Call of Duty: Black Ops selling a bazillion copies, yearly sports updates, bad Nintendo Wii adverts at Christmas – the game industry is often a pretty predictable place. Of course, the internet doesn’t help; the clamour for up to date, accurate information has led to an industry that is often all but devoid of surprises. Still, regardless of the efforts of sites such as ourselves, there are always a few titbits that fall through the cracks, a few games that seemingly come out of nowhere and a handful of titles that, despite the blanket coverage, manage to exceed expectations or fall desperately short of their potential.
The writing duo behind Sonic games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World reveal they have little creative control over their game scripts.
They need to start letting people take inspiration from the comics, there's a ton of great stuff to take inspiration from.
My beef is why even hire writers if you're just going to control the whole process. I'd be very upset as a writer if someone did that. A job is a job though.
Performative for optics, I would think.
It's like the US Congress holding a vote to "denounce the evils of socialism." It literally did absolutely nothing about anything and was a complete waste of everyone's time (and tax dollars—which is its own irony, by the way)
Dumbest thing in the world, but if you hire writers, it looks like you made a serious effort to make something great.
Do you remember when the original Suicide Squad movie was coming out? How much did we hear about Killer Croc's actor watching cannibal videos to get into character? Or even the "incredible lengths" Jared Leto went through to personify Joker on and off set?
It looks better when people think you're taking it seriously.
Pretty much confirmed that SEGA controls everything about sonic no derivations fr
Nothing new sonic forces was meant to be far darker then sega got cold feet and they did the same old power of friendship ending
The Wii release of 2010's Sonic Colors received a remake for modern consoles, but what about the Nintendo DS sister title?
Back in the day you would get cases every now and then where the handheld version of a game was better. Chrono Trigger DS comes to mind. Not only did it have the cut-scenes from the PS1 release it also had new content that tied into Chrono Cross.
This week on the Game Deflators Podcast John and Ryan discuss a Dragon Age producer's thoughts regarding the Microsoft Activision acquisition, the detrimental effect Elon Musk's Twitter takeover has had on Twitter Gaming and Nintendo online's current status with subscribers.
Capping off the episode, the guys review Sonic Colors on the Nintendo Wii. Often seen as one of the better later generation Sonic titles, the Game Deflators determine whether or not a re-release was justified.
"3. GT5 not being the best racer ever"
