Yesterday it was revealed that Hideo Kojima's upcoming action open world (and possibly horror) game Death Stranding will be running on Decima, an engine which has been largely developed by Guerrilla Games.
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader producer discusses the rise in popularity of CRPGs, but did Baldur's Gate 3 cause this?
YoshiP, the director and producer of Final Fantasy 14, has apologised for the state of the game at the time of writing.
Do you not see this happening during development? Like, why are we apologizing after the fact instead of stopping it during development?
I was unhappy with DT and have spent far less time in it than any other expansion but it's things like this that makes me respect Yoshi P. It's rare for such a high profile developer to be so candid in his assessment on a live game.
Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.
Its insane that Death Stranding will look better than the Game Awards trailer. It seems we are going to reach CGI visuals in games sooner than expected.
Indeed
Decima is beast! It's insane that Sony is letting a 3rd party use it's first party tools.
And it makes sense for Kojima in this regard. MGS5 took much longer because he was simultaneously creating FOX engine which Konami took from him after the fall out. Given the scope of this project and the time he wants to launch, developing a brand new engine would cost more money and prolong the development of the game.
Sony probably wanted to get him up and running as smoothly as possible and eliminate the cost over head of footing the R&D cost of a new engine when they are already publishing the game.
GG and Kojima are a match made in heaven...
Can't wait for Horizon and I will keep my eyes on Death Stranding
Barf
Leave it to the mind of Kojima for this. I just love that he's so passionate about his work. I too believe that the industry would benefit a lot by sharing tech. Could benefit even more if they were as passionate about the things they're involved with like Kojima is. These days it seems most are more worried about money and DLC than creating a masterpiece or following their dream
