Its digital broadcast will showcase games from creators mainly based in Japan and across Asia.
"Following a great event in November of last year, DevGAMM Lisbon is coming back to the beautiful and sunny Cascais region to catch up with old friends, connect with game developers from around the world, hear from seasoned professionals, and have a great time all around." - DevGAMM.
The move away from written coverage of games is a problem for journalists and for the games industry.
What we need is a more honest games media. I'm sorry but if you're an outlet in bed with a publisher or getting goodies to attend preview/ review events then you can't be trusted to be objective. Very similar to the need for getting money out of politics.
Most game journalists are pariahs and low level marketing drones. They got too greedy and cannibalized their respect and trust. Something they learned not to do in their journalism schools. This is why we might as well watch gameplay critics on You Tube. Don't get me wrong, I love reading, but for every genuine article there is a thousand game journalist trying to gloss over monetization schemes so they can sell the game to gamers in order to get free games to do their jobs. It gets old. Even this piece doesn't address the problem.
We need better media in all aspects of society, period. Everything from the gaming press, to MSM is all fueled by clickbait headlines, half truths and buzzword topics that don't give much meat or meaning for the reader to benefit from.
"Nordic Game has revealed the winners of this year’s Nordic Game Awards, which took place on Thursday, May 23, during NG24 Spring and streamed live from Slagthuset in Malmö, Sweden." - Nordic Game.
Hopefully FF7R will be announced and will launch Day 1 on Gamepass and i hope the rumor of SE joining MS in a partnership is true especially now that SE is angry at Sony for locking up FF16 as an exclusive and making them lose sales.
I can see Sony being unable to make any future SE title exclusive now with how bad the their relationship with SE is and them wanting to jump ship and sign up with MS.
Since Atlus is favoring xbox these days i expect if an current gen SMTV port announcement happens it will happen here. I NEED it 60fps, not blurry and not pixelated.
Sony can't make square do anything there an independent studio. They have had a great relationship since the 90s what are you talking about
Even though Game Pass is already riddled with indies of good to questionable quality...
I'd really love to see them take the Niche Japanese/Asian game scene in hand and bring us some games types that helped make the PS2 a powerhouse.
More than likely they will cherry pick a couple big titles and leave us still lacking anyone willing to have a stable home for quirky Japanese titles. If Xbox wanted to do something good for the industry for a change I can't think of anything better.
