And Gundam Evolution is still trucking along, god bless it. The new season is apparently going to come with a lot of updates to the game, so here's hoping.

The lack of crossplay meant there wasn't really a point to it, lol. I think both versions are much more active on the Japanese servers.

I feel like that's the calling card of a gundam game. Not even a criticism, really--for whatever weird rear end reason I played the hell out of Journey to Jaburo on ps2 until I S ranked everything I could, and that game's controls were...not great.

I love this one, especially in light of the postmortems that said Anthem had no post-release content plan and this poster amounts to essentially speculative fiction.



If I had the money to open an art gallery I'd put up all these failed roadmaps on display.

This poo poo drives me insane. I kind of feel like the live services thing has been falling apart for a while but nobody really wanted to admit it because it would shatter the shared illusion between audience and developer about the chances (or lack thereof) of these games making quick money, and nobody really wants to invest in studios long term to give singleplayer games a go because that requires talent retention and better working conditions. What this all probably means is that so-called AA games are going to have an easier time getting made and being profitable over the next 5 years which is fine with me.

What this will actually mean is even more gaas getting made and canned before ending a financial quarter, even going the streaming service route of canning readymade projects to get in on the tax rebate scam.

Wild reading the think pieces by drones who see crazy layoffs, historical levels of industry consolidation, and talent retention nightmares due to rampant burnout/crunch ...and think to themselves well actually the videogame market is extremely healthy right now.

It's so vague and generic you could put the logo of pretty much any game with a future/sci fi setting up in the corner and it wouldn't seem out of place

I consider Anthem a success story.

I mean, my only exposure to it was the thread on these forums that went from optimistic and hyped-up to a deep feeling of unease to sheer horror (I think at one point the OP just replaced the first post with gifs of the planes flying into the Twin Towers) to bitter resignation. Then I think one goon actually went,"gently caress it, I'm making my own Anthem!" .... and did?

Knockout City is planning to release a proper P2P private server version of the game after their servers shut down, which is a pretty commendable consideration if they manage to pull it off.

What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?
I'm not doing a pixel by pixel comparison, but I played the Division for the first time last month, and it's a gorgeous game, with a sleek presentation. I'd say it lives up to what I remember of the pre-release footage even if it technically might miss the mark.



It's also my favorite tactical shooter in recent memory.

I remember the first time I saw one of those I thought,"Oh Jesus Christ does the game have voices that talk that inanely?" and then realized it was actually MARKETING to entice us with the Real Gamer Talk Action™ because somehow they think people ever talk like that in games.

Don't forget that after it shut down, they were like "gently caress we need money NOW" so they shat out an alpha of a battle royale game, called it Super Early Access, and charged people for microtransactions in it

what i remember most about lawbreakers is that they came in to try and snatch away a portion of overwatch's market share with the most AI generated looking characters around

I'm glad when games like Lawbreakers still have their abandoned official media channels up even years later. You can see how devs were working on their game right up until the point the proverbial plug gets pulled.

And see things they would try to do to keep interest in the game going like this:
