Wipeout in the Zone is a fun game that stays very true to the original television show. The game delivers a great physical exercise and can be very rewarding when you get in the right flow and have that perfect run! It isn’t all good though as the game suffers from some bugs and awkward tracking that can sometimes turn fun into frustration. The game is also very short, so in terms of content it feels like an arcade game. The multiplayer of the game does add another dimension of fun, and if you have friends over to play with this title becomes a bit more interesting. All in all Wipeout in the Zone is a great game for fans of the show that are willing to look beyond the (minor) bugs. For non-Wipeout fans the game might be a bit of a let-down compared to other games on the market, as it does not provide a lot of content, nor will the playing experience be fully satisfying.
Activision has published a new patent that wants to create NPCs capable of reacting with AI-generated audio and animations in games.
Have people forgotten that the 'A' in 'AI' stands for ARTIFICIAL? As in not real, as in the opposite of realism? AI-Generated content is the opposite of realism.
Microsoft and Activision have announced a AA-focused splinter team, making Tango Gameworks' closure baffling.
Yea let’s shut down a AA studio that just put out a great game and open another AA studio out of nowhere. I swear Microsoft never make any sense.
Microsoft constantly talks about creating new studios but most of their titles end up coming from studios they just threw money at 🤷♂️
Remember when they hyped The Initiative as their Naughty Dog? It's been 6 years and we've seen a trailer....
Bottom line is the Xbox part of Microsoft is in a helluva mess. The pivots are snapping ankles.
Obviously the team that remained after so many left didn't meet the needs of MSFT. A new team is not unusual for new projects. Some of the old team moved on internally and we do not know where they all went. The resources elsewhere that were freed up could likely have even been a part what spun up this new studio. Resources move. Just not in Tango Austin anymore.
Employees from King and other parts of Activision have formed a new team within the Blizzard umbrella.
HELL YEAH!!!
According to rumors, Playground just formed its third studio and Obsidian is already working on it´s third unannounced upcoming game!
Just bring the games!
