They had some kickass developer streams on YouTube. I still remember when they were playing Saints Row 3 and (I think it was the lead designer) being amazed that a helicopter had an interior texture for the cargobay even though 99% of the time you wouldn’t see it. Also skinballs and how they used markers to determine NPC behaviour out in the world.
Also the horror story of how they spent weeks compiling visibility volumes for Saints row 1 and having to satisfy silly requirements set by Microsoft such as having a game trailer play on the title screen if no input was detected for a set period of time. They just played a video of them playing the fucking game so they didn’t have to do any cinematics lmao.
The Red Fraction Guerilla stream was extremely interesting. How they managed to make destructible buildings and the limitations of that system. They used a stress mechanic that used key parts of a buildings frame to determine how stable it is (can’t remember if they used vertex weighing or not).
But unfortunately the most talented on the team didn’t get much of an input of where the IP went
I’m curious what the movie would contain that the game didn’t. The game was very linear and almost played like a movie itself. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a cat movie! Just curious how it will differ from the game.
“In the beginning, animated movies starring Chris Pratt were spaced by 24 weeks, then 12, then six, then every two weeks. The last one, with Garfield, was a week. In four days, we could be seeing new casting announcements every eight hours, until they’re coming every four minutes.”
I downloaded that movie on a whim for a long flight to Australia and it was surprisingly solid. I didn’t know the source material and assumed it was a original concept. Annapurna’s games are usually top tier so hopefully their movies will be as well.
I absolutely adore that game, but in all honesty I’m not sure I want a straight adaption. When I finished the game I was left feeling like wanted more beyond the game, I want to see more of the world and lore that the writers built.
The world has potential. I assume they would want to use a cat as the protagonist, so if it isn’t a retelling or Sequel/Prequel, I’m not sure how it wouldn’t feel forced. But I’m certainly curious.
Maybe they can stick the landing this time. All they needed to do was show one shot of the pack of four cats reunited during the credits. The parallel theme between the pack of four stray cats and the crew of four robots called the outsiders was an essential part of the plot and then they just leave it hanging.
There doesn’t need to be one. Any windows handheld can run Microsoft’s first party games.
Microsoft are having enough trouble with home consoles, we don’t need them spreading themselves thin with an underpowered handheld too.
A mate of mine has the ROG Ally and while it’s a damn nice device, when playing uncharted 4 on it to show the performance to me it chewed through like 25% battery in about 15 minutes. You can’t have high performance handheld while having even remotely good battery life.
