I have to confess that when my good friend Thomas passed on the information for this game to me, I was not all that excited. As I read on and did my own research, I became more and more interested. Add the awesome screenshots and tech details and that was it, I was captivated. Cyanide Studio is starting the year off with a bang!
The rumor of Concord's budget was at $400M has been debunked by games media personnel, as the game didn't even get above-the-line marketing.
People will continue to make up absurd things about concord just like i predicted. I didn't believe that game costs anywhere close to half a billion dollars but people will continue to pile on because they were truly hurt by the production of this game that I thought was a good game. The developers had the audacity to make a good game semi-similar to other games with character models not seen before with gender pronouns.
Doesn’t seem like a debunk to me. Chris Dring, a known sony fanboy gave his opinion.
His opinion is also incorrect - plenty of games cost more $400m or more.
Films like Avatar cost 300 million
This is a game with 12 small levels and 16 characters
No way their small cut scenes added 300 mill to the price .
TNS: "Palworld developer's readiness to take on Nintendo's lawsuit is met with a mixed response -- mostly from the Japanese side of the player base."
Well, the good news is that this shows Japanese Twitter users are just as dumb as Western ones. It’s not a copyright-based lawsuit; if it were, things wouldn’t be as dire and concerning as they are. Nintendo is suing them for patent infringement, which should be a huge red flag for anyone who enjoys gaming, as Nintendo holds numerous patents over game mechanics that could significantly impact the market if they start enforcing them.
Seriously, they hold patents for features like fast travel and summoning companions or creatures to help you battle enemies. That’s the level of nonsense we’re dealing with here. So even if you’re a huge Nintendo b*tch, if you care about gaming at all, you shouldn’t be happy - let alone support them in this situation.
I honestly hope this lawsuit just gets thrown out of court, having a patent on game mechanics just shouldn't be a thing, especially when those mechanics are present in many games. If this goes through, imagine the hell on earth we'd go through as everyone starts tossing lawsuits around like missiles.
Sure, they are suing for patent, but it all started because pocketpair copy pokemon designs, otherwise Nintendo couldn't care less.
Nintendo decided that the Palworld developers needed to be sued. Realized they had no case for copyright infringement so went into their bag of tricks (patents) to see what they could stick em with.
I do think Nintendo needs to chill on some smaller projects, but in this case, it is a company purposely copying pokemon designs and promoting it as Pokemon with guns, then sell it for money and even try to sell merchandises (according to the articles), I don't think that is acceptable.
And sure, disagree with me, so you can act like you fight for the small guys and feel awesome or whatever.
Oh look another one who just THINKS they know what the issue is without actually reading into what is actually happening. Maybe read and come back so you can actually be up to speed on what the lawsuit is even about.
This lawsuit is really putting into perspective just how little people actually read the news. They just read headlines and fill in the rest with their own assumptions. This is why short form content is becoming so popular. People only have the mental capacity to digest bite sized pieces of information.
"it is a company purposely copying pokemon designs and promoting it as Pokemon with guns"
This entire statement is false.
You appear to not know the difference between copyright or patent.
You might feel that ripping off pokeman is not ok, but they are legally in the clear on that which is why Nintendo are not able to take legal action under copyright law.
Trying to sue them based on patent law however is rediculous, you absolutely should never be allowed to patent game mechanics like nintendo have with things like 'fast travel' and i hope they make very little headway with this. If you care abiut the future of this business, you would acknowledge the difference and not be shilling for Nintendo.
We're not going to beat around the bush here: This game rips. Shogun Showdown brings strategic planning to 2D roguelike action.
