As the age of online gaming becomes the dominant factor in gaming, this is a dilema that I am sure many game reviewers have considered. We are currently at midpoint between the online and singeplayer mode era’s, with the majority of games shifting their to multiplayer (and some such as MAG being online only) and certain games having no online at all. Success in sales is shared by all, but those games with online multiplayer are taking a significantly larger portion of the market in sales than their singeplayer counterparts.
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.
I think the two aspects just give an excuse to nitpick. If they want to rate the game lower, they'll critisize the parts of the game that arent supposed to be emphasized
KZ2 got ripped on for no coop, Killzone 3 coop doesnt even get mentioned
Not entirely seperate. I dont want 2 reviews per game, maybe 2 scores at the end of each review
The first game that came to mind to me was White Knight Chronicles. Most sites gave it a 5/10. The online was the best part of the game, and the story I though was really bad. Some games end up getting screwed over if either the SP, or MP is bad.
