As I recall, it wasn’t the visual concepts purchase that cost EA. Sega had been publishing Visual Concepts titles for years on Saturn and PC. As I recall it was actually because of the two different Dreamcast proto-types. The PowerVR one made it to retail, but they also signed a contract with 3dFX, and had a final…

I think the delay is somewhat indefinite at this point. I remember reading something from the company saying “our focus is to help keep our employees alive." I did read a tweet from one of the developers that work is moving forward though.

A big part of this I thing is getting their team used to their new engine and other issues that will help their PS5 development. Sounds like MS is doing the same thing with gears. I like gears but I don't know if 2 and 3 need remakes. But on the other hand, it's good experience for the studio to get used to Unreal 5. 

I hear what you're saying, but I'm optimistic that 90 minutes will be packed with stuff from their new 348 studios....

I love the convenience of a console as well even as a highly experienced, having it just work is awesome even if my PC experiences generally speaking are problem free.

To be fair, not everything he does is cryptic. He often talks about how great Nintendo is and how much he admires the games they release. Ironically the last time he made that comment, the podcasters we're genuinely twisting it into something different. 

Thay was definitely true into the mid 2000s, but once unreal became a standard, porting just wasn’t the hassle that it used to be. Remember we’re going from X86 to X86 and not even remotely custom GPU hardware. You can hear the god of war team talk about the port in detail. They didn’t have an unusual difficult time…

Actually you might be surprised. I think you're exactly who they want. They don't make money on hardware. I remember when Phil Spencer was talking about this shortly after going all in on PC. He said he frequently got tweets like "Haha! I just bought (gears or Forza) and I didn't even need an Xbox. You guys are so…

Theyre copying the Microsoft playbook (as they should) and I think we’ll see games day and day eventually on PC. They need to ease their fans into the idea though. Yeah, MS technically”lost” the last gen. But when you add the PC sales the landscape looks very different.

Racing games and open worlds go together like Peanut butter and jelly though.  Maybe the open world will be Yakuza like which would be cool, but to me it didn't look that way. 

Funny part about the sales of that game was discounted more than any other game. Shit, I never see FFX on sale for less than $25 on Xbox. Yet they bargain binned 15 like crazy. Curious what the completion rate of the game is.

Lol. The $15 marker will be the indicator of how good it is. I bought 15 for full price, day one of course...and I swear it was half off a month later and $15 in 2-3 months?

Im also a bit confused. I guess I'm glad people are excited, but I think DMC combat is good for DMC. This is now the third main line game where controlling your party members just isn't part of the design. 

Now that you’ve update the article, isn’t the headline just incorrect?

Yeah I wouldn’t feel proud about that. I mean I don’t think anyone doing ANY project on Kickstarter is only getting funding from them. That would be unrealistic and the cost of making games, even Indy titles is way more than you'd think.  It's absolutely silly you'd frame it as "went behind people's backs." They're…

That canceled 360 still looks amazing to me. I suppose it doesn’t count as a remake but maybe they’ll just make it now.

Iwata San was the only CEO who could pull his weight with the workers. 

Im gonna bet they will absolutely go back to him. But I hear what you’re saying. I think the case is a bit like junk food. High on sugar content, easy to digest etc. You can only watch so much Ukraine content without feeling like total shit. You can't help but but giggle at the sillyness. That's why I think it's so…

Honestly the bar is so high for these cases he may very well lose no matter what. This was about the court of public opinion and he won that. He was fired from Pirates 5 when the op-ed actually written by the ACLU came out and he wants to clear his name as much as possible and get back to making that Disney money. I…

Well I mean there is the audio clip where she calls him a baby because yeah she hit him, but didn't punch him...
