They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.
One example

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.
Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...
Man, I don’t know why, but it also irks me when people try to tell others what to do. Fez was an awesome game, I couldn’t care less if the dev was a douche.
This is just extra cringe since the person actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🤦♂️
I wasn't cancel culturing shit. Phil phish is a complete douche. Did you bother to watch the video? Probably not.
I was wrong but call me cancel culture is just plain dumb also
Also crimson.
As you I'm human and we make mistakes. That was a mistake I mixed the games up. Shit happens. So go cringe yourself
Honest mistake, if you can watch that video and support the guy. Then I guess your in the same camp
You were wrong and that's that. Don't be so angry.
And yeah, that is a case example of cancel culture. It was a dozen years ago, he's apologized since, had Japanese developers rationalize with his remark, barely has done anything in the industry since Fez, and yet here you are, not even remembering the one game he made...
Deliver Us Mars developer Keoken Interactive has laid off the majority of its staff after struggling to secure funding …
The industry model and standards and who's in place to approve/disapprove have changed ^ what Keoken is feeling now is much like the Mobile burst 15 years ago. Expect more to come out of your own finances. Investors are treating games like movies and now (thank$ a lot for involving yourself hollywood) only the big (and money blind) investors get involved, effectively killing a lot of content that would come out with proper non-gate-kept and/or with incentivized funding.
Sorry but i couldn't care less, Deliver us Mars was as woke game as they come, climate change disaster, all female cast plus only a comic relief indian guy (it takes only 5 minutes into the game for the main female character to say how smart she is compared to the guy), evil white guys, ugly females, then add generic gameplay and puzzles (how many times do you have to cut things with a laser for gods sake), you can't change anything in how the events develop so 0 agency in the story, sub par graphics even while using UE4. So well, go woke go broke, that's how it works.
That stinks but with a 68 average critic rating on their games probably made it difficult for people to invest considering there is a bloat of games getting made these days.
Good News for Sony, They can finally get the push that they need.
damn alot of stuff changing up at Sony
This is old, he works for cellius now one of the sister company's that is pushing the CELL technology, this was known about 2 month's ago but obviously some didn't know this...
i thought this was old news
