Nightmare Mode touches on the Jennifer Hepler drama, and says that it's not beneficial for all game developers to be huge video game fans. In fact, it's detrimental: non-fans provide differing perspectives and allow for the industry to grow. Examples cited include Keita Takahashi, creator of Katamari Damacy, and the Houser brothers of Rockstar.
Keita Takahashi says he has ideas for new Katamari Damacy games…
Well that sucks to see. Maybe it'd be easier to work with Bandai Namco in their home country, at least.
Some of the Katamari games have been great but lets face it, the concept is done now and new entries are just milking it.
You've inspired him. His new game will be about a princess who has to undo all the horrible work her brother did. You must unroll all these things and put them back in their place. Thank you for your words of inspiration!
That sucks for him 🥺 maybe he could make a spiritual successor of he finds a publisher?
Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."
I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed
Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.
I feel the same way.
I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?
Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.
Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year
So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?
Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”
Speaking on a recent episode of the FRVR Podcast, veteran EA developer Alex Hutchinson—who worked on The Sims 2, Spore and Army of Two: The 40th Day—explained that the studio is already no longer the studio fans fell in love with, but it should be safe from censorship of its games’ political beliefs.
BioWare should find the center and focus. Chasing someone else’s shadow will likely lead to failure.
