You know, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Rare, the developer behind pirate adventure Sea of Thieves, has introduced a dedicated dog park to its studio grounds for employees' good boys and girls.
Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.
Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"
Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.
Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.
I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.
A new PlayStation Malaysia tour video shows what looks to be concept art for Bluepoint's next game.
I think that’s a screensaver if you look to the right it looks more like a fantasy game and so does the concept art leaked earlier. Who knows though
Unless that structure/pillar thingy in the right picture is long forgotten technology it's futuristic.
Another shooter? Yawn. Thought the prevous concept looked more fantasy.
With there same look on the right a arena setting this might be live service game #5 from sony
So a live service shooter like concord.....
It looks like a fantasy game on the right screen. You are looking at a screensaver.
Looks like my dream of them remaking Metal Gear Solid is over, still cant wait to see what they are cooking up.
The new unit comprises over 500 developers representing the entire World of Warcraft development team.
I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.
Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.
No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo
I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.
Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
It all looks amazing to me, tbh. Graphics are truly astonishing, love the colors, effects, anime style, everything, and it’s all so vibrant. It honestly pops off the screen, and the city itself looks gorgeous.
I was really disappointed to learn it’s just gonna be another F2P gatcha game. I really wish they would have brought this kind of production values and wide range of gameplay aspects into a single-player action-adventure rpg.
And yeah, the traversal seems copied from Spider-Man, but can’t really blame them when web-slinging is such a fun way to move around a city. Beyond the webslinging, it seems to offer so much more, so it’s not a big deal to me personally.
Again, a shame it’s a F2P gatcha, so most likely I’ll never touch it, but visually and gameplay-wise it truly looks outstanding.
Does it matter if they use a mechanic from another game? Not at all, since all games use mechanics from games that came before. Spider-Man wasn’t the first game to use a slinging mechanism to get around. As long as the game is good, that’s what matters.
Unrelated note, I miss the days where roasts were actual roasts, like actual creative insults, "this should be illegal bro lmaooo" is not a roast
This is pretty common with Chinese companies, I clicked on the article just to confirm it was a China based company. They can copy anything over there without any repercussions.
Ah, Chinese, they do typically make clones lol. Game looks cool though. Problem is, it's a gacha game...
