CharlieFoxtrot posted:Is Beyond Good and Evil 2 dead Almost certainly. Michel Ancel was forced out (not metooed, he's just really bad at project/people managerment apparently), their plan to make half the game out of free assets donated by fans probably isn't going well, and what they did have to show off last time was unfocused tech wanking with no clear path to becoming a game

Psychonauts 2 was promised to come out this year at least. Chances are extremely low that it's actually a good game though.

i think psychonauts 2 will be fine. i don't think DF on average makes bad games, just games that get overhyped and are more style than substance. but like.. i like more of their games than dislike i like: psychonauts costume quest stacking iron brigade broken age (sorry haters) hack & slash headlander psychonauts in the rhombus of ruin didn't like: brutal legend spacebase (obviously) the cave and then they also publish/fund good games too: escape goat 2 thoth GNOG gang beasts also i have not played Rad but it seems like it's fine. not into roguelites tho

FirstAidKite posted:What about it ruins it? I've never played it, don't care about spoilers so spoil me. I'm fuzzy on the details since it's been an age  but here's what I remember:Broken Age has two protagonists. The first is a boy named Shay, who's all alone on the starship Bassinostra with a creepy, controlling Mom AI, on a mission to find new habitable worlds. The second is a girl named Vella, who lives in a village where they sacrifice their daughters to a flying tentacle beast named Mog Chothra. Shay meets a stowaway in a wolf suit named Marek, who teaches him how to avoid Mom's surveillance and use the Bassinostra to rescue endangered animals from hostile worlds. Vella learns that her village once made war upon Mog Chothra and wants to stop the sacrifice, even though everyone else is way into it. At the end of Act 1 it turns out that the Bassinostra IS Mog Chothra, the space travel was all a big deception, and the animals Shay thinks he's been rescuing are actually the sacrificial maidens. You don't learn more until the finale of the game, where it's revealed that Marek, and Vella's grandmother for some reason, are from a race of weird parasite people called Thrush that rule over a hidden fortress-city which Shay believed was his homeworld. The Thrush keep the city running by using the Mog-ships to abduct slaves. Also the Mom AI was Shay's actual mother, just because. This is all resolved when Shay and Vella take another Mog-ship and overload its reactor, causing it to melt down and form a bridge to the fortress-city's gates in utter defiance of all physics. Thus the Thrush are forced to stop hiding in their slave-city and be friends with everyone. The End. DF couldn't have come up with a less satisfying resolution if they'd tried.

Swapping back and forth between AC Odyssey and Sekiro is a no go. Lots of similar actions between the two on completely different buttons. I'm having a great time with Sekiro. It takes a little bit but once you get a feel for the difference between block and parry and learn when you can attack it's excellent. Just started watching VG's first stream of it and got a good laugh at people in the chat telling him to smash all the kid's books.

i finished sonic the hedgehog 2006 last weekend, and while i don't have any profound thoughts on its failures that haven't been brought up time and again already, i did enjoy my time with it. the controls are bizarrely bad but the 3d sonic base is still there and i'm experienced enough with those to not have too much trouble. only one game over, and not even from mach speed or the final level! sonic's story is a big dumb waste of time (aside from picking amy in the trial of love), but shadow and silver's stories have some cool and funny parts as well as just playing better than team sonic. the main hero doesn't even meet the main villain! after sonic dies and then gets the kiss of life from his human girlfriend, i can't help but think he has absolutely no idea what's going on. as sloppy as the infamous mach speed sections are, i'm glad the devs decided to stick with the concept and workshop it because holy poo poo are the daytime stages in sonic unleashed fun to play. the sense of speed is unreal, and i doubt it would have come out so well without the groundwork laid by 06, secret rings, and rivals (bizarrely enough). kinda bummed that almost all the friends got shuffled away though. the change in tone between 06 and unleashed is refreshing but sonic's friends didn't do anything wrong

Well, that was a good half-decade or so of Crash seemingly being back. Guess there's really no new Spyro game in development at the moment if both Toys For Bob and Vicarious Visions are busy in various support roles.

Someone explain to me why you would buy a bunch of talented developers and then have them grind in the cod mines for all eternity. Why not expand the studios that have worked on cod games and, I don't know, have those other developers work on potential new

It's about making the most money in the shortest amount of time. Work the talented developers to death making gun skins or whatever the gently caress you get in CoD these days, make ludicrous bank and hope the situation will be infinitely sustainable.

Crash 4 was probably barely saved from being turned into a live-service game with battle passes, limited-time alternate skins and various currencies to spend during development.

Jolo posted:Didn't Toys for Bob do the recent new Crash game? That was all new right or was it a remake? Both Crash 4 and the remake trilogy did quite well, both critically and sales-wise. But why bother with that when you can have King farm out a Crash-branded endless runner that brings in way more cash? Probably well over 40 million downloads at this point. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-04-16-crash-bandicoot-on-the-run-earned-usd700k-in-one-week Whizzing Wizard posted:Someone explain to me why you would buy a bunch of talented developers and then have them grind in the cod mines for all eternity. Activision only cares about immediate profits and growth that can be attained in the shortest possible timeframes. Blizzard is kind of an anomaly there, but they're being slowly forced to adapt.

At the very least it sounds like they're just assisting on the current DLC season and aren't a full time CoD studio now.
