In Hollywood, there aren't any small players that can act independently from the rest. "There are hundreds of independent filmmakers," the studios would say. But who must those filmmakers work with to ensure that us, the viewing public, are aware their films exist? "The Internet is changing everything," is another gimmick you hear. In truth, Hollywood has sunk their teeth into that as well.
But the video game world is different. It's not corrupt by dispersion and multiple core competencies. Game developers (and some of the billion-dollar publishers) actually care about the quality of the entertainment they produce. The list of must-play games released each year far exceeds the number of must-watch movies or TV series.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.
You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.
Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company
Xbox and EA have recently made baffling moves that define how bleak the future of the gaming industry is with major companies at the helm. Ryan Bates from "Last Word on Gaming" posits in this op-ed that maybe it's not ineptitude, but intention.
Name someone that isn't trying to look us these days maybe cdpr.
Take two, ubi and yes even PlayStation are pushing us to own nothing and be happy with our live service ad injected games on a sub so they can raise prices at will and take access away when they see fit.
If it keeps up I'll be a full time retro gamer and this industry will be crashing hard
As rediculas as it sounds we need government reforms to defend consumer rights
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.
thought this was an interesting outlook on the entertainment industry...
EA-Activision Blizzard
That is all.
talk about entertainment......
hollywood sucks, they are all Bush hating America bashing liberals, and that is fine, but if you want to produce a diverse array of entertainment you need a diverse group of talent. They are all the same and they all think the same, and right now they are all thinking up nothing but CRAP to put on the big and small screen.
Video games better than Hollywood's movies and network television these days? Nooooo, I can't see that...pff, yeah right. TV and movies have been on the down and out for at least half a decade now, and with larger budget games like Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Assassin's Creed, and a myriad of others, I'm hoping Hollywood's days are numbered. Games are superior to those other entertainment mediums by a large margin.
