Retro Studios has hired more employees to work on Metroid Prime 4. These include VFX artists from Borderlands, Tomb Raider, and Battlefield V
The Xbox brand has done a lot of good over the years, but their various blunders are pretty wild to look back on in their magnitude.
Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)
By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.
Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!
Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one
Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.
They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.
"AI is not a substitute for human creativity. We position it as a technology that supports creativity. Creativity resides in people. We will continue to contribute to people's creativity through technology," the CEO said.
...not yet but 100% within the next 10 years!
..Then Sony will use it like the drop of a hat. They're no different to the others.
People that aren't software developers just don't understand the benefits of AI. People who's only exposure to A.I is the Terminator movie and other related sci fi films won't understand the benefits it provides.
It's not about replacing human labor. It's about making human labor easier.
Many years ago, I had laser eye surgery done. It was performed by a robot. The doctor took my measurements and calibrated the machine to make sure it would do what needed be done. And then the robot corrected my vision in 10 seconds.
15 years later and I still have 20/20 vision.
I'm hoping this game will be good. love the series off the Gamecube
Yes this will be something very special indeed:)
Wow, an artist got a job in the games industry. Any other exciting news?
Wait. I bought a Switch two years ago based on this announcement, and they are still hiring artists. FML. That is what I get for buying hardware based on hype.
"The new hires at Retro Studios have worked on some high profile stuff, so let’s take a look! Nicholas Wilson’s ArtStation account shows off some of his VFX work..."
"Since its first announcement back in 2017, Metroid Prime 4 has undergone an interesting development process to say the least. In January 2019, Nintendo decided to scrap work on the game in favor of handing over the project to Retro Studios. Obviously, we have received no words from either Nintendo or Retro Studios in regards to the game’s progression, but reports of the ever-growing all-star team surely brings hope."
Looks to me that this game is a minimum of two to three years of development away. They're still working on preliminary visuals. That puts it at around the 5 year mark for the system's age which is at or around the system life time. /SMH
I just can't see this game meeting expectations, don't get me wrong it'll still be a good game just one a phenomenal one like the 3 previous games were.
Would love if Ninty could just remaster the first 3 for Switch.
