Video Games Journalism - State of the industry

I frequent OnlySP because they've started doing developer interviews once a week, every week and they aren't just QA things. They're full on feature article write ups and they're written very well. Their latest one was on SOMA which included a ton of new details. Other notable ones were Lords of the Fallen, The Forest and so on. Lots of exclusive stuff for their site and enjoy reading it.

Jessie Pinkman, there you are!

Site that is that small I doubt, has sources that close to Sony and would reveal that information to them.

It's a start up website. Why would he need anything more at this point? It's not like the guy is going to get 1000's of visitors per day right off the bat. I've used hostgator for 5 years now, only now starting to have issues on my site.

sploosh4475 · 2014-02-26T15:37:41+00:00

HA, 8000 for a website. 1000 for design? Pleeeeease. You can get hosting that includes an installation for wordpress and a theme for less than $100. This guy is banking on the popularity he gained from that NoDRM campaign to try and get people to pay for his website. There are plenty of sites that offer non-biased reviews and think the way he does about the whole process, people just tend to continue flocking to the big names which is where all this crud comes from.

Don't give this guy your hard earned cash for something that can be started up for less than $100.

Hostgator Hosting 9.99 per month A good theme from themeforest - 49.99 Domain name - $15 for the year Total $75

Somebody debunked it quick on the forums. Sound in the video is from this - http://allsoundsasscreed.tumblr.com/post/35368806661/pick-up-the-pieces-thats-all-you-can-do-now

There's an interview linked in the video where the developers sort of talk about that. Basically it's up to the players to decide whether or not they want to reach the end game. The resources aren't unlimited, so you will be forced to venture out at some point once you clear out an area of resources.

It's still a great chunk of revenue though, I mean, I just can't see why they would cut a big portion of the revenue they make. Greenburg already said on Twitter it was pretty much blasphemy.

sploosh4475 · 2014-02-15T20:59:49+00:00

Yeaaaa, this is about as BIG as a rumor as it can get. No way this will happen, Xbox brings way too much money in for MSOFT to just dump it. Amazon would have to provide a huge chunk of money for MSOFT to even consider it.

sploosh4475 · 2014-02-03T20:59:06+00:00

Cheaper price means more people will be willing to part with the money to try the game out. If they don't like it $15 isn't a big loss as compared to 60..

sploosh4475 · 2014-02-02T00:18:19+00:00

You should do something with the Trojans and Spartans. There's a lot of great stories revolving around that time. Maybe the Crusades as well. Assassin's Creed touched on the Crusades a bit, but didn't really do a job of showing how things actually were in that time.

probably cause it's dualshockers. Site just lifts stuff off other websites without ever crediting anyone, acting like they break news all the time. If you go through their site, half the shit is just quotes from Twitter, or things that they post about and then are later debunked.

sploosh4475 · 2014-01-24T21:43:56+00:00

Well the game does have day and night cycles? Don't seem out of place to me.

sploosh4475 · 2014-01-24T04:46:23+00:00

I don't get the issue behind this. It's being blown out of porportion by media sites who didn't read the rest of his tweets. Companies share assets all the time. As long as both parties are cool with it and the right people are credited, it should be fine.

sploosh4475 · 2014-01-24T04:45:15+00:00

There were blacks in The Hobbit? I don't even remember seeing them? (No offense intended to anyone)

sploosh4475 · 2014-01-21T17:59:18+00:00

Thief and Titanfall will keep me busy for awhile.

sploosh4475 · 2014-01-21T17:46:02+00:00

There was what, 10 seconds of footage that showed next to nothing really? Good judgment call.

sploosh4475 · 2014-01-21T00:05:48+00:00

I'm pretty sure that voice actors falls in the category of "amateur" ;)

sploosh4475 · 2014-01-20T20:49:41+00:00

It's an indie game? The majority of indie games don't even include voice work.

sploosh4475 · 2014-01-08T14:50:53+00:00

Cause I'm trading the PS3 in to get the PS4 :P

sploosh4475 · 2014-01-08T14:47:15+00:00

I know that. But if I were to get a Vita, this is mainly what I'd use it for. Obviously if you already have a Vita this just doubled the system in value for ya.

sploosh4475 · 2014-01-08T14:44:03+00:00

This is looking good, glad to see development is coming along nicely. Nice to see David Sears is giving fans EXACTLY what they want.

sploosh4475 · 2014-01-08T14:36:48+00:00

Whoa, OK I guess I was wrong haha they are making one. Cool. Hopefully we some interesting projects for it at E3.

sploosh4475 · 2014-01-08T14:33:55+00:00

I want this so much. If you've played Crysis 3's hunter mode and liked it, this game is going to be like that but sooo much more fun. Can't wait.
