So down for that Zelda remake.

Also Sony didn't lie at all about being more open to cross-play. Their previous stance was NO CROSSPLAY FOR YOU. Now they at least let some games do it. It's still bullshit, but it's far better than what it was if you consider cross-play important.

They did in the sense of managing to fool a bunch of developers of being more open to talks and then blaming them for why only 2 games support the feature on the PS4.

CEO of Chucklefish studios pretty much stated Sony never wanted any real talks nor gave them any concrete answer that they were not allowed prior to Wargroove's launch on PS4.

Even the 2 games they approved were mostly due to outside reasons than Sony being sincere about their support. Fortnite had the purchases debacle and Rocket League had the favoritism debacle that left Sony in no position to keep rejecting it.

Apparently Koei Tecmo caused a pretty bad scene during this year's EVO Japan tournament. Caused their portion of the stream from the event to get pulled from Twitch.

Seems EVO officials were not fond of how raunchy Tecmo's segment promoting Dead or Alive 6 was veering towards the longer it kept on going.

Hulk Hogan wannabe Bass Armstrong had performed a pile driver on Nyotengu and the camera was paused at an angle that looked rather sexual. The stream was abruptly pulled during this bit.

Fucking EVO officials apologizing and stating that Tecmo's presentation didn't meet their "core values"

Yet Mortal Kombat will be at EVO, with all it's characters being brutally maimed, decapitated, vivisected, etc, etc. Swear to god, we are the most sexually repressed first world country in existence.

According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, a trademark filed by Alfonso Ribeiro for The Carlton Dance was recently denied by the US Patent & Trademark Office.

Official reason was due to the USPTO feeling the breakdown of the dance does not fit their legal definiation of choreographic work for trademarks.

Quote:
Originally Posted by Destructoid
"The dancer sways their hips as they step from side to side, while swinging their arms in an exaggerated manner," states Performing Arts Registration specialist Saskia Florence. "In the second dance step, the dancer takes two steps to each side while opening and closing their legs and their arms in unison. In the final step, the dancer's feet are still and they lower one hand from above their head to the middle of their chest while fluttering their fingers. The combination of these three dance steps is a simple routine that is not registrable as a choreographic work."
Also hurting his claim was the very long wait from when he created the dance to filing an official trademark for it.

Apparently Ubisoft is currently working on a tv series for their unreleased Skull & Bones game. Atlas Entertainment is producing the series with Ubisoft and is currently planned to debut well before the game itself gets released.

Amanda Segal (executive producer of The Mist) will write and produce the pilot episode with help from Atlas' Andy Horwitz, Richard Suckle and Robert Amidon.

If Ubisoft thinks they're looking to replace or be a better show than Black Sails, they're sadly mistaken.

Looks like EA has its sights set on killing off another studio possibly soon. Kotaku reporting that a big wave of layoffs recently hit EA's mobile games studio in Australia.

Based on some numbers, 80-100 people were laid off and represents around 10% of the total gaming dev workforce in all of Australia.

FireMonkeys, which was created in 2012 after EA merged IronMonkey Studios and FireMint, is one of the largest development houses in Australia. Focused exclusively on mobile development, the company is responsible for making Real Racing 3, as well as The Sims: Freeplay and Need for Speed: No Limits.

In 2016, the company moved to a new office in Docklands and was hailed as the largest mobile game developer in the country, with Victorian Minister for Creative Industries Martin Foley praising the studio's history as "one of innovation, creativity and global success".

The studio was also developing Real Racing 4, although it's understood that the project was officially cancelled earlier this week. Following that decision, executives from EA have flown in from overseas to affect wholesale changes across the studio. Those decisions included the cancellation of Real Racing 4 and a reorganisation of staff across the titles currently under their management, which includes The Sims Mobile.

Mobile games? Can't say I'm devastated, though it's another price of working for EA. It's the one fear I have for Respawn.

Nintendo and Microsoft are currently rumored to be collaborating on a big project not related to Xbox Game Pass or a Switch port of Ori. Also rumored that RARE might be involved in this collaboration.

Another rumor floating around the net implies that Nintendo might be considering the idea of buying RARE and/or still have plans for a N64 Classic but need RARE on board due to their iconic legacy on the N64.

During a recent interview with IGN, 343 Industries boss Bonnie Ross revealed Microsoft seriously considered the idea of Gearbox becoming the new developer for the Halo series after Bungie left.

At the time, Microsoft was looking for a new developer to handle the series and Gearbox was their top choice. Main reason was due to Gearbox handled the PC port of Halo and had the most experience with the series after Bungie.

In the end, Microsoft decided to form an internal studio to handle the series, which led to the creation of 343 Industries.

THQ Nordic just pulled off arguably one of the biggest PR blunders in gaming history.

They recently held an AMA session on a website which on any normal day would be a fun occasion and full of useful info about games and the company itself.

Except for today since THQ Nordic decided to hold it on 8chan without realizing the infamous rep the site has on the net to the point it got blacklisted by Google at one point.

Worst part is Nordic could have legit avoided the whole thing since they got immediate backlash when they first announced they were holding the AMA and yet still went ahead with doing it in the end.

Supposedly THQ Nordic claims they were unaware of the infamous nature of the website nor the questions asked but also haven't punished/fired the guy responsible for it at the moment. Same for the guy in Nordic responsible for it claiming he didn't bother to do any background checking on the site and only agreed to do one because the site said nothing bad would happen during it.

In between legitimate questions about the state of THQ Nordic's franchises, users dropped further references to child pornography and Nazism. Pollice and Brock played along, answering the relevant questions, for about an hour.

Not exactly a great look, we’re sure you’ll agree.

In a lighter tone, website VentureBeat recently held an interview with former Naughty Dog and EA writer/director Amy Hennig discussing the future of traditional single-player focused games.

"The idea of a finite eight-ish-hour experience that has no second modes, no online — the only replayability was the fact that you could unlock cheats and stuff like that...That doesn't fly anymore." She continues to say that most games need some kind of extra component, which usually takes the form of a multiplayer suite. You can even see this happening with the current trend of "games as a service" and even battle royale titles.
Pretty much stated games like last year's God of War are going to be an exception since the biggest obstacle to story-driven games in years has been that the vast majority of players don't finish them and gaming companies have done a bad job addressing this problem.

Are Spider-man and Read dead redemption 2 exceptions as well? How about Resident Evil 2 Remake?

Some of these people won’t be satisfied until there are no single player games and everything is a “live service” designed to squeeze as much money as possible from the consumer.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was actually used during the interview as a case for why too much side content and padding in story-driven games can be bad.

Something like barely 22% managed to actually finish the story because there was way too much stuff distracting players from completing it. Plus once Red Dead Online got released, I'd assume the percentage of new players finishing the story dropped even lower.

There's always going to be single player games out there. Sony's first party studios are good for churning out titles on a regular basis. We'll always know that Rockstar is good for their product, too. Bunch of others to mention, but you get the idea.

With "all the rage" these days being Fortnite, battle royale style games, free to play, etc., they're in a league of their own.

If Amy Hennig is implying to games such as Destiny, The Division, Monster Hunter World, and now Anthem. Well, yeah, that's the way some developers are going in making their games.

Probably something more like Ubisoft games in recent years and CoD Black Ops 4 where a once flourishing single player narrative or even one at all has been getting a lot less of the focus in favor of "live services" and current trends.

In Ubisoft's case, its more of them bloating their games with too much side content and focusing on the "live services" model. In Black Ops 4's case, tossing single player away in favor of hoping on the Battle Royale money train.
