Joycelin Arnold from GOS talks about the Supreme Court hearing against violent video game: "Aside from the political side of things and more toward the gaming (as if there’s a difference these days), people don’t realize what impact this proposal could have. The people going along with it don’t realize that it will become a snowball effect and, over time, this “proposal” will begin censoring the work of artist in every medium, not just video games. This would cause our beautiful world of innovation to disappear and everything becomes a generic copy that’s been regurgitated to seem different because of a fear of being persecuted. Correct me if I’m wrong, but that sounds a lot like a certain government system that we aren’t too fond of. Oh that’s right, it is."
Eurogamer: "Xbox's Matt Booty has spoken more on the closure of Tango Gameworks earlier this year."
I call BS on this. All metrics were met apparently or was that another lie. There's something deeper happening within xbox's management
The gaming media better get on board with these sort of articles as MS buying up the industry means you guys won't get review copies or exclusive news unless you push the MS narrative.
The MS narrative "it's everyone else's fault."
WARNING ⚠️ SARCASM AHEAD WARNING ⚠️ sure they have an awful management with sexual harassment and embezzlement of funds so let’s close the studio we just purchased and leave games in the table. END OF SARCASM
( insert here a comic strip of guy thrown out of window for suggesting firing the management )
Elden Ring's manga has been put on hiatus so that the artist can play the DLC.
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
So... they're thinking of legalizing Cannabis use in Cali, but they want to ban Video Games because it's "Harmful" to kids...
Kids can get weed easier if its legal, and will hurt them more than games...
