Image
Death Stranding still hasn't attracted a release date yet, but creator Hideo Kojima has thrown us a bone by confirming the game has now reached the 'critical phase' of development. That's the bit that comes before debugging, in case you wondered. Speaking in a post on Twitter, the Kojima Productions head honcho revealed that plays Death Stranding on a daily basis on PS4, in an effort to determine which content will make the cut or be given the chop. '[Death Stranding] is not yet in difficulty adjustment or debugging stage, but combining all the parts made in [different] tools and development machines into one game,' ( via Eurogamer ). 'It's a process to connect the parts, to fix the operation, feelings, the production, the specifications, the trouble, and to strip the flesh and [make changes] while I play the game directly every day on PS4. Critical phase.' Kojima-san revealed earlier this month that Death Stranding had  fallen slightly beh...

Today, during its first-ever State of Play livestream, Sony Interactive Entertainment revealed a brand-new  Days Gone  trailer that delves deeper into the game's story, which follows Deacon St. John, a drifter and bounty hunter who rides the broken rode on his motorcycle looking for a reason to live in a post-apocalyptic world that is falling apart and increasingly hostile.

Game Director Hideaki Itsuno Discusses Creating Emotional Moments in ‘Devil May Cry 5’

Image
Spoilers for “ Devil May Cry 5 ” are included below. With an ecstatic, Dante-like “let’s rock!’  Capcom  legend Hideaki Itsuno began his dive into how he created the impactful story and gameplay of “ Devil May Cry 5 .” The panel looked at Itsuno’s methodology of game design. “How can you design something around a feeling you’ve experienced at some point in your life?” Itsuno said through translation by producer Matt Walker at  GDC . “We’re talking about creating a feeling that will motivate the player to continue playing.” He called that feeling the ‘objective’, or what you’re trying to evoke in the player, and the way to achieve that the ‘means’. “Don’t mix up means and objectives,” Itsuno said. “There is only one objective, but there are multiple means to achieve it. Create a list of means and prioritize them based on how hard it would be to implement them.” Itsuno talked at length about the importance of having meaningful experiences in life and tha...

Image
There have been 200 improvements through patches so far and more in the works. Anthem  has had a  rough launch , and no one is more aware of the issues than developer BioWare. In a candid  blog post , company general manager Casey Hudson acknowledged the early run has been "rougher than expected" and said the team is "very disappointed" with the number of issues plaguing the title. Despite the problems, BioWare is offering reassurances to gamers that BioWare will  continue to support and improve the game. According to Hudson, the  Anthem  team have already pushed out more than 200 improvements through patches and updates. He's also promising more changes in the future to address game flow, stability and performance -- much of which is driven by feedback from players. BioWare is also planning on releasing new story content and features, including a major event called  Cataclysm  planned for May. It's tough to ask gamers to play throug...

Cyberpunk 2077 to feature - Lady Gaga?

Image
That’s according to the somewhat dubious authority of anonymous people on the internet, so keep this one filed under MAYBE for now – but this is what’s what. Citing “sources close to the studio”, French website  ActuGaming  claims the singer has recently been in and out of the Cyberpunk 2077 developer’s offices in Warsaw, Poland. The Google translation of the article is super awkward, but explains that “from what we know, the artist would have gone to CD Projekt Red to potentially perform a performance in motion-capture”. This speculation is backed up (kind of?) by this otherwise inscrutable response by the game’s Twitter account to one of Lady Gaga tweets from 2012, implying some sort of collaboration between them.
