AI is here to stay, wherever we like it or not. With my business work we've had to use it, it can be helpful and it can be a hinderance, its like a very fast and eager assistant that can give quick results and info, but make tons of mistakes and nonesense up if you dont manage him and knowledge check. When it comes to using in the creative field, i understand the controversy, but my personal analogy there is that its like a Formula 1 race car, i can buy one, but if i dont have the skills to drive, i can crash or harm others, if i do know, i can make it sing. That said, AI can never replicate talent, talent will always be in demand.
I guess that push for gaming on the Netflix app hasnt gone anywhere? In fairness it is more mobile based, but at one point they were hinting at gaming on a tv with a controller. Say what u want about WB Games now, but they have a hell of a backlog.
Q: So you've been hired to adapt this popular book people are fanatics about, what do like about it?
A: never read it. Dont need to. The movie will be great.
Sweet, this is the kind of online experience i love, Left 4 Dead still gets replays from me, if its even close to that, its a day one for me and my buddies.
Good on BF6, was the much better release this yr. Problem is, it can never truly overtake unless it annualises itself, and then it would have all the same issues CoD has. CoD will recover by the time the next BF launches in 3 to 4 years, but lets see...
Im really struggiling to think. In the last 10 years, has it EVER worked out, when a studio known for strong single player campaigns attempt a live service game?
Would love to see them remake the OG GoW trilogy via the new 3rd person style. Would be perfectly suited to the studios style and expertise, one can hope...
Crazy, two generations ago, Bioware was actually my no.1 developer, but I've accepted that studio had a seizure soon after, and it's been a dementia ridden shell of itself ever since. I don't like to see ppl lose jobs, but this studio has been cut slack for near a decade, not delivering anything good or finically successful in that timeframe, im surprised it took so long tbh.
@Splat don't worry Arteus was there to tell you how to finish the puzzle 30 secs after coming across it lol. That's probably my biggest grip, happy to hear u can switch it off now.
Judge is fantastic in voice and motion but if we're talking a headliner that matches the physical with chops, Bautista would rock it, the man is even half Greek, seems like a no brainer.
Cool, at least its failure didn't cut them off at the knees, happy to hear their focusing back at what they do best, can't wait to play Max Payne again with fresh polish!
@Brundleflies21 I know what you mean, although personally 3, Inferno, and the remake have their moments, 1 & 2 are straight classics. I like what i see here though, looks like a callback to the early era.
Great to see a horror movie IP come to games with this passion and detail, and it's a cinematic single player experience, not another multiplayer GaaS endeavor. Great that Bradley and Barker are involved too. Wish they would've taken the same approach with their Evil Dead game.
I understand the move for GaaS games for sure, they should do it for those titles in the i tiative. Nintendo has a way bigger userbase so better if they chucked in a Switch 2 port too.
That's great news for the dev, and what I'm impressed by is that it's GaaS game that totally leans into the companies strengths...instead of stripping it from them,. They deserve the success.
It just goes to show, success is in the eye of the beholder, plus SEGA seem to keep budgets and expectations in check, something Square really struggles with.
Well, I guess the expression is true...there is no bad press. In all fairness, the game's controversy has made it a constant hot topic for several weeks, whereas, otherwise it would've likely been released and very quickly forgotten.
Nice one, it's the only game out the first 6 (I stopped after that) that I never played, and always wanted to. I suspect this will be a great way to experience it finally.
Crazy if a second Concord style disaster is already in motion...all they can do is straight axe it and shutter the studio now instead of later. What a waste of time and resources in a dramatically difficult moment in the industry. Real shame.
@Areus Pupeeteer...what an awesome game. Would make for a nice multiple port like we've been seeing Bandai do, maybe it would finally get some mainstream love.
I mean it's really about 'when' over 'if' at this point. Plus we've been hearing bout Halo 1 PS5 since last year. I'm guessing a Q4 release for the first game.
"Two games were cancelled. One of them was a Titanfall game..."
What? No way...say it ain't the case!
"...designed to be an extraction shooter."
Oh, I can live with that 🙂.
