Zelda 3DS, Yoshi’s New Island & Sonic Lost World Impressions

MasonicGamer.com: You’ve got to give Nintendo credit for this one, it takes major balls of steel to even attempt to do a follow up to the legendary “A Link to the Past” on SNES. I think they’re trying to tell audiences “Hey, we’re making a Zelda game similar to A Link to the Past” rather than “Yeah, we’re totally going to top that game”.

Zelda A Link Between Worlds plays exactly like it’s SNES counterpart, so much so that one could be forgiven for assuming this is some kind of remake.

Sonic Game Writers Had ‘Very Little Say’ On Story Scripts

The writing duo behind Sonic games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World reveal they have little creative control over their game scripts.

My beef is why even hire writers if you're just going to control the whole process. I'd be very upset as a writer if someone did that. A job is a job though.

Performative for optics, I would think.

It's like the US Congress holding a vote to "denounce the evils of socialism." It literally did absolutely nothing about anything and was a complete waste of everyone's time (and tax dollars—which is its own irony, by the way)

Dumbest thing in the world, but if you hire writers, it looks like you made a serious effort to make something great.

Do you remember when the original Suicide Squad movie was coming out? How much did we hear about Killer Croc's actor watching cannibal videos to get into character? Or even the "incredible lengths" Jared Leto went through to personify Joker on and off set?

It looks better when people think you're taking it seriously.
