Project Spark Dev Interview

 

Henry though worked with Nintendo and Rare, worked a little with the Conker team when he was at Nintendo as well and Perfect Dark....Team Dakota should do a Rare game, but it sounds like they won't be doing another game for a long time


That is a good idea honestly.  I wouldnt mind them making a complete Conker or Perfect Dark game.  They have a good artistic style and the story missions they made on Project Spark so far is pretty good

Hmmm, PS4 seems like it's closing in on Xbox One again on Amazon, #8 vs #12. Only 1 Xbox One SKU in the top 20 now. Microsoft needs to get the Sunset Bundle restocked soon so that they can have 2 SKU's ranked higher than the highest PS4 SKU again. Either that or announce a new bundle, Dragon Age maybe. I feel like MS needs to do more with their Dragon Age marketing deal, haven't seen any ads for it yet and so far the PS4 version of DA has a healthy lead over the XB1 version even in the US, let alone elsewhere. Seems like a waste of money buying that marketing deal if they can't even outsell the PS4 version in the US.


Kind of and kind of not.  Thats a lot of xbox units (4) in the top 50 compared to one for PS4 on the month.  Two units sold out.  Though id imagine PS4 picking up some heat as the month goes on xbox right now is doing exceptionally well and youll likely see the xbox one sku jump back up once it is re-stocked, especially considering Halo MCC will be out at that time as well.  Itll be restocked the 15th apparently btw which means they could be in demand since it was originally suppose to be in stock on the 11th.

Conclusion

Ubisoft set out to re-create the series with Assassin's Creed: Unity and they've managed it with flying colours.

A rich story with an impressive amount of content coupled with some of the best visuals on display thus far make Assassin's Creed: Unity a must buy for any fan of the series, or just the open-world genre in general.

It has its shortcoming, thought they're few and far between, enough so that they're almost negligible.

8.8/10

I'm hoping that AC Unity will be a GOTY contender this year and this is a nice start toward that goal. Hopefully it won't end up being a one horse race with DA:I winning by a landslide. This year has been pretty bad so far as far as GOTY contenders go, only 1 game so far had both the sales and the scores to be a legitimate GOTY contender, Dark Souls 2.

 

  

I was thinking about missing out on this AC, but if reviews are like this i might not have a choice. Though, the critics are a lot harsher this gen so i will wait for a further reviews

He does make some interesting points....

 

So yeah, I think their indie push was because of lack of own quality games and now they will continue to push indie games because they saw how people were amazed by that but I don't think that their next years won't have many awesome exclusives. Naughty Dog alone will release some even if they lost some people the last year and the simple amount of studios they have and Japanese studios who will support them much better as Xbox will ensure a decent list of good exclusives the neyt years.

Hmm, it was MS who started with the big push to indie games especially after 2009 when the retail exclusives were shrinking down fast and indies had to make it good.  Problem was that Sony was starting aswell with a big push and they also got some help from MS because indies were getting upset with MS and choose Sony over them... Sony with games like the Journey has become the king of the indies library...  It is also good because MS is pushing now aswell again but they have to learn to treat their customers better.   The indie store is dissapointing on Xone compared to PS4 sorry..    Even games like Peggle 2 are more expensive on Xone (while it was a time exclusive on Xone) then on PS4, I don't think I find a multi indie game cheaperon Xone yet (except for the gold deals maybe)..

problem with the indie market now , is that its been over saturated without much of a way to spotlight quality releases. sure there are advantages to self publishing, but stuff like summer of arcade can never happen now since release date is all up to each individual.
