VG247’s The Best Games Ever Podcast – Ep.38: The best game you’d never believe was from that developer

February 10, 2023VG247

Sometimes a game developer just goes off-piste, and the results are wonderful. Welcome to VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast: Episode 38 – The best game you’d never believe was from that developer. Hi-Fi Rush is a joyous cel-shaded rush of a rhythm combat game with a tone and art style not unlike Jet Set Radio, and it’s surprising, because it comes from a studio most widely known for Evil Within, a spiritual follow-up to Resident Evil, and Ghostwire Tokyo, which is sort of like Far Cry: Shibuya via Siren Blood Curse. It’s not the only example of a surprising or…

Naughty Dog co-president says the studio is “moving on” from Uncharted

January 27, 2023VG247

Was A Thief’s End a farewell for the series, or just Drake? Looks like Naughty Dog might be finished with the Uncharted series. Speaking with Buzzfeed, studio co-president Neil Druckmann said the team is “moving on” from it. “Uncharted was insanely successful,” said Druckmann. “Uncharted 4 was one of our best-selling games, and we’re able to put our final brushstroke on that story and say that we’re done. We’re moving on.” Does this mean the studio is finished with the series for good, or just Nathan Drake’s story? Only Naughty Dog knows for sure. But, that’s not to say another…

January 10, 2023VG247

Druckmann talks all about creating strong narratives, and The Last of Us, of course.
