How Playtonic Raised the Bar For the Industry

Playtonic has the set the bar for modern game development, crowdfunded or not. They knew their audience, they listened to fans, and created a beautiful game. Playtonic didn’t just reinvent the wheel, they reinvented the game studio.

Honestly, one of the most refreshing and relaxing games I have played in some time.

captainexplosion2586d ago

Yooka Layle is a terrible game imo. Horrible camera and control and what you are supposed to be doing is confusing.

brich2332586d ago

This is exactly why I stopped playing it. Also because the annoying dialog just irritated me too much.

Night992586d ago

Playtonic raised the bar with a game that barely got 70 on metacritic? I really don't think this game was just the slightest bit of what people expected it to be. Even the games the Microsoft Rare developed got way better ratings. People thought this team filled with supposed people of the old Rare could develop a game which comes close to the N64 Rare Games but they clearly could not.

TimmyTurnersDad2585d ago

It's funny to watch people cry when I mention that Nuts and Bolts outscored every version of Yooka Layle. Its also sad because when the game was first announced I made a troll Joke saying that: "Playtonic were talentless hacks who could only stay relevant by reskinning a game they already made years ago while taking shots at nuts and bolts at the same time."

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 launch trailer will send shivers down your spine

Ninja Theory's latest trailer for their highly anticipated narrative action-adventure Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is absolute cinema.

Reaper22_8h ago

Like I said before, buying Ninja Theory was one of the smartest moves by Microsoft. Games looks incredible.

Rynxie4h ago

Unfortunately, their games aren't big sellers. Will MS shut them down if hellblade 2 sells below expectations?

outsider16241h ago

If it sells below expectations, then i expect it to come to PS5.

Elda1h ago

The game may be a critical hit & still can get shut down. I highly doubt most XB owners will buy this game including the fact that it's digital only at $50. Most folks that have Gamepass will play the game through the sub service. If the reviews tomorrow are just average to low then that's another problem.

"Like I said before, buying Ninja Theory was one of the smartest moves by Microsoft. Games looks incredible."

Indeed.

Just a few hours to go

I can´t wait!

z2g7h ago

badass. already installed via gamepass. if its as great as the first one I will pay for the whole game.

glenn19793h ago

I just don't understand why all the down votes

jwillj2k47h ago

Here we go again. Is this a game or a choose your own adventure???

purple1017h ago

if you choose left, turn to page 39, if you proceed forward, turn to page 43, to turn right, page 209, you finished the book early,

no but seriously this looks like Microsofts first hit, or should I say, first game of standout quality.

jwillj2k46h ago

Never questioned the quality. Question is will there be a need for the controller.

anast2h ago

The time machine 'choose your own' were awesome.

Tedakin4h ago

If it's anything like the first game, you will spend a lot of timing walking and solving puzzles, with some fights thrown in.

Elda6h ago

LOL! Didn't send any shivers down my spine but I'll demo it after midnight tonight through Gamepass to see what it's giving.

Obscure_Observer4h ago

After the midnight? I see...

Day one as expected for another game that you said you had zero interest.

Elda1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Finally making a re-appearance. When the heat was on about XB closing studios you were crickets on all articles. Now that the heat has died down all of a sudden you're here on an XB exclusive article or should I say a timed exclusive...lol!! If you must know I can demo this game at midnight because the University I work at is closed for the summer so I can play video games until my heart's content until the end of August when I go back to work. That's what Gamepass is for, knowing I would not spend $50 on Hellblade 2 because the first one I thought was boring so I'm going to see if this one is still boring or is it interesting by demoing the game.

Elda1h ago

Why not I have a year subscription to Gamepass, I don't have to spend $50 on a digital only game that I may not like including I'm on a lengthy vacation from work.

rlow16h ago

It looks amazing, I’m hoping the reviews are solid. You can tell the studio really poured their heart and soul into this one.

Even though I think runa looks great I'm more inclined to back the second Kickstart they show. One because they are actually doing a console version. Two because they have physical pledge.

god. this gamesradar is riddled with ads and popups
