Build a Rocket Boy, the developer behind the upcoming action-adventure game MindsEye, has been accused of fostering a toxic work environment.
Build A Rocket Boy, led by legendary game director Leslie Benzies, and IOI Partners are thrilled to share some exciting updates on MindsEye, the highly anticipated narrative-driven action-adventure thriller launching on June 10, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
Same I dont understand the hate, gonna buy this day one. I'm getting True Crime vibes from this game. Those True Crime games were underrated.
Probably because it's being hyped on the back of Leslie benzies as the ex GTA producer so expectations were higher than what we are seeing.
Everyone who attended previews walked away scratching their heads the game is out in two weeks and they chose to present it over teams nobody went hands on.
There seems to be a lot of smoke and mirrors in this one.
I have it in my wishlist but I'm thinking of taking it off until long after launch it seems like a bit of a wait for a sale type of game
"ex GTA producer, so expectations were higher than what we are seeing."
who is WE, where is all this hive mine crap coming from?
@the_blue spend 5 mins googling this game they highlight it in the damn sorry reveal trailer that aired during state of play.
Countless articles go over this from mainstream outlets it's no secret you don't need a hivemind to get to this conclusion.
would you prefer it was all one big conspiracy against this game.
All those people who previewed the game just had bias blinders on that day or something
Looks okay, I'm hoping that the footage they've shown doesn't do it justice, very poor trailers in my opinion, I'll have to wait and see.
The creation suite looks pretty good though,do like a good editor in a game, the editors in Far Cry 2, 3, 4 and 5, Doom (2016), Infamous 2 etc. spend so many hours in them.
Do wish RPG Maker would actually make a completely new entry instead of the same game, rehashed, saying that, I do enjoy that too 😅
Electronic Arts is canceling its planned Black Panther game and shutting down developer Cliffhanger Studios, IGN has learned.
S*** for those affected.
But 'Marvel' aint the easy win it was a few years ago, far from it. 2 years on with nothing but a 9 second logo teaser. I'm honestly not surprised.
The industry is extremely volatile these days with layoffs happening every other day.
That's a different game from a different studio. That's why its got a different name...
Oh the massive comment edit :(
I realized after doing more research. Not even EA would be that crazy. Didn't realize anyone was replying.
More big publishers cutting jobs BS. No more Black Panther I bet Ironman is next. All before SGF next week they better not show their faces. They're already the most hated publisher.
Just sell your IP and secure jobs for the rest of the devs within EA to other game companies. Also sell the rest of your assets and shut down. They can barely do anything right anymore.
Another high profile IP that likely got ruined by too much management and not enough focus on just giving gamers what they want.
It could also be they realised public interest in Marvel properties has hit low. Compared to when they started development.
Prolonged Dev times meant to craze died before the game had a chance
The cost of licensing included in development costs which was clearly still years out meant that turning a profit was never going to happen.
Totally disagree with the so called Marvel fatigue. Rivals us doing great and there is no doubt to me that both Wolverine and even Blade will sell. Very well. I think Chris is more on point in reference to management and I do agree with your point about profits.
Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher developer CD Projekt revealed its earnings and announced that Cyberpunk 2 is now in pre-production.
CDPR please! Make a free Switch 2 upgrade of Witcher 3 or even with a small fee of $2.49 (like Fantasy Life did).
Well we already know where the review scores are going to be for this one. Who knows how his game is going to be but the narrative has been set and everybody is running with it so expect some pretty low reviews.
This is definitely not a day one for me and I'll wait for it to go on sale one day. Which probably won't be too long LOL.
This game releases in 13 days and we still don't really have a clear idea on what it is exactly. Everytime a game releases without some extended gameplay to show us what the actual loop looks like it turns out they were hiding a turd. I hope im wrong, we could use more urban open world games to at least give us something other than GTA alone, but the marketing for this game is weird
Culture in work environment should be good and fair to everyone.
But Hope this game is good and sells well so companies can invest in more single player titles, can do without anymore live service trash.
There might be something to this equally it could easily just be a few disgruntled former employees. There's really not enough to go on.
Wonder if Rockstar work culture was a influence.
