Bend went leech. They can suck it even harder now.
Coming from the mouth of gaming's biggest Mainstream pandering shills.
Nice bend at the knee there Gabe. Seriously? A quirky character arena shooter? This late into the me-too-shooter market? I thought you guys were so much better than that crap. Gabe must need a bigger yacht.
Oh, gee yeah, you should take all your news from an industry-exiting investment firm that culled and wrecked the industry, be sure to them while you are at it.
No, Please DON'T be like Blizzard. That's not a good look.
They took the cheese. Bad on them. They risk their entire studio, their assets and their employees. The gamble comes to bite you and it bites hard. Should have stayed in safe harbor, but you know.... $$$ brings out the greedy and dumb in people. Ninja Theory should have known far better then to get in that bed.
It was remade last year for PC , Now released and OPTIMIZED and PORTED for/to Xbox and PS5, not “remade” just for consoles.
“it follows a critically acclaimed release on PC back in 2023” that’s because it’s the same work/game. it’s not following/follow up or a continuation. Author Sounds like they are taking a stab at an article and don’t know the product-line lineage and release history/ hierarchy they are attempting to inform you about.
More appropriat...
Loads of ancient titles.
The Sims? This is actually a title for people that just started dating a gamer or befriended a gamer or group of gamers, bought a console or PC and want to look like they enjoy playing video games by leaving this crap running in the background. Look, not one buys or plays this Sims crap (except for the console-store newb and clueless demographic). They try to sell discount it ALL the time. No wonder it's free. Essential? About as essential as stepping in dog dookie.
Buying studios without a way to sustain them was MS’s stupid, very, VERY stupid strategy to counter Sony’s successful hardware sales. In addendum, MS just destroyed the legacy of several studios all in order to stranglehold the market. They were willing to neglect them and shave them off bin them just so no one else could have them. Like a jealous lover “if I can’t have you no one can!” Wt serious f MS? They deserve every foot they fall from grace (faux azz grace that it was).
Funds are lining the walls of the escape pods for the MS executive team and directors.
Rather Have Gannon as the main perspective and conquer Hyrule.
Incorrect / worded incorrectly. It was Sony that formed the new studio of former Deviation games developers.
The studio does not have the pull to tell Sony what they are forming yo, that what being independent is about.
...and overspending on aquisition only to find out they cannot aford to keep what they aquired. It's like an idiot winning the lotto and blowing it all on hookers and blow in loosing it in one night (or like Bobby Kotick rolling his bonus in Macau).
This is the era of short term flex investment. You gotta understand that the gaming industry was wrecked by it, and it will never be the same, meanwhile fanboys/gurls had been blindly cheering it on like it was some kind of genius move or level to achieve, and now stand awestruck at the steaming wreak and nonsensical reorg it has left the industry in. Nice. MS has willingly "look what I can do!" gone mach 5 straight into an anvil (and it is so awesome).
Yeah it was good, but it only did the time travel bit in one level. Dishonered 2 did the same thing. Now how about a game where it's implemented throughout the gameplay? Singularity says Hello (and deserves so much more recognition).
And? Sony and Arrowhead still a win no matter how you spin it.
It's not just Phil (Phil is just the dumb kid taking the money) and Kotaku is NOT the voice to listen to as shi7 sites like Kotaku helped contribute to modern gaming toxicity and disinformation. Kotaku staff = Much like Phil, and yes need to go.
Geez still butthurt Ross? Sony Does NOT want another zombie game in the fing oversaturated market of zombie games dude. You gambled your project with Sony, you KNEW they had final say, so please stfu already. Fing pathetic.
