Re: Hideki Kamiya Launches YouTube Channel And Reveals His Upcoming Plans

@DanijoEX-the-Pierrot The thing is, Kamiya was currently directing a new IP, which was also supposed to be the first self-published platinum games project and was also presented as "the climax of Kamiya's Super hero trilogy".

It's really fishy that Kamiya left Platinum games under those circumstances, so something must have happened in Platinum games to have him leaving the studio.

I guess someone must be announcing the adquisition of platinum games in 2-3 weeks. Microsoft just bought Activision, so maybe Tencent is the one that will buy the studio.

Or maybe Platinum games is just really that interested in Games as a Service.

But Obsidian has been doing really well under Xbox umbrella, they are better than even actualy, and Arkane has just been working as usual.

Also, before buying Bethesda, they mosty were seeking for smaller studios(Obsidian, Double Fine, Ninja Theory, Compulsion Games) and they gladly sold the companies to Microsoft, it was not a matter of greedy CEOs.

@Paraka 'Microsoft has a track record of not really utilizing their purchases"

And as usual, that "track record" boils down to just Rare -_- So far, Microsoft has actually been using well their purchases. As for modern Rare, Microsoft certainly forced them to make Kinect games for a while, but now they just choose not to use their old franchise and focus on new and original ips, after all, the majority of old members left the studio years ago, even when Xbox bought the studio, key people was already gone by that time.

A lot of prestigious studios are willing to sell themselves to Microsoft because all in all, they are currently a pretty good option.

Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Showcases Trio Of Brand New Power-Ups

I can't believe Nintendo added a lot of online features, yet they didn't add normal online co-op, like, wtf nintendo!?.

So far, I don't know what to think about the game, the new power ups and features seem to make the game even easier. Also, kinda disappointing you can only have one badget at the time, I think Yooka-layle let you have more than one.

I'm really unimpressed by the game, I think Indie games and Donkey kong country tropical freeze set up a new standar for the genre, let's hope Mario is able to catch up with them.

Re: Vampire Survivors Has A Director's Cut But It Might Not Be Released

@HeadPirate @mlt
I mean, people are calling these type of games Vampire survivor likes nowadays, so I don't think anyone is using the word roguelike to recommend the game to someone.(Also, the game doesn't have random environments nor exploration)

Vampire survivor is very different to every other roguelike in the market, it's more an Arcade game with roguelite elements(permanent upgrades) where you fight hordes of enemies collecthing (free)lootboxes.
