Concept art for a canceled Jak 4 (or possible reboot?) was moving in a less x-treme direction, but sadly it will never be: https://www.vg247.com/2015/08/01/jak-and-daxter-4-concept-art-jak-4/
Reminds me of the early Epic Mickey concept art that never was:

The Bloodborne thread is good because I'm actually okay at that game and can give new people advice :(

I think it's also because a lot of people who played Bloodborne and post in there seemed to not have played a souls game before. Different vibe

I really don't like the idea that North Korea becomes a first world power but they are still evil because they are North Korea. That's hosed up.

I think they're evil because they're controlled by Big Corporation (tm). PMCs have become the ethically "safe" enemy to kill en-masse in videogames, but they still want to link it to the first Homefront for some reason which is why they're specifically a North Korean company-state. I'll bet you anything that one of your allies will be an NK resistance fighter to show that they aren't all bad.

I thought that Epic Mickey was alright. Not even close to the quality of the concept art but enjoyable. The sequel sucked though.

Wasn't it Warren Specter or somebody who was initially behind it? As I recall, their focus-testing found that people didn't respond well to this weird dark Disney take and they wanted more classic Mickey elements to it.

So they made a sort of okay but not that okay platformer game in an era where 3-D platformers were not highly desired.

They probably just don't want to waste a giant Zelda game they've worked on for years on a console that's already been deemed a failure.

Still baffling, the Wii U has had some great releases steadily coming out the past two years and it still couldn't keep up with the competition. Console gaming is dying.

I agree but also a friendly reminder:



What I'm saying is that subtlety and nuance is not the biggest strength of CoD-like FPS games' devs.

yeah that game was a mess. their was great article on how hosed the dev cycle was for it. like how the writer didnt write poo poo and just put his name on it and some poor studio dude got saddled with all of it. the north korea idea came from retarded ideas man who wrote for a bunch of poo poo movies no one liked. the game got redone and rushed like 3 times so it was hosed.

the new one seems to be basicaly rebooting the brand as far cry clone. Plus i want to see how decent phille looks.
