She already died, though. FFVII already happened, this is a new reality, a sequel, that is, admittedly, setting up for her death from the beggining (Cloud has a vision of her dying the moment he sees her, she says to him "do not fall in love with me" and "everyone dies eventually"), they can either follow through with it or not, in any case the elimination of the fates is hinting that ANYTHING is game now, including Zack being alive. We have to wait and see.
I think you’re overblowing the issue. I don’t think most players care about this…
I know this is mostly a non-issue for gamers and all, but man... I still don't get why they changed Peter's face. Seeing a lot of games with the motion capture actors completely different from the characters' models in-game, and with great performances to boot, makes me believe there are other decisions behind these recasts. Maybe more commercial appeal, IDK.
"So they could just buy up 3-5 smaller publishers".
This is actually not bad, tho. Smaller studios thrive on small projects, if they get backed by a big company, they can, more often than not, prosper. This is what publisher are and do. Small studios will always appear and come by on droves and overnight, big publishers with huge marketshares... nope.
To be fair, Sega kinda killed itself, tho. So much mismanagement... It's really baffling.
Not really, because if this was reversed, Sony would be Microsoft.
Congrats! Good game (creative, nice art direction, world building, great characters) and very deserving, even though others probably deserve more.
More NFTs. YAY!
Agreed. Nothing against a fantasy game based on reality, go nuts in it with whatever suits your needs. But if you go for a game just based on reality and real events and issues, it’s almost a disservice to portray reality as anything but.
Basically. I was about to play the final DLC for RE8 and there were several spoilery articles here talking about Ethan appearing, not showing his face, that his daughter keeps her powers... No outrage whatsoever, but when it's something that presses their buttons, they cry for moderation...
Every game has contrived writing.
That's OK. Protagonists can change and characters can die.
Great game! Loved it.
Yep, I'm reading this all around: great DLC for fans and good ending for Village, but for anyone else, should be a pass.
@CrimsonWing69 This is getting a bit tiresome, and I’m noticing you are getting a bit flustered, so let’s just keep it simple.
Yes, Bayonetta is a high profile game.
You can lower development costs while paying your talent what they deserve, this is not an excuse.
Regarding the Neve Campbell debate you decided to bring on about: the situation is not at all applicable here, there are several factors ranging from type of role, star power,...
@CrimsonWing69 Again, you don't seem to be reading what I'm saying or are deliberately twisting things into straw men arguments.
Bayonetta is a high profile project, yes. We don't calculate high profile projects on the actual budget of the project (you seem to mix these two concepts), but the actual potential income and market value it has. Bayonetta has a huge potential profit margin for Platinum and Nintendo, specially for being, as you put it, an AA project w...
@CrimsonWing69 You seem confused or want to get into a straw man debate, which I rather not humor and actually get back into the topic at hand: I never said she is a high profile actress, I said this is a high profile project, to which she should be payed the equivalent to a high profile job. Let's ditch the Brad Pitt example for arguments sake. Even a C- Hollywood actor with no-name would be payed more than his average indie movie for the equivalent starring role in a blockbuster flick f...
@Loktai Like I said, by the hour is *the staple* nowadays. It's how voice actors make their living.
@CrimsonWing69 Sorry to butt in, but if you think that 4k for 4 days of voice work for a high profile job with a big client is "good enough", you are seriously out of tune with the industry and should refrain from commenting things you do not understand or know about.
Voice actors get payed for the hour, not for "a day's work". This is already wrong right there. This is the staple. While the "tomorrow guy" may accept getting payed 40$ an ho...
That was already done somewhat with Sheik, though. But people weren't so sensiitive about these things back then, things just were. Oh, I miss those times. Now America is obsessed with race and gender.
