It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
more westerner devs , less Japanese devs
Enough FPSs please!
Damn, I want Atlus to show up. Hopefully with some Persona 4 news.
Well that's good to hear because the last time I saw that list, Square Enix wasn't even on the list and now it is. I was thinking that Square Enix would make it to E3 because there are TONS of Final Fantasy fans that want to see a new trailer or get new info about Final Fantasy XIII... or possibly an announcement for Kingdom Hearts 3. There's no way that Square Enix couldn't be there.
The only developers I care about being at E3 besides Square Enix are: Guerilla Games, Insomniac, Digi-Guys, Crytek, SCEA, and Naughty Dog. All of the rest of those developers could go bankrupt tommorrow and I wouldn't care.
My god! yes!
FALLOUT 3 NEWS!
