Once a hot bed for block buster video game development, the city of Vancouver is now a shadow of its former self. With most large Canadian developers moving East, what exactly happened and what does the future hold for the British Columbia development scene?
In a recent interview, the producer of Radical Entertainment’s cult-classic Simpsons game, The Simpsons: Hit & Run, spoke on the possibility of a remake or remaster.
I would love to see it, but EA owns the rights to Simpsons games, and they have done nothing with it for years now, so I can't see it happening. They own the license still for one reason, to keep making money from that crappy mobile game (probably the only reason why they got hold of the licence in the first place)
In all honesty, I would rather not have a remake at all with EA in charge. I would much rather see it in the hands of any other company before that happened.
If they did remaster the game it would be censored by idiotic sjws. The Indian man we loved from the show Apu Nahasapeemapetilon would be ripped out of the game so fast.
Don't forget making a lot of female characters playable and independent and act masculine and makes Bart and Homer sissies.
I had ran Hit and Run on PC last month on emulator, it did really aged well, cell shaded really can live two generations. Just like Dark Cloud 2. A proper remastered version would be awesome then a sequel.
The game has aged so well and is a great time. Boggles my mind how EA haven't seen the potential in reviving the series
Playing as a kid in a video-game can offer up a different perspective and narrative. Here is Twinfinite's list of the 7 best video-games where you play as a kid.
Many series of video games are getting numerous sequels. GameBuz wanted to look back at some games that never got a sequel that many gamers remember with fondness.
Both the video games industry and the movie industry are loyal to nobody. Taxes in B.C. are very low, but Ontario is providing both of these industries with even lower taxes, so they've packed their bags and moved east.
The only loyal game company in the Vancouver area is EA, and its because they've built a massive campus here, and so they have made an investment in the community unlike other development studios.
And as far as the movie industry goes, they'll move in any direction that the wind blows. They're a very mobile industry, they invest very little in terms of infrastructure, and they pay very little in taxes, so I say don't let the door hit your collective asses on the way out.
...well put BattleAxe. Slowed down a lot here.
