XboxEra Community Hangout |OT6| New Year, Same Three Topics

Phil Fish was rude but still, he told the cold truth. Remember this was asked at the GDC panel in the context about the Indie Game movie. And japanese indie game scene and culture was severely underdeveloped then (and still is).

IIRC the guy asking was a dev on FF13. So after playing this and FF15 I have to say: their games now suck even more.

I am pretty sure that Fish was asked if he was being influenced by Japanese games as a developer and he replied with this, this had nothing to do with the Japanese indie scene. And even if the dude asking the question was a FF13 dev that doesn’t make it right to respond like that. He was a rude piece of shit to someone asking a question with good intentions. And the sad thing is that almost everyone from the rest of the panel responded like dicks too (with only Blow trying to keep things civil with actually trying to make some arguments like an adult), cheering and stuff…all this “us versus them” mentality is completely stupid and dumb.

Also if FF13 & FF15 suck (I didn’t like them at all as well) that doesn’t mean that “Japanese games suck”, there are hundreds of games coming from Japan from a plethora of different devs/publishers every generation…as I said generalizing is a shitty thing to do. :man_shrugging:

Fish was a prick and one im very glad is no longer a part of the industry

and while I find Souls and FS overrated in general, some of those tweets and messages iv seen not only come across as jealous at best but straight up racist at worst

I hadn’t seen that video before, but remember of course hearing all about Phil Fish.

Wow he sucked in that clip. I know it was meant to be a “joke”, but it really didn’t come off as it. Reminded me of some old top gear videos I saw recently that made me think “wow, these guys just go full on racist, don’t they.”

It’s easy to look at something like “Japanese games suck” and play if off, but that video was just awkward. Crazy to me that everyone else was just laughing and going along with it too.

A few years ago I had lost my last grandparent. She passed after her 73rd birthday. We all made sure to spend some time with her in the hospital before she passed. It’s always ok to spend some time to heal.

I remember Nick mentioned that he did not like something regarding Deathloop contract.

I wonder if there is a clause that Deathloop should go to Spartacus service after 1 year and they stay there for 1 year at least?

Wtf.

When did he say this?

I also remember him hinting at something concerning, but I can’t recall if it was for Deathloop or Ghost Wire?

It would fall in line I guess with that “at least until…” Bullshit Sony loves to throw in these trailers for timed exclusives. FF7R has them and iirc Deathloop too.

Sony is just so, so tiresome with that shit.

I hope this is true! I love the big show!

I think it was about Deathloop in one of the podcasts. He said along the lines that “There is something about Deathloop contract that I know and I wish Microsoft broke it” or something. But he never said what he meant that time.

Yes

I mean after 4 years it is fine to leave. Sad we haven’t heard anything about the game though. Hope this E3 we will see something.

Is it? I don’t know. Is the game done? That’s why I’m not sure what to make of it.
