So down for that Zelda remake.
Also Sony didn't lie at all about being more open to cross-play. Their previous stance was NO CROSSPLAY FOR YOU. Now they at least let some games do it. It's still bullshit, but it's far better than what it was if you consider cross-play important. |
Quote:
CEO of Chucklefish studios pretty much stated Sony never wanted any real talks nor gave them any concrete answer that they were not allowed prior to Wargroove's launch on PS4. Even the 2 games they approved were mostly due to outside reasons than Sony being sincere about their support. Fortnite had the purchases debacle and Rocket League had the favoritism debacle that left Sony in no position to keep rejecting it. |

Apparently Koei Tecmo caused a pretty bad scene during this year's EVO Japan tournament. Caused their portion of the stream from the event to get pulled from Twitch.
Seems EVO officials were not fond of how raunchy Tecmo's segment promoting Dead or Alive 6 was veering towards the longer it kept on going. Quote:

Fucking EVO officials apologizing and stating that Tecmo's presentation didn't meet their "core values"
Yet Mortal Kombat will be at EVO, with all it's characters being brutally maimed, decapitated, vivisected, etc, etc. Swear to god, we are the most sexually repressed first world country in existence. |

According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, a trademark filed by Alfonso Ribeiro for The Carlton Dance was recently denied by the US Patent & Trademark Office.
Official reason was due to the USPTO feeling the breakdown of the dance does not fit their legal definiation of choreographic work for trademarks. Quote:

Nintendo and Microsoft are currently rumored to be collaborating on a big project not related to Xbox Game Pass or a Switch port of Ori. Also rumored that RARE might be involved in this collaboration.
Another rumor floating around the net implies that Nintendo might be considering the idea of buying RARE and/or still have plans for a N64 Classic but need RARE on board due to their iconic legacy on the N64. |
During a recent interview with IGN, 343 Industries boss Bonnie Ross revealed Microsoft seriously considered the idea of Gearbox becoming the new developer for the Halo series after Bungie left.
At the time, Microsoft was looking for a new developer to handle the series and Gearbox was their top choice. Main reason was due to Gearbox handled the PC port of Halo and had the most experience with the series after Bungie. In the end, Microsoft decided to form an internal studio to handle the series, which led to the creation of 343 Industries. https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/02...ign-unfiltered |

THQ Nordic just pulled off arguably one of the biggest PR blunders in gaming history.
They recently held an AMA session on a website which on any normal day would be a fun occasion and full of useful info about games and the company itself. Except for today since THQ Nordic decided to hold it on 8chan without realizing the infamous rep the site has on the net to the point it got blacklisted by Google at one point. Worst part is Nordic could have legit avoided the whole thing since they got immediate backlash when they first announced they were holding the AMA and yet still went ahead with doing it in the end. Supposedly THQ Nordic claims they were unaware of the infamous nature of the website nor the questions asked but also haven't punished/fired the guy responsible for it at the moment. Same for the guy in Nordic responsible for it claiming he didn't bother to do any background checking on the site and only agreed to do one because the site said nothing bad would happen during it.

In a lighter tone, website VentureBeat recently held an interview with former Naughty Dog and EA writer/director Amy Hennig discussing the future of traditional single-player focused games.
Quote:
https://venturebeat.com/2019/02/22/a...mers/view-all/ https://www.destructoid.com/amy-henn...y-544299.phtml |
Are Spider-man and Read dead redemption 2 exceptions as well? How about Resident Evil 2 Remake?
Some of these people won’t be satisfied until there are no single player games and everything is a “live service” designed to squeeze as much money as possible from the consumer. |
Red Dead Redemption 2 was actually used during the interview as a case for why too much side content and padding in story-driven games can be bad.
Something like barely 22% managed to actually finish the story because there was way too much stuff distracting players from completing it. Plus once Red Dead Online got released, I'd assume the percentage of new players finishing the story dropped even lower. |
There's always going to be single player games out there. Sony's first party studios are good for churning out titles on a regular basis. We'll always know that Rockstar is good for their product, too. Bunch of others to mention, but you get the idea.
With "all the rage" these days being Fortnite, battle royale style games, free to play, etc., they're in a league of their own. If Amy Hennig is implying to games such as Destiny, The Division, Monster Hunter World, and now Anthem. Well, yeah, that's the way some developers are going in making their games. |
Probably something more like Ubisoft games in recent years and CoD Black Ops 4 where a once flourishing single player narrative or even one at all has been getting a lot less of the focus in favor of "live services" and current trends.
In Ubisoft's case, its more of them bloating their games with too much side content and focusing on the "live services" model. In Black Ops 4's case, tossing single player away in favor of hoping on the Battle Royale money train. |

Sounding like it's gonna be a dull E3 with Sony and now EA not doing major pressers.
|
Outside of a few exceptions, EA usually held the most boring conference at E3 for years so not that big of a loss in terms of entertainment quality.
At least with Sony, they did hint at likely being back next year and were upfront of not really having anything major to showoff for this year. Pretty much tipped their hands of next year being the big reveal of the PS5. Same for all the recent rumors of Microsoft likely showing off the next Xbox at next year's E3. |

According to reports, Epic Games recently won a big legal victory in regards to the on-going dance emotes controversy in Fortnite.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently issued a two part ruling with the first part involving all lawsuits against Epic that did not have their dance trademarks/copyrights approved beforehand must be dropped. This pretty much covers all the lawsuits that have been filed against the company. The other part involves any lawsuit forced to be dropped can be resubmitted at a later date should the plaintiff gain legal ownership of their dance. This ruling pretty much stacks the odds in favor of Epic Games for lawsuits. https://www.pcgamesn.com/fortnite/em...wsuits-dropped https://www.destructoid.com/supreme-...s-545967.phtml |
