PN: Thomas Mahler, the director behind Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps, has taken to gaming forum ResetEra to vent. He is tired of “snake oil salesmen” getting hyped up by the games press and consumers, only to fail in delivering their promises.
no matter if Cyberpunk or No Man s Sky had their problems ...the amount of work to build these games are in a completely different (superior) league than to build a simplistic platformer with LED lights that jump here and there .....he is not showing a good profile making these comments
agree about Molyneaux though ...he was lame all the time
I still don't understand how people were so taken by surprise at NMS. You could watch long gameplay sessions well before release and see what the game was. Granted, it wasn't what we all had hoped for from the initial trailers, but it wasn't like you couldn't see exactly what the game was before it launched.
He is 100% right, but sorry, ori ran also like shit in the beginning. Sometimes like 5fps in some scenes.
Is it wrong of me to say that his games are associated with a company that is known for being one of the best snake oil salesmen in the industry?
No Man's Sky wasn't a surprise to anyone who was actually paying attention and was a really small team. Guy is an ass for calling them out.
