IGN: "Digital Extremes, is working on two new projects.
The Canada-based developer posted a job for a programmer to work on its proprietary Evolution Engine, which we're presuming will be used to power the two unannounced games. The dev dropped no hints in the job posting about what the upcoming projects may be but asked that the applicant be familiar with "next-generation" console games.
The consoles listed in the job posting are PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii, but it's unclear how the two unannounced projects would be distributed across those platforms.
With the number of layoffs rising week by week in the videogame industry, we're guessing DE will have no lack of applicants, especially because their London, Ontario office features "an on-site massage therapist and free daily homemade lunches." Nothing gets the programming juices flowing like a back rub and a turkey sandwich."
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
That's good news. they are a good developer company.
dark sector was very underrated. it wasnt breaking the mold but the game played well.. nothing really wrong with it.
if i'm correct they were called in to help with the ps3 version of bioshock too.
i actually hope there will be a sequel to dark sector down the line too.
They are a good developer. I loved Dark Sector and I hope they continue developing another one. Evolution Engine is better than Unreal Engine.
i would love to see a dark sector sequel. ,loved the first one.
i'm hoping it gets a sequel because the game was great, as for these unannounced titles they should be great, DE are very versed in PS3 programing since they lead on the platform with Dark Sector, in addition they worked on the PS3 version of Bioshock. I really wanna see what the evoluion engine looks like on it's next 2 projects. this is a dev i'd support. cant wait to see what it is they are working on
