Nintendo Revolution via Kotaku noticed a job listing on Blizzard's website for a senior producer "with a proven track record of producing high quality console games," with a "strong passion for both playing and developing console games."
In addition to a series of mandatory requirements for the position, applicants would receive extra attention for "Xbox 360, PS3, or Wii production experience." While it's hardly confirmation that Blizzard's actively developing on any of the three platforms, simply knowing they're not distancing from any of the three machines -- especially in the case of Wii -- is worth noting.
Left 4 Dead lead Chet Faliszek describes the original Left 4 Dead game as "such a broken thing that nobody wanted to touch it."
And then couldn't be arsed to make a third game.
If they can add a lot more stuff to a 2nd game in just 1 year why didn't they make a third game a few years later with tons of stuff extra? Because that shows they could've.
I know Source 2 was kind of broken and was a reason they cancelled L4D3 but it seems wasteful to just toss it away.
Don't know what Valve were thinking.. it's like nobody wanted to fix the issues to get going. They certainly aren't the Valve of 2004 that released fun games with pretty cutting edge graphics.
Valve is allergic to number 3 it seems. It would be easier for them to release a Left 4 Dead 2.5 enhanced version instead of releasing a game with "3" slapped on its title.
They stopped making games a long time ago. Steam brings in so much money that it's really not worth the effort. Nowadays, people only look for faults in games, and spend more time whining on Twitter/X than playing the game anyway. Valve says a big fat no-no.
Value is the Blockbuster of video games. They have no need to invest in deving a game, when they can make handfuls of cash renting them.
What are they talking about? Seemed pretty alright to me at launch it just wasn't supported the way Valve promised us
They should have just worked on a revamp / massive update to the game but they didn't they jumped straight to a sequel with brand new characters despite having some sort, if small, story about where the original survivors were heading.
I didn't care for the direction they took the sequel, the original games tone and atmosphere was missing in the second game and is still unmatched. Daytime levels, more whackiness, melee weapons where you could attack a Tank with a frying pan...just wasn't the same to be honest and the new survivors just didn't hold up the originals.
Here's my speculation. I think they did a sequel because they didn't want to update a game co-developed by Turtle Rock, they wanted the franchise to be known as a Valve game only and knew if they updated the first one Turtle Rocks name would still linger on it.
Quake 4 arrived as an Xbox 360 launch title soon after its PC debut, and heralded an era in which the single-player FPS dominated.
For me, what launched the single player FPS campaign on consoles was Playstation DOOM which I bought during the launch window for the Playstation 1 back in 1995 which ended up being the best port of DOOM on consoles back in the 90s .
Oh man, that William's Doom on PS1 had the best music/ambience! Really sounded hellish and it still sounds amazing today. I always preferred it over the original Midi music from PC. Doom 64 was really good too for that era!
I hope Nightdive does a remaster of QUAKE 4 to be released on all current platforms .
For sure. It was one of the 360 launch titles I picked up and enjoyed
it. But I really hope they do a Quake 3 Arena with crossplay option too. I recently went back and played on PC, and had a ton of fun. Would be nice to have servers officially reopened with a retail remaster! The Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 days are my fondest memories of online shooters.
You could do far worse on the 360 back in the day it was a excellent port of a at the time fairly demanding PC game.
Today Don't Nod Entertainment announced that the adventure game Life is Strange has achieved a new player count milestone.
I found all LiS games to be very good.
Especially the first and True Colors.
Before the storm was also amazing as it tied up the story with 1 in a great way and mae you invested with previously unknown character.
I think LiS 2 was the weakest in the series but still a very good game
yea i want it on ps3 and no bloddy monthly fees with that version, aren't they getting enough money gees.
were is Diablo 3?
it would be tricky bringing any of thier games away from a pc simply for the lack of a keyboard... anyways if they did bring anything to like xbox live the only reason i would play it in my 360 would be if it were no extra to play other than my monthy $5.99 for live, otherwise i'll stick to my pc for these games.
