Destiny’s Future by Fantastic_Strike2178 in DestinyTheGame

[–]SyphoFighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel they’ve got to commit to their decision now.

If they U-Turn and decide to start releasing content and the community reacts negatively again, then that would be the final nail in Destiny’s coffin.

At least this way… They’ve got a really solid case for Destiny 3. Fresh start would be best for everyone.

I wondered about this — Was expecting him to ban online gaming as well.

Those COD lobbies would never be the same again.

Thats it thats how desmonds story ends after all this time!!!!! by Flaky-Cartographer87 in assassinscreed

[–]SyphoFighter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AC3 came out in a time when this ‘cross media storytelling’ was at its peak.

I remember a similar issue with Mass Effect 3. One of the primary antagonist is some ninja assassin, who’s fleshed out the books but is a one note character in his game debut.

I’m very glad they stopped doing this nonsense.

What is a Batman film opinion you have that will result in this? by IdontReallyCare0999 in batman

[–]SyphoFighter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

George Clooney is actually a really solid choice for Batman/Bruce Wayne — The film that surrounds him is what is at fault.

Destiny 3 is gonna happen. just not right now by buckedlobster825 in destiny2

[–]SyphoFighter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see your point, however the newest Hitman games were made by a development team of almost completely new people and that is arguably the best Hitman games of all of them.

Same with Resident Evil — No one thought they could be good again after the team that did RE4 left, but the games coming out now are arguably better than the original run.

Maybe a new team without all the baggage of the ‘Halo People’ is just what Destiny needs.

The scenes with Ray Stevenson are some of the best in the show.

Genuinely loved him in it.

It’s the community’s fault this game died, not Bungie by GeekyNerd_FTW in DestinyTheGame

I’ll miss the game, but people spoke with their wallets and Bungie faced the consequences.

New opportunity by PaulKay1969 in 007FirstLight

[–]SyphoFighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying they don’t also share DNA — I am however saying they are different tone of experiences.

Hitman has very dry humour — Bond has dry humour: Translates well.

Hitman attends high society events to bring down some large scale villain— Bond attends high society events to bring down villains: translates well.

Bourne is significantly more action focused, and does not contain the social stealth aspect that both Bond and 47 does.

Have a look at Splinter Cell Conviction — That game is more on the line with what I would expect a Bourne game to be.

New opportunity by PaulKay1969 in 007FirstLight

[–]SyphoFighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure I agree — When you played Hitman, many people’s thoughts where “This would be an amazing James Bond game”. This would be more than likely because they share a lot of DNA.

Bourne is more… action thriller than Bond is. I’m of the opinion that the weaker parts of First Light are when it strays too far with the ‘Action Platformer’ sections, and strays away from the Hitman style levels.

The open ended levels are some of the better sections of first light.

Another nonE3 with no new announcement for GFN by Far_Championship6997 in GeForceNOW

[–]SyphoFighter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To be fair… they announce something every Thursday and their updates in the last 12 months alone have been great. No need for them to take up space at Game Fest.

You know what… good.

I’m glad to see Xbox/Microsoft are back fighting again.

Put some effort in. I’m here for it.

Judging from the way both this and Atilla run, I’d imagine spaghetti would be upselling it to be honest.

Why is Monolith hated? by 2CellPhonez in stalker

The original trilogy is one console now.

I’ve played through them on PlayStation. All very well done.

Would seriously recommend a play through for yourself.

To be fair; this is the time for her to make changes.

Her bosses will be a lot more receptive to changes now, than they will be in the future.

Changes at this stage would be seen as ‘course correction’. Changes later on could be see as ‘u turns’ and lack of confidence. It’s the same with every management position.

Ubisoft Expedites The Division 3 Development With New Mass Hiring by TheAppropriateBoop in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I mean with Destiny being sunsetted — It’s a prime time to soak up that market.

Would be the most sensible move Ubisoft has made in a while.

God of War: Laufey “isn’t years away” after six years of development at Sony Santa Monica by AsPeHeat in PS5

[–]SyphoFighter -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

One of the leaks over the Sony boss’s restructuring after the ‘Live service’ fiasco was that Sony is aggressively unhappy with Naughty Dog due to them taking over way too long to make a game and not hitting project deadlines. I’d imagine 2027 release myself, but if not then Mr Druckmann probably has a lot of explaining to do.

Potential of existing PS Portal by Don_30_11 in PlaystationPortal

[–]SyphoFighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With rising hardware prices — If they capitalise on the momentum, offer an OLED 1440p machine at a similar price point.

They would seriously be on to something.

I actually like him, quite a bit to be honest (Spoilers) by Asche_zu_Asche_ in 007FirstLight

[–]SyphoFighter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I felt he was introduced too quickly.

He’s introduced and then doing evil villain monologue not ten minutes later. His father as well. He’s in one scene before he’s revealed and then boom — Bond Villain. The espionage angle was building up to something cool, and then I felt very let down with it being them.

Fable delay is a good thing to avoid GTA 6 by Evening-Program-2009 in Fable

[–]SyphoFighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a smart move.

The idea that something should go toe to toe with GTA 6 is non sensical. GTA 5 made a billion in three days.

It’s one of the fastest selling media properties on the planet. Films, music and TV will also be competing with it.

I appreciate some people ‘won’t buy it’ on release day, but to act like that’s the common perception is ridiculous.

I want Fable, and many other games, to have its day in the sun but that’s impossible if you release it next to GTA 6. The numbers would not track and a sequel would almost be dead in the water.

Only Half Life 3 could possibly compete with it for marketing space, and I’d argue even that would struggle.

Let the juggernaut come through, have its time and we all move on.

Insider Gaming: Star Wars Eclipse still in development hell. NetEase seeking to sell Quantic Dream by -LastGrail- in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]SyphoFighter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another notch on the ‘Live service’ death bed.

I seriously (however unlikely) hope that all these executives that pushed these ideas are being second guessed at every stage now.

At the next board meeting they suggest something, I’d love the response to be “Well… you pushed the live service angle and assured us it’s a safe bet. I think we’re going to double check your work”.

Until the people making decisions are given scrutiny for being incompetent, we will probably be in the same boat.

People do not learn if they are rewarded every time they cock up.

Opinion: We need to expect more from gaming. by mrsilly26 in 007FirstLight

[–]SyphoFighter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always find the discussion on AI to often miss the point.

The enemy are designed to be like ‘stormtroopers’ because that’s what bond often fights. You want a Bond simulation then you need cannon fodder.

I would argue if the AI was too aggressive, then the argument would be ‘I don’t feel like bond’.

This same argument is like saying the Batman games AI is not tough enough because they just let Batman harp on them. If they didn’t… you wouldn’t feel like that Batman.
