@bigniggaballer@callsignDuster@TigoODonnell I think that platinum is just good at making actions games in general. Not getting a sequel doesnt mean a game was bad, at that time getting anything to stick was difficult. It still is. It's why no one wants to make new IPs. But in my opinion it was slept on in that generation.
@bigniggaballer@callsignDuster@TigoODonnell I dont exactly disagree, but a game like vanquish lends itself to evolution. They could add so many new mechanics with a sequel. There is a lot of potential with this IP in my opinion.
@bigniggaballer@callsignDuster@TigoODonnell If you honestly believe this I dont think you have interacted game on a significant level. Not every mechanic needs to be unique to make a game a unique experience.
I don't follow the "respect is earned" philosophy. I respect everyone automatically and then each person has the opportunity to lose my respect based on their behavior.
Seriously what's the deal with these new reapers...? Had so much fun drawing @pinkpantheress2, figured I'd do one for @sza too. Think I wanna do at least one more of these. Any suggestions?

Sometimes people throw around terms like "industry legend" to describe famous game developers, but Vince Zampella was genuinely legendary.
Most people have no idea how influential the man was. Director on Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. Co-creator of Call of Duty. Then he shipped the iconic first two Modern Warfare games. If he had ONLY done all that, he would be an "industry legend."
And then Act 2 of his career was arguably even crazier. He flipped the bird to Activision after they tried to wriggle out of a contractually-owed bonus, started Respawn (taking with him a huge chunk of the MW2 team in the process!) and then shipped Titanfall 1 & 2, Apex Legends, and two of the best Star Wars games ever.
That we won't get to see Act 3 of Vince Zampella's career is a tragedy. Pray for his family.
Rather than spending $228 on a pre-order hoodie, of which only $100 is donated to a Jamaican hurricane relief fund, just donate $228 directly to the hurricane relief fund.
Or whatever you can donate, because everything helps.
Fuck OVO again.
