French adventure game developer Microïds have been in the adventure game business for a while and they’re still going strong. One of their most well-known series, Syberia, had its second entry back in 2004. Now, nine years later at E3, Microïds showed off gameplay straight from the latest entry in the Syberia story with Syberia 3. Set only one month after the events of Syberia II, Syberia 3 sees series protagonist Kate Walker holed up in a hospital in Valsamborg that won’t let her leave. With the primary objective of aiding her nomad friends, the Youkol, on their seasonal journey to the sacred steppes, Kate gets mixed up with an alarming amount of truly hateful people whose only objective seems to be putting an end to her Youkol friends. Microïds also went on to demo their upcoming racer Moto Racer 4 and the dark intricacies of the immortal story in Yesterday Origins.
Music to our ears.
“There is a lot of talk about A.I., for example. When that happens, everyone starts to go in the same direction, but that is where Nintendo would rather go in a different direction."
Good on Nintendo for not chasing the next big thing.
Always? I feel the last time off the top of my head that they were innovative was the 3DS/Wii era. They are very successful at what they do but I wouldn't say they are as innovative as they used to be.
LOL simply because they don't want to invest in it and stick to their outdated approach. See the next pokemon game on Switch 2 will look like something that should come out during the PS3 gen
So a custom art style vs GTA trilogy style mistakes through their games
I'll take the art style thanks
“I would like to say that there’s a lot of space for very high quality games," says Yves Guillemot.
" very high quality "
That's only true for one of the two though, and we all know which one that'll be.
I promise, only one of them will.
And it's the one that is the better franchise and respects the historical context of the region.
Dude’s getting the sweat because star wars outlaws underperformed, and that’s with far smaller controversy compared to AC shadows.
Well of course, but AC: Shadows will be on more platforms so I would expect it to sell more than Ghost.
