Rock Star Also just posted you have a week to come back to the office

I hope the gaming industry starts to unionize soon, the employees are being treated like crap

I definitely didn’t see this coming.

Toys for Bob is spinning off as an independent game development studio

Acclaimed video game studio Toys for Bob has announced that it is spinning off from both Activision-Blizzard and Microsoft to take an independent route. The news was shared by the studio in a recent…

Since they’re still exploring a partnership with Microsoft this probably means they’ll still work on Crash and Spyro. Maybe it could even mean Banjo Kazooie.

This sounds freaking EPIC. Good thing we don’t have trailers otherwise this could’ve caused more of a storm than the cancellation of Star Wars 1313 did.

Or maybe that’s a bad thing that we can’t cause a storm. Idk.

Well I guess it's a good thing it wasnt THE Mandalorian game that got canned.

I was just reminded of this being teased 9 years ago... forgot all about it. I lived off RCT 1/2. Never got around to 3.

Nothing will ever beat RCT2.

Nothing will ever beat RCT2.

Agreed. While I appreciated seeing POV videos of rides from people, I was too attached to RCT2
(plus all the custom rides and themed items I downloaded lol)

Have you ever played Planet Coaster? That game is amazing.

 

[Wesker69]

Nope. Never got around to it.

But as a kid, i had a very basic roller coaster only design "game" where you'd design the layout, then test run it & different "judges" would rate it lol. It pre-dated RCT.

Warner Bros. Discusses "Volatile" AAA Console Games, Will Lean Into Free-To-Play And Mobile

The company envisions a future Harry Potter game where you can "live and work and build and play in that world in an ongoing basis."

Make more games with the same care and attention to detail that games like Hogwarts Legacy and Batman Arkham exuded and less like Suicide Squad and you wouldn’t have to worry. It’s really not that freaking complicated and your success with those games proves that.

I wish some of these companies would just fail and go away forever

Like WB has learned nothing....just nothing

Why does it feel like this is the first confirmation that the whole trilogy would be console exclusive to PlayStation? Did I miss something?

Sony has secured the Final Fantasy VII trilogy as a console exclusive

Those of you hoping to see the Final Fantasy VII trilogy on the next Nintendo system will have to prepare for disappointment as it has been confirmed today that the trilogy is a PlayStation exclusive.

I’ve never played Final Fantasy myself so I don’t personally have a dog in this fight but that must have been a big check to keep it exclusive. I’m just wondering if it’s worth it in the end. It was going to sell well on PlayStation regardless.

I know they said the first game was....but yeah this is the first time I'm hearing this as well but in a way makes sense

If the first act of the story is only on PS5 then would be funny to bring part 2 and 3 without the first....though it has happened before Mass Effect 2 came out on PS3 but you could not play the first game on a Sony system for a while after that

All I remember was that each game was always advertised as “first on PlayStation” implying other consoles could be later on.

Yeah, I can't find much because google is filled with all the articles about this news.

I remember the talk about FF7 because I know it upset many gamers

Its not a fair mindset but my thing is....which every console sells more I'm fine with having exclusives. The people have spoken and the PS5 is the clear winner this gen back when 360 locked in games it felt fair to me as well like Sony screwed up the Ps3 launch and why not push games onto a system people are willing to pay more

Also as long as a game comes to PC, its really not that bad any more you can get a PC to play most games FF7 is on steam so to me its not that hard to play if you really want to

Yeah I was just coming at it from the perspective of games being so expensive to make does the money Sony paid Square Enix actually cover the potential lost sales and I don’t mean from Xbox. Trying to get versions on Nintendo hardware would’ve been very lucrative I believe.

This looks like one of those games that just comes along and finally breaks its genre into the mainstream. The premise alone is one of those wacky daydream thought experiments all of us have had at some point. I also thinks it’s no surprise this is yet another game coming to us from what looks to be a midsize studio.
