"E3 was a festival where I was convinced of the future of the game industry."
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’
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
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.
It was cringe at times but I’ll definitely miss it. It was fun watching the big 3 go head to head on stage.
For real, can we talk about some of the positive things E3 was for once? Did it get out of control and too expensive? Absolutely.
But anyone that pays attention to the industry HAS to admit, for the last 5 years almost every announcement, presentation or showcase has seriously dipped in quality and lacked the excitement they used to have. Why? Because no one is forced to commit to the big moment and everyone is on their own schedules. To me it’s a double sided coin, because although there are definitely benefits to it, having no pressure or competition has turned most things “lackluster”.
Please don’t take this as a blanket statement
, of course there have been a few pleasant surprises… Just far fewer, coming from someone who has been following E3 since it started.
It was cool wile it lasted. I still recall the booth babes!
Not sure why people wanted e3 gone. It was an awesome event full of announcements. It was overall great for gaming.
Many don't realize it was also a very pro gamer event. If companies didn't come out swinging at the event it was considered the "loser"
This was great for gamers because it forced devs to announce things so we knew what to expect from companies. It was gaming Christmas. Such a shame it's gone and now we only get trickles of announcements here and there.
Early E3 was real. The later E3's were similar to playing a live-service game, the outside of the show was there, but in reality, they were just a not so elaborate marketing scheme.
