Glen Schofield has offered his “deepest apologies” for comments he made yesterday regarding “bugs” and the Battlefield 3 beta, with the Modern Warfare 3 dev saying that he has been in exactly the same place as a developer that DICE are right now with Frostbite 2.
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.
Glen writes: "For me, it’s a bittersweet moment. I spent roughly a decade at each company, right in their primes. Watching them fade from their roles as dominant publishers and powerhouse training grounds hits harder than I expected."
Such a shame we never got the DS2 remake for PS5 as we did for the 1st one. Loved the franchise especially the 2nd one.
One of the reasons I bought remake of 1 was to increase the chances of a remake of 2…smh
Same here, I really wanted that DS2 remake even more after I saw how amazing was the DS1 remake. They did an amazing job, game looks phenomenal.
Could Dead Space return now EA has new owners? That's what Glen Schofield, the creator of the series, is hoping to make a reality.
EA already makes so much money on sports and live service. Why not take a fraction of that cash, make a good single player Dead Space? Just do it.
Why the third game didn't sell that good and ruined the Ip. Let it rest in peace.
Because there's still potential and he's not done telling the story? Just because you get socked in the face really hard doesn't mean you lay down and just take it, especially if you haven't finished what you set out to do.
The point is they really ruined the story where most people just don’t care
Now if they remake DS2 and then redo DS3 as a completely new game, branching the game off into a new timeline then we are golden
If Callisto is his idea of a Dead Space game without the supervision of EA, i don't think i'd want to see where he'd take DS4 now that EA aren't the ones in charge. No wonder he's "already" making calls.
Oh, another sportswashed game I will never buy because I don't support the Saudi royalty.
No shit. We can't go without buying gas. People can go without games. There is no ethical consumption in capitalism anyway.
But people can make stands if they like.
No idea why it bothers you, dude isn't even asking others to join in on his boycott
These people really shouldn't have their own twitter account but a company controlled one. They must know everything they say is scrutinised. It wasn't a bad comment but was a little unnecessary
shouldn't slate a game for issues when past COD titles are a key example of why beta's are needed.
So he just took a mulligan?
I have 2 questions. 1 how bad ( buggy ) was the beta? 2 Can the bugs be fixed by realese time? I didn't play it so I have no idea.
Am I the only one that thinks betas are meant to be buggy :D ive been on enough of them to know this convo is just retarded lol :D. Difference between an alpha and a beta and a Demo are big things.
Betas are not in place to sell a games though of late some marketing has made it seem that way. Sooner people release this the better seems this issue here is among the console community.
Any one with a little sense knows better. Wait for the full release if theres issues then, Im sure the complaints will role. Tbh if there wasn't issues im sure some trolls will still find something to complain about. ;)
Btw i enoughed the console beta aswell. I loved the PC version but my graphics card allowed for that but ether way im acclimated to a ps3 and xbox360 controller aswell and i had fun with either beta. I expect the bugs in a beta.
