When Konami announced that they will be releasing their stealth action video game Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns for the Patriots for the iPhone and iPod Touch I was Excited. But now, not so much. The preview video was disappointing and not what was expected of the game to be.
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.
a bit disappointingly "Disapointing".
this is metal gear for the iphone what in the hell did you expect? EDIT@Above now what in the hell was that shot at ps3 fans for? EDIT @BELOW yea people like that are the reason that i dont frequent the main site
A REAL game trying to be played on a PHONE. Yeah OK the iPhone and iPod Touch are truly the future of portable gaming. Now does everyone see how stupid that sounds when Apple, et al, speak about such things?
I don't see a problem with the version of MGS4 they are making for the iPhone. I mean what do they want? An actually MGS game? No that just wouldn't work. This is a great fit for the device at hand plus it's MGS4! Geez people get way to uppity these days
Metal Gear Solid is disappointing in general. The iPhone has nothing to do with it.
