Loud Mouthed Gamers: The power of social media has been realized, but this has to be one of the most successful utilization of the connections already put into place.
Layoffs are expected at NaturalMotion, the studio behind Star Wars: Hunters, as Zynga reviews operations and focuses on optimizing its mobile game portfolio.
Vince Zyle writes "Star Wars Hunters is a really fun game! It’s not as good as other Star Wars games like Star Wars Battlefront 2 but coming from a developer like Zynga who worked on very underwhelming and low-quality titles before, this is a major upgrade.
There’s not much objectively wrong with the game aside from the work needed to make visuals smoother during animations. That’s one of the biggest issues at present alongside frame drops that occur from time to time when there’s too much going on which isn’t too bad but certainly noticeable.
In conclusion, Star Wars Hunters is a game for arena shooter fans who are looking for an action-filled game. Some of the other issues will hopefully be ironed out with future updates."
The acquisition of Zynga by Take-Two Interactive might become the video game industry's version of the AOL Time Warner merger.
I have to give props for the use of Electric Boogaloo reference. I don't think many young folk will even know what that is.
On topic... wasn't that where Don Mattrick went after leaving XB?
The power to make generic kids' plays be the "future of gaming"?
who was doubting social media in the first place?
