All timer nightmare blunt rotation being assembled here. John Lasseter is in a prominent position there, too. Truly just a collection of heinous monsters.

One unannounced game we know nothing about and they’re already ready to write off the past few years.

fucking gross dude. you get to move on to have a more successful career than you had prior to raping her, then you act vaguely remorseful now that it is brought to light?

You mean to tell me that Activision lied about celebrating Crash Bandicoot? Just like always? They did this for Crash's 25th anniversary as well, promising surprises "all year around" before announcing virtually nothing. www.resetera.com/threads/it-t...

resetera.com

It turns out Activision did not celebrate the 30-year anniversary of Crash Bandicoot "all month long"

He was in Fortnite... and that was it? Quite disappointing to say the least. We're still waiting for a CTR PC port. Or even a current-gen version of CTR and the remake trilogy with 60 FPS.

I spoke to several sources working hard at The Coalition, who have experienced increased anxiety around layoffs and promised Metacritic bonuses since Xbox's Reset. The sudden cut of story director Juan Vaca only fueled these fears. Read it below!

I'm lucky if I make enough to cover my expenses these days. No site has been willing to pay me a living wage so I do a day job to keep the lights on. If they did, I would be able to spend a lot more time uncovering things and magic would happen. Too bad!

A Patreon sub notified me that someone had written an academic article on the subculture of datamining / lost game research and concluded that I was the only person to make a career out of it, which is simply not true and very funny to suggest. There are many more successful people than me.

New Star Fox update looks great. Looks like Velan is really listening to fan feedback and even tweaking minor things like the way bosses flash when hit to make it more noticeable.

I keep seeing people throw out the term "Covid Correction" for the mass layoffs we continue to see in the games industry. We're beyond that. It's far beyond the mass hiring during Covid. It's mismanagement, poor trend chasing, cuts of departments to use AI (not as much but happening), etc.

Playing Fire Emblem on hard. Didn't recruit anywhere near enough units for the chapter I was on because my dumb ass didn't understand that I could have more at that point. Managed to beat an entire army of enemies using 3 characters. I feel simultaneously like a genius and a moron.

Are any developer friends and peers able to confirm having received this? Seeing this around a lot, but no partners having confirmed they actually received anything.

🧵Thread from one of the original reporters of the WSJ investigation here, again reiterating that their work was never corrected or altered, despite Kotick/Clare Locke pressuring other outlets to consider it "debunked".

This is, I think, one of the best Metroidvanias of the last 15 years and you can EASILY finish it within this timeframe. Hell, you don't even need to feel bad about not paying Ubisoft, because they disbanded the team, anyway!! Also it runs at a (99% consistent) 60 FPS on Switch. Do it do it do it.

In recent years, the media has quietly begun to change the way in which it writes about Bobby Kotick, the former CEO of Activision Blizzard. PMG investigates how Kotick used the threat of defamation to reshape his legacy in the games business, one article at a time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKwp...

The actual clip of him saying this is so awesome. Absolutely brutal and from the sounds of it, deservedly so.

The game has been taken offline now but does anyone have access to the credits from Crash Bandicoot: On The Run? It's for something I'm researching. If anyone has a list or a video of it, please let me know. Thanks.

The total lack of fanfare for what were once considered big games is sad. WB closed the company that made them and picked their corpses for scraps.

They should have just stayed quiet about it. They haven't explicitly denied it so all they've done is further boost its credibility and reach.

It's totally crazy that the new Castlevania won't have a Switch 2 version. It's the ideal platform for it.

I have not played Resonant. I'm looking forward to playing Resonant. But it is IMO ALWAYS a bad look when game devs or other folks officially associated with a game take issue with and call out negative reviews. You made a creative work. Responses are subjective! Some people will not like it. Deal.

My hot take is that if your game takes up this much space on current hardware, you should just go back to the drawing board. Either optimise it or just rethink what you're doing entirely.
