During the Giant Bomb’s E3 stream, Phil Spencer returned to talk on the topic of VR, confirming once again their enthusiasm for the technology.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
"The company was unable to focus enough on its main hope"
Nope. Going back to the 32X as the reason Sega lost that generation doesn't go back far enough before the Saturn.
Sega executives need to blame themselves as to why Sega lost that generation. Not Saturn. Not 32X. Not Sega CD. Nope. Executives were the reason why. It wasn't the hardware. Those devices were either dropped early or released to soon resulting in a developer backlash the hurt the game catalog. They really shouldn't have been made at all because they should have planned their next move more carefully. It has nothing to do with the devices. Poor leadership decisions and lack of unity within the company are what happened.
Love how blame is always shifted away from what is the truth. Writing a book placing the blame on the 32X isn't the truth.
Chris D. Spoke with the Chiodo Brothers at PAX East about Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game and their Career.
Of Course, because Phil says so./s N4G is becoming the Phil says website.
“We’re probably a few years away from it being able to really work ON XBOX”
Fixed.
VR hardly seems to be living up to the hype at all. I expected a fair few killer apps but it looks like its been relegated to minigames with the exception of some third party titles like RE7.
Shame really. I expected it to make some big waves.
I'm glad they didn't think that way back in the day with just console games. Look it's new tech, just like the early days of gaming it will mature and evolve.
As of right now, as a PSVR owner, VR adds so much to the experience granted I've only played REZ, Batman, and RE7.
The experiences were incredible. I just don't want this treated like the Kinect. Since it's more of a visual/audio immersive experience rather than a gimmick like motion controls it has far more potential as virtually any game can use it rather than something that has to be an after thought.
I think Phil is close to a mental breakdown, lately he's saying the most stupidest stuff ever, it's not going well, something is getting to him, wonder what it is....
