Following recent controversy over the dominance of violence in mainstream games, and continued allegations of rampant sexism, Mark Butler asks whether we should be prepared to take these criticisms more seriously.
"The Game Music Foundation are today very proud and pleased to announce an additional concert, circling back to the roots of Game Muisic Festival in Poland. On April 28th, 2024, the National Forum of Music in Wroclaw will once again become a place to celebrate the art of video game music, featuring scores from The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II." - The Game Music Foundation.
Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."
They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.
All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.
What a waste of time and money, what a shame.
Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.
TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…
This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
I like to play both violent and non violent games and will continue to do so until the day i stop gaming....People who can't stand violence that's cool but don't tell others what we should and shouldn't be enjoying within our games...
I don't think gaming needs to grow up any more than films, whilst there are plenty of heavily sexualised games like Lollipop Chainsaw there are several other 'mature' experiences to be found.
Do people need to grow up(and accept all type of legal products and not judging them as a whole)?
I believe it's just a problem of people not accepting videogames are not only child and teen entertainment anymore, so you have more freedom.
No, stuffy boring people need to just fuck off of our hobby and stop trying to dictate the course of the industry.
Games don't need to 'grow up' (perspective of maturity seems to be subjective anyway), the writing just needs to get better.
since I didn't see any news on the rumored "put a gun to your head and play me" game.. I think we just need an environment that will promote developers to make any type of game they want and we as the consumers will buy whatever it is we want.
