how come nobody is making like a battle royale game that's like twisted metal or rocket league or w/e

Hero Shooters/MOBA/ETC really gain longevity thanks to all the character variety you can find in a single title and there were already games banking on that tactic in 2010-2012 so it was bizarre seeing the last Twisted Metal go in the complete opposite direction and only have three characters.

The last Twisted Metal killed the franchise for a while until they inevitably announce a new one.

Battlefield V stuff:

quote:

During EA’s fiscal earnings call today, CEO Andrew Wilson announced that Battlefield V missed its sales expectations for the holiday quarter.

Wilson attributed Battlefield V’s underperformance to several factors. First was the game’s month-long delay from October 19 to November 20, which pushed the title into a busier holiday season. Wilson also pointed to prioritizing single-player content over Battlefield V’s still unreleased battle-royale mode as a contributing factor to the poor sales. Later in the call, CFO Blake Jorgensen offered specific numbers: Battlefield V has sold 7.3 million copies, putting it 1 million units below the company's expectations.

That said, EA touted that 27 million players have played Battlefield games over the past year, and that they are committed to “long-term live service” for their players. Battlefield V’s battle royale mode is set to launch in March.

Man don't throw single-player content as a selling point under the bus like that.

Also (not) nice to see Disney throwing older ventures under the bus like...

https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1092932865820643328

That? That's...kind of a lie? Because game companies that Disney themselves owned DID make good games, have made good games once upon a time? And like the whole thing with Disney Infinity shutting down wasn't because the game wasn't good but because even though it made money it didn't make money fast enough for them.

I love that leveled up to max, Big Boss is the third strongest spirit in Smash Ultimate discounting the two eldritch antagonists of said game's adventure mode. It goes them, Galacta Knight, Akuma and then Big Boss the Human. There's hundreds of creatures, deities and more below him in power.

I just remember in retrospect probably extending the amount of time it would take to beat later levels in Metal Arms because I would first almost always exclusively use the "Jack-In" feature to take over enemy robots instead of using any of the other weapons you got in the game.

They should make a movie based on Capcm's hit game Under the Skin. It's about an alien taking the form of humans and there's a whole level based on Resident Evil 3 with Jill and Nemesis showing up.

Unfortunately there will be very few unique enemy types in the FF7 remake.

Honestly for the first episode you're basically looking at Shinra Soldiers, Hell House and a new optional superboss that's just a palette swap called Doom House.

Every article about Bobby Kotick was about how he wouldn't even meet with Will Wright when he was pitching The Sims, how everyone else in ActiVision had to convince him that Guitar Hero was worthwhile, how he was against Call of Duty moving out of World War 2 and onto consoles, etc

Bobby Kotick in the PS2 generation going around the whole industry telling everyone to stop making RTS games they were stupid and the industry took his word.

Kind of:

quote:

“It was designed and documented and we started some preliminary development with assets, but the market changed quite rapidly first after the success of Warcraft 2 (which was a key inspiration and the RTS game we loved the most) but then a few sub-quality products hit the market and suddenly publishers were convinced that the RTS market was dead.

“It wasn’t that the game wasn’t working out, it’s that the market perceptions were rapidly shifting. I can remember exactly the moment when I realized we might be headed for trouble, and it wasn’t an internal production issue: I walked into the mens room at LAX airport, and standing next to me at the sink was Bobby Kotick. We started talking and he asked how it was going and what we were working on. I said, “We’re doing this new Munch game but also trying our hand an an Oddworld RTS game but with a twist.” He frowned and said “You don’t want to go there. The RTS market isn’t performing well.”

“It was at that moment that I knew we were in trouble. Activision wasn’t as huge as it is today, but anybody who knew Bobby Kotick knew he was super sharp. Weeks later the same basic perception was flowing through the industry, and our publisher was now going through an acquisition by a French publisher that was getting a reputation for being content risk averse. All things considered, we decided to put development on halt and wait it out for a more promising publishing climate.

Has there ever been a money-pit quite like Crackdown 3? I mean in terms of RoI, because the game is already getting hammered in reviews and I doubt there was a clamoring fan-base out there for it anyways. The closest I can think of is FFXV.

A little part of me can't believe that project wasn't canned years ago, but I guess it might be a pride thing for Microsoft.

It's reviewing worse than Jump Force, which makes sense. At least Jump Force is giving everybody some good chuckles. It makes you feel good about yourself.

It feels like February is cursed game month, with the exception of a few titles.

And Anthem, which literally cannot fail. There's too much riding on that game for Bioware it is too big to fail.

Yes, Lanning has basically never liked the fact that his grand saga got derailed and basically stopped 2/5 of the way into it so they're remaking the second game but with the scope of the third one.

This is the same presentation where he shows off that not only are all the highest levels of villains in Oddworld "Cephalopod-based" which you can see when you play the games like especially the main baddie from Stranger's Wrath. But, BUT that the third highest rank on the pyramid of global power are "Globalist Bankers" and like...when you combine those two it feels, not the best combination...

Not only voice actors but also voices that make use of the voice of the development staff who understands the game.
