A conversation with Dinga Bakaba, the director of Deathloop on his life, immersive sim, favorite games, and the future of video games. He has won the best game director award at The Game Awards 2021, and currently, he's the studio director at Arkane Studios.
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
Just merge them all into a single studio, have it churn out a single Call of Duty every year and call it a day, lol.
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
Here is a look at the new Joker Trailer. Warner Bros. Games today released a new MultiVersus trailer revealing the first look at gameplay for The Joker, who will join the roster as a playable character when the upcoming free-to-play platform fighter videogame launches on May 28th.
PlayStation names its successors to Jim Ryan
I predicted it would be Hermen Hulst as the new CEO, I never predicted there would be another…
Hulst will likely Host the PlayStation press event and hopefully there will be a positive energy at this new beginning for the division. I’m encouraged that both he and Hideaki Nishino reference the future so it sounds like Sony has a plan.
I'm a bit skeptical. The new guy is unknown. Of all the leaders in the past 18 years Sony has had great leaders at the helm Carrying on the legacy of what made PS great. Sony's has a newer vision and focus for PS this time around. We'll see what happens.
As I said before two leads can be a good thing wherever they want to take PS they'll have a single joint focus and take PS to new heights (if said focus is gamer first) or bad if they have two different visions. Then you'll end up like the circus clowns over at MS.
Oh God no!! We have seen nothing since Hulst took over WW Studios. As a gamer ands PS fan I’m worried about what would happen
Well hopefully they have a plan because Herman hasn’t really done much since he got promoted last time
Remakes and remasters mainly
Spencer killed the xbox console. You're gunna have to cap for Microsoft gaming now. There's only sony and Nintendo in the hardware game now
This is a really nice selection to me because Hulst is an actual game developer and has been doing so for decades. A developer in charge of making games. Not bad.
Plus the separation of responsibility is interesting and a nice way of handling an incredibly complex role.
PS studios has zero output under Hulst.
Only remasters and PC ports
Dude even managed to kill Naughty Dog
Obscure
By that same logic you can say the same about phil...and hes had longer to accomplish something at xbox.
Joint venture could be very tricky. They need to be on the exact same page on things. It's two guys calling shots.
We know Herman, but we dont know the other guy or his motives/agendas. Obviously it's to make money but how he'll go about it we'll see soon enough.
That's why they would need 3 , so when they disagree they can vote . 1 on 1 could be asking for trouble, but at least sony isn't letting 1 guy take playstation in "his own direction ".

@Barlos Had no idea that was from Thunderdome. I remember a similar line from Con Air when Steve Buscemi says it to Nic Cage after fighting the other guy in the cargo hold. Con Air must have taken it from Thunderdome.
Good luck to them and I hope they do great jobs. Let's see the games. Really hoping that rumored PlayStation Showcase is coming up soon.
