Her face looks longer to me. I assume they’re trying to make her look more like a real person.




It was a bad generation with the chip shortage and ballooning development costs.

I’ll wait and see how the next gen goes before making any judgments



“Our last game didn’t sell like expected so now you’re all going to have to remake our most popular game because I need a guaranteed hit or this job isn’t worth it to me”

  • C-Level


Imagine if Microsoft could have reached into your Banjo Katwoee cartridge and replaced it with Nuts and Bolts



I remember Dead Rising as being the first game that I could not read the text on the screen because I was using an old CRT television



Ubisoft made some of my favorite games as a kid. Real shane shitty management and a culture of sexual harassment have ruined their legacy






Worried your hundreds of millions of dollars of development costs won’t result in a hit? Just keep remaking games that were already successful over and over again.

Business is so e z


Really wanted this on my iPad but got it on the switch instead.


Starfield had a crippling issue that they made the wrong decision at the very start of development — thousands of procedural generated planets instead of a dozen hand-crafted planets.

If they hadn’t made that mistake than Starfield would have been a hit.





I honestly think the reaction is incredibly fair and generous to him. What he did was pretty scummy. Now he gets to go be rich by himself and live a comfortable quiet life.


There is legality and then there is morality.

We’re not throwing him in prison, so there is nothing legal going on.

His behaviour was morally wrong though, and puts every brand associated with him in a bad light. I would never want to be associated with a man in his 40s (presumably married) trying to fuck teenagers.



Mm, GTA III’s protagonist was basically on a conveyor belt going wherever the last person to talk to him sent him.



That’s what they always used to say to Chris Hansen when he’d confront them about the texts


In Origins there is a lot of grimdark stuff. Women taken into the tunnels and turned into unwilling broodmares that you need to murder


That’s exactly what I was thinking. If they can teach an AI to play GO, Civilization should be easy.


My only request would be the same it’s always been: harder difficulties make the NPCs play better instead of just giving them bonus resources so they have amazing starts you have to rush to overcome.


Honestly, I think you could fix that game but it involves making the jetpack the focus of exploration and combat.


World of Warcraft and Elder Scrolls Online subscription rolled into Gamepass to convert mmo players into Gamepass subscribers.

Diablo 5: Sold individually at launch but accessing new seasons require Gamepass. Same with CoD.

Minecraft Base Game F2P and packaged with every Windows OS. Full game with updates and multiplayer require Gamepass subscription though.



I was just thinking about the fun I had in the old spy vs mercenary matches in Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.

I doubt I’ll ever see an online experience like that again.


Everyone set way too ambitious targets post-covid, they don’t want to admit that because it makes it look like the c-levels are clueless idiots


Jordan Adams is the Development Director at Electronic Arts (EA) working on the Plants vs. Zombies mobile game franchise. According to reports, EA conducted an internal investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against Adams over a 2.5 month period.[1][3][4][5] The investigation found that Adams had video called female co-workers and performed lewd acts on himself, sent them pornographic videos, and made explicit references in EA’s Slack conversations.[1][3][5] Despite the findings, EA reportedly closed the investigation, citing that the events occurred outside of work between consenting adults, and that Adams did not repeat the behavior once the investigation began.[1][3][5] However, the victims still had to work with Adams after the investigation concluded.[1][3][5]
