Valve marketing guy Doug Lombardi says the developer may have chosen the wrong word when it described the follow-ups to Half-Life 2 as "episodes."
Ever get annoyed by the fact that Valve seems to take longer to make an "episode" than most developers take to make an entire game? Lombardi says it's because they're not really episodes at all, they're just shorter games. "The notion of the word 'episode' conjures up this idea of television where you get something new every week," he said in an interview with CVG. "And people say, 'We thought that episodic meant we were going to get something new every six months or every year.'"
Here is a look at the game where you play as an A.I. that must investigate and solve crimes at a corporation.
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
A renowned industry insider has suggested the rumored PlayStation May 2024 showcase featuring Silent Hill 2 could happen this week.
Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.
Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.
Going in with no expectations but likely will see something that resonates with me.
Nah they will announce it probably, but it won't happen right away soon though yes.
"We thought we could rip off our customers by releasing games based on the the same sh!tty engine (where everything has to be orthogonally aligned), take ages to do so, release a "value box" that includes the games you've already bought, and make our games much shorter and call them "episodes" to appease people. And we were right."
