Sorry, but as a (non-gaming) software developer myself, I can’t support the “Your last product was a failure, so fuck off and die” school of management.

Andrew Wilson joined a Zoom call with a black robe and a scythe, I guess? Because this sounds like Bioware is entering the “meddled into irrelevance” phase of an EA studio’s death.

Control was Epic-exclusive for a year, and Epic and Remedy have a publishing deal now, so I’m sure this falls under one of Epic’s standard policies: Fuck You, Pay Me; or We’re Giving This Away on EGS in Two Weeks so We Can Pad Some PR Numbers.

It’s not a matter of if this sore subject among Canadians comes up, only how long it takes.

But in that same interview, Phil told a tale as old as time in the industry. (Emphasis mine.)

Yeah, I’m not sure why OP is talking about the past tense of “Microsoft used to make PS and PC gamers wait 30 days to buy DLC”. In the present tense, Sony is paying to carve content out of cross-platform titles (and has been for years), lock up MP modes for a year in annualized games, and give boosts to PS players in…

Yeah, Insomniac (or whoever they farmed the PC port out to) kinda half-assed it. Between Xbox console fans begging for a sequel, taking the brunt of Don Mattrick’s insipid “Why would we deliver Microsoft Game Studios titles on Microsoft Windows!?” policies, and having moved on to start Spider-Man for Sony, they were…

LOTRO used to be a winter-centric activity for me, which is probably why I fell so far behind that I had to jump to one of the progression servers. (Hi, Anor!) But between quarantine and the constant low-level psychological trauma of a contentious presidential election, immersing myself in the nobility of Tolkien’s…

Check out the lore on the Traveler’s Chosen exotic sidearm. Savathun has been spying on him, and possibly worse.

Ray tracing isn’t coming to the PC version either, so maybe Capcom is just being lazy. Just saying. 

Still haven’t had a fright quite like playing System Shock 2 in 5.1 surround. 

On whether Microsoft will eventually offer faster solid-state drives in new Xbox consoles to compete with the blazing SSD speeds in the PS5, which are expected to radically reduce video game load times:

I’m thinking of two non-Bethesda games connected to Microsoft that might inform their decision: Rise of the Tomb Raider and Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice.

Hunter? I always figured her more as a Paladin.

Just giving in to the inevitability of your character being voiced by Nolan North or Troy Baker?

Vicarious Visions was working ahead on the Warmind expansion while Bungie was preparing the base Destiny 2 release, so that’s probably an area of the Hellas Basin map Helsom personally worked on.

Under former management? A bunch of Kinect games.

Sony purchased Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Bend, Sucker Punch, Guerrilla Games, and Media Molecule, but OK.
