Damn shame because Fig is the reason a lot of good games saw the light of day.
Yep, had a blast with Psychonauts 2, no way that game would have been made without it.
i’m all for it. console wars is just a waste of time and hurts game companies by having themselves tied to a console company.
Bottom left thinks the PC ports are devaluing his console like the last PS5 port was The Last of Us which sucked ass. This PC port will probably suck as well, they all do.
The God of War port is surprisingly well done, though.
Oh no…
Despite that fact, the German Ministry of Economic Affairs has seen fit to grant Daedalic a subsidy worth €2 million, to bolster the development of more titles set in the Lord of the Rings universe.
I am not sure why this sentence was put like it, the worth was granted almost a year ago, not after the release of Gollum. Also to the €2 million of worth, Daedalic has to invest at least the same amount. So this is not a freebie to make bad games. Here is a German summary of the support program. Top journalism right there. 
One should know that, no matter how innovative you think Germany is, we are super behind at making profitable games. I fear games like that will further ruin our position in game dev. Ideally this is just forgotten and better games come up. 
Not being profitable doesn’t mean that all games made in Germany are bad. I think it’s because there’s not much good advertising, especially back in the day and if there was, they only focused in Germany. I barely remember seeing articles about Gothic 3 yet Oblivion was talked about all the time.
More craziness from Bobby’s World
Figures…
I think what sucks is Redfall was very promise especially since it’s Arkane but it should have been left in the oven for another year.
The stuff of legends, Nintendo had a sequel to 1-2-Switch in development, and apparently it’s terrible.
“When playtesting groups received the game, the feedback to the development team was brutal. The target audiences Nintendo was hoping to hit — families with children — found the games boring; many didn’t even want to play through entire rounds. In the Bingo example, one player would use the joycon to mime digging out a number before reading it off the TV screen — a process that playtesters reported as tedious.”
The main mode of the game, the Team Battle Mode, pit at least two teams of players against each other in various minigames. This mode prominently featured Horse [the ‘host’], who would give color commentary during the games. During the localization process, sources started calling the game “Horseshit” as shorthand.
Oh, and they’re actually releasing it now! Lmao
It’s mind-blowing to me that Nintendo had the balls to sell 1-2 Switch for $50 instead of packing it in with the console like they did with Wii Sports on the Wii and Nintendo Land on the Wii U (both of which are better games and showcase their consoles better imo). It’s funny that Everybody 1-2-Switch, which presumably is bigger than the first one, is only being sold for $30. You know a game’s bad when even Nintendo isn’t trying to sell it for the highest price possible!
I just realised we are potentially going to have the beauty of having Peter and Miles both able to wear alternate suits at the same time in Spider-Man 2 PS5. (Hopefully, they’ll each have a S-V suit)
Death Stranding Director’s Cut for Mac, announced by Kojima himself.
A new toolkit for porting games to Mac is also announced, although it remains to be seen if it can simplify the process enough to make developers consider it worth it.
