Goichi Suda (aka SUDA51) is the charismatic CEO of Grasshopper Manufacture, a videogame development team which, thanks to his unconventional design and development leadership ideals, has gained a reputation for delivering some of the most unique and often bizarre videogames of recent years. But with that, these games have also been divisive. Beginning today, we’ll take a look at some of SUDA51 and Grasshopper Manufacture’s successes and misfires, and some of the reasons behind the studio’s consistent expectation.
The early 2000s was a crazy, weird time of defeating dystopias with karate, sending texts via Microsoft Excel, and ignoring your pets so you could look at jpegs of pets. As its adverts might have suggested, the PlayStation 2 was no stranger to getting a little bit freaky either.
..that article /list is only scratching on the surface of the weirdness on ps2. There are way more obscure games on that console.
I would go alone with SOME on this list but a few arent even exclusive.. in fact the PS2 version of GIANTS is an after-thought and considered bastardized compared to the PC version.
The free visual upgrade for the PC version of Killer7 appears to have added AI upscaled cutscenes and textures.
Industry veteran and No More Heroes creator Goichi 'Suda51' Suda believes games companies are still putting too much stock in how their games perform on Metacritic.
Imagine there are a bunch of non contributing zeros who criticize everything and create nothing.
Now take the worst of those hollow, meaningless people and pick out just the garbage, just the dregs. That's Metacritic. Now pretend those numbers mean anything.
They most certainly do. That's why so many went to DEI crazy town. They think it's more important to appeal to the journo crowd instead of their actual customers.
And look at how much money they've been losing. But it doesn't mean anything to them cuz they get paid by the companies funding all of the shitty DEI companies anyways.
He ain't wrong, i wish he would make more games these days, the world needs more games like his right now
Well it's a expensive hobby. Sooo yea if people are gonna buy stuff it usually has to be well recieved.
