Haden Blackman has many accomplishments to his name. He is an award-winning writer and producer with a long list of stories. He was the Co-president and CCO of Fearless Studios after spending some time at LucasArts, where he led the development of The Force Unleashed—an award-winning and best-selling game. Now as General Manager at Kabam, he helps bring many more games to life.
Hangar 13 president and chief creative officer Haden Blackman looks to the past of the Mafia series as it builds towards its future.
Even though they messed up the remaster of Mafia 2 and the "remaster" of Mafia 3, I'm really looking forward to this. I built a new gaming pc just to run this properly, all the way back in 2002. I just loved it. And now I get to see it reimagined. It has been one of my dream remakes for years, and now it's actually happening. Better not mess this one up too!
Disney fans may love this as it does sound interesting. Get ready to fight foes in an alternate reality filled with beloved Disney and Pixar characters! Today, Disney and Kabam revealed Disney Mirrorverse, an all-new Action Role-Playing Game RPG for mobile devices.
Such a waste. I wish mobile started charging regular pricing and got rid of microtransactions.
@NecrumOddBoy That's how mobile gaming used to be. It was very hard to find games for legitimately free. Usually the best you got was a separate demo version, but most stuff was paid. It was overall cheaper, usually (aside from Square-Enix's offerings), but $1-$5 games reigned supreme.
And then Satan got a hold of the market, publishers noticed the spending habits of consumers on the mobile marketplace were changing, and they leaned into it HARD.
Super Mario Run is a good example of how premium up-front pricing just isn't as viable nowadays. Nintendo tried it out, but clearly the freemium model has been much more lucrative for them.
I have seen some that have the frequent adds and they should do like Hulu, add free is one price and with adds is another. Problem is you know this will be loaded with cosmetic and character skins for sale.
Another merger today as mobile developer Kabam has purchased Riposte Games.
