I’m thrilled to say that I will start work as lead programmer for Halo Infinite once I go back to school and get my degree and then get a few years of experience developing mobile games.

I think you need experience in forums racism for that position

Starting a new Journey for Fable!

We hope you were as excited as we are taking a first look at the new Fable experience we are creating.
Our community of Fablies is very important to us and based on your feedback we realized we need a bit more time to
create the ultimate Fable experience that fans have been waiting for.

To make this possible we've asked Peter Molyneux to join the team at PlayGround Games.
For those of you Steves and Sea of Thievers that have recently discovered Xbox -
Peter Molyneux was the original creator of Fable and pushed innovation at Xbox Studios (known then as Microsoft Game Studios) to new levels.
We welcome Peter to the team and before we take you on this new Fable Journey a few words from Peter.

Peter Molyneux: "Fable to me is a dream. The project that I originally created and I always wanted to go back to.
I am very grateful that Xbox Studios has once again put their faith in me. You could say I feel like Atlas
carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. And with that same responsibility I will assume duties
as creative director of this new massive, immersive and beautiful Fable experience. Powered by the latest technology.

When you wake up in this new world as Atlas, Richard, Hercules, Odessa or Margaret,
you will feel immersed by vast cities, with independent AI for every NPC. These NPC's can fall in love and start families,
creating an infinite number of new characters who will move into the world and start new towns and cities.
There can be love, there can be war, there can be festivities, there can be adventure and most of all there will be dreams.
Fable is the game of your dreams and Xbox will power those dreams and we can't wait to show you more in the future!"


Dream on Fablies!

It's pretty challenging, but will definitely give you those Mirror's Edge parkour vibes.  One thing that helps is once you hit a checkpoint, you'll auto respawn instantly there when you die- zero load times (at least on PC).  Makes having to replay a section multiple times not feel so tedious.

Because CP2077 is so controversial EA gets away with a very mediocre launch for their MOH VR game.

Ok, so I discovered in a thread about Super Meatboy Forever (autorunner bleh), that the main guy behind Super Meatboy (which was huge and popular) who went on and did Binding of Isaac (which was huge and popular) made...a spiritual sequel traditional hardcore platformer following up Isaac in 2017 called The End is Nigh...and it just flew under everyone's radar?

Like...I've never heard of it in the last 3 years. I look on Steam and there's only a couple hundred reviews compared to thousands for his other games. Isaac was really big on the internet, same with Meatboy, wth happened that he released another platformer and it just vanished? The reviews are good too.

Picked it up for a couple bucks now during the steam sale and will give it a try. It's just weird that this should have been a big deal Indie game, but I never heard of it.

Hooked up the PS3 to play some older games.

It's funny how a game like Motorstorm that blew me away in 2007 looks like absolute dogshit now.

So turns out the Death Stranding Cyberpunk 2077 crossover DLC has functional advantages gameplay-wise: hacking (can disable enemy scanners temporarily, use stun to KO enemies/vehicles remotely) and an improved melee 'Silverhand' punch.

It almost seems like it'd take the edge off some enemy encounters? Idk, maybe they balanced it.

Tried the demo.

The slow mo strafing bullet dodging thing feels fucking tedious over and over and kills the momentum along with all the trial & error. By the second stage just wasn't finding it fun at all. Glad there was a demo so I know to pass on it.

I have a feeling that Deus Ex will come back once they see the sales of this.

Same with MS pushing Perfect Dark next and EA with Mass Effect.
This industry is very simplistic in that sense.

 :dice

Marvel Avengers flopping as hard as it did and Cyberpunk 2077 selling 13 million copies despite being broken on last gen platforms is a perfect storm :rejoice

Love the 2D style of this little itch.io game. Has a kind of PETSCII-esque art style and they kept things like the text aliasing consistent.

Yeah thats annoying as fuck indeed. I dunno, I thought she was kinda hot because she was such a slut. I love when pornstars are just anxious to get some dick. Some seemed to really enjoy it, more than others. Sasha was such a girl imo.

But yea, she never shut the fuck up and that's kinda annoying.

Games are more popular than ever but another outlet is shutting down
https://www.usgamer.net/articles/press-start-to-continue

Quote
In USG's last year we launched Branching Narratives, a podcast devoted to thoughtful conversations with diverse voices throughout games; we told the stories of Devotion, Half-Life: Alyx, and Jet Set Radio, and we raised thousands of dollars for Black Lives Matter. Internally, we hit our stride as a publication, refining an editorial process that allowed us to consistently put out interesting and timely reporting despite being an extremely small team with few resources at our disposal. Our goal was to consistently find the industry stories that mattered; to give voice to the voiceless, and to cover games with the respect they deserved. I think we succeeded.
I don't, you wouldn't have to shutdown if you did.  :rodney

I thought USGamer was actually ok when Toasty Frog was still there. They had some pretty thoughtful articles about gaming, but without the obnoxious woke bent that Kotaku has to shove down your throat(I still like them but they can be real tryhards). It felt like a decent core gamer website.

But Eurogamer is just as good and does the same. It being Europe focus hardly seems to matter. Digital foundry at this point is kind of an institution as well.

This is great news.

The enthusiast press (particularly in the US) has become so incestuous and inward looking, and is run by such a tightly-knit "in-crowd", that the only way to save it is to let it all die and then try to revive it in a few years when the arseholes responsible for creating such a fucking shit heap are no longer involved.

The day Kotaku goes down will be one for celebration.
