"if you have ever wrestled with a xboxdev kit you might understand why" I felt that in my bones also having developed on an Xbox Devkit.
There is a reason Sony chases GaaS and live service games and as a game developer I'll tell you why. When they hit they make TONS of money. Let's use GTA5 as an example. The game's total revenue was $8.6B. At least $3B of that total was made from GTA Online. It can expect to make at least $500M on a yearly basis.
Now God of War and Elden Ring $9B and $1.2B with God of War being a hit title by a first party studio and Elden Ring being more of the norm for a third...
As it stands right now, AI is really good at taking existing concepts that a human imagines and then organizing them into a coherent story. You still need creativity, but I think having a "room of writers" is probably no longer necessary. So in that regard AI is taking jobs. For instance, let's say I provide AI with a number of characters and what their personalities are. I might say, (if making a murder mystery) the Butler who seems like the protagonist is actually the killer....
Kojima's narratives and characters brim with imagination and creativity, often overshadowing any shortcomings in dialogue reminiscent of B-movies. Frankly, that's part of the appeal. Embarking on a journey into Kojima's mind is an exhilarating experience, and for many of us, we eagerly embrace it. Could the character dialogues be polished? Undoubtedly. However, doing so might strip away the very charm that makes these stories unique. There's a part of me, perhaps the inner chi...

It's not about budget. It's about a "fat" character would be more pixels to shoot at and a severe disadvantage to anyone playing a character like this. As it is, even noob Fortnite players choose the female characters for this very reason. Smaller targets are harder to hit.
Was the first thing I noticed as well. They could legit record it from the movie since in that scene there aren't any other sounds overlaying it. If this game is coming to PC, the mod community will replace the sound properly I'm sure.
Thanks for letting us know.
After 2014 Sessler became kind of a loon. It's cool to have a political view. It's not cool to say you hate anyone from an opposing political party including members of your own family. He used to be a smart commentator. Now I can't look past how crazy he's become. Of course that's part of the reason G4 failed anyway.
Ok, if you believe loot boxes are gambling and should not be sold to minors then I'll ask you about what Pokemon and Magic the Gathering booster packs are? If you say those too are gambling then we don't have very much left to discuss. I'll say I disagree and apparently so does most of the rest of the world.
If you think I'm making a strawman argument, then please tell me the difference between any booster pack based game with a chance to earn commons, rare...
I'll explain the difference. Gambling is you pay money and have a chance to lose it all. It's a game of chance.
Gaming loot boxes you pay money but always are given something in return. It's also a game of chance.
Now, if we're saying that Loot Boxes are gambling, then we should not be selling Pokemon card packs to children either right? Or baseball cards, or football cards, or hockey cards. So this is why gaming companies will never be f...

Yes, he's a hack.
Stats on how wrong he's been in the past:
1. Grand Theft Auto V would release 2010 (released Sept 2013)
2. Predicted the price of Kinect would be $50.00 (was over $150)
3. Said Microsoft would double the price of Xbox Live
4. Said Wii was in no...
Read "Press Reset" by Jason Schreier. Levine definitely isn't a team player. I don't know how much of that is ego. You cannot deny he's a genius creator so people put up with it. Steve Jobs was kind of jerk but people put up with it because he was a visionary, I believe it's really the same thing here. The question is can a great game be made without having a personality like Levine leading it? I'd assume Ted Price over at Insomniac games or Even Wells at Naught...
This is definitely the path in that direction. If WB sanctions this, it opens up the door for characters from MKX and MK11 to be added in this same 2D style.
These are mockups using character models made over a decade ago. The characters in these screen shots don't yet have proper self shadowing. Liu Kang was produced by an artist who is no longer with the group, admittedly his face needs work and trust me it will be upgraded. Honestly we're 10 times harder on ourselves than any typical fan will be because we're fans. Trust me, if WB gives us the green light everything you mentioned will be improved.
My game studio, Eyeballistic is pitching to do the art if there is a remaster.

That's a 3D-cell shaded approach. Check it out. Even if it just ends up getting redrawn, (by my team or anyone else) I...
Nothing PSVR2 will be there unfortunately. At least according to the very bottom of the blog post. All the other stuff you mentioned is definitely possible though.
Sorry I am not going to break my NDA to satisfy your request for facts. Take my statement for what it is worth (maybe nothing). Its not a lot of money compared to development costs especially when you factor in paying your artists, programmers and sound designer. Not to mention character rigging costs, environment art, gameplay designer etc etc. Most indies would be happy just to make a little money as a sure thing and GP offers that.
They may single-handedly set the market price for video games given the quality is AAA. I have to think any AAA that is thinking about $80 games will have to rethink that price point. We need more games of this quality and this price point to keep AAA game devs from thinking that $80 should be the new norm.
