Tracing the history of Naughty Dog's pop culture phenomenon, from the video game's 2013 debut to its adaptation as an HBO series 10 years later.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth publisher Square Enix has declared a $140m loss based on a shakeup of its internal development pipeline.
What are they doing over there? Sounds like they canceled something big. I read a rumor a while back about ff9 remake . Here "Final Fantasy IX has gone through a very challenging development, the game is still in progress but may undergo changes drastic enough that we won't hear about it for a couple of years."
This could be one of the reasons if the rumor is true. That was Silknight i don't know how credible he is but it's something and it would make sense.
The industry implosion is continuing. Sky high budgets, prolonged development windows, stagnant sales numbers, and falling currency values (inflation) are wreaking havoc on the legacy industry. AAA games will slowly become the rarity.
Danish from eXputer: "The Witcher's upcoming sequel needs to overhaul the series' combat system if it wants to make a big splash among gamers."
after what we see ( 2015 - 2024 ) in dark souls 3, blood borne , sekiro , dragon's dogma 2 , rise of the Ronin combat they should really careful and bring very good combat in Witcher 4 this time
Saad from eXputer: "After suffering from massive financial hits, Square Enix & Bandai Namco appear to be turning over a new leaf but I'm still unconvinced."
I was talking about games with some Japanese guys here in Japan, and it seems like around here Bandai Namco has a fame of making low-quality games, with the occasional gem.
About Square Enix, I believe they lack the capacity to improve. They should learn with Capcom (although even Capcom still makes some bad mistakes), but I don't think they ever will. They keep chasing whatever is new at the time (blockchain, AI...) to say "we innovate", without considering the public perception and if these things actually improve the games or not. Them releasing too many small games with no advertising also shows a lack of trust in its own products. Even with their biggest games, like turning FF into an action game with XVI and the very divisive plot changes regarding whispers and timelines in VII Remake, shows them trying to attract a new generation of gamers without understanding what made the series so big in the first place.
I don’t know why NOW they decide on this, but I guess later is better than never.
Sounds like the HBO series is doing great. 2nd biggest launch ever and the reviews - whether critics or viewers - are astonishingly positive. I did not see this coming, but I'm glad!
LOVED. THIS. GAME.
The show looks set to be awesome. Only got to see half of the first episode, but it was great. I was watching with my gf and I tried so hard not to spoil anything for her.
When she saw Joel’s daughter, she was like “is that how her hair looked in the game” I was like… crickets
You know what? I liked the adaptation.
I don’t care for the actor choices of Ellie and Tess. Not a big deal and maybe it is just me . Ellie seemed more like a gentler kid in the game and this girl seems like a killer . The show is well done though and people seem to love it but I prefer the game personally. Tess in the show looks much more worn down than the game. It seems to be a hit as I heard local sports show people talking about on the radio
Do you even know what an empire is? You mean franchise. Didn't bother reading because the author didn't bother getting an education.
