OPM: Interesting Mike Bithell fact: he was part of the Dead To Rights Retribution dev team – the game with the dog – and was actually there when the term, ‘testikills’ was coined. “There was like 2 minutes of high fives,” he admitted, “followed by ‘what have we added to the world by this?’”
Nathan Grayson writes: "Depending on where you’re standing, the video game industry is in a state of caterpillar-like transformation into something new or a full-on crisis. Funding is scarce. Companies are rife with mismanagement. If a big game flops, execs often ensure that it takes entire studios with it. But perhaps, some observers have suggested, this is merely a course correction. Last year was a goldmine of breakout indie hits like Balatro, Manor Lords, Palworld, Animal Well, and 1000xResist; maybe it’s time for the meek to inherit the industry. Problem is, indies need money, too – a lot more than you might think. On the latest episode of You Are Error, we discuss that not-so-little stumbling block and how one of gaming’s foundational myths, the solo indie dev, helped get us here."
If Mike Bithell could make any other film game in the same formula of John Wick Hex what would it be?... It would be Bond. James Bond... Hex
I don't think these characters really fit this kind of gameplay
I'd love a great John Wick game or James Bond but they'd have to be full on action adventure story shooters, third person for John Wick and either third or first for James Bond.
when i see games that look like this, i think about my childhood then be like it's 2020. smh
Even with the game out now, this chat with Mike Bithell remains an intriguing retrospective on John Wick Hex's development and the creative process behind it.
Surprised this isn't on Switch same day as other consoles. Perfect machine for this type of game.
As long as it has Danny Wallace narrating again I'm game
