Stop talking. There's a Switch game called Japan Train Models where you build models of Japanese trains and make your own dioramas and take pictures of them in Appreciation Mode and it feels a bit like an Artdink game and Big Geoff K left it out of his awards show.
In love with Steambot Chronicles. PS2 era Irem was magical. Just trundling about with a pal in my trotmobile after watching her sing in a den of thieves and then we fought a huge mech that emerged out of the desert sands.
@gossipmongers1
Well done on absolutely fucking it lads! Absolutely incredible of job of fucking something up! Just a masterclass in taking something wonderful and flushing it down the drain. Round of applause.
The Mizzurna Falls translation is finally playable!
@residentevie
did the translation and you should check her video playthrough if you're interested in the game.
Today the team
@KaizenGameWorks
hit alpha on our new game and passed submission on something else secret.
Our new game is big and fun and weird and I am so impressed at what we've put together. Everyone has worked incredibly hard and now I am going to play Splatoon and pass out.
Taking a quick break from my twitter holiday to say thank you to everyone that voted for Paradise Killer in the Golden Joysticks. We didn't win anything (we weren't asked to record an acceptance video) but we stood with the biggest games and that blows my head off. Cheers!
It seems like more of the Death Stranding stream is being revealed the more viewers it gets. Kojima said that coop and helping people online is a big part of the game.
It is my first time to eat a British snack. Thoses must probably be a British aristocracy OYATSU ! Thank you.
@KaizenGameWorks
Working with them has taught me a lot about the importance of going back to the basics.😊🥳
My pals, today is my last day at Supermassive. It's been an amazing 6 years with a fantastic team but I'm going to become one of those 'indie developers' and make my own video game for a while. Cheers.
Here's something I didn't realise about the games industry until now; some of the biggest award shows in the industry charge you to enter. You get an email asking if you'd like to be eligible for [prestigious award] then there's a $250-$1000 fee attached to it.
One of my dreams when making the dumb decision to quit my job and make my own game was to get it featured on A Big Website. Kotaku is one of the biggest and here's Paradise Killer being featured on it!
Hard to believe we started this 2 and half years ago. It's been a wild ride with my best pals and I am so happy with what we've made. And it's on Switch!!! A dream come true!!!

Just had a realisation
Me watching football: haha, all these people getting over excited every time a run starts like it's ever going in, haha
Watching Richie play Dark Souls: Fucking yes mate, this is it lads, THE RUN, GOODBYE CAPRA
My podcast app displays full screen art for the podcast on the lock screen. There's a bug with it where it only shows 2 Good Boys art no matter what podcast is actually playing.
A dominant brand.
Paradise Killer is coming to PlayStation and Xbox with NEW STUFF! New mysterious beings! New rogue [REDACTED]! New music! New collectables! 4K60! Ray tracing! HUD-less mode! This will also be a free update to all existing versions of the game! March 16th!
Stop making high res texture packs. Stop upscaling games with machine learning. Stop fetishising high resolutions as way of asserting a game's quality. Appreciate art for what it was when it was made.
Was just sat across from a youtuber in a sushi restaurant that kept filming himself criticising everything his wife ordered and I don't think a court would convict me if he ended up with chopsticks where his eyes should be.
Started Silent Hill a few times over the years but never finished it. Completed it tonight. Amazing atmosphere exploring the town, the 'dungeons' don't outstay their welcome and it looks incredible.
Also, the Japanese box art is a billion times better than the western art.
We're not ready to tell you what it is yet, but something remarkable's on the way. Brace yourself for eccentric brilliance from one of the best teams in the business. ♥️
Been playing a lot of the demo of my game ready for demoing at EGX next week. I really like it. It's open world so I keep finding things we implemented months ago that surprise me. It's a weird feeling showing off a game I wanted to make rather than something I was told to make.
The Dark Souls easy mode chat starts again. Not every game is about content tourism. Some are about mastery. This isn't about 'git gud', it's about exploring a director's vision of a world and mechanics existing together and some of those mechanics are hard to master.
EXCITING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!
There is a F O U R page preview of Paradise Killer in the new issue of Edge. Please enjoy Phil showing it off.
Thanks to
@edgeonline
for asking to take a look at the game. This is a dream come true.
Made a new custom gunpla; the HyakuGraze long range fighter type. Equipped with extended range jet pack, rail gun and grenade launcher.
Uses the body of the Hyakuri with arms and legs from the Graze. Top of the legs are Hyakuri and bottom half are Graze.
I'd like to run a patreon where people pay me a full time salary to intimately document every building in the Yakuza games and track the changes in each game. A wiki of every business in Kamurocho and how it's changed ownership kind of thing. That'd be a lovely project.
I had the honour of being asked to submit a list for the top 100 list. I want you to know that I voted for God Hand. It would appear no one else did, but it is important that you know that I did.
The 100 greatest games of the past 30 years: our special anniversary edition celebrates the finest interactive accomplishments of Edge’s lifetime. The new issue of Edge is on sale now:
Got my console setup done. PS4, Switch, 360, J360, WiiU, PS2 test kit, GameCube, soft modded Wii, Dreamcast and chipped PS1 all hooked up. Wii, PS2, Cube and PS1 all looking incredible through the OSSC and Dreamcast through VGA.
Popping down the post office to ask Carol for a code to watch a Source filmmaker video of Kasumi from Dead or Alive giving it to the girl from Bioshock Infinite
Reminder that you can turn retweets off per person that you follow. There's a *lot* of misery and outrage being RT'd and your mental health will be better if you turn off retweets, mute words about UK and US politics and use a twitter extension that turns off promoted tweets.
I am playing this right now and it rules. And owns. I love it.
Extreme X-files vibes and the music is very Twin Peaks. Highly recommended if you enjoy those vibes.
Today marks ten years with the love of my life and soul mate
@AbKi
. She taught me what love is and we've had a perfect ten years together. One time she cooked me a perfect steak while I played Demon's Souls 10/10.
Instead of getting pissy about streamers, maybe demand that the billion dollar corporations hosting these streams pay for the right for games to be on their platform. They make loads of money from the hard work of developers and streamers.
Before leaving to chase the indie dream, I was lead designer on this. It's well good. The team are doing a fantastic job, so happy to see it get announced.
"For God Hand, I wanted to make a game I thought was fun, and I decided on one single member of the team to be my main customer. I would ignore everybody else's opinions." - we'll be releasing the 2nd & last part of our long portrait on Shinji Mikami... and his Ferrari tomorrow.
Decided to play MGS Ghost Babel. Not touched this copy in years and years. When I opened it I found my copy of Resident Evil Gaiden that I thought I had sold years ago. Unbelievable.
Went to see Shonen Knife. Amazing gig.
Shout out to the guy right at the front who kept unlocking his phone to take pictures and every time showed the crowd his gravure wallpaper.
We are a three person team working like crazy to support our existing game and develop a new game while we wait for our first money to be paid out by platform holders. Time to pitch and that amount of money is extremely non-trivial.
Skimmed a 'Death Stranding is Metal Gear Solid Zero' video and a big chunk of it is a guy chopping up a logo in Photoshop and rearranging it to say MGS Zero.
