"Like most fanboys do before the release of a much anticipated game, I went searching for the best pre-order deal for Gears of War 2. I decided that I wasn't really interested in a gold hammerburst and went for Best Buy's pre-order item of a remote control centaur tank. I was aware the tank would be fairly small in stature and probably be made of the cheapest parts available, but I was sure that it would at least function properly. Man, was I wrong."
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.
Funny enough, so is the Centaur Tank in the game. I bet they wanted to make the toy match the game by giving it terrible controls...
Awesome day one purchase.
The controls on the Centaur are very similar to the Halo Warthog.
Game is good but the radio controlled car is crap.
the Centaur controls in game are atrocious, especially when trying to navigate the frozen lake.
