There's actually several better examples of a "movie game" that've come out recently. Titles like The Bunker, Her Story, and Contradiction basically make FMV filmed sequences the meat and potatoes of the whole experience.

Just like it's WellyUK's opinion to disagree with someone else saying AJ's #1 choice is "right?"
The man, the myth, the legend. I quite like his list. Some expected titles, some not-so-expected, and a few I genuinely haven't even heard of yet. Sara Is Missing looks like an interesting one.
Congrats on 30/30. I really tried to strive for that, but lost the patience around the 20 mark and filled in the rest. I believe Christopher conjured up all of these. Most probably come from games he's played during this gen.
Agreed. This one was pretty enjoyable.
Perish the thought, right? No, I got that going in but I wanted to share which one's stumped me the most.
EDIT: And still got more right than you predicted. [o_o]~
When you get a couple more choices right than Christopher predicted you would (17/30):

Anyways, I think the one that really killed me in re-configuring my list was the cybernetic arm. Because, in my mind, A cybernetic arm made me feel as though you were leading me on. Rather than Sabrewulf's removed cyberneti...

"I don't see any investment into the franchises they own. Unless you're talking about Gears, Forza and Halo..."
Okay then. Outside those from this year and next:
-ReCore is their IP
-Quantum Break is their IP
-Return of State of Decay (their IP)
-Return of Crackdown (their IP)
-Sea of Thieves (their IP)
-Scalebound (their IP)
The point of conten...
You're presenting a false equivalence as an attempt to yell hypocrisy. It's hard to take you seriously.
You're disregarding context of his quote:
"My strategy is more around our own first party franchises, and investing in franchises that we own, and probably fewer exclusive deals for third party content."
Keyword: franchises. EVERYTHING stated within that quote is exactly what they're doing. There is a lesser emphasis on 3rd party temporary exclusivity for franchises they don't own than when XJuan initially released. The problem th...
"It Was Alright"
Story of DICE's first go at the Battlefront series, really.
@Christopher
"@oasdada: Every character is from a completely different IP. "
O_O Time to go back to the drawing board. No wonder trying to brute force Nathan, Sam, Jameson (all of which can be found in UC4) wasn't panning out. Could you also confirm if all these characters can be found in 8th gen titles?
Hey if Bungie eases my worries, then I'm down for that! Although, like with this blog, expect me to be fashionably late in conjuring up the D2 material. :P
Take care.
"I'm not sure a developer understanding and leveraging human psychology around rewards is necessarily a bad thing though."
On it's own, I wouldn't have a problem with it either; however, considering to what lengths it's been used in F2P games to the create "whales" it's been consistently used to bad ends.

I think it's a cool idea. :)
Thank you.
"I have to say though what you pointed out is a testament to good game design."
Well...I don't think that's the right word to use. Because when discussing "good design" (in my mind) a whole other can of worms opens up regarding AI, level+quest design, etc. "Effective design," on the other hand? I think that's one of the few unanimous qualities everybody can agree on with Destiny--vanilla or current...
Hmmm...maybe I will. Never thought of doing that so I appreciate the suggestion. :)
I hope everyone enjoyed the blog. Please feel free to submit your questions and/or comments below. :)

Hmmmm...interesting.
"Uncharted 4"
Once again, you don't care to read the description.
I get that that's a dig at them, but not really fair in this case. I recall old reports talking about Sony's dissatisfaction with Tequila Works' head honcho, claiming false advertising on the first trailer footage we saw. Eventually, things caved in so much that TWorks bought the franchise and got a new publisher. Judging by how nice this one looks, it seems like everything eventually came along.
I guess I'm still unsure to take either side's story ...
