Forbes - "BioWare has lost its Head of Live Service, as Chad Robertson has just left the studio after 14 years. He was last seen running Anthem's live content."
'As long as this company's my responsibility, I would not let that happen.'
Hidetaka Miyazaki describes FromSoftware's relationship with parent company Kadokawa and references Satoru Iwata's perspective on layoffs.
As it should be. At this rate the Western side of the industry will crash and we may yet see the resurgence of Japanese gaming development. Really miss the PS1 days. No bloated budgets, diverse games and many IPs that exist today are from that era. Perhaps the industry does need a reset.
We need more Satoru Iwata type game CEOs in this industry. Phil Spencer that piece of shit will never be the CEO that Iwata was.
According to Housemarque, Returnal marks the beginning of a "new future" at the studio, and is the game that them to join Sony.
Returnal was fantastic, and I'm looking forward to seeing what these folks create with Sony in the future.
Ithas been my favorite experience of this generation so far I think. Can't wait to see what Housemarque is working on now.
They make some fun arcade styles games. Returnal is one of the best games so far this generation. I wonder what is next
returnal is easily one of the most underrated games this gen. a lot of people with ps5s dont know it exists.
For free? 12 months of PS Plus Extra costs 130 € and Premium is 160 €.
Where I live you can buy Returnal for as little as 15 € if you buy it used. Even at full price it is nowhere near the cost of PS Plus Extra or Premium.
So how on earth can you se that it exists for free if you subscribe to those paid subscription services?
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think “Returnal” is perfectly rated. The restart mechanic is not the most fun for everyone.
Yeah, I think the Tower of Sisyphus would have addressed this somewhat if it had been in the game earlier. The gameplay is great, but I sometimes chose to play other things when I didn't want to commit to a run (particularly before they added the save feature). The tower provided a way to have fun with the arcade gameplay without investing in a full run, which was nice, and felt in line with their prior games.
During Summer Games Fest last week, I frequently asked our friends in the games media what they've seen or played that's impressed them. We don't get to play as much as we'd like at GamesIndustry.biz, and so it's useful intel to hear what the journalists think.
In almost every conversation, one game would come up again and again: Astro Bot.
First game I’ve been this excited for since the launch of PS5. Can’t wait!
So Anthem is officially dead then?
Well deader then it was anyway if that was possible.
That's like shooting a long-dead corpse then burning it. Sounds like Evil within.
Well EA did say they would be going all in on DA4 but honestly I’ve got no hope for that game either.
This is the first and last time I get burnt $60 by a game. What a disappointment..
