studios arent turning to AI. Ownership and dipshit leadership are, and are making everyone's jobs harder in the process.

Working with voice actors was the single BEST experience in the entire 8 years of making Deathโ€™s Gambit. So much joy, laughter, and magic. Would never trade those memories for a soulless product thatโ€™s โ€œcheaperโ€. You pay for it in other ways by depriving yourself of the process and SO much more

No, Geoff Keighleyโ€”Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was not made by a team of 'under 30 developers,' and devs say repeating the myth is 'a dangerous path' SGF's fascination with small staff sizes discredits the integral work of external contractors and contributors.

Good morning. It's Saturday and I'm writing news.

"It's not hard to imagine ways in which repeating the myth of Clair Obscur's team size could contribute to worse conditions for games and the people developing them."

I kinda wish there was something more identifiably unique about the gameplay mechanics. But I am curious to watch this unfold and I think the hopeful optimism I see from those who have played it is welcome and refreshing.

From what I can gather, OG Marathon players liked it for its story. Meanwhile Destiny players can't let go of gear that's been sunset 6 years ago. So in a high stakes pvp game where you will lose loot and progression resets, who is this for? A new audience, I suppose.

Extraction shooters (ES) are pretty niche. Afaik there aren't any set in sci-fi that have garnered the same feverish fandom as Tarkov or Hunt, so there is market space, and I feel like pvpve is more approachable than a straight battle royale, esp to convert Bungie's existing player base. However...

Definitely more keen on the world building and art design than the gameplay, but I'm also fascinated by the competition for live service dominance and whether their bets are enough.
