Crystal Dynamics Working on AAA Game

SKOAR! writes "Although no new projects have been announced by the developer, a recent job post by shows that the company is back working on a game and is on the hunt for a senior art director for a prestigious AAA franchise."

I don't know either but the story of Raziel was certainly wrapped up. Best voice acting in a game series ever.

Skoar though is another one of these pop up sites that doesn't understand a game can't be a AAA title before it is released. A game may have AAA production values but you don't get that after laying off over a third of your company.

Ya, that really annoys me.

How the F do they know it's a "AAA" game?

Xi6101d ago (Edited 6101d ago )

They're working on a game in an AAA franchise.

This is usually a well known, high selling franchise, like halo, gta, mgs, mario.

I seriously wonder

Kain is inbound I hear...

callahan096101d ago

God I hope so.

I also REALLY hope for a PSone Classics release of the original Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen and Soul Reaver games on PSN. I loved those games. The most important for me, though, is Blood Omen. I feel like I was one of the lucky few who got to appreciate and love that game before the Soul Reaver half of the franchise even existed. I got Blood Omen when it first released and thought it was the greatest thing since A Link To The Past. It's still my favorite in the series. Wonderful voice acting, great story, amazing game design. Such a great game. It could really benefit from being re-released so that it doesn't rely on the disc-read for loading everything. The one flaw in that game was the ridiculous long load times. The PC version was great because it eliminated the load times, but my Vista won't run it :(

Aaah, memories. I remember writing a letter in to PSM back when their first issue came out with Final Fantasy VII on the cover. It was the first time I ever wrote in to a magazine, and I wrote to say how much I wanted a Legacy of Kain sequel! I never thought I'd get one, and then Soul Reaver was announced a while after that, and I was as happy as could be.

I'd love it if someone would make a PSN / XBLA sequel to Kain's story, or perhaps even a full-on HD remake, and retaining the hand-drawn 2D top-down graphics. Oh yes. I can dream.

I wouldn't complain about a Legacy of Kain new game. Actually I'm hoping for it since E3 2006 to meet the once-next-gen systems... I know Defience wraped up Raziel for good, but we can always upgrade that sword through "mini-worlds" like battles inside the sword playing raziel to get the sword upgraded and the "real world" we would play Kain as usual.

A Gex game could be good, but it have to be as fun as first and have gameplay and graphics quality on par with Ratchet to get my interest raised.

SpoonyRedMage6101d ago

That's kind of how I imagined it. I thought inside the Reaver would be a form of the Spectral Realm and there's certainly enough souls in it already. Could be a good adventure. It'd also lead to some fun stuff where you kill a boss as Kain and then have to fight it as Raziel using a different tactic.

I doubt it'll be LoK though.:(

MajestieBeast6101d ago

wow i thought crystal dynamics was no more loved the gex games from these guys. I wish them goodluck with everything.

Metacritic Removes Resident Evil 9 Review From Fake AI Writer

Kotaku writes: "A Resident Evil Requiem review published by long-standing UK gaming news site Videogamer has been removed from Metacritic after readers pointed out it was written by a fake AI journalist who doesn’t actually exist. Videogamer‘s human masthead was gutted last week, sources tell Kotaku, and the site has been publishing apparent genAI slop ever since."

Genuinely well done on metacritic for taking such an immediate hard stance. Not often, if at all, you see that these days. Credit where it’s due.

Eonjay19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

This is really sad on so many levels. Not least of all the fact that all the human lost their jobs to a language model. Can we block all content coming from Videogamer site. Can we make a rule that content sumitted to N4G must be greated by a human being.

I'm gonna report every Videogamer article I see on N4G from now on so just putting it out there.

Christopher18h ago

N4G doesn't allow AI-generated content. Please report as you see necessary.

Mr_cheese11h ago

Isnt videogamer one of the N4G owner run sites?

Seems to fit their MO to cut corners and push cheap dribble.

Christopher4h ago

Check the last time one of their articles was added to the site.

OMGitzThatGuy59m ago

Check my comments, over a year ago I was calling out videogamer and N4G on their AI articles pushing slop 24/7

Christopher28m ago

I can confirm that those older articles were not AI, just not great.

TheColbertinator18h ago

It is amazing but I'm starting to slightly miss the moron gaming press we had in the 2010s because at least they were human.

MrDead3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

It was "written" by Asha Sharma I hear.
