Wolfenstein 3 is officially in production at @MachineGames. One of gaming's most important franchises, and a team that has done remarkable work bringing it forward. Looking forward to sharing more.

I honestly don’t understand how people can watch this movie and think it captures the #ResidentEvil experience.
Searching for ammunition, collecting keys and running away from infected people aren’t enough to make something feel like Resident Evil. The franchise has a distinct identity built around its iconic creatures, terrifying encounters, puzzles, atmosphere and the constant feeling that you’re trapped in a nightmare.
I wanted to see more of what makes the games memorable, whether that’s Lickers, Tyrants, USS soldiers or the kind of survival horror that keeps players on edge.
You can make a decent zombie movie without necessarily making a good Resident Evil adaptation. Those are two very different things.

The id layoffs were horrible, but from it something new emerges! Ex-Id staffers have formed a new company called Hidden Horses and their first game "Danger Pay" will be an FPS inspired by Smash TV!

This was one massive social experiment and it proved that people will happily embrace an all digital future as long as it involves something they’re excited enough about. All those weeks of crying out for physical media, only to fold the moment GTA 6 came along.
Sony won

Bring back villains like Clarence Boddicker and Captain Rhodes where you want to see them get their comeuppance. Enough of allowing these sick writers, and producers that enable them, that want to empathize/sympathize with villainy.
Precisely. It’s a little memberberries and it’s not as compelling as Graces section but it’s completely solid and one of those sort of Elseworlds things we get to experience that we wouldn’t otherwise without some meaty retconning

It’s a section I didn’t realize people hated because I thoroughly enjoy this. It’s such a blast to play through this version of Raccoon City. It’s genuinely eerie to play through this version.
Thank you, Lord

The first video was so fucking dogshit, so he remade the whole thing again without realizing the second video was also dogshit

You watch that scene in Superman 2025 of Superman shouting at Lex and the audience about how he’s just as human as everyone else and you understand immediately why Denis Villeneuve hates dialogue.
I much prefer subtle visual storytelling over characters spoonfeeding the message.

The issue with “Are Videogames Art?” discourse is that too many people fundamentally conflate “art” with “being good”. Plenty of art sucks shit and is still art

Finished a game called THRESHOLD last night. I recommend it. $9.99 and about 3 hours or so. It's a very moody and atmospheric FPS game. I guess the genre is sort of adventure / horror. It's very dark and moody and has great worldbuilding. It's interesting from the very start. The guy who made it is ex-Crytek and Arkane as a level designer? Julien Eveillé.
Core mechanic is you have a job to do. Keep a train running. But the area is very high and the air it low so you run out of breath easily. By completing tasks you get air cannisters to bite into. Between tasks you explore the level and find items and puzzle out what to do with them. All against the ticking clock of your air supply dwindling and having to keep the train running.
It's a great setup and has great execution. I think it's also a pretty ideal model for s solo dev indie game. Small in scope. Retro visuals that are in reach to create. Yet it is very compelling in a narrative sense and all the gamplay ties back into that narrative.
I think people who like moody narrative games that aren't 30 hours long will enjoy it. It is a fairly tense experience. A little indie game clunk here and there (be extra sure to catch all the text that appears on screen). And I ran into some hitching bug later in the game where it would pause a few seconds here and there (can restart the game to reset that and you might not even hit it).
I'm glad I played it. Worth the experience. I love games like this.
