In Digital Foundry's last Saturday feature before the onslaught of E3, we talk to one of Media Molecule's tech masterminds, Alex Evans, about the origins of the company's association with Sony and how they got to grips with unique PlayStation 3 architecture.
We also go in-depth on the make-up of the proprietary engines that power both LittleBigPlanet and its forthcoming, hugely anticipated sequel.
The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.
An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.
I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.
Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.
During a livestream on his personal Twitch channel, Rob Wiethoff (who voices John Marston in the Red Dead Redemption series) hinted at "exciting news" to be revealed next week. According to Wiethoff, the news will be announced "before Friday".
PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away
Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?
Spoiler:
Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?
I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.
Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.
My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast
I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed
He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.
It's been officially over 2,500 days since The Elder Scrolls 6 was revealed, and fans are still waiting for more than a logo and a mountain range.
It will come out in another 1000-2000 days or so. I’d rather they remake Morrowind. After they added quest arrows, sprint button, making stats lesser and the big nerfs to spells Elder Scrolls has been too simplified. They could change that with ES6 but I don’t have much faith in modern Bethesda. I would love to be wrong
Nice interview. Digital Foundry interviews are always informative.
On topic, I heard LBP2 was using the GOW3 lighting engine. Great to read it's gonna use MLAA technique. Gosh I hope KZ3 uses the same as well in fact all Sony first party should use it, it gives a much nicer and consistent picture. Also great to hear that all the previous LBP1 levels will also get the graphical updates with MLAA...
This game has GOTY written all over it.
I bought the first one because me kid really wanted it. After "teaching" her some basic controls, she had to wrestle the controller from me. It got to the point she made me leave the room when she played because when I saw her die I would "offer" my assistance. That got old for her real quick.
"I knew that we'd have these six SPU processors, and I'd heard rumours (incorrect in detail, helpful in spirit) that the vertex pipe was weak on the GPU. That doesn't really count as research, but it was enough of a nudge to just force us to build an engine where all the vertices are pushed through SPU."
Oh SHAAAAAMAAAAAN!!! I hope you're REEEEAAADING THIIIIIS!!!
*echo*
wowwwwwwwww what is going on with ps3 games????i watched kz3 trailer today and i couldnt believe its visualls ...i cant even imagine how beutiful gow3 or uncharted 2 will be !!!!!!
