If you could ask a Developer anything, what would it be?

[DanielBrown]

Blizzard;
Y U SO LAZY?! Relese Dibalo III naow!

 

[Lilani]

Are you going to release Half Life 3 sometime this century?

There may yet be a glimmer of hope. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/114509-Valve-Guy-Makes-His-Half-Life-3-T-Shirt-Talk]

 

[Falsename]

I've counted....


SIX POSTS ON THE SUBJECT OF A CERTAIN THIRD EPISODE OF A CERTAIN GAME BASED UPON THE SIGN OF WAVELENGTH. (Half Life 2 Epsiode 3... Duh!).

Six posts already... can't we band together and storm Gabe's place!? Where's that guy live?




So to answer your question I'd sit down with Gabe Newell and I'd just..... stare at him.... and stare.... and stare.... and stare....Nothing would be said at all. He'd know exactly why I was there.

 

[Arbi Trax]

I'd love to sit down with Chris Avellone and Feargus Urquhart. I wouldn't say anything, I'd just stare at them while laughing uncontrollably. After about 4 hours I'd beg them for another game set in the Planescape universe, then pass out from the fanboyism.

Relic- Is Dawn of War III going to have base building? What races are going to be in it? How many more expansions to DoW II or is it done?

Is Space Marine 2 going to continue with Titus or are we going to see a different character/chapter?

343 Industries- Just how do you plan on continuing Halo?

Man these three questions are ones I would have loved to ask. I'd love to know more on Dawn of War 3 and Space Marine 2.

And to chuck in my own question, how the hell do you plan on making Company of Heroes 2 even better than the last one with the same setting?

Naughty Dog, how do you feel about the Crash games now? Are you disgusted? Do you feel remorse? Hold me.

i think i read somewhere that naughty dog doesnt like what has happened to crash.

DICE where's the BF3 map editor?

 

[Pearwood]

Game Freak. What the hell were you thinking when you put IVs, Feebas' 6 tile only thing and annoying as fuck evolution and trade evolutions where the pokemon needs to be holding an incredibly vaguely described item in your otherwise fun games?

Yo, Obsidian.

Is J.E Sawyer willing to take a handjob? Cause I got open hands and I really liked New Vegas.

That's disgusting! ... [sub]seconded[/sub]

 

[ChupathingyX]

Hey Obsidian, want to hang out?

Hey Naughty Dog, ever thought about making another Crash Bandicoot game just for old times sake? Or at least re-releasing Crash Team Racing with online play?

Hey EA, why the fuck did you close down Pandemic Studios!!!???

Hey Koei, why did you fire the guys in charge of AI in Dynasty Warriors 3 and 4?

[sub][sub][sub][sub]Hey Bethesda can you just let Obsidian make the next Fallout games?[/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub]

That assurance is a blessing...it eases my pain.

Hey Valve, why do you suck so much at the whole DLC thing? Every other company I know can release sizable DLC in a timely manner. Bethesda, Bioware, Infinity Ward/Treyarch. I mean, how long have you been working on that Cold Stream pack? Eight months? Eight months to finish off an already partially completed community map and port the rest of the L4D1 maps over to L4D2? Really? Seriously, you can only use the "Microsoft won't let us" excuse for so long before people start realizing you guys have no idea what you're doing.

Valve is actually pretty damn good at the DLC thing. Also, it's all free. BioWare and Infinity Ward/Treyarch release content which should have been in the game to begin with as DLC, and Bethesda horse-armor, nuff said. The big question is, why would anyone buy a Valve game for the 360?

)rStrangelove]DICE where's the BF3 map editor?

Yeah... I doubt we'll see map editors and such for many games anymore, interferes with DLC. EA deemed frostbite 2 too "advanced" to have a map editor, even though Dice said it was easier to make content for...

Hey, From software, make it so that if I'm wearing full Havel gear a rat can't kill me in 3 hits, even on NG+.
kthxbai.

 

[Kevlar Eater]

I would ask any developer:

'Why do you hate me as a PC gamer?'

 

[Necroid_Neko]

I would ask Bioware "Why are you not making a Jade Empire sequel???"

They did mention back at Eurogaer Expo 2011 that it may return and their "Looking for the right way to deploy it."

I refuse to believe it, they've been hinting at a second game ever since the first was released in 2005, and every time I get my hopes up just to have them dashed. Not this time Bioware, you cruel, cruel liars :'(

 

[Fappy]

Hey Bioware, don't you wish you could just tell EA to fuck off and market your games the way you want to market them, instead appeasing the lowest common denominator?

This. EA is far to handsy with Bioware these days.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Anyone, Will you hire me? There really is no other question that I need answering more then that.

 

[RollForInitiative]

Bioware - Did you decide to streamline ME2, put multiplayer in ME3, and push DA2 out the door to quickly, or was that EA's decision?

Because I think it's entirely possible that either one did it, or maybe both are partners in crime. Nobody ever seems to think about the possibility of Bioware being a bunch of evil bastards.

I don't know anything about the DA2 end of that, but I'm pretty sure that both the ME2 and ME3 decision were fundamentally ours. We'd investigated multiplayer during ME 1's development but shelved it at the time for a number of reasons that aren't my business to disclose.

Just saying. =)

 

[AyreonMaiden]

Bethesda: Can you write a brand new engine that prioritizes memory conservation and save size reduction instead of modifying Gamebryo for a fourth time for the next TES?

 

[Erttheking]

How does it feel to know that your fanbase is a bunch of ungrateful sons of bitches? (Developer in question? Pick a name out of a hat, theres a 75% chance it'll qualify)

 

[ThriKreen]

I don't know anything about the DA2 end of that, but I'm pretty sure that both the ME2 and ME3 decision were fundamentally ours. We'd investigated multiplayer during ME 1's development but shelved it at the time for a number of reasons that aren't my business to disclose.

Don't you have work to do?

I won't say that there's no way you actually work at Bioware. That's entirely possible. Still, this is the internet, and there's really no way to determine whether you do or don't. Forgive me if you really do work at Bioware, but I just can't be certain.

Well, if that's who I think it is, I can confirm his identity.
