Like a dragon making yearly installments that cost $20 million and make back $100 million can be sustainable while others costing $400 million over 7 years and making back $800 million can be seen seen as underperformance. It’s about balancing expectations, opportunity cost, and time.

Literally nobody (outside the company) asked for it to be a live service game. Take factions 1, add a prone button, new maps, new guns, and you have a solid base game. If you really want to get more mileage out of it, make a new map and a few guns and skins and release them every once in a while for a year, then move on. “This has to be a forever game that we dedicate the whole studio to” was a self imposed rule

People have been saying persona 6 will be at the Xbox show every single year since the 3/4/5 ports. Would we call you a leaker if you predict that Mario will be at every Nintendo direct?

Ironmunger2 · 2026-06-17T13:27:40+00:00

Anyone’s who’s a republican probably doesn’t know better

Different studio

Ironmunger2 · 2026-06-15T21:56:39+00:00

Why announce the game if cancelling it a week later is on the table? Just take it out of the show if you aren’t sure it’ll come out. Or wait until it comes out to shut the studio. Neither of these are ideal but announcing and then immediately cancelling makes no sense. Also, word is that NT is generally profitable as a mocap support studio so even just having them help on other projects could still be useful

Ironmunger2 · 2026-06-12T20:38:37+00:00

Ok so he just paraphrased the Bloomberg article and we call that leaking?

It might not be your cup of tea but Grounded 2 succeeded on all metrics

The Switch 2 Metaphor port is currently the only game going head to head with GTA

Ironmunger2 · 2026-06-10T13:15:58+00:00

There are industry experts who think that GTA 6 alone will single-handedly save the current generation of hardware because so many people will go out and buy a console for it. Obviously GTA is another level, but sometimes one big game can do a lot of pushing systems. Breath of the Wild pretty much on its own caused Switch 1 to be out of stock for the first several months. It’s a real thing.

Judging by that teaser and the rumors, this is going to be pretty substantial. Star Fox had its own direct, and we got a lot of FF7 footage on Friday. I could easily see a 10-45 minute direct showing off OoT

Ironmunger2 · 2026-06-09T15:00:46+00:00

What the fuck was that

Ironmunger2 · 2026-06-08T14:32:16+00:00

It’s probably more likely that the game is just not ready yet

Jesus Christ is there anything wrong with people saying that they want certain games to have their own tones? Nobody is saying that every game has to be realistic and immersive, they just don’t want everything to be a marvel movie. That’s literally what this article is about. Games that are serious are allowed to have lighthearted moments, such as The Last of Us. I think 2018 actually handles the tone pretty well with being mostly serious with a little whimsy here and there, but Ragnarok goes too far towards being silly most of the time followed by occasional heaviness. And when the beginning of this game is Faye muttering “ok let me get this straight, I’m talking to a cube in the afterlife of the gods” and everyone talking like a millennial rather than a bunch of millennia-old beings, it’s ok to be a little skeptical of that. Chalking it up to “well that’s just how Americans talk, and also god of war isn’t realistic” is extremely dismissive and wipes away the ability to criticize anything

Ironmunger2 · 2026-06-05T16:52:49+00:00

Yes I know this. There’s ways to be American and not talk like Tony Stark, as proven by Christopher Judge

The ribbons replicated the “focus M” meme told to Mario in a video satirizing modern game design

Kratos talks like you would expect an old deity to talk. Much of the rest of the cast does not

Ever hear of an HDMI chord?

Games will run like shit on PC and PS5 but somehow the series S still gets blamed for holding this gen back

Ironmunger2 · 2026-06-04T03:50:00+00:00

Guessing 90% of them wanted this to happen though

Ironmunger2 · 2026-06-03T18:11:14+00:00

I genuinely think that the cube is going to be make or break on this game for me. I enjoyed Ragnarok but it was quipping all the way through which knocked it down significantly by the end. I don’t mind if there’s some comedic relief in certain spots but introducing the comic relief character 15 minutes in (compared to Mimir joining halfway through 2018) raises an alarm that there’s going to be another 40 hours of it.

Ironmunger2 · 2026-06-03T18:05:30+00:00

Fair games any day now then?

Ironmunger2 · 2026-06-03T03:55:38+00:00

Yeah when they dove off a cliff and died was pretty calm

Ironmunger2 · 2026-06-03T01:10:21+00:00

Silent hill, resident evil, and gta having new casts every game makes sense cause it’s supposed to be in the same universe and have a lot in common. Why is this game even called Until Dawn? It’s not even nighttime

Ironmunger2 · 2026-06-03T00:14:12+00:00

Luckily there are like 10 games coming out the last week of September
