bluepoint might be the biggest disappoint for me.   

to go from amazing demon's souls remake to a failed GaaS game and studio closure is such an epic management failure.

just got an email that destruction all stars is being taken offline.  

... surprised that hadn't already happened.

Did you go and speak to him?

[kitler53]

no.

it's an out door venue which means everyone stands and there are no seats.   my group was hanging out near the back.   there was a break after sleater-kinney and "mark" walked from the front-ish of the venue directly at me passing within inches of my on his way to the bathroom/food.

so like i got a really close look but also i'm not one to pester a celebrity so i didn't stop him or anything.

it probably wasn't him but dang nabbit it was him.   my one friend's response was "it's a liz phair concert.   every 10th guy looks like mark cerny and so does every 38th girl..."   his point was not entirely wrong,.. mark's look was a good fit for the audience:

Yeah, I'm not sure if I would ever go to a celebrity.  What if it just looks like them, and then, the dude who's not the actor, just fully rolls with it, and then you're talking to a guy, who's not the guy, pretending to be the guy, and you thought you met the guy, but you didn't.

for me its mostly human empathy.

i would never want to be a celebrity because that idea that leaving the house in any capacity means being followed by paparazzi and hounded by "fans" demanding you chat with them a minute and take a selfie.  i get interaction with fans is part of the job but everyone needs a break from work sometimes.  if the only place a celebrity can have some rest is in their home i think i'd feel imprisoned.

so like, unless i see a celebrity in some context where interaction feels appropriate (for mark cerny that would be like seeing him at TGS) then i just feel like i'd be an bumb to demanding a selfie.

Pretty cool!

But mark cerny isn't a celebrity haha. He's probably fringe enough to not be overwhelmed with people wanting to say hi.

Oh, I definitely wouldn't.  For your exact said reasons.  I was just exaggerating and managed to find a joke as I was typing.  Never meet your heroes and they say, so while I might just thank them for the entertainment and shake their hand, I'd leave them be.  Maybe just glance and be like "Is that him/her?"

Soooo....Sounds like Naughty Dog's release order is Intergalactic, Uncharted 5(or some new uncharted), then TLOU Part 3(or whatever they are doing)

[nnodley]

we may be eatin goooooood from ND starting next year if Intergalactic is a late 2027 game, Then uncharted in 2029?, TLOU in 2031

[nnodley]

or that's super optimistic, but a man can dream

Yeah lol 7 years between tlou2 and intergalactic, but only 2 for u5 and tlou3 is a wee bit optimistic!

sure but TLoU online was canned.   so like that is probably 3 years wasted effort at least.

i mean, i'm not really disagreeing with the overly optimistic assessment but i believe UD has 2 teams so it is possible to get a short time between intergalactic and U5.    I'd like to think U5 would be faster to develop than intergalactic since it's not a new IP.
