The more real game characters look, the less you identify with them. So maybe that’s why the firms that produce them are allowing you to design your own
A gorgeous real-world Miraidon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been created in Japan by the Toyota Engineering Society.
JDR thinks the gaming industry needs more licensed IPs. It's basically a cry for Firefly: The Game, and why not? JDR delves deeper into why more isn't adapted for the interactive screen.
Nah. Video games are their own thing they wouldn't be improved by leeching off Hollywood more.
Read the article and it gives no mention of the many problems prevalent with licensed IPs, such as games and dlc being delisted when their licenses expire, Adult Swim games being the most recent example.
Only if they're good, if its going to be a 2D sprite art game, you can get away with a small team and small budget. But if you're going to make it a 3D polygonal game, you're going to need a large team with a large budget, and often times these licensed games are quickly pushed out the door, unpolished, rough, boring, bland, snorefest at best, and downright broken at worst.
We have an Indiana Jones and James Bond game currently being developed by two veteran teams with I assume fairly sizeable budgets. Let's hope they turn out to be worthwhile.
A new Mad Max game to coincide with the upcoming film would have been awesome. I loved the first game, I'm guessing it didn't sell too well as they never bothered following it up.
"The Game Music Foundation are today very proud and pleased to announce an additional concert, circling back to the roots of Game Muisic Festival in Poland.

It really all depends on the game when it comes to what works and what doesn't for the realistic look imo.
I dunno. The girls from Dead or Alive 5: The Last Round are a lot more appealing than the original Dead or Alive game. In the future there may be a point where we can't distinguish a video game character from real life but that would come down to AI as well as life-like graphics etc.
Yeah It depends, I think video game characters that are less realistic seem to be more charming and easier to like in comparison.
I have to disagree with the article. I like Joel, Ellie, Drake, Sully, and a whole host of other realistic characters, and identify with them more than say... Sackboy.
Not true for me.
