And rounding things out, we translated a Disaster Report (Zettai Zetsumei Toshi) interview from 2002 with producer Kazuma Kujo. It's a quick read but manages to cover some nice ground on the game mechanics and character design. shmuplations.com/zettaizetsum...

Speaking as someone who's worked with Capcom, stays in touch with its people, and has, shall we say, professional room to maneuver, I'll just say that contrary to what the technical director in the IGN article asserts, I know for a *fact* many Capcom employees are VEHEMENTLY against this direction.
Capcom is another studio embracing gen-ai sadly. Popular titles include: Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Okami, Street Fighter, Ace Attorney, Devil May Cry, and Mega Man. -y

Had a lot of thoughts after watching Season 1 of Pluribus and couldn’t not share them.
On the show, System Shock 2 and the notion of collectivism.

Somehow ended up writing a bunch of words on Rambo, the 2008 arcade Sega game. Also some other things: pathological male rage, self-image and mass shooters.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Pleasantly surprised to learn that this video is actually about cool game UI (among a dozen other topics, it's a chaotic watch)
The most important point here is that the primary reason we're getting less varied and experimental interfaces in games is... the economy
