Not every story needs to have a message, but there’s a growing trend of game creators making it very clear that their games have nothing to say about the subject matters they’re visibly encroaching on. But in avoiding the themes they’re dealing with, are these creators stunting their own medium?
"Thanks a lot for everything, truly".
For me, these Mario + Rabbids games were the best thing Ubisoft has developed in recent years. I'd hate to see Ubisoft drive the series into the ground like their other properties, so I think 2 games are enough. Maybe 1 more.
They can't ruin it because Ninty will send their ninjas to destroy all traces of it. If not for that you can bet that spinoff series would've been milked dry by now.
Great games, I have wanted Sony to copy these games with their own mascots for years.
I think Nintendo has to hire this guy, I mean the fact that miuamoto himself said to him that he is impressed with this work, speaks volumes. Th possibility on having Mario on Soliani's hand could be incredible and quite possibly a new era for Mario games.
Yea, these games didn't even feel Ubisoft at all. This felt very authentic Nintendo. This guy's direction is obviously stellar, and Ubisoft somehow managed to not kill it with microtransactions and repetitive, boring tasks.
Cultured Vultures: We’re going through the Nintendo Gamecube back catalog to find the games most deserving of a remake.
Discover "Stars Reach," the new MMORPG by Raph Koster, featuring a dynamic universe, procedurally generated planets, and robust player housing and economy.
Raph Koster wrote the #1 most influential game design book. Nice to see a game coming from him.
Keep politics out of games, we don't need games start preaching to their player base and alienating fans. You can be both apolitical and still make a point, and I would say this even if the politics of the games were in my favor I still don't want it and people who actually play games, you know gamers don't want this bullshit in their games. So keep your orange man bad, your asking for pronouns, and your "diversity" out of my video games cause I just want to shoot demons in the face and drive a burning semi in a crowd of Los Santos pedestrians
Yes. You can have political themes without preaching. You can have politics in a game and have a commentary without taking a stance.
Developers seem to be ignoring that.
In world fake political (Star Wars Style) yes real world political in games NO
Whatever the developer's intentions are really. Not every game should be for everyone and cater to as broad an audience as possible, I'd rather games be more decisive and interesting than just being safe and comfortable like a lot of modern games are. I don't think something like Mario or an arcadey game should get political, but something narrative based like an RPG or even a military shooter - go for it. Lead to a discussion
As long as its historical politics yes but identity politics along with other silly SJW nonsense just leads to product that no one wants to buy.
