Most of the games that are marketed as indies nowadays are just AA trying to look indie. AA never disappeared, it just changed.

I won't mind if the people went "get video games out of my politics!!"

Also, shadow dropping games sucks. Mess with your own games MS, not with beloved games like Ninja Gaiden.

You should post that pic whenever you make it to discover tab.

I don't think we need to be worried about them. They have moved on from just development and now work on both developing their games and publishing other's games too.

I don't know where the 0.02 stat comes from, but it is not surprising. Xbox shot themselves in the foot with relying so much on gamepass. Almost everyone who would want to play it would probably already be subscribed to gp.

What's this thing about the vocal racist? I am not aware.

I hope they apply these bans in a strict manner. These mtx filled games are very exploitative of their audience.

I don't remember the specifics, but iirc the same developers as Destruction Allstars were making it, but after DAS didn't do well, they gave it to some other developer, and then ended up cancelling it after that.

I guess they first want to get footing in the live service share, and then worry about management later.

I usually just play games in english, but I might have to check Japanese audio for this one.

Found it on a post by @realradec.bsky.social. Tried including the credits in the main post, but hit character limit.

I didn't know this tidbit about it being the local dialect of the area.

They already did that with SM2 and GOWR. But reusing assets is not a silver bullet, and a solution to only a small part of the bigger problem. It works for RGG because they work on a single series.

What Sony needs right now is better management.

Thanks for the timestamp. This is the kind of story I was expecting it to be lol.

I hope after you sell some 40-50 million copies, you will regale us with the tale of how you got Swery and Shuhei Yoshida to voice the roles.
