Re: Xbox Boss Wishy-Washy on Whether The Elder Scrolls 6 Will Come to PS6, PS5

Futureshark

Phil Spencer says
“It’s so far out it’s hard to understand what the platforms will even be. We’re talking about a game that’s five-plus years away.”

Yet Matt Booty says "major AAA projects will now take anywhere from four years to six years to create."

So this kind of shows the terrible planning that goes on regarding game development at Xbox hq.

Or
One or both of these men is full of it.

Re: Fairgame$ May Be Sony's Most Tone Deaf PS5, PC Title to Date

Futureshark

"This all strikes us as incredibly tone deaf in 2023, especially during a cost of living crisis. We appreciate the game’s probably not trying to make any kind of political commentary, but the premise rubs us the wrong way."

Got to say, using that point, I think the constant release of Call of Duty during the Russian invasion of Ukraine is also incredibly tone-deaf. Does that also rub you up the wrong way too?

Re: Warhammer 40k's Blood-Soaked Boomer Shooter Gets Extended Gameplay Trailer

Futureshark

"Baby boomers, sometimes shortened to boomers, are the demographic cohort following the Silent Generation and preceding Generation X. The generation is often defined as people born from 1946 to 1964, during the mid-20th century baby boom"

If I remember my history, original DOOM came out in 1993 (Wolfenstein a year before), some 31 years before the end of the 'Boomer' generation.

So to call them Boomer shooters (and the people who play them Boomers) is actually wrong, unless the target audience for Warhammer Boltgun are aged between 59 & 77.

Really they should be called Gen X shooter, but that doesn't rhyme (so bad for easy internet labels) and also post Gen X generations are jealous as Gen X was the coolest generation (says me).

Re: Days Gone Dev Can't Wait to Show You Its First PS5 Exclusive

Futureshark

Days Gone was a great game, especially after being patched up and boosted for PS5.
Some people may not find the character sympathetic (are we supposed to sympathise with all characters in every game? A question for another forum topic), but the tech level behind the game was very impressive I thought.

Re: Horizon Vocalist Receives Abuse Over the Use of Her Voice

Futureshark

Shame people poor so much energy into this hateful nonsense, rather then using same energy to do something positive in the world.

Seriously, at what level of anger and personal outrage do people get to where they make the effort to find cast members of a game and then send them abuse for reading lines they were given. Just so much ignorance on so many levels.
