Entertainment weekly:
Ubisoft’s historical fiction-action-adventure series Assassin’s Creed stands as one of the most popular video game franchises ever created, selling more than 73 million copies and spawning comic books, novels, animated short films, even its own hard-cover encyclopedia in addition to popularizing some 20 series-related titles.
XCOM and Marvel's Midnight Suns director Jake Solomon has founded a new studio to make a life sim game. Here's a new interview with him.
Wccftech interviewed Nathan Yu from Inworld AI to discuss the dynamic NPC tech's applications to games as well as potential issues like costs.
Saad from eXputer: "After Arkane Austin & Tango were shutdown, Xbox President Sarah Bond spoke with Bloomberg in what I believe to be utter corporate fakery."
im not really surprised by that, shes always been more a "let me talk about something else than what u want to know" kinda gal
Yea, it was and it’s insulting that they think we’re dumb enough to fall for this. Look, the truth was you took a gamble on these studios and while they released some games to critical praise and great reception they just aren’t bringing in a ROI. Be transparent, you’re not a politician.
Just tell everyone you spend money on projects big and small and when money isn’t being made you go over the potential of revenue a studio can bring in vs those that can’t and make the hard decision to chop them.
She says this whole thing about “success” doesn’t fit one meaning for each studio. Well yea, a small budget production isn’t going to expect to sell the same as a large budget production.
One thing I wish they did though was let Tango be an independent studio.
disheartening to see no regard for the human cost of business anymore
the bad decisions and judgements of these CEOs severely impact the frontliners
these fake responses are just salt on wounds
imagine havin the audacity to say "we need more games like hifi rush" right after closing the studio that made it lol
followin up with this show of "deflecting every question" was in poor taste
Another video game movie adaption I won't watch.
Typical. I assume all these guys don't play the games before they sign on. Marky mark never played max Payne. I doubt gyllenhaal played prince of Persia. Olyphant and friend never played the hitman games. Shame because I like fassbender I think he's a great actor. But then again I'm not sure if you really need to play the whole assassin creed series to really get it, but I would never even think about going in blind if I was getting paid millions like he is.
That is fine since he is playing a totally different character from the games but the director needs to have played it to nail down the feel of Assassin's Creed games.
hmmm, i would say this was worrying since the last cast that didnt study the source material was for fantastic 4 which tanked but, I dont think it matters since its not like he's trying to capture a specific character so it probably wont affect his performance at all.
Why would he? He is an actor that will play in a movie that has its own script, so actually it is good he didn't play any of the games, he can create something on his own, that is what he is the best at.
