This Is My Joystick is at the Golden Joystick Awards for the second year in a row and we’re once again doing a live text feed of the event right here and on our tweet stream over on @MyJoystick. So, sit back and stay tuned for all the updates from the show right here!
While AAA games make headlines all over the internet, AA games are quietly and profoundly impacting the gaming industry with their creativity.
No sh!t, like that's one thing that I will give the modern game industry is the re-uprising of the mid-tier. It's not as big as it was during the PS2 like Golden era of the mid-tier, but it's pretty damn good at the moment.
I have enjoyed some amazing AA gaming this gen, and the Portal has been a surprising catylist for me getting into these.
Hades sold 7 mil on steam alone. Disco Alysium 2.7 just on steam. Plague tale Requiem(is this even AA?) is at 3 mill. How did they not get attention?
And Forespoken is on the attention getting side? It bombed! What a idiotic thumbnail.
SMTVengence is a game that is getting overlooked. Put that on the thumbnail.
Here are some examples of some smaller games that I'd recommend people give a go:
- Metal Hellsinger
- Katana Zero
- The Talos Principle 2
- Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
- Rollerdrome
- Trepang2
- Tinykin
- Another Crab's Treasure
- Sifu
- Ghostrunner
- Penny's Big Breakaway
- The Pathless
- Kena: Bridge Of Spirits
- Midnight Fight Express
- Jusant
- Solar Ash
- Outer Wilds
- Furi
- Superhot
- The Forgotten City
- Crow Country
- Signalis
And obviously stuff like Hotline Miami but that's an obvious choice. Great game
When the first footage of Over Jump Rally appeared online, it rightly caused quite a stir. Created using Unreal Engine 5, it offered a tantalizing glimpse of what a modern-day Sega Rally could look like, complete with super-realistic car models, breathtaking environments and – of course – the trademark Sega Blue Sky.
Well done and great potential for a tribute.
Hey Dev, would you happen to be a fan of Skies of Arcadia? Lol
Adrian Chmielarz, a famous game creator, revealed shocking details about recruitment in one of the Polish development studios. He shared a story on his Facebook that sparked community outrage among both players and industry professionals.
but they do sauna all the time in Finland, Sweden all those countries, right>>? hehe
Love how people don't understand a person in the position to hire is forcing women into uncomfortable situations if they need a job.
Can they say no? Sure, but the point is that they either do it or lose out on a job. That's not how it should be and is a legal suit in many countries for doing it to begin with.
Also, the logic that he can't see them writing about sauna's without experiencing it nude and with him? Yeah, that's how it works. Only murderers write about murder.
