XLOC’s president and co-founder Stephanie O’Malley Deming just wrapped working with Activision on a very high profile game coming out this holiday. “That end-of-the-project push is so exciting and exhilarating. For a game of that size, there are so many loose ends to wrap up. From a production perspective, you need to be quick, focused and on-point. It’s truly a worldwide team effort“ says Deming. She sat down with Gamesauce to discuss the importance of localization and her process in her work at XLOC, Activision’s latest title, and the games industry overall.
Hey Poor Player's James Davie Takes Us On A Bio-Shocking Deep Dive Into Irrational Games' Nautical Nightmare.
Gareth, Justin, and Michael at Skewed and Reviewed look at timely and topical entertainment news on their latest show including the latest video game movie and news of another in the works.
The movie was absolutely garbage !!!
BH needs to do better - since Halloween Ends - Exorcist , Freddy is Shyte - STOP IT !!!!
Dead Space recently received a popular remake that was faithful yet constructive, and the original BioShock is also deserving of this treatment.
No it doesn't need it. It was remastered in 60 fps last gen and still looks and plays great. Would be a waste of time, money and resources imo. It's games from 3 or 4 gens back that could use the remake treatment.
The games that need remaking are.
Resistance fall of man.
Motorstorm.
PS5 would produce something special.
There's been such an advancement in tech since the PS3 days. It would be awesome. DAY 1 BUY for me.
I would love this
Expand on the lore
Incorporate Bioshock Infinite and Bioshock 2 plot lines
Add room rooms or maybe even an extra area
Maybe new plasmids
Give Jack a personality and add voice acting, it worked for Isaac. Jack did speak at the start of the game so adding onto that and giving him convos between Atlas or Ryan would be great
Man could you imagine what bioshock would look like in ue5 with full raytracing, phwaaarrrhh.
when you have 2 billion dollar frabchises in wow/cod
than why not take some risks with other IPs every game can not and will not sell even half of those numbers.
GUN was a game published by activision and made by neversoft it was a good game and now they have read dead's plan ahead of them why not work on a sequel?
prototype 2 should be using a better engine like the new ID engine but no let's take 3 years but still make the same crappy game.
keep making COD games i was at gamestop 2 kids under the age of 10 walk in ask their parents for COD/halo reach and both got them. i hope one day those games will stop producing a billion dollars every time. IF the next COD game is same old same old believe me gaming media will turn on it there were some complain already with black-ops that it is the same with very little new features
but the only way that acti will learn if that game doesn't sell and i don't expect that to be the case for atleast 2-3 more COD games
... it usually means just cutting a game and dumbing it down for a new audience. Most of which don't even want a dumbed down game.
As far as I'm concerned, localisation shouldn't go any further than just some subtitles. No cuts. No horrible dub. No changing the soundtrack.
