Tom Salta - DEATHLOOP Main Title (cc @dbakaba.bsky.social )

anyone who doesn't buy all the video games i direct will be at a cognitive, social, and spiritual disadvantage (they will go to hell).

"Repeat" you say?

What's up sluts? Time to wish "DEATHLOOP" a happy 4th birthday!

Still amazed by this unlikely game even existing thanks to the perseverance of @mitmit.bsky.social and yours truly, the trust of the team, the unwavering support of lovely people, and the (tough?) love YOU give us every loop!

here is a thing I love: the thumbs up gesture has a lot of significance in death stranding, and in the sequel Sam gets a little wearable device on his thumb; he accesses the game menu screen diagetically by doing a thumbs up, which you also mimic in person to hit the menu button on the PS5

Great stuff indeed!

If I got a euro each time it happened 😅.

Paradise is an excellent tv show, wow. Great surprise. Episode 7 might be an all timer.

Much recommended read.

Thank you Rami, love the anecdote and the wisdom behind it!

ZeniMax Jobs Bethesda Softworks is hiring for multiple positions across our award-winning game development studios and global publishing teams!

As a huge fan of Monolith, I'm sorry and sad for you all.

Feels odd to be offering this, but we are still recruiting for a bunch of roles at Arkane Lyon including some not yet on the site (production, level design)

Contact me if I can help, and courage.

10+ years ago, out of sheer luck, I spent time in the orbit of Viktor Antonov. Since learning of his passing last week, memories came flooding back.

With the news now public, I’d like to share a few anecdotes to help remember the person - as much as the achievements already poised to outlive him.

Other than these two nitpicks I really appreciated this version in many ways from esthetics and casting to the nuances to the myth(ology) and themes. And this is from someone for whom Coppola's Dracula is a top 10, maybe top 5 movie, so it was a hard sell going in 🧐🖤

Maybe these two items are intentionally surrealist, willfully and lovingly replicating both Bram Stoker's mood and plot points and that light incoherence from Murnau's "legally distinct" adaptation, but it gave me an uneasy feeling of mainland Europe being shown as a uniform blob/fake decor.

2) what was the itinerary of the ship from Romania to northern Germany? I get that traveling by land is dangerous for Orlock, but isn't a crazy detour? It made some sense in Dracula where he was traveling to London on the Demeter but here it is really an unnecessary detour/risk (insert ⛸️⛰️ joke).

1) Wisburg didn't feel much like Germany? Esthetically and thematically it was very hard not to see England (or Gristol? 😅). Feels like a missed opportunity for a more mainland European approach to this story/setting, no?

I really loved Nosferatu, beautiful retelling of both the original and Dracula. I just have two superficial issues, maybe people here can help me make peace with them?

(Very light spoilers) so I'll put them in 🧵

My last post of 2024 will be to thank the level designer of this map for the hours of fun and mayhem.

Breaking my social media distancing because I just finished 1000XResist and it's such a beautiful piece of art/literature.

Thank you so much @sunsetvisitor.studio, let this thread know true grace.

I think I’ve said this boringly in interviews, but one of the perks of working on existing IP is that you get to study a set of creative choices. I know TRON better than I’ll probably ever know any creative work by another person. That study is rewarding, and finding ways to adapt the essence? 👨‍🍳😘

Passion, camaraderie, art and video games, what else? I've doing some archeology of my own and through great peril I was able to dig up this other one from Mathieu Reydellet who was also apparently part of the @machinegames fanart secret society!

Hey bluesky idk how much I'll use this site but I wanted to let folks know about our zine, The Light at the End, celebrating the work of Arkane Austin over the years <3 You can download it for free here: thelightattheendfanzine.itch.io/the-light-at...

Can't make a long post like on Twitter but here's the gist of it: enjoy these amazing fan arts from Aimé Jalon and Basile Moulin, and most importantly: merci and bra gjort to you all, MachineGames friends, for creating this new banger, hope you appreciate this little surprise! 🖤🧡

Hahaha 🤣

Now that the reviews are out, I can finally post this. And say that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is very probably my surprise GOTY. The talented Nords at Machinegames did it again and I hope you will love it as much as I do. Take your time with it, and enjoy the trip ❤️
