Lobb says Metroid Prime went against what fans wanted, sometimes you have to go against fans

Coming from an EDGE interview with Ken Lobb...

The fight, in the pre-internet world, was that we were getting a lot of pressure from fans. Nowadays, you'd be buried under Twitter, NeoGAF — both of which I love, by the way — but those voices are even louder today than they were back then. It comes back to a lesson I learned a long time ago: always listen to your customer, but also understand that if you do focus testing what you're going to hear is, "I want that thing you did last time, because that was awesome." Every once in a while, you have to learn to not listen to that and go, "Actually, Metroid in firstperson we think could make more sense." Great creatives are going to disrupt their earlier designs and make things that are new, or build completely new games or new genres.

It's hard to argue with that logic when you see how great Metroid Prime turned out, as well as the subsequent entries. Now fans are dying for Metroid to get back to the Prime series. Does that mean Nintendo won't do it?!

Why Fanboys Act Like Jerks

Despite the amount of annoyance that console fanboys have caused me over the years as a person writing about video games on the Internet, despite the endless comments threads they have derailed with their arguments, I still have a small reserve of affection for these people. There's a passion inherent in fanboyism that's actually quite inspirational, when it's not allowed to get out of hand; it's the kind of passion that brings us fan art and cosplay, when applied positively. There's something endearing about someone who just really, really loves a thing.Read more...

Conception II - review

A portion of a NWR review...

It’s no small wonder why the first Conception title didn’t go abroad if it is as rife with Japanese tropes as this one is, including, but not limited to, transformation sequences, teacher-student relationships and the token big breasted girl whose boobs jiggle when she so much as breathes. Conception II starts with an interesting story, an engaging turn-based combat system and Star Children (enough said), but is often bogged down by its awkward dialogue and dull characters.

Dev praises Ubisoft for having the courage to delay Watch_Dogs

Coming from Massive Entertainment's MD David Polfeldt...

"It’s tremendously important for us as a developer studio, to know that the owner and the publisher are ready to take that hit, and [the Watch Dogs delay] was a massive hit. I think their shares fell 25 per cent on the day it was announced. It takes so much courage to live through that day and still think that was a good decision. So for us in the development [side of things], that’s an important message that ultimately the management will back up the goals that we have, which is the game has to be great.

That’s ultimately the end goal and then it’s a million times better if it’s on time, but if there is a choice between time and quality, then quality will win. If you look at Ubisoft you see a lot of people who have been in the company for over 20 years and that’s not very common today in corporate landscapes. But I do think that one of the reasons is people believe that ultimately this company has a very positive agenda about putting out good entertainment products and we’re willing to back it up, we’re will to take a few hits and some larger risks to make sure quality is very high.

"Definitely when we go to the internal milestones, we’re constantly being pushed for more innovation, thinking further, what could you do that surprises even ourselves? What are we not doing that we could do? Have you studied the competition?”

Blood Bowl 2 resurfaces with new teaser

Orcs and humans battle it out in an in-game teaser for developer Cyanide Studios' Blood Bowl 2, coming to PC from publisher Focus Home Interactive. The brief footage is the first look at the game, which features a "brand new graphic engine," since being announced in June 2013.

Blood Bowl, a video game series based on the Games Workshop board game property of the same name, is a comical spoof of American football featuring fantasy characters. Cyanide says the upcoming sequel is "more ambitious" than its previous efforts, adding a new single-player campaign and a multiplayer-based League mode, which gives players managerial control over their team, club and stadium. What are hotdogs in an orc-run stadium made of, do you suppose? Actually, never tell me the answer to that.

Cyanide promises more information and footage of Blood Bowl 2 in the coming months. [Image: Cyanide Studios]

A portion of a 4cr interview with Twisted Fusion's Lewis Pugh...

4cr: How much time will it take someone to play Twisted Fusion from start to finish?

LP: It really depends on the style of the player because of the open-world nature. There’s allot of content in the game that isn’t needed to see the credits but make for a much more complete experience and should be great for replay value. In terms of actual time I think the average player will take about 8 hours to complete the story. However even after the story has ended there will still be stuff to do.
