Problem is he didn’t.
The Last of Us director Neil Druckmann doesn't have the "confidence" to plan for sequels: "I'm not saving some idea for the future"
Druckmann believes "you're jinxing yourself" if you think about a sequel when you're still working on the first gamewww.gamesradar.com
Well…. At the very least the dude seems to have some sense in knowing when to stop
As much as I hate Netease with my gut, I do have to say the layoff was greatly exaggerated. I feel bad for six people who got laid off, but it seriously is a paltry number compared to the likes of Microsoft.
The part that everyone seems to be ignoring is the fact that the core team led by the main director in China is still intact.
Meaning the US team was probably deemed unnecessary, for whatever reason. I mean if the team consisted of just six people, I am not sure how critical their roles were
On the flip side, with a popular game like that, did they really need to cut those six salaries?
Not in a million years would this've been on my bingo card.
Which is weird, because we very seldom see this happen for games that are still active and popular.
True enough. I guess it really comes down to what exactly they were doing. Netease could’ve moved them to another team, for example. But if the main team is based in China, I guess there would be issues with relocation, obtaining the correct work visa, etc.
Was that one of the anime with a weird localization? Like they had amateur doing the VA or something?
It was less that and more that the people writing the localized script barely knew any Japanese, so instead they wrote their own script based on the visuals and what they thought would be funny.
Phil Spencer is back at it again, spewing nonsense

So yeah, any chance of "xbox gaming" making a comeback is probably dead as shit. Why not rebrand as "MS gaming" nowm since he seem to hate seeing their own consoles being successful?

Hell yeah! I put in a bunch of time already, game's incredible. The netcode is really strong too, I was playing people from japan just fine and I'm in vegas.
How many of Valve's titles started out as mods made by fans?
I haven't kept up with Valve's policies but I know at one point they were happy that people could make their own custom content for Team Fortress 2 and actually make money from it; letting people have access to the source code is further encouraging people to be creative with the engine they've made.
It should also be mentioned that the webcomic they've made based the game ended quite definitely last year, 17 years after the game premiered. They might be working on Team Fortress 3.
The story I was told (take with an appropriate amount of salt) was that the original didn't do very well in Japan, but its distribution rights were sold as part of a package deal. Unfortunately, it did so poorly that the original production team hadn't bothered creating the usual character profiles or episode recaps that help localizers. Since the English production team wanted it ready on schedule, the writing team was told to wing it: they'd watch each episode, slap together a script that roughly fit, then fill in the gaps with rapid-fire screwball humor and 4th wall breaks.
Kinda cracked the game and played in training mode cuz no ethernet, lol.
This game is gonna have a TALL skill floor. The amount of shit u have to do execution wise is insane. This is probably gonna be my main figher for a while. It's So fun cancelling EX specials into themselves and the combos are visually nutty as hell to look at.
One thing that I also think helps this game in terms of balance is letting supers be your main source of beefy damage, compared to it just being "extra damage" tacked onto an already damaging combo that takes 50% of your life without super. This is good in 2 ways:
1. Supers are always important outside of reversals and punishes, as they're your main damage at the end of a combo.
2. It allows characters to have REALLY good buttons that are special cancellable, but don't lead obnoxious as hell combos that do 50-60% like in KOF XV with some bars (a lot of the top tiers in that game have some sort of special cancellable far reaching button with good properties).
Here's a tip: if you buffer hcb right before a just defense, you can just press Forward + P/K (depending on special) and get an easy as hell Guard Cancel Dp punish. It actually makes this pretty difficult game a HELL of a lot easier, so knowing this can definitely ease the burden for someone with knowledge.
But man, this gams is gonna be something else.
I'm using Kain, whose supers are actually combo tools in part, the blue ball super lets you combo after it and you can do some super long sequences with that thing, and then combo into the other super for the kill at the end too. Also the SPG supers have the great element of cooling down your REV entirely, so you don't always just use em to kill but often just to get your ex to ex cancels back.
My main focus is figuring out how to consistently do feint cancels, cause the special cancel window is much larger than the feint cancel one so if you do them with the same timing you'd do a special move they just don't come out at all.
As for guard cancels, you can also guard cancel into the rev blow if you're in SPG, and that's good cause you can do it in the air too. Most air rev blows are divekicks too so it's a great way of landing safely.
Oh and I dunno if you saw the leaks but we got a full char roster and it's kinda insane lol. I'll spoiler it below just in case.
(
Adult Hokutomaru, Fallen Rock, Nightmare Geese all have models, not sure if the latter is playable or just boss though, but our ninja boi is definitely in
Yeah, the feints and breaks are something you gotta get used to. Also good to note is that you can do them on whiff.
Hyper Defense is... kinda strange. People say it acts like Red Parry, but it's more like Just Defense during blockstun. You can guard cancel out of it, but it doesn't negate all hitstun Or anything like Red Parry does.
Also Fallen Rock is one helluva a name for an alternate boss form, lol.
I saw a big list that was literally double the size of the base roster + DLC, Lol. Had Blue Mary, Krauser, Rick Strowd(?), etc.

Oh you can do em on whiff too? Nasty, I did not know that.
HD is like a true blockstring/multihit eliminator, though I imagine it's easier to buffer a super from that cause you're hitting 6 already.
And yeah the huge list is a list of all npc models in the game, most of them are likely not playable though, just in the story cinematics. But the 3 I mentioned were like actual gameplay models.
