Not surprised this didn't happen after seeing the state of the demo at the time, but I just remembered Streets of Rogue 2 was supposed to launch in early access more than a year ago 😨

i cannot stop thinking about one moment in the first five minutes of expediton 33, it is such a singularly defining video game moment that it will stay with me forever. it might be the truest expression of Video Games as an art

I really don't get the TGA seat filler "controversy", seems like a good alternative to overbooking..?
(I also very much don't understand the "this is shit and no one should pay attention but I should have invites so that I could leave/not go" line of thinking that helps justifies the seat filling 🙃)

So a few days ago there was this announcement for an android emulation frontend that riffed on the wii UI and even wanted to have basically miiverse. My main thought was "seems nice, and no drama too!"
Well... I should have known. 24h later the discord had already imploded because of controversies.

Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.
Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.
An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.
We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

"From the creators of TimeSplitters and GoldenEye" is already a wild way to market a scrabble x balatro, but it's nothing compared to the insanity of those random genAI'd "jokers".
What the fuck is anyone involved thinking??? They're absolutely meaningless.

"Ignore what the game tells you and all its clear intentions and assume it was a trick to misdirect you from the REAL intended truth, that you can only find by being told by someone on twitch or youtube who is just making things up" lines up pretty accurately with how people treat the lore too

"an absolute no-no" okay I thought I was using hyperbole in discussing how people talk about this stuff but fuck me. Every time an intentionally disturbing creative decision raises controversy, it's like "wuh oh. :/ I guess they didn't realize how this looks to Normal People. Whoopsie-doodle."
i know you’re not supposed to read the conversation in the comments but the conversation is depressing and anti-art in all the typical ways to justify censorship… like there’s so much to unpack here especially with how quickly people paint art as “abuse” when it discusses difficult topics.

Partway through but this is fun.
10+ years ago I did something similar with Assassin's Creed, but that was even more obvious since copy pasted games resulted in copy pasted reviews.

Reminder to not assume that what you're reading is true.
Doing tabloid stuff, stirring shit up to make people mad, is somehow still the norm for video games, and having creators say you basically made shit up is a rite of passage instead of a shameful breach of trust.
This is hurting everyone.

Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada says he’s "quite interested" in Capcom’s decision to charge fans to stream upcoming Street Fighter 6 tournament finals.
"A lot of influencers are making big money off of their streams," Harada said.

Idk why anyone thinks Tim Epic is wrong about AI, have you seen what AAA studios are doing? Every day there's a new drama about people finding AI art and the studios going "but it's all unintentional!!!" (Which is a lie but also that would be worse)
As for Epic... Have you seen UE5 games at all???
