Paul James writes "Zombies are a major part of the entertainment landscape, in gaming they’re more prominent than ever before. We’ve seen recent releases such as Dying Light and Left 4 Dead, we see TV shows such as The Walking Dead dominate television, World War Z and more end up huge Hollywood blockbusters. It would seem as though zombies are here to stay, but are they really?"
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
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.
If the games are well made and bring something new to the table then keep them coming. But I would also like to see a major studio take up a dinosaur game. Right now its the indies making the dino games, I've only played a couple of them with friends but they are fun.
i hope it never does
Hopefully soon
I'm still enjoying zombie games.
Never cared much for zombies, but I do enjoy The Walking Dead. Also, the "Run For Your Lives" 5k run was super fun to do. Other than that, I feel no desire to get/do/watch something just because it has zombies in it.
Guess I'm weird like that.
I'm not gonna wish it to end since clearly a lot of people enjoy them. It just doesn't do anything super special for me.
