An interview with the Senior Level Designer of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3.
Danish from eXputer: "The Witcher's upcoming sequel needs to overhaul the series' combat system if it wants to make a big splash among gamers."
Saad from eXputer: "After suffering from massive financial hits, Square Enix & Bandai Namco appear to be turning over a new leaf but I'm still unconvinced."
I was talking about games with some Japanese guys here in Japan, and it seems like around here Bandai Namco has a fame of making low-quality games, with the occasional gem.
About Square Enix, I believe they lack the capacity to improve. They should learn with Capcom (although even Capcom still makes some bad mistakes), but I don't think they ever will. They keep chasing whatever is new at the time (blockchain, AI...) to say "we innovate", without considering the public perception and if these things actually improve the games or not. Them releasing too many small games with no advertising also shows a lack of trust in its own products. Even with their biggest games, like turning FF into an action game with XVI and the very divisive plot changes regarding whispers and timelines in VII Remake, shows them trying to attract a new generation of gamers without understanding what made the series so big in the first place.
I don’t know why NOW they decide on this, but I guess later is better than never.
With confirmation that Larian Studios will not develop another Baldur's Gate game, the fourth entry has a major challenge on its hands.
Larian had big shoes to fill themselves. Hopefully another studio can pull off the same miracle, but uphill battle is an understatement at this point. It feels impossible that BG3 even exists and accomplishes what it does.
I doubt anyone will attempt a Baldur’s Gate 4 for minimum a decade. It took about 20 years to get a third one for a a reason.
I'd just copy every single thing larian did obviously with different story and characters. Sometimes innovation isn't needed at that particular time.
i remember in an interview that it was Larian asking constantly that they wanted to develop Baldurs Gate 3, there has to be some really ugly business going behind the scenes for them to leave in such a way, no DLC no sequel nothing, either they are getting very low return after the huge success, or some of the business practices they have seen are truly terrible.
Game looks promising, just hope its fun.
I would love a decent sniper game and I hope that's the one
I agree with you. This part of Sniper Ghost Warrior looks very good and promising. I hear this one will not be only Sniper game because we can play like a Ghost and Warrior too :) Open world will be great news on this game.
I hope Sniper Ghost Warror 3 will be as good as it looks in trailer and gameplays. I think it might be one of the biggest surprises in 2017.
For me this interview is very interesting because now we know a lot of new information about Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3. But I hope it is not last interview about this game. Open world is very interesting solution on this game because when we choose one of three game style we can end the mission on three different way.
I have to say I am impressed with how the game shapes out to be. I was a bit sceptic when I first heard about it. Than they moved the release date so you know how I have felt when I heard the news but now I am am very happy. I'm glad that CI games took their times to finish the game, and hopefully in early 2017 we will get a great sniping game.
