I mean given the massive industry layoffs over the past few years developers are already pretty used to not having jobs.
I hate how developers are the ones attributed to game industry problems. Decisions like this almost never fall on the developers shoulders, specifically the ownership quote was from their subscription service director. You know… the guy whose job depends on you not wanting to own games.
I’m just waiting for aGameScout to drop a video on this one. He’s been doing excellent deep dives on every Tetris milestone
I have little faith in this. Neversoft doesn’t even exist anymore, they were merged into Infinity Ward to be just another COD grunt. Vicarious Visions who made the wonderful THPS 1+2 also don’t exist anymore and the team was merged into Blizzard to work on Diablo (maybe that’s why last season was a banger). On the plus side of all these closures, Robomodo who made all the worst Tony Hawk stuff (Ride, Shred, THPS HD, THPS 5) is shut down completely so at the very least they won’t get the project.
They’re a small studio with a small budget. They probably didn’t have the skills and money. The success of the game on Steam would have given them the resources to do this.
My biggest fear was arriving at the app store and seeing the word free. Glad to see there’s still people making games where you just pay and get the game.
This is not the stray team, the article picture confuses the story. They should’ve used the Annapurna logo instead but they probably wanted more clicks.
Phone wouldn’t work for me, I’ve got a strict no phone around the TV rule for myself because I’m way too tempted to just use it instead of enjoying the thing I’m watching. Also wouldn’t really want to put an Xbox controller onto my wife or step mother.
I wish there was some kind of application you could run that would abstract all the mouse and keyboard interactions into a remote control friendly interface.
Anyway to do this without a keyboard. I used to have a PC connected to my TV for this but eventually just bought an apple tv for simplicity.
There’s a link in their Read Me on GitHub under the title about launching with Docker. Are you familiar with Docker?
I mean, they’re getting it aren’t they? In the headline photo you have Disco Elysium and Hades/Hades 2 which have gotten a ton of steady attention and love and discussion since their releases. The other half of the photo is Modern Warfare 3 and Immortals of Avium (terrible name) both of which lived and died in their news cycles in about a month flat and most of the conversion was around how bad the campaign was (CODMW3) or how nobody played it (IoA). CODMW3 has gotten a little recent attention for landing on gamepass but I don’t think it’s captured any of the mindshare AAA games used to get.
Biggest recommendation for the Gemcraft series. I think it’s absolutely one of the best TD series and it’s on a deep discount right now: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/13292/GemCraft_Bundle/
We’re going for less production design and actor salary to keep things cozy.
I mean at least it’s released in some format. Beyond Good and Evil 2 has apparently been in development for 15 years beating Duke Nukem Forever for the longest AAA dev time.
Yea this is pretty much it. I meet online weekly to play something with some friends, after the third or fourth session I was just completely done with the game. It doesn’t feel like there’s a whole lot to do after you’ve tried every mission type.
Penny, morrowind and dishonoured are a really solid bundle alone for $20
I really like it. It’s pretty simple but the small city feels dense and fun to explore. Reminds me of something you’d find on the Dreamcast. If you have gamepass give it a shot.
What’s a good gyro aim game? I’ve only used it in the new Zelda games (which admittedly was really nice to aim with)
Looks like you can’t self host it right now?
Oh cool

Eh, yanko design. So it’s just gonna be a mock-up.
Good god that is a hard headline to grok. I thought it had something to do with the actual day prior to something else.
