Between Cronos: The New Dawn and The Sinking City 2, AA Resident Evil clones are back with a vengeance. After Bloober Team surprised us with their competence in the survival horror genre, now it's Frogwares time to shine. Happy to see such solid alternatives in this genre.

There's a David Lynch-inspired character called Mushroom Jack in The Sinking City 2. The game is also pretty good so far. Massive improvement for Frogwares in the game design front. Works surprisingly well as a survival horror! Leagues above the first game.

Ok, eu estava errado: o patch que acabou de sair melhorou bastante o desempenho.

Não gosto de falar mal de jogo nas redes, mas a otimização de Beast of Reincarnation tem sido uma das piores que eu vi em console. De um jeito que nem sei se um patch resolva tão em breve. Chega a interferir seriamente no gameplay e me faz querer jogar outra coisa.

Actually hate term “friendslop” when referring to a game/genre; and it just shows your contempt/hate for games of that type if they dabble that sort of thing. Showcases how disingenuous you are in critique because I know you are not using term in complimentary manner. You use in a derogatory way.

Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations é como o Silksong de Doom. Não só é pensado como algo a se jogar depois de dominar todo o gameplay que veio antes, como também exige que o jogador reaprenda uma forma totalmente nova de jogar. Isso tudo nas arenas mais difíceis de todas. Jogo de maluco.

Got tagged into a thread about how the community can support laid off devs, so I thought I'd put together a quick infographic. I made this company agnostic, since, well, games industry has been doing this a lot :( More Elder Scrolls specific notes in thread below.

Orange and Blue poster titled: How can the community support developers undergoing layoffs?

DON'T
Don't spread rumors or misinformation
About who is/isn't laid off, why anyone was/wasn't laid off, what is going to happen to the game, etc.

Don't do things to "support" the devs if they haven't asked
Don't review bomb games, cancel subscriptions, boycott the company, or yell at company employees online if the developers haven't asked you to. It does not help them.

Don't forget about this
The consequences of layoffs don't end when the news cycle moves on. Remember the devs when there's a cool announcement that they should have been a part of, or a bad bug they could have prevented.

DO!
Do listen to the developers and amplify their voices
Use your platform to share the human stories of those affected, not just the impacts it'll have on the game.

Do dispel and correct misinformation
If you see someone saying something mean or misinformed, shut them down or correct them if you're able to.

Do follow the developer's lead
If the developers ask for a specific action (like a comment writing campaign, a protest, or removing a post you've made), do it!

Do tell them they mattered
Tell the team (or individual developers) about the impact their work had on you

Do offer direct support, if you can
Buy their art, listen to their podcast, leave a LinkedIn review if you worked with them, let them know if your company is hiring, etc.

O comportamento caixista no geral é muito agregado à própria cultura corporativa da Microsoft, com essa relação parasocial que eles procuram construir entre o público e seus executivos e CEOs. Só ver quantos chamam Phil Spencer e Asha Sharma de "tio Phil" e "tia Asha". Embaraçoso, no mínimo.

Essa última semana me ensinou algo de novo sobre o caixismo. Sonystas e nintendistas têm apego emocional aos jogos das marcas. O caixista tem apego emocional à marca em si. Ao ponto que estúdio ser fechado vira motivo de celebração porque "os jogos eram ruins mesmo."

A id Software fez um trabalho verdadeiramente incrível no DLC de Doom: The Dark Ages, Revelations. Puro brilhantismo no gameplay. É um absurdo como a Microsoft desvalorizou esse time e tirou deles a chance de celebrar esse marco na franquia.

Imagine releasing a phenomenal & lengthy DLC for Doom: The Dark Ages a day after half the team at id Software was laid off. And Microsoft barely advertising the thing. They deserved so much more. I'm pissed.

Uma pessoa reclamou que seu disco físico de jogo não estava funcionando adequadamente por causa de um novo patch. O que alguém sugere nos comentários? "Parar de birra" e assinar a Playstation Plus pra jogar a versão digital do mesmo jogo. É esse tipo de lógica que matou a mídia física.

I dunno man, I feel like if you're a platform holder that is being criticized for not having very many appealing games to support your platform, closing down studios making interesting games for your platform or cancelling their projects might be a move people won't respond well to.

O fato de eu estar surpreendido com o possível cancelamento de Marvel's Blade me mostrou que eu estava subestimando MUITO o mau gosto para jogos da gerência atual do Xbox. @phluttilippe.bsky.social tava certo em seu vídeo, a gestão Asha Sharma dá mesmo saudades de Phil Spencer.

Microsoft makes basically infinite money and Xbox as a division is a rounding error for them. They don't have to close studios and lay people off because they're short on cash and have to make hard calls, so don't buy this "woe is us" sob story. It is a choice. They are *choosing* to do this.

When this is all said and done, the fallout of Xbox’s panicked overhaul will very likely be more catastrophic for the games industry than Embracer’s acquisition spree. When Xbox pulls funding or reconsiders partners, those studios and agencies, even if not owned by Xbox, are still heavily impacted.

I've also played and reviewed this game in 2019 and occasionally it comes back to my memory. The last hour of this game is visually unlike anything I've ever played. (Oh and I remember emailing the devs because I got stuck at a specific part and they were swift & very lovely in their response.)
