Here’s hoping Notch will have some spare change to help fund my own game.

Lies. Blur failed because Activision didn’t market it. The market hasn’t shrunk. Acti are full of shit.

I cant even buy PC games in the high street anymore. The high street stores made no effort to support the PC game community and now it bit them in the ass.

The train derailment on the tube was in particularly bad taste. Media watch are entirely on the ball with this one. My brother was on the tube when the bombs went off. He then got put on a bus, and was in the proximity when the double decker was destroyed. Still, it will sell billions, [...]

Money that would have been better spent on development…

or perhaps

“Our focus groups have told us console gamers just want cover shooters”

Im interested to find out what Prey 2 actually has in common with Prey. At the moment it just sounds like they are using the brand to sell another bland shooter.

Bullshit.

“We have lazy games designers who are going to drop one of the best features of the original game so we can make a bland corridor shooter.”

Looks good. Very good.

BUT WHY DO GREY?

Desaturation for the fail.

Its become a way for the big publishers to lock out the little guys. So they can become the “hollywood” of the games industry. Its bullshit. Some of the stuff they put on there costs as much as making the games themselves. What a joke.

I’ve lost all hope. I was really looking forward to it. Some of the early tech builds looked awesome and nothing like what it is now…

Shame that Sam “Sammy waters” Lake isn’t at the helm. Its a big loss.

Marketing and PR people are snakes. “By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing… kill yourself. No, no, no it’s just a little thought. I’m just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day, they’ll take root – I don’t know. You try, you do what you can. Kill yourself. Seriously though, if [...]

Just another big company who would rather pay their lawyers than their developers.

Great news. However much I loved WOL I felt it missed the professional quality of develop.

I guess its pretty difficult for a game to be so bad that its good.

Thats some pretty bad behaviour. I am pretty against scoring in reviews however. Since a game can be many things, giving it a score can seem pretty arbitrary. In the world of metacritic and you’ve got a recipe to ruin companies. Some of my favourite films score terribly on metacritic, yet very few of my [...]

The problem with this is there is an overhead with multithreading.

When the cores themselves are performance limited you end up wasting what resources you do have locking data and switching threads.

Seems like a good way to move to a cheaper eastern workforce without getting everyone angry.

Commission a multimillion pound game development and then not market it.

Then blame its failure on the devs and close the studio.

Nice.

Shame this legitimate journalism is overshadowed by the propaganda filth that the Murdoch empire spouts.
