From The Guardian: "Murray and Hello Games coded a near-infinite universe and survived a harassment ordeal. For two years, they’ve stuck by the game that put them on the map – and led to death threats"
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Outriders developer People Can Fly's next game has been canceled after its publishing agreement with Take-Two Interactive fell through.
"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."
If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.
Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.
I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.
$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?
This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.
Release the game you advertise. It's not hard.
“No Man’s Sky was what we wanted it to be when it launched,” he maintains.
Pretty much everything you need to know about this con-artist. He was very well aware they were lying about what they were advertising and selling to gamers and what they actually released. It's rare that a shady person would actually admit that they knowingly and willingly lied about false advertising and this should be posted on every game he tries to make in the future to make people aware that he is a liar.
At least he stuck by his product and improved it which is more than some companies *coughBiowareMassEffectcough*
My frustrations were fueled by the fact that they went radio silent at launch. They released a game without a bunch of advertised features, $60, then we didn't hear from them at all. All that negativity was deserved. If they had only addressed it, it would've been very different. Fire that PR person
I still remember when the game was first revealed, when the only information was "you pilot a space ship and there's a huge number of planets", and people already started saying "this will be the best game ever!". The developers did promise some things that were not in the game, but I don't think they could've done anything to prevent disappointment after the huge hype people created by themselves.
