Acclaimed XBLA platformer Shadow Complex will get a sequel, developer Chair Entertainment has pledged.
The Epic off-shoot's creative director Donald Mustard wouldn't offer any specific details about what it has planned for the next installment, but promised it would be returning to the franchise.
"One of my favorite digital only games back on the Xbox 360 was this game called Shadow Complex that originally released back in 2009."
Chair Entertainment's Donald Mustard talks Spyjinx, JJ Abrams and how there could be a "bloodbath" in the VR market
I dont want a world where games are mindless "brodude" MMO FPS. We all have are ideas where we want gaming to go.
Same here...there's a difference between 'cinematic' games and cinema games. It's a balance you've gotta strike. J.J. Himself & a fair handful of the Bad Robot crew have all praised Naughty Dog for the way they tell a story within the games, and a lot of them have admitted to cribbing their work a bit.
I think Naughty Dog's motto is perfect..."keep it on the stick"...if you can give me that huge epic feeling while I'm actually controlling the action, then you've succeeded. If you give me cutscenes to fill in those moments then I could've had a better experience going into literally any movie at the cinema then you may need to go back to the drawing board. That was one of The Order's main drawbacks, great potential but they took control away just a bit too much & it screwed up the balance. Games should concentrate on being games first & foremost, then fit in all of the interesting new bits around the gameplay. Some opinions may differ but I see gaming as a unique medium that has so many advantages, it's a shame when they aren't taken advantage of.
Destiny, division, COD, Battlefield, Doom the list goes on. I cant belive you even asked.
@Hitoemi, None of those are MMO FPS, the only games i can think of that would fall into that category is Planet Side 2 and Escape Tarkov.
Destiny has teams of 3, max 6 for a raid, Division is 4. Cod is not where near MMo status and never will be. Battlefield is kinda close with the 644 players but again that isn't Massive Multiplayer. Planet Side has over 200 people on one server at a time, thats the closest we are getting. the best reference for an MMO FPS is Escape Tarkov

The gaming industry has already entered full "Hollywood Mode" though. And it has for a while too, it's just even more blatant now. Think about it: a lot of games are remasters/remakes, which is exactly what Hollywood does with its movie franchises. Then you have a lot of games whose sole point is to generate more profits, not more fun. Exactly like Hollywood movies: soulless and devoid of what makes classics well, classics. Doesn't mean there aren't good games anymore, but the whole industry is looking dire and very anti-consumer now (DLCs, season passes, various paywalls, barren single player modes, etc.).
I know that's not exactly what this article is about, but to me the parallel is clear as day.
Nah, J.J., Goddard & most of the Bad Robot crew have all specifically praised Naughty Dog & they are obviously influenced by their work. Look at movies like Furious 7 or Star Trek Beyond that are both cribbing the train sequence from the opening of UC2.
Abrams absolutely isn't firing shots at UC, that much is for certain.

Donald Mustard. Great friggin name.

Im surprised it took them this long to say something about a 2nd game. First one was a big seller and was good.
