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.
Congrats to Forza. I've got it and it looks nice but I haven't spent much time on it yet. I getting more into Tenchu.
Just one more thing, Resistance is back up to #3. WOW.
It's quite a good game ( Forza2 ) and thought the sim-physics did'nt disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed the painting/modding feature of the game, and I'm really hoping that on the next series they would finally put an in-car camera viewpoint which was the only missing ingredient.
They have moved DIRT: Colin McRae on the first week of July, no complaint here. And am eagerly anticipating for this one as well.
Just to let you know, buyers here in Australia - if you want to get a better deal ( cheaper price ) get your games at JB hi-fi stores ( I do not work there, just from experience... ) as it would save you from around AU$20.00 for a new title and other releases.
