GameDynamo - Blizzard's Josh Mosqueira, formerly the lead designer for Diablo III, has just received a promotion. Blizzard today took to Twitter to announce that Mosqueira is now Diablo III's game director.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
Speaking at SXSW Sydney, Mike Morhaime shared some insight into his departure from Blizzard Entertainment, the company he co-founded.
“There’s this great Steve Jobs quote I love: If you keep your eye on the profit, you’re going to skimp on the product. But if you keep your eye on the product, the profit will follow, and I really believe that,” Morhaime explained.
I think that basically explains the problem with Blizzard now and clearly goes against high level execs who couldn't give a toss about the games.
Samwise Didier, the legendary art director who helped define Blizzard's art style and is even credited with coining the name "Warcraft" is retiring after 32 years.
Must be something bad happening at MS (going by someone's obscure observation) right guys ? Surely ?
Make someone the game director that knows how to fix the game...
I was kinda hoping Travis Day would take the helm, oh well hope this guy knows what he is in for lol.
