That looks really good. Reminds me of a Steam Mod called Neotokyo that I used to play.
They had a carry the ghost mode, whomever carried it the most won and whomever was hodling it couldnt' shoot, but it would show where all enemies were within 15m. It also used local voice and really good players could do some insane callouts to keep people from taking the ghost.
I miss that game.

Red Cross urges gamers to obey laws of war while playing first-person shooters: 'Even wars have rules' | Fox News
Humanitarian group wants to fight against the normalization of war, even for people playing games from their couchwww.foxnews.com
The ICRC listed four rules for gamers around the world to follow that apply to the rules of war.
The first rule: "When an enemy is down and can’t respond, you can’t keep shooting at them."
The second rule: "Bots that don’t fire unprovoked are considered civilians, and you can’t target or harm them."
The third rule: "In any given game map, houses, schools, or hospitals are considered safe zones that you cannot harm. When fighting in these spaces, you must do everything you can to avoid damage."

So the game will be complete garbage.

So, Mortal Kombat 12, except we're calling it 1 (it's 12, since Raiden is still replaced by Liu Kang, which wouldn't be if it was a real reboot).

It's so dumb. Like I said in the other thread, people are going to call it "MK12" regardless.

it mentions a lot of the staff have very little actual experience lol. I wonder if this is the expected result of a generational handover from Gen X who are basically cynical and lazy but don't really give a shit what people think to Zoomers who are more feelsy and woman-ish

That generation thats all "feelsy and woman-ish" was getting the tech industry handed over to them a good decade ago. Im not even sure what the generation after this is known for at this point.

Trajectory seems about right. We're going to be in old folks homes before counter culture is no longer fighting conservatives. But at least I'll be able to shit in my diaper while I play WoW 2 by then.

Every Bioshock game has been development hell. System Shock 2, despite coming out okay in the end, was an epic disaster too from what I know.
The video game industry is a massively profitable industry that pays absolutely bottom-tier wages, not just by tech company standards, but more broadly by the standards of the high COLA areas most studies are based in. If they can't get good developers, it's because social media, crypto schemes, self-driving, other AI applications are paying literally 4-6x as much money to start.

I just.. I just dont get that. Why is it that a field where you can go from designing some database shit for Wells Fargo pay a good 30-40% more than a Game Dev where the devs work will literally make them more money, quicker? Such a fucking weird industry and its no wonder they dont attract normal fucking people.
