Back when Bayonetta was first revealed for Super Smash Bros. 4, gamers were told that the results of the Smash Ballot painted her as the number one choice in Europe, and among the top five in North America.
One couldn't help but wonder which fighters managed to make it above Bayonetta in North America. Meanwhile, Japan wasn't mentioned at all during this breakdown.
Masahiro Sakurai has previously revealed the identity of one gaming icon that managed to topple even Bayonetta during the days of the Smash Ballot. It was none other than Snake from Konami's Metal Gear series.
Druckmann claims the tech could 'push the boundaries of storytelling in games.'
I’m more interested in what else he said.
“Neil Druckmann says new Naughty Dog title could ‘redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming’
Last of us 2 was still awesome. Did you like part 1? It was there as well it's just people hadn't brought politics into it yet so no one was really crying
Ellie was gay in the first. Abby is a straight woman. Burly for sure, but straight. People way over reacted to TLOU2. That's coming from someone who is tired of all the disingenuous pandering.
every time naughty dog make a game, you play it and get the feeling "this is not possible'
from the boulder running towards you in crash, on ps1,
to the massive open world of jak and daxter, on ps2,
to the QuickTime events sequences of uncharted on ps3/4
and now we will see what they do with ps5,
Arrogant asshole who sniffs his own farts bigs up next game…sounds like typical PR to me
You know what I find interesting? Almost every site reporting this as the main title where the REAL interesting bit of the interview is Neil praising AI and saying it will be used to help push story, characters, dialogue and more.
It’s super shitty to big up AI especially when it comes to story telling and other creative elements.
Just because someone says this type of stuff, it doesn't mean that it's guaranteed to be good news.
You can say this about microtransactions. MXTs revolutionised the gaming industry.
He also said it has "ethical issues we need to address" but of course that doesn't get the clicks.
I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.
Hidetaka Miyazaki appeared in an interview to discuss the future of the Elden Ring DLC and FromSoftware's future plans.
I hope Bluepoint are working on BB remake..
Sony now seem to have lost it with all the gaas, i have no hope in seeing them approaching FS to make a sequel. I hope gamers will push Sony and show continuous disapproval to the gaas model
U probably right about the remake it is maybe too early. A performance mode would be more welcome at this point
can we get new ideas instead of remakes? gamers are the most nostalgia driven on this earth istg
The problem with new ideas is that they are often riddled with modern gaming problems like battle/season passes, MTX, DEI and/or agenda pushing narratives rather than making something fun.
We look to nostalgia because the magic was still alive and well, where as now it's often limited to indies.
Look at how Bluepoint changed the art for demons souls. I wouldn’t want them doing that for Bloodborne
Compare their releases. How many are GaaS and how many are not. Put the number here for people to see.
I don’t know how to feel, Armored Core just isn’t as good as Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and the like.
I hope he does a new IP instead
Fortunately, if you're not interested in the AC series, he doesn't say he plans to drop everything to work exclusively on the next one, as implied by the article header. Just general comments about it being an important series he wants to be involved with at some point.
CD Projekt RED and Yigsoft have launched The Witcher 3 REDkit on PC. We interviewed both studios to discuss the release of these mod tools.
I wish Solid Snake did get reinstated into SSB4, but Bayonetta was an unexpected surprise
I’m interested in seeing every other character that ranked high on that ballot
