Maybe DC3 just finished reading some Bret Easton Ellis (he switches from third to first person a ton in American Psycho).

I don’t think you have any idea how expensive the hardware and software is in game development. Dev Kits alone can be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and nearly everyone needs at least one. Overtime during a single crunch week alone is staggering, then think of months of it.

Very very close. A different Battle...

I know that the last game I worked on that had a beta (it’s listed in your Google search) the extension was 100% planned in advance.

I had a 360 controller that had a left analog stick that was always inputting a slight up command. I would be able to walk forward in any game without actually pressing the analog stick. It wasn’t until I started playing Skate that I realized how special this controller was. After landing any trick I automatically…

This is exactly why Battlefield Hardline ended up just giving away all the DLC. The map packs fracture the user base and you can’t find matches on the maps you want to play. Say what you want about EA but they are the first publisher to see the Map Pack tide changing and adapt with free DLC with Titanfall 2.

I work at a new/used music, movie, game store. A kid came in and bought Crimson Skies and I just held the case to my chest and told him how at great the game was.

I’ve worked in the games industry for over a decade and have yet to meet someone that knows so much about a game as Bronson. I sat next to him for nearly a year and would just stare like an idiot at the level of play he was at.

Peter Moore is one of the nicest, down to earth people I’ve ever met, second only to Scott Hartsman. I think it’s funny to read all the hate for CEOs that you have never met or worked under and only see as some evil overlord.

Love all the replies saying “They work fine in X country”. Guess what, they work fine in other countries because other countries DON’T HAVE THE US CONSTITUTION. People aren’t upset with them because they don’t have the same right to face an accuser in a court of law or contest tickets and various other rights we enjoy.

Why would you not pay for shipping insurance when sending a small package with $10,000 worth of goods?

Was Credit Card not an option?

I played the game a few times when it was in development, and can 100% say that the concept art is much more exciting than the game itself was. It was still pretty early in the development cycle (PC was just a green from head to toe placeholder) so I’m not saying it wouldn’t have improved tons by release, but what was…

So much this. The timers and escorts seem to make the game impossible until you realize you AREN’T supposed to be a badass from the start. I went from regretting my purchase of DR1 to having it become one of my favorite games ever. The people that were the most upset were the people that didn’t take the time to…

I know for sure on the Xbox 1 development kit you can play retail games if your firmware is the same being used by retail kits (source: What I did on my lunch break everyday). I heard from coworkers that you can play retail games on PS4 as well, but never actually tried it (keep in mind most devs have no idea how…

Not 100% true. I’ve seen level skip create issues.

The best was a bug that explicitly stated that you could not use any Dev cheats when reproing, and getting a CNR back from the dev with a note saying “used unlock all levels cheat”...

That’s why there is a very clear rule in QA, if you used any cheats, it’s not a bug unless you can reproduce it without cheats.

If only there was a sports blog this could have been posted to...

As someone that has worked on a AAA game and the DLC I can say you are wrong. We didn’t cut anything from the game and all the DLC was made after the game shipped.
