Dragon Quest and Nier games might have more in common than you’d think, as one Square Enix producer discusses that both series rely a lot on outsourced developers.Speaking at BitSummit Punch last month (spotted and translated by Genki_JPN on Twitter), Yosuke Saito – who’s credited as a producer on Nier, Nier: Automata, the Replicant remaster, and Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age, amongst many others – notes that the two RPG series are created in similar ways, with neither being made entirely with in-house developers.In Nier: Automata’s case, of course, while Square Enix was the publisher, PlatinumGames was…
An hour into Entropy, the new turn-based RPG from Dread Delusion studio Lovely Hellplace, I stumbled on three randos frenziedly interrogating a severed head. In theory, the head belonged to a demon, one of the hellspawn who had recently laid the realm to waste, but the bystanders seemed… ambiguous on this front. I wasn’t really in a position to judge: by this point in the demo, my party had already hacked a number of arms off, and in any case, many of Entropy’s demons are rogue body parts to begin with. One of the early enemies is a walking…
Hearing squeaky little voices in your online games may be a thing of the past, at least in the United Kingdom. As the British government continues to take steps to combat the effects of the internet on young people, one possible inclusion in the Online Safety Act would ban children from using voice chat in online games like Fortnite and Roblox to talk to strangers. Concerns about the safety of children online have been a big issue over the last few years, and the UK government has already introduced age verification checks on services like Discord in an attempt to…
Zynga founder Mark Pincus says developers need to ignore their egos and become more comfortable with the idea of copying other games.As reported by MobileGamer.biz, Pincus explains his framework, which he calls ‘Proven Better New’, in his new book Life at the Speed of Play.According to Pincus, his framework consists of Proven (copying the exact features and mechanics – “every pixel” – that is already loved by the target audience), Better (deciding what can be improved) and New (adding an entirely new idea, which is the “riskiest part” and has to be isolated and tested).Some developers are so concerned with…
Sometimes I don’t know what I want until I know what I don’t. It’s been six years since Far Cry 6 dropped us off on the island of Yara, five of which I’ve spent wondering how developer Ubisoft might one-up on its greatest hit (cough: that’s Far Cry 5) with Far Cry 7 in development as of 2021.But I’m not here to argue about the best Far Cry games, despite how correct I am. I wish I had more positivity to share, but from Ubisoft’s alleged use of generative AI to the harsh real-world time limits spoken of in various…
Set in a town that’s equal parts Silent Hill and Twin Peaks, Silver Pines puts you into the gumshoes of private investigator Red Walker as he tracks down missing musician Eddie Velvet. The investigation hits a slight hiccup when ravenous monsters that want to eat your flesh down to the bones start to impede your enquiries. We’ve known about the sidescrolling metroidvania for a while, but it’s now got a Steam demo you can play and a release date you can hunger for. October 8th, the creepiest 8th day of the month in the year.
Bungie is trying out something unique with Marathon Season 2, creating what it calls a “PvP lite and low-risk way” to play the game, set aside from regular runs. The mode, named Sponsored Survival, will drop a single crew into the new zone, Night Marsh, free to loot and fight UESC bots to their heart’s content. That is, at least, for a little while, because as the game progresses, some unwelcome visitors are set to arrive, desperate to steal any gear they can get their hands on. The mode, dropping as part of the FPS game’s Season 2 update on…
