Capcom Vice President, Christian Svensson, answered a few questions on the Unity Boards about a potential re-release of Street Fighter 3 Third Strike and he also covered one other question that came up.
From Horse Armor to Mass Layoffs: The Price of Greed in Gaming. Inside the decades-long war on game workers and the players who defend them.
maybe a real enemy is people who use terms like "the real enemy"
there can be more than 1 bad thing, t's not like a kids show with 1 big bad
Executives seem to often have an obsession with perpetual revenue growth. There is always a finite amount of consumers for a product regardless of growth. Additionally, over investment is another serious issue in gaming.
honestly, the "real" enemy of gaming, is ourselves
if nobody bought horse armor, shitty dlc would have died almost overnight
if we stood firm and nobody bought games from companies that were bad with layoffs, it would be solved
we're the idiots supporting awful business practices, we are the ones enouraging it
Greed and greedy people have and always will be the main issue for everything wrong in the world. Everything is a product to be exploited for monetary gain. Even when there are things that could help progress us along for the sake of making our lives easier that thing must be exploited for monetary gains. Anything that tells you otherwise is propaganda to make you complicit.
I've never thought "DEI" (although the way most people use it doesn't match it's real definition) is the problem with games. Good games have continued to be good when they have a diverse cast, and likewise, bad games have continued to be bad. There isn't a credible example I've seen where a diverse cast has been the direct cause of a game being bad.
Matt Miller: "Every subscription to Game Informer now raises funds for St. Jude. We want you to know what that means."
I subscribed to this not knowing about how some of the proceeds go to St. Judes.
Really cool that some of the money goes there.
Even if people don't subscribe to the mag, it might bring people to the charity.
Though Unearthed Arcana's content primarily consists of subclasses and spells, WOTC's latest UA drop is set to shake up Dungeons and Dragons' future.
I already have Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Street Fighter II. They can release whatever they want and I will not care unless it is Marvel vs Capcom 3!
MvC2 was already re-released and did well. I guess this and SNK vs Capcom is next to appear on PSN and XBL
YES PLEASE x 100000000000000000000000000000 0000000000
Not surprised here . It was less popular , except with the hardcore fans , so bound to be low on the SF ans SF crossover priority .
THe good/bad is that like MVC2 it will probably "only" be upscaled and with online and trophies .
But then again good , because SF3 is the absolute pinnacle of 2d animation in fighting games . Other may look more hd or better , but none are as detailled and as well animated .. so with upscale you still got a winner .
