Activision's held the license for a while and have been churning them out at a fair clip. It seems like after Rise of the Dark Spark bombed, they've clearly given up on the direction set by High Moon Studios. Giving it to Platinum - the best action game studio there is - is a reasonable move, supposing they give them the budget a proper game needs.
I don't think anyone needs an answer to Killer Instinct. It's not exactly doing gangbusters.
I wonder how far away it is?
Sort of interested. At least the art's cool.
Oh, Eurogamer. You valueless hype factory, you. Wait until E3 actually happens before declaring this.

Not quite, but they're leagues ahead of every other western developer. Bioware still haven't quite grasped what humans look like; you'd think the studio was full of aliens or something.
Lots of crossovers amongst indies and Kickstarters. It feels less unique and interesting each time.
It's still in a process of maturation and older folks'll continue to look down on it, but all things considered? We've come a long way since MLG's cringeworthy Halo championships.
Capcom and their nonsense tests. Little surprise they're on the brink of going out of business.
The audience you need to make a game analogous to Titanic (the movie) far exceeds the pull of any individual platform, and no one has grasped how to nail the kind of mass appeal you'd need to get that audience. If you're talking the sales and money side, anyway.
In terms of quality, well, see the Plinkett video.
Discrimination of the basis of ethnicity is a form of racism (see: attitudes towards Polish immigrants through out the EU). Discrimination based on skin colour being the necessary component of racism is a conception unique to America, born of her slave-owning past.
"Prejudice + Power" as a definition is, of course, completely useless when not describing institutional forms of discrimination.
Only if they manage to right their ship. Capcom has been circling the drain for a while. Inafune's bad ideas cost them a lot of money.
Sony been stomping MS for a while, seems like. It would be preferable for the competition to be closer in order to force the 1st parties to try harder with exclusives.
You can buy a lot of the games on the service for those prices.
They don't like that they're losing their place in the sun to other developers. I imagine the pressure on the Dragon Age team post Skyrim was immense.
Two games and an HD collection is "a whole heap"? I can't imagine what you make of something like Assassin's Creed, then. I appreciate that it probably seemed like we kept hearing and hearing about DmC on account of gaming press going to bat for Ninja Theory, but in truth they don't put a lot of these games out.
Platinum would be the best choice of developer if you have to outsource it, and NT made sure the bar is set very, very low.
Yes and no. Stuff like 999 and Danganronpa might be good, but I don't think they've really proven themselves in the JRPG arena yet (Conception amounted to very little, after all).
If there's any one studio I would never trust to depict mental illness, it's Ninja Theory. "We got people in" is what Hollywood doubtless allege about their historical advisers.
I can't decide if people actually make this mistake or if it's just a massively overplayed joke.
Gust deserve more respect than that.
