Community MetaSteam | January 2025 - Remember cloud, a great remake comes with great responsibility, kuppo.

not if the lesson is to fire these studios and continue the attempts at making life service games work in future projects. We'll have to see what happens with Bend and Bluepoint going forwardWell that’s what they’re doing no?
A huge waste of talent, money and time...

PlayStation fans have speculated for years about Bluepoint's new projects since the well-received PS5 remake of Demon's Souls (2020). I can report that from 2020-2022 they were helping on God of War Ragnarok. Since then they've been on the live-service project that was canceled today. Now, unclear

Lmao. Gof of War is such a poor fit for a live-service game. What the fuck?
We can only hope that Concord spooked them badly enough that it played a role in these cancellations and they'll be hesitant to blindly chase GaaS money in the future...
Square is marketing the shit out of this release I'm actually surprised. The chocobo Steam Deck is just the icing on the cake lol
DW Origins 95% positive, steam banner, and good peak for launch in minutes. Lets see how it does. Game is so fucking good. I might hit 100 hours by next month unless something wild distracts me.
They really got spooked by their recent string of underperformances, huh.
Better late than never.
Man, Sony's GaaS initiative has been a colossal failure, huh. A lot of these cancellations really feel like they never had a chance from day 0 and no one there has any idea what they're doing it, it's all just trendchasing, relying on IP even it makes no sense (what the hell is a God of War GaaS supposed to be and who'd even want to play it), not thinking enough about which studios to use...A huge waste of talent, money and time...

Just really baffling. Am reminded of Schreier's recent comment how game budgets are balooning so much cause of mismanagement primarily. Yep, just need to look at this.
Edit: I guess it's possible that a GoW GaaS wasn't a multiplayer title (to which my mind first went), but a single-player experience with more frequent post-launch content rollout and monetization (like modern Assassins Creed games or such).

Is there a good environment variety ? The first few hours I skimmed were pretty uniform IIRC

In other news, QUESTION !
While thinking about an arcade stick, I was reminded of a smallish indie shoot em up. I don’t recall anything except that it had a great tutorial, teaching, among other things, the different spacing strategies between your ship and the bullets.
Any idea which game it was ?
1. Yes. Also decent weather effects.
2. There are a few possibilities: Danmaku Unlimited 3? Either that or Crimzon Clover World Explosion (not really small). Also Zero Ranger and Blue Revolver are worth trying.
Hmm, I have Danmaku 2 and stupidly didn’t give the light of day to World Ignition after the dev left the first game with launch issues for years.
It leave Danmaku 3, was there ever a demo ?
It was a surprisingly in depth tutorial, I think the game pushed that in its communication.
edit
I think it may have been Gunvein.

Hmm I've not heard gunvein mentioned for those things, but it is worth playing. No clue on DU3. I played it on my phone years ago and loved it then bought it on switch ps and PC.
