Alex Hutchinson, former creative director at Ubisoft Montreal who has worked in triple-A games like Far Cry 4 and Assassin’s Creed 3, claimed that pretty much all online shooters will feature a battle-royale mode within a year.
Cord Smith, the former director of marketing for Compulsion Games' well-known title We Happy Few, has gone through quite a change since leaving the studio. This is represented by his new indie platformer Always In Mind, which takes players into a bizarre dream world full of fantasies inside the head of a little boy named Teddy. Sector got the chance to ask the industry veteran a few questions about his inspirations for the game.
Wccftech joined a press roundtable Q&A with Blizzard to learn more about The War Within, World of Warcraft's tenth expansion that is now in Alpha.
Devstream 178 was filled with so many cool announcements for the game's community, and were able to ask a lot of questions about Warframe: 1999 and more!
If it fits and actually suits the game, fine. But don't just shoehorn BR into everything. Remember when every game got a tacked-on multiplayer mode? It didn't work then either.
I see shooters maybe going the route of Darwin Project, where it's a smaller scale BR. COD isn't doing 100-player BR at 60fps. Battlefield won't be able to do that either.
Here we go again... every few years we get these popular genres and everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon for easy money.
So according to past predictions, every game on the phones (since they completely killed off consoles and the PC) will have a free to play BR mode. Feel free to add other past "predictions".
This is very stupid but publishers want to cash in on this wave and they know that most brain dead gamers will follow unfortunately.
Some online shooters just simply aren't made for a good/enjoyable BR mode...
