  • Global-editor-in-chief Evan Lahti leads the developers behind some of PC gaming's biggest hits in a discussion on the state of our hobby and the biggest trends, risks and opportunities in PC gaming today. Joining us:
    Michael Douse - Director of Publishing, Larian (Baldur's Gate 3)
    - Rebecca Ford - Creative Director, Warframe
    - Eyrún Jónsdóttir - VP of Publishing at CCP (EVE Online)
    - Casey Yano - Co-founder, Mega Crit (Slay the Spire)
    - In this 80 minute conversation, our guests talk about making "hyper-engaging" games that defy the traditional advice of appealing to as broad an audience of players as possible; the innovation in game development only happening on PC; Steam as a "democratic" platform; industry layoffs and the emerging use of AI in development; and what we should take away from the standout successes of 2024, like Helldivers 2 and Balatro.

    What's the big deal at 46:38? Something about Hunt Showdown - I've listened several times but can't make it out. Huge fan of the game so keen to know what they are excited about!

    I am squeeeing so hard right now, and I'm shaking so much
    Freaking Larian and DE are my two favorite game studios and they're talking together. I've been a fangirl of them for years, and I can't shut up about them

    Pretty insightful non-the-less.

    whatever state it's in, Rebb and DE are making it worse

      How do you feel Rebb is a bad influence on WF ?

    • @lyl14ghost
      @lyl14ghost Місяць тому +2

      DE is historically awful at it. It's not her fault alone. WF is white knighted heavily and the devs really don't give 2 f**k about what players actually want for a long time.

      No clue what you're on about, under Reb Warframe has entered a second golden age! The devs have been listening and quickly adjusting more than ever- I've been playing a long while and it has not been this good in a long, long time.

      Having watched the latest DevStream, with Pablo discussing mechanical changes to Status, to Armor, and the discussion of a short Story on the Stalker and what's Leading up to Warframe 1999, I think they're doing a great job. Furthermore I'm enjoying the Eximus Units, and yes I can find true challenges in WF missions if I make the subtle choice of not overGearing a mission as excessively as some people do. Or just do some missions Solo, what a dramatically more engaging game. WF is beating Destiny 2 in the long-term Meta for some Reason.

      @@fierecat Good to hear. I stopped playing in 2019 (started with the first public build), because it was taking up too much of my time. But it was amazing and was groing and gettign better. I'd borderline kill for a full-priced Warframe repackaged into a single-player/coop experience. Now it's impossible, but maybe in the future something like that will exist.
      Nice to hear Space Mom again.

    39:40 The conversation got good here.
    When the guy said 'blockchain' and there was a shrill cry of pain, I felt that.
    "It's offensive from a creative point of view." Mm, delicious. So good. 🤌🏼🌶️
