1. 'On the eve of the Holocaust' studio blames 'prejudice and hate movements' for game failure
After several bounces and doubts, "Ready to Come" finally proved that all the doubts of players were correct on the day of release, from the hollowness of the content to the poor design of the game, so that this long-awaited survival game received widespread criticism from players on the day of launch.
Four days after the game's release, developer Fntastic announced that it would shut down the studio and the game's servers and stop selling to players. Interestingly, despite all this feeling like a hoax, Fntastic still chose to defend itself and the game by posting a statement on X after the game was shut down.
Fntastic wrote: "Although there were bugs and server issues when the game first launched, we fixed them one by one in a later update, and the game received better reviews over the weekend. Unfortunately, the hate campaign has done significant damage to the game. After the sale was stopped, many people wrote to us saying they liked the game and asked the game to continue operating. We have also heard of a petition to continue development. The price of the game on the black market is more than $200, and some people have also made mods to support us.
Fntastic said that despite the studio's closure, staff will stick to it, writing in a statement: "We encourage you to subscribe to the studio's social media accounts to stay up to date on what's next." But whatever it is, hopefully the audience will be more cautious about it.
2. The developers of Demeo are working on the Dungeons & Dragons VR game
Resolution Games, the studio best known for the board game Demeo, has announced that it has partnered with Wizards of the Coast to co-develop a VR adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons.
There's no news other than that this will be the first official DND VR game. Since Demeo itself is heavily influenced by DND, the game may provide a good direction for players to learn about the official DND title. At this time, Resolution Games has not revealed anything about the new game, and there is no expected release date.
3. Final Fantasy 14 live-action TV series has now been canceled
Recently, Hivemind, a film and television production company, said that the "Final Fantasy 14" live-action TV series project has now been officially canceled due to its large scale, cost and content, coupled with the financial pressure brought to the company after the epidemic.
Hivemind co-founder Dinesh Shamdasani tweeted: "The Final Fantasy 14 live-action TV series is dead. We got a great pilot script from Ben Lustig and Jake Thornton, as well as a multi-season plan they had with the company's team of writers, but it was rejected across the board.
It turns out that the scale of the staff, the amount of money and the post-production required to make this project a success is too large for any company to take any chance. During this time, we came close to working with Amazon, but in the end, we gave up. ”
Screenwriter Jake Thornton added: "Unfortunately, this is what is really going on after the global pandemic, with studios, distributors starting to tighten their wallets and the project not being fully funded. ”
4. Rumor: Sony is coming soon to Until Dawn PC and PS5 versions
Recently, the well-known uncle party billbill -kun broke the news: "Sony Interactive Entertainment plans to bring 'Until Dawn' to PS5 and PC, and this new version of the 2015 interactive horror game has been in development for at least a year and will be officially announced in the next 15 days." “
Until Dawn was originally developed by Supermassive Games, Sony was only the publisher, and the PS4 version at the time was built with the Decima engine from Guerrilla Games studio, and IP rights were perhaps the most complicated issue for launching a remastered/remastered version.
We're also sure to see more of the news when Sony holds a new "State Of Play" event in the coming weeks to showcase upcoming PlayStation games.
