From the Waypoint talk on BG&E2, it seems like they have the right idea and the team is fully aware that the stuff in it is super ambitious. Like that's the point of the Space Monkey stuff, to let the community help them keep on track. Which hopefully they don't listen to NewDongCity420 on major gameplay decisions.

I'm optimistic, but I'm extremely braced for that game to never exist.

Studio Exec's seen a property with a built in audience, story, and marketing and figure it can make a profit. And make it CGI flashy enough with a simple story and it can be sold as a movie overseas/China.

Do Early Access/backer supported games work that way? I thought usually the community just encouraged feature bloat

It doesn't look like they're asking the space monkeys for money, more like an extended alpha/beta/general community building thing. Might cut down on the entitlement or at least give them stronger grounds to blow everyone off.

Warcraft was surprisingly entertaining and well produced for what it was (a soulless orgy of CGI), probably thanks to the fact that Jones is actually talented. If you ever played WoW or the RTSes it's worth a watch stoned w/ friends imo

It's on right now. I love how they are pretending like Assault Horizon never even happened. "Fans have been waiting for a while, it's been what, 10 years since Ace Combat 6?" Also the music already owns. I just wish they talked more about the game if they mean to talk over it.

Dungeon Defenders 2 has this weird system where community involvement would give you points and you could use those points to vote on features that were multiple-choice. In the end, the developers kept control of the project through being the ones to offer up what gets voted on but the community still ended up (seemingly) getting what it wanted. I think that's a proper way to go.
Edit: Except it's worth noting there are still a couple of stupidly bloaty and useless features stuck in the game that they've never properly fleshed out and the community never rallied to get these things fixed, so now it's just a part of the game.

Kotaku interviewed David Cage
Despite Political Overtones, David Cage Says Detroit Is Mostly About Androids

quote:

“The story I’m telling is really about androids,” he told me in an interview after the demo. “They’re discovering emotions and wanting to be free. If people want to see parallels with this or that, that’s fine with me. But my story’s about androids who want to be free.”

quote:

“It’s the point of view of one of the two characters,” he said. “What I tried to do with this game is not be binary, not be black or white, or good or evil. Sometimes doing something bad can turn into something good, or vice versa. There’s usually more than one component [to situations in the game]. There’s the androids, there’s the humans, there’s the public, there’s the media. Your own people, what will they think of what you’re doing depending on how you do it, what you say about it to them, what you say to the humans? The situation is not binary. It’s actually quite multifaceted.”

And yet, this pivotal scene unfolded clunkily, relying on a binary meter to help convey a complex spectrum of ideas. I pointed that out to Cage, who explained that the scene will have more factors playing into it in the final game. “[The meter] is a part of this unique scene,” he said. “What is difficult for us to explain is that this scene is the only scene in the entire game where you have this gameplay and this situation. There’s a lot happening. The complexity emerges from the broader story arc and not just this scene.”

quote:

“I don’t want the game to have something to say, because I don’t see myself delivering a message to people,” he said. “But I’m definitely interested in asking questions to the player. Questions that are meaningful and that resonate with him as a person and a citizen. We live in a world that’s full of hopes as well as fears. Fears about the present and also the future. Where are we going? What’s going to happen? I just want to ask these questions and see how people react.”

I'm shocked that someone would try to claim his games aren't about "Political issues" in the wake of the shocking resolution of the thirteenth machine war.

The portrayal of humanity can only be due to those recent events, and I, for one, am ashamed he would try to hide behind a claim that it's "Just about androids"

Glory to mankind.

I still don't understand how David Cage became someone who's treated as a serious artist when he should have become the game version of the guy who made Fateful Findings. It's bad for everyone involved.
