The Furious Fourcast returns after taking a one week break while Scott was on vacation to talk about what the heck is up with Xbox head guy Don Mattrick leaving for Zynga of all places. While $50 million may have had something to do with that he leaves behind some problems like Microsoft's insistence of shooting itself in the foot by talking about Xbox One and advertisements with Kinect.
Nintendo isn't spared either as the Wii U is in a world of hurt according to Michael Pachter and Jen, Robert, Adam and Scott don't necessarily disagree but for slightly different reasons.
They also talk about the word from Double Fine about Broken Age being split into two games because it became too big for the $4 million it got from Kickstarter as well as a laundry list of titles that are currently in their play queue. This include the upcoming Nintendo 3DS title, [Redacted].
As for the Burning Question of the Week, Scott asks, "What would it take to get you to see The Lone Ranger?
who is now the sole leader of Naughty Dog, “I promise you, we will not be ‘The Last of Us’ studio forever.” Numerous games, he said, are in the works, including “multiple single-player projects.
I know he has a celebrity like status but unless he's announcing his game soon idc what he has to say from this point on.
We need announcement something from him.
Kind of a weird interview. No substance, hardly any questions. It's almost like they forgot to post the whole thing or something.
Oh brother...... It's like a balloon filling with helium. He's got nothing new to say. Naughty Dog went from being a studio of numerous developers to being about him and what HE does. Bruce Straley was the co-creator of The Last of Us, and he left--I think for the same reason Christophe Balestra left and since then, Naughty Dog haven't been the same. PlayStation is incredibly woke, as all businesses seem to be these days, ignorant to what's really going on sacrificing the greater for peanuts, but I think they left because of the uprising political atmosphere. They knew there was nothing they could do about it and an attempt to try and combat it, in today's society would end them up in legal trouble so, they just left, what else can you do when the opposition behaves like a child, screams and yells louder than you want to in raged fits, and will throw lawsuits at you at whatever chance they can, but you don't play that way, so they left. And Naughty Dog hasn't been the same since.
Naughty Dog was huge at one time! They were the underdog that became the top dog but, the direction it's fine, just watch and wait. It's ego, and Druckmanns ego of thinking they're untouchable and can just coast along, will drop them rock bottom, in due time, they could see the same fate as Xbox's teams met. Fans will turn on Naughty Dog because A) Naughty Dog aren't producing, they're not what they once were.
B) Gamers ARE growing tired of the woke culture overtaking their lifetime hobby. They're just more silent about it, it's the quiet cool
He's a solid theatre arts person, but he's not a philosopher. Being good at one thing doesn't mean he's Descartes.
Sony should try and stay radio silence outside of hard reveals.
It’s painful to wait for any info at all, but it’s less painful than skimming an interview that avoids all details whatsoever.
Commit to radio silence, Sony. You can afford to leverage the trust in gaming output that you’ve cultivated.
