Context: the studio that made Hi-Fi Rush, Ghostwire Tokyo, & The Evil Within (Tango Gameworks) got shut down by Microsoft.
What I am saying is from the perspective of an American born and raised in the U.S. I’m unaware of what this is like in most other countries and I will be primarily talking about AA & AAA games: the indie scene is thriving
Sucks that we live in a society that discourages passion, creativity, & art unless it directly contributes to lining the pockets of billionaires: this is especially evident when you look at how corporations treat their employees & IPs, work culture, and the U.S education system. There are absolutely amazing games & IPs that are left in the past because they didn’t give the people on top as much money as they hoped for or there are more profitable options, so instead we get an over saturated market generally made for fans of popular IPs, shooters, and action adventure games because those sell the best. This is why a lot of Nintendo’s, Sony’s, and Microsoft’s older IPs never get used anymore: this is why we keep getting the same games, but with a new gimmick and shinier coat of paint. I love shooters and action adventure games, but we need more games that are unique and/or of less popular genres that stick around. Insomniac for example has made great games that are full of creativity and passion such as Sunset Overdrive & Spyro, but now they’re not much more than a glorified Marvel games studio: their new games are good, but it’s all stuff we’ve seen numerous times. We still do get great, soulful games that aren’t left to the sands of time, but there have been less of them as it moves on.
When all the leaks suggest Chris or Leon is the protagonist of RE9.
I see, as soon as I've locked myself into a new hyperfixation, Microsoft have to be dickheads.
i doodle like 5000 things a day but i have chronic imposter syndrome so i never share it publicly but tumblr lets you include like 50 things in one post so here's a Masterpost of all the stupid scollace related doodles i've done so far
If Capcom decides to remake Code Veronica, imagine the potential power remake Steve Burnside holds. I’m certain that he’ll get the Carlos and Luis glowup treatment. Steve is a generally disliked character and if Capcom can change that, his entire character and arc might be another banger. Also he’s almost like the free trial period to Luis. He’s kinda cheeky. Never noticed before but both have similar pistols. And with remake Luis now, both have have ties to Umbrella. Steve even refers to himself as the “knight in shining armor” at one point. And that part in CV is definitely gonna hit. Okay damn, I need it right now Capcom.
actually genuinely i am so upset about how richie died. no one prayed for him after his body was gone. no one cared because people in hatchetfield go missing every day. he gained everything he ever wanted then lost it all in 3 minutes. im gonna be sick
i like to believe that because hatchetfield high is a black altar, they exist as ghosts after death just like max
[id: a digital drawing of richie and ruth from nerdy prudes must die. their forms are smudged and glowing, they are ghostlike like max after death, and they look distressed and disheveled. they look up at something off-screen, holding hands, huddling close to each other. end id]
