Alex & Mike talk Biomutant, a game from Experiment 101/THQ Nordiq you likely have not heard of. While the AAA side of the industry tends to homogenization and imitative, cinematic presentation, “AA” games remain creative and innovative in 2021. Drawing on inspirations as varied as Dark Souls, third person shooters & kung fu cinema, Biomutant is Ratchet & Clank on acid, developed by a team of 20 people.
"Vigil Games may not be around anymore but their 2 Darksiders games really raised the bar for 3D action adventure games. Let's take a look at both titles' gameplay and worlds and see which one emerges victorious." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Darksiders 1 is a complete game but it’s obvious with Darksiders 2 they ran out of budget after the Ice world and the game just becomes a poorly paced mess.
Remember THQ? They published such games as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Darksiders I & II, the Destroy All Humans series, Homefront, the Red Faction series, and Saint's Row 1-3. Almost as famous as their games were the THQ marketing stunts, including a Golden Wii.
Oh gosh that is very terrible about the mmo being changed into a single player with online portions.
I guess im selfish as well because I'm really concerned about dark siders 2 I hope it gets out soon without a hitch thanks for the news :)
It's sad to see any company have to lay-off employee's and when it starts to effect game development it's a problem
we need to really support our devs :)
Another hundred people just lost their jobs.
Ugh. I saw this happening, and it's both sad and ironic- it seems a lack of risk taking proved to be the biggest risk of all.
I'm good long as these two games aren't in jeopardy
