"I'm not interested in appealing to the mass market, or selling millions of copies."
I’m replaying the first game it’s great. It’s not for everyone no doubt. There are still a lot of people playing it.
Then why do a sequel straight away?
Why not something else like maybe a horror game similar to Silent Hills but rebranded into a new IP.

To be honest, he is in a great situation if he doesn't have to make a mass market product. Means he can make what he wants. I think that's great.
Bungie has publicly responded to accusations surrounding plagiarism of artwork featured in its upcoming extraction shooter, Marathon.
For some reason this reminds me of issues artist have brought up regarding AI 'art'. Where literally everything is sourced from other artists. Invluding AI art in games seems like a legal nightmare.
If AI is left alone as a free platform similar to what we did with the internet, it wouldnt be an issue. But if we allow companies to patent parts of the i termet as theor own walled gardens, then yes, there would be patent wars and legal nightmare.
As to this, the title is misleading, the game’s art is not plagiarism, someone included a painting(s) that beloned to some artist, in the code.
Well, do you think companies should be able to include AI generated art in their game if the art is generated using the work from other people? Or should AI art be considered original and the source work be considered inspiration?
Platypus returns 23 years after the original release as Platypus Reclayed. Gamer Social Club caught up with the game's creator for an exclusive interview
From 500k for XBO down to 261k for Series consoles…..Yikes.
It really puts the 3m sold in a year into perspective. Meanwhile, PlayStation is selling 3m per quarter in the what is usually the worst quarter for sales.
Xbox sales are flat-lining. I can't see how they will even pass the Xbox One... with both models combined. It's really sad to see
I want one more proper xbox console from MS which wouldn't have the limiting factor known as series S with it. Rumor has it another handheld will be coming in 2027 which will be produced b y MS themselves unlike the one rumored to be coming in 2025 by Asus. Make a proper handheld with no windows Nonsense and straight up like steamdeck with everything going through xbox app
Said it before and I'll say it again chalk around the Xbox call homicide and don't touch a thing it could be important
It's unfortunate but the PS5 may end up being the only viable high end option available for gamers.
At this time, it is super difficult to get a current gen GPU to build a PC and this is because of the games Nvidia, Intel and AMD is playing with the supply. There is no chip shortage yet we can't get our hands on new GPUs.
Xbox is not even in the race at this point with all exclusives likely launching on PS5 going forward and the PS5 being at an affordable price minus the cost for PS plus.
Sony's dominance is expected to continue unless they have a catastrophic scandal like the Don Matrick E3 moment.
