A small, mulitplayer game like one that’s just pro-bending would be neat.
I’d play it, and I bet a lot of other people would as well.
However, it would require actual thought and creativity to pull off successfully. It’s not the kind of thing that the market analysts would greenlight because there’s no data point showing that it works.
Meanwhile, a generic fighting game that just has Avatar characters is an easy sell. No risk. No creativity. Just cold, hard, data.
then make a videogame, not part of a game for 59.99$ then you have to buy the rest of the game picmeal. only so the executives get bonuses and the people actually working get crunch time.
I am not an Avatar fan, but I will caution Avatar fans that Nickelodeon games are historically made for shoestring budgets; basically whatever they find in the couch cushions. As a fighting game fan, there’s enough left to the imagination here that this game could be literally anything, and the developer has no other games to its name on Steam.
Watch the Announcement Trailer for Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game (working title), an upcoming action fighting game based on the beloved Avatar franchise, developed by Gameplay Group International in collaboration with Paramount.
Nickelodeon isn’t mentioned and I don’t believe they’ve been a part of Avatar’s new development studio or creative direction for awhile.
While I do see a generic game, it’s worth blaming the right people.
Oh my god I’ve been waiting for this one for years. I thought it was dead at this point since I never saw another trailer since the reveal trailer years ago
The investors are betting that AI-based cost cuts will significantly boost EA’s profits in the coming years, people involved in the transition told the Financial Times
As an engineer who uses AI regularly, have built models, and knows the subject deeply - LOL. This is huge Bro energy with little understanding of AI and they are fully on the hype train.
I wish it was easier to predict when the AI bubble is going to pop. There’s likely lots of money to be made shorting them, but it’s not something small investors can do easily - and there’s a real possibility some thousands of investors instead pull harder on the copiumand just lie to themselves for the next decade that “it’s almost there bro, we just need another lake for cooling our doubled power output”
I like GN and Steve a lot and think they are ridiculously good at tech/data-based as well as consumer rights activism.
This… it is a fun video (if you like Steve) but he and his team are not qualified to talk about this topic. It is the same obnoxious youtuber “I am going to make forty jokes per minute and say every single quote in a nasty voice to show how bad they are”. Which, again, is fun but doesn’t convey much useful information and mostly just serves to spread “vibes based” news and borderline misinformation.
Most of the stuff on GNCA is pretty good and this kind of coverage is great for a quick blurb during the news show. But 27 minutes that doesn’t convey much (meaningful) information beyond a tweet… yeah.
The only destruction I remember in FC2 was the fire spreading system. 🤔
I also can’t believe Rust didn’t make the cut, considering how popular it still is and it having a destruction system similar to Teardown and Red Faction.
Given the nature of how the site generally works and how most peolle appear to use it, shorts would be watched more often than a 20+ minute video. Most people just mindlessly scroll for a minute or two while waiting on something else. Only the losers like me have the time to watch a long video.
I love seeing this guy talk about the most mundane things. It’s cool to see someone look at something mundane and go “I wonder where this leads” and follow it.
