Super happy to see Unravel 2 out today. Purchased and started playing co-op with my kid! It’s pretty great running around solving puzzles with him and then pulling him up to places he can’t quite figure out how to get up to. Real good father and son moments! :dance:

Sea of Solitude shows that EA missed the memo that nobody cares about lovely indie platform games about feelings anymore.

That and SPORTS! 2019, knock-off Destiny and phonegame C+C means that they may be the most tone-deaf publisher in the gaming industry.

ah yes the sports games that sell hella copies, no one gives a gently caress about those am i right :alleyes: (except for nba live, truly no one cares about that)

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

I like the part of the Anthem trailer where they showed robot suits customized to have N7 and Eva-01 colours but that's about it.

Its dumb you have to play a class instead of mix n and matching

The weird thing about their Anthem section was they spent all this time telling you the backstory of who gives a poo poo and nothing about the characters. It doesn't matter how much time and effort you put into the worldbuilding if there aren't any interesting characters populating it.

Can FROSTBITE do mobile?

Yes, DICE worked directly with Apple and Google to get Xbox 360 level visuals on the engine for phones. For actual game development, you're probably better off licensing Unity or UE4.

And they keep doing it too, even though it screwed over the development of multiple games.

I can't fathom why anyone would want to play mostly PvE games like The Division or Anthem, do some people really get that much satisfaction out of killing AI?

I am bad at games and suck at shooting younger players who have better reflexes than me. I've gotten one over in PvP in a couple times and it's a total rush, but it's so few and far between I'd rather not keep making a fool of myself.
