It’s worth noting that in the gaming industry, tons of positions are terminated when a studio/publisher is between games. Most of those are contracted positions, but it happens fairly often to full time employees as well. And likewise, many positions only open up when a developer is past a certain point in a game’s…

“If you’re asking what Summer Wars 2 is, well, it’s this movie, Belle,” replied Hosoda. “Summer Wars is really Digimon Adventure: Our War Game! 2, and so, Belle is Summer Wars 2.”

That’s crazy. I mean, he’s far from the first games journalist to go into game development/publishing/PR... but I feel like his quality of life must be way lower now than it was when he was an EIC lol

Man, “global director of integrated communications for shooters and Star Wars" is a WILD position title lol

I fucking love Renata haha

I got a refurbished Kishi for $25 on Ebay a few weeks ago, and I LOVE it!

It’s an underrated feature! So many games expose all the mechanics at the beginning (including the tutorial), far before the broader game actually asks you to use those mechanics... And then by the time you need to use the mechanic, you’ve forgotten how the mechanic works lol

Yeah, I think immortals got a bit of a bum rap. It was BotW by way of AC, like you said, and had a lot of the same magic (albeit with a lot of worse stuff in between). The dungeon design was spectacular, and the combat was tons of fun.

A) Jeremy linked to that article in the slideshow lol

I haven’t played it yet, but reading some story recaps makes me wonder:

Lol what part of this is "decentralized"

Definitely been shamed out of chat for having gay voice. In Overwatch, no less—a game that has a significantly more diverse player base than most shooters.

Please more Radwimps

I got my Moderna on Saturday and it basically knocked me out until Tuesday night. Chills, headache, slight fever, and body aches all over... Felt truly miserable. I had virtually no side effects from my first two Pfizer shots, so I wasn’t expecting it at all lol.

I’m pretty sure these are just modded dualsense controllers lol.

Sony seriously giving us a demo for PS Plus this month 🙄

It’s interesting that they’re highlighting this as the final balance update, while Splatoon 2 has been getting regular balance updates even though they stopped adding new content ages ago.

No, you’re totally right. But I think when Renata said, “ defined a decade’s worth of shooters,” they meant that TF inspired tons of shooters and was kind of ahead of its time. There were few full-priced, multiplayer only shooters at the time, and they came into vogue in the years after TF. And you can see how…

Titanfall had such unfortunate timing. I don’t think most gamers were ready for a multiplayer-only shooter in 2014—critics loved it, but the buzz among regular folks was mostly “Why would I pay full price for half a game?” (I know it had that weird campaign thing, but that was leagues below a proper campaign.) But…

Dead by Daylight is super popular, dude
