Michael Pachter weighs in on Call of Duty WW2 sales, suggesting the upcoming FPS will become the biggest game in the series' history.
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
"Shareholders" I call them cancer, they are already rich to begin with but need more and more. It's like a disease, with no cure.
If you have a pension then you are likely to be a shareholder in these big tech companies yourself. To demonize them as 'heartless rich people' shows you have no idea what you're talking about.
@Y2
Of course, it isn't about that. You are attempting to set up a self-righteous strawman to stir up some kind of ignorant mob mentality.
And by the way, most everyone is a touch heartless or we wouldn't be able to consume the products we do knowing very well how they are made. People have to be this way because of self-preservation and convenience.
@anast please explain to me how what i said is self righteous or a strawman. I simply pointed out that categorizing all shareholders as cancer is ridiculous.
I own shares in game companies. I'm not anything near a major share holder. I just want them to make good games and be successful because of that. I think it's the senior management that's the problem. They are the ones that should be making it clear to the shareholders what creates growth and ensures a future of their business. Not this weasle words garbage that she did on the interview. It was horrific. I don't know a shareholder that would be happy with any of them for this.
Same and I'm not rich by any stretch like most people's I'm just trying to keep my head above water these days most company's shareholders are made up of everyday people it's amazing how companies think we want something but the reality is we don't.
Disney are probably the worse at the moment it's shareholders voted on ending a lot of the crap and outing the current execs the execs turned around and said no we disagree with the shareholder vote
I meant at the rich fucks who have millions in the bank already. They are making so much per year, that if they don't make what they are expecting they go into a panic, when in reality it will not even hurt them at all. Those are greedy assholes.
"you have a pension then you are likely to be a shareholder"
Pensioners don't make any decisions about anything. Obviously that is not what this is about.
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
It will sell well, don't think it'll be the best selling Call of Duty ever though. Rumors are saying Treyarch's making a modern Call of Duty next year. I think things are looking up for the series now. No more wall running, jumping around like jack rabbits, and exo suits. Glad that future crap is gone, some of the campaigns were good (like Advanced Warfare) but keep it out of multiplayer.
Yes it will sell well, but not be the best. Its a too little to bring the former fanbase but the remnants are still high enough to be successful.
😂😂😂 you know when you laugh so hard you can't breathe? That literally just happened to me just now.
Is this man insane? Granted I'm going to buy Call of Duty World War 2 I would argue the vast majority of Call of Duty fans like that futuristic / modern setting especially when you look at the sales. I don't think the older setting with the limited weapons is actually going to appeal to most of the hardcore Call of Duty fans.
It'll be yuge, trust me.
When I think of call of duty, I immediately think of the early days in WW2. However, with it being almost 10 years since a WW2 COD game, there is a new generation of players that probably won’t pick this up. It’ll sell well, but I doubt the best
