This decade old interview with Fumito Ueda was just recently translated and it’s probably the most in depth with him.

thanks!

This is the 6th AAA game I’ve seen this year with a ā€œmodernā€ cover of a popular song in the trailer.

Infinite warfare?

I mean

The jokes write themselves. That has to be on purpose, right? Some attempt to appeal to the memelord crowd?

Based on the title and that talking head teaser I was kind of hoping it had a time travel plot and would just be like, a grand tour of the entire franchise

Alas

Did you not play Ghosts? They have a sense of humor. They don’t need internet snobs to scoff at it for them. ā€œInfinite Warfareā€ is a perfect title, no less by Infinity Ward.

That already happens in Black Ops III’s campaign.

Vic I mean I knew it was you from post one but you’re really not even bothering to hide it now are you.

I was gonna just talk about videogames but I can’t keep my composure around posers.

Wait, is this one about space aliens? That’s kind of cool actually.

I would buy a MW remaster, but buying it means continuing Raven’s slavery to the CoD machine, so hmmm

Anyways, better game announcement coming through

No word yet on aliens in the campaign, which will probably mostly be shooting spacemans, but a third of Ghosts was the Extinction mode where you shot all kinds of aliens including alien wyverns and leviathans and egg hives. I imagine that will be returning and expanded.

Extinction also had an alternate mode with a DoDonPachi-esque scoring system where the game ended when you broke your chain.

Ghosts’ campaign also opened and ended with 6DoF zero-g space shooting.

Here’s hoping they go easy on useless DLC. Kinda hoping for a middle ground of 1 and 2. Ease of unit tactics of 2 but closer to the scale of 1.

Cautiously optimistic that something cool could result from this collaboration:

ā€œInfinite Warfareā€ does sound hilarious, and I can’t tell if it’s intentionally lampshading CoD’s status as war propoganda or not. Gameplay-wise, well, I have wanted to see more done with zero g shooters since Shattered Horizon.

Also this is the first song cover in a AAA trailer this year that elicited an immediate negative reaction from me. At least Dark Souls 3 gave me excuse to say ā€œit’s for the queers now, sorry bros.ā€

Suda51’s new PS4-exclusive F2P RogueSoulsLike lets you pay for continues if you die. Note that the title is ā€œLet It Dieā€.

The Nioh demo (awesome, go play it) makes me realize that I’d be down for a truckload more derivative Souls games just as long as i-Frame Software isn’t making them.
