostalgia there man. RE1 hit with the games industry kind of like how mortal kombat and GTA3 did. Maybe not as huge, but still a pivotal moment in gaming

Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Year 2025

Oblivion remastered was put out long enough ago to make this list. It populates this list right now and still hasn't been patched, therefore is still a broken mess. So I ask, why is it on this list???

Borderlands 4 too. The game shipped with a memory leak months ago that still isn't patched. hahaha

The GA's need to start 2 new categories for awards "least broken mess at release" award. And "most broken release" award.

Re: Expedition 33 Breaks the Game Awards Record for Most Gongs in a Single Show

@StylesT well said, and I obv agree 100%. Again, the art direction and atmosphere I thought were fantastic. It was a great game, but not generational as we already stated. I excluded this point from my last post because it was getting too long, so I'll add this here.

I think it was also opportunistic this year. Death Stranding 2 on every level was a superior game. If that was not a sequel and was the 1st entry in the DS universe, then we might be having a different conversation. Because as epic as DS2 was, most people who loved it still admit it was a pretty safe sequel and just more DS. Which was an awesome thing, but still.

Yotei to me is far superior to 33 as well. But Yotei is also a very safe sequel as epic as it is. So safe that it didnt even get nominated for GOTY. Silksong, great game but just more HK. Donkey kong? Idk how it made the list over Yotei. But its nintendo and they get glazed hard and everyone needs to throw them a bone because they take 10yrs in between their samey exclusives. whatever......

Also, we live in the day and age that everyone needs to glaze stuff they like, esp in gaming. And esp in gaming where the team who built an epic game is small in scale. They have to love that game above and beyond because they love the studio. Same reason ARC raiders gets so freakin glazed online, it's sickening.

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Game Awards 2025?

StitchJones

@themaladroit agreed control looks fantastic, but we knew remedy has been hammering away on that game for ages. The world premieres were just weak. Also, everything is in Space or Asian themed samurai/sword play. Its all getting tired. Esp all the Asian backdrop stuff. Need some new concepts in this industry

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Game Awards 2025?

StitchJones

@Dan12836666 agreed. the last 2 world premieres were something that could have just been shown in a state of play, nothing epic. And why did they have to spend so much time on the BS street fighter movie and all the banter between that whole crew before they can even announce the winner. Dreadful
