Shawn discusses how the indie scene is facing big hurdles in terms of funding and it’s getting more difficult these days.
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
Interview with Charlotte East, Actress for (Lady Wilhelmina) in Dragon's Dogma 2 which is a vast open world role playing game where players will battle against a mighty dragon.
Polygon spoke with Spencer during the annual Game Developers Conference, and though the conversation ranged from the possibility of a handheld console to the trouble with closed platforms, one theme was inescapable: What the hell is going on with the games industry? And how will video game makers and publishers — Xbox included — get out of it?
“You can’t succeed unless you draw in customers from other publishers and other platforms. And because you’re not finding new customers with the games that you’re building, everybody’s kind of fighting over the same-size pie.”
People are going to twist this into him saying that Sony is bad for exclusives but what he is really saying... what he is trying to shout from the hills to the Xbox faithful, is that Xbox can not remain exclusive if you want them to ever take risks or make big games again. The back and forth game the PR team plays with the fanatics has to stop. Spencer doesn't know what Sony or Nintendo is going to do , but he is taking the Xbox games and putting them everywhere and thats how its gonna be. Going multiplat is the only way to GROW. Full stop that is what he is saying.
I don't think Phil Spencer is the one you want to ask this question. Are you sure he wasn't the one who asked it?
I won't bash Phil as much as I think he and his leadership team deserve, however, the data is showing the XBOX WW sales are nearly life support levels. Redfall failed - Star Field decent. What about those issues?!
Nothing is really wrong with the industry. More like: what the hell are video game makers doing? I’ve very rarely have I seen the disconnect between what gamers want to play, and what makers are trying to sell this wide.
What's the point on invest $500 on a ecosystem, that you will have on another console plus the other console exclusives. Why this made sense for Phil, get new customer but losing the old ones.
Just as I've said, game dev costs keep rising and the cost of the games after 15 years should go up a bit. At least for inflation if nothing else. Indie devs can't keep up because they don't have hundreds of millions to make and advertise their games. Since they can't make their games up to the same standard, they get blown under the rug against ubisoft games for instance.
Funny since the best game announcements I’ve seen this year have been 2d side scrollers. They certainly aren’t having any problem keeping the 80s going.
Uh how am I ever going to guilt fans with nostalgia on Kickstarter.
Sony current problem is the lame PS plus content
