Laura Bailey, long time VO actor, and most importantly voice of Xoti, has been harassed for what a character she played did in a game. Because, of course...

Tried to find the tweet but, man, Josh tweets a lot. Still, good news.

They should pour more money into ship combat.... that would fix everything

Also Cuphead is getting a netflix show and Disco Elysium is getting the TV show. The latter has Dimitri M Johnson involved, "a co-producer on the hit film adaptation of "Sonic the Hedgehog"....

Outer Worlds in the New Fallout. That's as close as we can hope to get I am afraid. Obsidian isn't independent anymore. Even if Bethesda would be interested in hiring 3rd party studios (which they weren't interested in for a while now) I don't think Microsoft would be interested in working for another's company IP. And that's assuming Obsidian would be up to another Fallout project after what happened with New Vegas metacritic bonus.

Interesting. I wonder, if there is something fudamentaly easier (or/and cheaper) about 1st person perspective. For melee combat I generally prefer Third person view.

Well, I don't remember cursed infantry being a thing, and when Sawyer says "historical" I assume he means historical. There is also the boob armor. I don't think that's very Sawyer-like. The whole thing has very fantasy feel to it. I dig it though. Action RPG with Dark Souls inspired combat? Set character (Sera seems to be the [or a] protagonist)? Since I played Dark Souls I have been wanting a Gothic game but with Dark Souls combat... one can dream....

Who knows what project those are for but it doesn't look like PoE and certainly not like Tyranny https://www.artstation.com/cmatchett

I don't know if it was mentioned, but some interesting art coming from Craig Matchett:https://www.artstation.com/cmatchett

Wrong thread

So games are weird, because I find how game controls and animations to be very much within "beautiful" presentation. So for example Owlboy which looks and animated beautifully but controls like piss doesn't work for me. Same with Cuphead which I liked to took at, but didn't particulalry feel great to control. As such screenshots don't mean much, as how game moves and responds to imputs is rather important. So: Rayman Legends Anything Supergiant Trines Bayonetta Disco Elysium Darkest Dungeon Dishonored Firewatch Hollow Knight Shovel Knight Ori (duh) Civ 5 Journey Dark Souls Elite Dangerous Homeworlds Limbo/Inside Valkyria Chronicles Little Nightmares Prince of Persia (1989), Another World (1991) and Flashback (1992)

New videos of Empire of Sin. The second one dives a bit more into wars between gangs.

Allegations of harassment in gaming companies continue. Two Ubisoft Executives placed on leave. Links found thanks to Jim Sterling's video on the matter.

Biomutant still exists!

No really. Just seems like they didn’t have any direct contributions anyway:

Sure, I am against mob justice. Though, yeah, if as reported this has been behaviour he's been known for, then yes, there should be consequences. Not as punishment, but for the good of other employees. Making a public post is not a way those kind of complaints should be reported. However, again and again, those seem to be the only ways of getting things done. It's not up to me to discern if it really happened or not. But if that behaviour was his norm, I do think companies should do a research before putting him in a position of influence.

Explicit: Yucky yuck person.

PoE1 Tutu?

I know Deadfire was amazing... oh, yeah Outer Worlds was good too.

Fresh Baldur's Gate gameplay stream. Thank goodness they have written normal dialogue options. I still don't like how not singleplayer this game is. Beyond that it is looking great. Also a nice short interview with Swen:

Showdown mode has soo many issues, but so far so good. There are also some really unintuitive quirks with some badges. Like to get "kill all" badge for the wedding level, you have to clean the map twice, as the level consist of two sequences and some enemies are exclusive to the first sequence only. Actually, there might even be another extra kill one needs to do. I spend good few could hours trying to tick that one off the list.
