@dieubussy You may not believe it, but I woke up at the same time, went to the kitchen to get a drink, and I got pinged that the new Ueda was on. Ah, what wonders bely a spell of insomnia

I wasn't at all aware The Game Awards were being handed out today. I merely woke up at 1h30AM, walked to the kitchen for water, unlocked my phone for some soft light and noticed the livestream on the YT App. I opened it PRECISELY as Keighley started to announce Project Robot.

@DanielOlimac Yeah, 100% with you. With how long its been in development, I think 3mil is actually not enough to break even. The stakes are very high, but catering to your core audience and getting 80+ reviews is rarely a recipe for disaster.
English
@MetaVideoGame But yeah, quality wise, it's nothing like Anthem or Andromeda (although I didn't play those two. Never cared to. Also never played any DA game btw).
I'm just looking at it purely from a business/commercial perspective.
English
IF sales for Veilguard are as low as some are saying, this could be apocalyptic for BioWare, sadly.
Interestingly,I've seen a lot of devs/gaming people on LinkedIn sounding the alarms for the game since release, while on Twitter everyone tried to stay hyper positive.What gives?
English
@DanielOlimac It's definitely not gaming event like BG3 or Elden Ring or even Mass Effect in its prime were. But it plays to what the core Bioware fandom wanted: sp, no open world or live service bs, very story focused. So, I doubt its the miss that Andromeda or Anthem were. Is that enough?
English
@MetaVideoGame Yep, need to wait and see. But even before it launched I always felt the game wouldn't sell tremendously well. Not that I want that, but it's what I felt from all the feedback I was absorbing. I still "feel" it's not doing that great, but we'll see.

@Darren_Mooney True in all cases except Immaculate and First Omen that feel like someone stole the others script and then just changed a few details! But hey, for every rule, and exception

This isn’t like the over-saturation of the slasher market in the early 1980s, where cinemas were flooded with a host of functionally indistinguishable and formulaic knock-offs.
These are films that are often radically different from one another. And they’re budgeted responsibly.

The thing about “horror fatigue” is that there is actually enough diversity in tone, style, scale and mode that it’s very hard for audiences to get tired.
The big driving force of “superhero fatigue” was the fact that so many of those films all looked and felt exactly the same.

@AaronBastani Comms strategy? Their problem is political strategy. You can't govern like the tories and expect viters to shower you in praise and happiness.
English
I’m genuinely shocked by Labour’s comms strategy. I wouldn’t usually care about this stuff (the next GE is years away) but they are just letting bad stories fester every single day without any kind of response or rebuttal.

PS5 stock selling-out in China!
At Huaqiangbei in Shenzhen (world's largest electronic market), it is now clear that sales are extraordinarily high, driven by Wukong.
I previously reported on this sales surge (x.com/DanielOlimac/s…), which also includes PC and components.
Daniel Camilo@DanielOlimac
Big, BIG!, surge in PS5 sales in China due to the launch of Black Myth Wukong. We're witnessing a "contagious wave" of consumers who don't usually care about gaming suddenly being overwhelmed with all the exposure the game is having in China, and buying new consoles! 🧵

@dieubussy Like an archaeologist standing over ruins. Fascinating how we evolved by wiping out every superfluous adornment, every costly decoration from our constructions... thus destroying the very thing that gives them meaning: beauty. Very happy to live in modern times!

When did you last spot a game cover this vibrant, effervescent and gracious?
How could there have been a time when even the mundane task of composing the cover art for a tennis game inspired a nameless artist to capture the very essence of summery pleasures?

@dieubussy Art >>>>> tech
Obviously, the two combined is the best of both worlds.

@dieubussy @DanielOlimac This isnt fair, cause this puts Kusoge games to shame

@DanielOlimac I know but won't spoil. I'll just say that it's a game you, living in China, are in prime position to get hold of.
