I got into AC at a young age with the first game on PS1, and played every entry I could get my hands on from then on. I can't think of any other game release that I've ever been this hyped about.
I loved Sekiro, Elden Ring, and the Dark Souls series, but the Armored Core (and Tenchu) games are some of my all time favorites both released by FromSoft and in general.
It’s pretty nice - though I would have preferred a cinematic, even with in-engine visuals. Still, their animated content is always on point, so this kind of content’s always welcome.
So even though I enjoyed this, on reflection, it just isn’t really the type of trans media content I want from Overwatch. Whilst fleshing out the background of the world is interesting, I feel like I would much prefer real content about the characters from the game. I want to see Rein and Brig shooting the shit whilst they eat lunch together before it cuts to Winston and Genji running along the top of a train in pursuit of a Talon member. Just give me a Transformers movie with Overwatch characters.
I get what you’re saying, but this is part of the mindset that allows billionaire CEOs to evade all accountability for their white-collar crime.
Sure, the judge arguably should reduce the jail sentence, but this is the law in Japan and prosecutors should pursue a penalty for contravening it, to discourage profiting off of unethical and illegal behaviour.
I get what you’re saying, but the issue is that if the only punishment for a crime is a fine, then it is really just a service the rich can pay for. Even suppose you set the fine to be defined as the amount gained plus some extra. Most who commit the crime are unlikely to be caught. So you need the extra to be defined as many times the amount earned from the crime. But then you are unlikely to get the amount they fine, and might just make it so the person is more likely to commit crime to try to get out of the debt (see: world war 2 causes).
That being said, there are probably better options. Community service, restrictions on investing, etc. but those have their limits. Also, I don’t know what Japanese prisons are like. They might serve a better function than the criminal factories of the US system.
I’m not gonna say this is karma biting him in the ass for disallowing the Sonic Xtreme devs use of the Nights engine, but I am gonna say that thinking about that gives me a very nice sense of Schadenfreude.
It's a shame we didn't get a proper sequel to Mania. Still, at least we're getting a spiritual successor that hopefully lives up to its predecessor. And I'm excited to see what Evening Star does with an original property.
Whitehead also dashed away one of the big points of speculation among Sonic fans: that Sonic Mania 2 falling through was the result of bad blood between Sega and members of Evening Star. "Contrary to any rumors, we maintain a friendly relationship with Sega and hope fans are pumped to play both games once they release," he says.
These responses do not leave me with the same impression as the article’s author. Both parties maintain professionalism, but they also both dodged the direct question of why Evening Star isn’t making a sonic game right now. I still think there is bad blood, and history makes me wonder if it was Iizuka wanting to seize more creative control than Whitehead’s team was willing to give.
