When Xbox head Phil Spencer sat down with Motiga CEO Chris Chung for the first time, he was fighting an uphill battle to convince the tiny Bellevue video game company to launch its first game on Windows.
Available right now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation and PC is the Construction Simulator - Liebherr Pack.
Stellar Blade's creative director, Hyung Tae Kim, has also claimed that the game is deeply inspired by Nier: Automata.
I feel like Yoko is downgrading Automata because he has expressed multiple times he'd like to revisit the universe, but Squenix hasn't been keen about it. We know he loves 2B and would love to take her out for another spin, so maybe this is how he gets the company to think about it.
I get he's giving them some credit, but i strongly disagree based on the demo. I honestly don't think any aspect of it feels good, it's not bad, it's just kinda ok but definitely a little jank. Also the souls like formula it is adopting does not help it imo. I was looking forward to this for years, now im just kinda let down honestly 🫤
Man exputer can you stop putting words like that after someone's name, i read Yoko Taro Passes and just went blank
(From the demo) Stellar has better direction in terms of stage layout if you like that ninja gaiden type feel. Nier is more polished by far.
Last year around this time alone MS was struggling hard to get anything going.
Its a process get the bad ones out of the Xbox division, and the good ones in.
Just last year MS would be lucky to land any sort of indie game on the console.
A year later indie games get announced weekly if not on the daily basis's now.
Now that's a 180.
Ever since Phil came along the Xbox brand has gotten a lot better. Could be coincidence but the guy just comes across as a cool dude and someone who actually games. So I am happy for Xbox and all the people who have a Xbox. Game on brothers :)
M$ lost me at xbox360, not going back in this gen.
