Newsweek's Make or Break series asks prominent developers and reviewers to share the five key features, details, methods or flaws that they look for from games in the same genre.
The newest contributor is Naughty Dog creative director Amy Hennig, whose resume includes stints at Electronic Arts (as an artist/animator and game designer), Eidos (as director for several acclaimed titles like Soul Reaver, Soul Reaver 2, and Legacy of Kain: Defiance) before joining Naughty Dog in 2003, where she directed Jak 3. Her most recent title, the Playstation 3 game Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, launched last month to strong reviews. and in today's installment, Hennig explains what she looks for in an action/adventure game.
Console Creatures writes, "The BioShock film at Netflix is still happening but with a reduced budget."
It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.
Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.
I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "If Ubisoft plays its cards right, the Assassin's Creed remakes could achieve what Resident Evil 2 Remake did for Capcom."
You believe something good would come from Ubisoft? Did you sleep the last 10-15 years?
The only time they should be remaking the first game is when they are ready to reboot the series after a long break and want to get back to their roots. Start a new re-freshed timeline which they've convoluted.
Though capcom has had sales for there re games lets not all forget the huge elephant in the room which is mod support.
The first resident evil remake was made by fans taken down by capcom then they stamped there logo on it after that mods came in made the replay factor way better than the original.
But when they made them all in house then came the cuts for the modern audience followed by re4 mt's then they went after the modders even in really old titles trying there best to crush mod support. Then you got the horrible drm crap pc port of village and that dumpster fire online re game.
So capcom has made money on remakes but after awhile there shine is not so bright
I hope ubisoft does not copy capcom as they would turn that dial from a 8 to a 11 add in there own mt's to older titles with time savers live service bs or worse black flag with stamina meter's.
2K Cloud Chamber is ramping up recruitment with 30 job offers on its BioShock team. There's still no word on when the game will launch, though.
Actually looking forward to playing "Judas" from.Ken Levines development team .
