Oh, why can’t we all just learn to get along? In the happy-go-lucky world of Kickstarter, everything is meant to be made of flowers and unicorns, but as reported by Venture Beat, Al Lowe and Replay Games are marching in with their knee-high sue-boots and threatening legal action against Wisecrack Games, and their plan to raise half a million for a new Sam Suede game. Oh – they may have a point.
GRTV's David Caballero talked to Leisure Suit Larry creator Al Lowe at Gamelab in Barcelona.
"It's difficult to do humour in games. Period. Whether sexual or not, because in a game you have freedom to do what you want to do. That's the whole point of gaming. A bad game locks you into a path, you don't like that, you want to be able to do things as you want to do them. That's the opposite of what works in humour."
"What I believed is that people have been wandering in the desert th past decade, and that they are ready for something a little different and something that will make them smile."
ratchet and clank are legendary, i dare everyone who disagrees to play each game in the series to see for themselves!
I always thought Naughty Dog and Insomniac use to do it pretty well. Daxter and Quark used to crack me up all the time.
What is with the disagrees? I liked Daxter and Quark and I thought they were funny.
DHGF: Last week, we looked at some Kickstarter failures and why they didn’t meet their funding goals, along with the usual sections. This week we look at the Sam Suede controversy, why it happened, why it really wasn’t a controversy in the first place and how it shows the dangers of not thinking things through before you open your yap. Now, without further ado, let’s take a look at some crowd funding.
