Left Alive – Brilliant Idea turns out into Buggy Project Game

Front Mission is one of those popular IP’s from the early ’90s that has found a new lease of life in the new generation of consoles. The original game was developed and released by Square Enix back in 1995, and it was hard to label under a genre given the number of things the player had to do in the game. Left Alive is a relaunch of the saga focusing this time around on stealth with mecha tactics. It’s sound like a great combination and a winner on paper, given the creative forces behind it.

Sadly it looks like Square Enix has dropped the ball on this game. The game is out for PS4 and X-Box One. After playing the version of the game that was available on release date, there are quite a few Continue reading “Left Alive – Brilliant Idea turns out into Buggy Project Game”

Blizzard shuts Down 18,000 Overwatch Players Accounts accusing them of Toxic Behavior

When game developers wanted to bring connectivity among players worldwide the best way to make that happen was using the internet. While some of the greatest rivalries have born with online player dishing out their best techniques in these online environments, it has also brought the worst out of many of them. Being labeled a “toxic player” means that you probably are one of the many guys that go online and chews out other players with non-rational banter, insults, and homophobic remarks. While the game community never seems to run out of those, many developers are aiming at these gamers by taking them out of the picture.

Ethics over Earnings

That’s right. Some developers are willing to let go of paying customers just to make their games environments safer for the audiences who wish to enjoy the game, thus bringing the concept of “safe spaces” into video games for the first time. The first one to take such a drastic measure has been Blizzard Studios when their South Korea division announced a ban hammer on almost 18,000 accounts just a few days ago. The company Continue reading “Blizzard shuts Down 18,000 Overwatch Players Accounts accusing them of Toxic Behavior”
