This is a debate that regularly comes into play in the world of social games; the battle of the developers, Playdom and Zynga - which is the better developer? We all know that Zynga currently reign king at the top of the social gaming ladder on Facebook - in fact, Zynga's CityVille on its own currently outranks all of Playdom's games combined. Playdom certainly have the wit and the intelligence, as well as Disney's intellectual property at its disposal while Zynga has the numbers, so lets delve deeper into this topic, and expose which developer is better.
Layoffs are expected at NaturalMotion, the studio behind Star Wars: Hunters, as Zynga reviews operations and focuses on optimizing its mobile game portfolio.
Vince Zyle writes "Star Wars Hunters is a really fun game! It’s not as good as other Star Wars games like Star Wars Battlefront 2 but coming from a developer like Zynga who worked on very underwhelming and low-quality titles before, this is a major upgrade.
There’s not much objectively wrong with the game aside from the work needed to make visuals smoother during animations. That’s one of the biggest issues at present alongside frame drops that occur from time to time when there’s too much going on which isn’t too bad but certainly noticeable.
In conclusion, Star Wars Hunters is a game for arena shooter fans who are looking for an action-filled game. Some of the other issues will hopefully be ironed out with future updates."
The acquisition of Zynga by Take-Two Interactive might become the video game industry's version of the AOL Time Warner merger.
I have to give props for the use of Electric Boogaloo reference. I don't think many young folk will even know what that is.
On topic... wasn't that where Don Mattrick went after leaving XB?
