Re: Publisher 505 Games Closes Offices in France, Germany, Spain

If companies can't afford their staff or studios, why would they take on risky projects? It's worrying to see a tenth of devs at studios laid off and all the restructuring going on. Games are more expensive than ever to make, and the expectations of quality in production are higher than ever. So if you scale back, how can you achieve even that new 'baseline', let alone push the medium... I worry we may experience a plateau for a time

Re: Star Wars Battlefront Pack Lights Up PS Store Pre-Order Charts

We want multiplayer games. I'm playing through Last of Us part II again and it just makes me lament no Factions MP is coming, unless it's in Last of Us part 3 (doubt it, at least at release). Factions would sell so well if it was just a $20 package of maps and multiplayer like the first game... So frustrating

Re: Stellar Blade's Protagonist's Body Is Based on This Real-World Korean Model

Listen, it's just really great when devs make a beautiful body for their characters, especially when it's contextually acceptable. Would I want Ellie to have been rocking some ripped jeans with a phat ass- no, never. It just doesn't make sense. But if you're going to make a Bayonetta-esque character for your Asiatic action game gimme that eye candy baby You can add beauty to your game in all sorts of ways, graphics, textures, animations, faces, BODIES. My God, what a body the main character has. I got more invested in Baldur's Gate 3 because Shadowheart and my character were both hot as hell and had beautiful faces. It's just part of being human and I'm all-in for sexualization if it fits.
