With more and more fast food chains doing video game related marketing programs, Skewed and Reviewed have posted an opinion piece asking where the same crusaders who were so against animated films being used in Happy Meals are when it comes to the health of gamers.
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. On April 28th, 2024, the National Forum of Music in Wroclaw will once again become a place to celebrate the art of video game music, featuring scores from The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II." - The Game Music Foundation.
It is a bit strange, indeed. Though I don't concern myself too much with such things.
because if a person were to be outraged over marketing they would spend their entire life screaming themselves hoarse at inanimate objects. Why does the author expect that people should be outraged at such things?
It is funny... gamer's whine and complain about advertising in games all the time. How dare they advertise stuff in my game! We hear it all the time... OMGZ they put bill boards of real things in this game or that... yet there is less than a peep about gaming advertising all over in our real world fast food places or cheesy promo commercials using in game assets. Some how that is all OK in our eyes. Its hypocritical to a comical level.
Because there's way more important things going on... you know like that fake tanned, racist asshat who apparently has a chance at running your country.
For the record, Canada will totally take all you amazing, non-racist super rad people who feel the need to escape should that happen. WE GOT NOTHIN' BUT LOVE FOR Y'ALL! :p
What the hell you think most gamer eat when playing? They are chopping on a piece of kale?
Disney movies aimed at tots and pushing McDonald is not hard to see why parents get upset. But their is this mindset that gaming is not just for the 8 and below. And that most gamer are in their teens and up, (which also they are the ones doing the buying) and at a point that most parents cant tell em what to eat.
