Xbox Xtended:

 

[Roguey]

Maxie introducing Phantom Liberty, huh?

 

[Infinitron]

Whatever Keanu's on I want it

 

[Roguey]

Looks like becoming a director made Carrie realize she needed to look like a normal person again, I'm sure her husband is happy.

 

[-M-]

There's no way Justin Roiland is voicing that High on Life DLC right?

Also that sounded like Michael Ironside on that Lamplighters game. Always glad to see him, shame Ubisoft completely wasted him on Splinter Cell after Chaos Theory.

 

[Alienman]

Lol, that interview with Carie Patel. Couldn't be more corporate if you tried.

 

[Lyre Mors]

He got un-cancelled.

 

[Maxie]

Maxie introducing Phantom Liberty, huh?

You better goddamn buy it.

 

[Infinitron]

Banner Saga guys looking older and more corporate

 

[RobotSquirrel]

you will be assimilated resistance is futile.

The indie games revolution and its consequences have been a disaster to the gaming race

I don't know who in their right mind would sign a publishing deal with microsoft of all people lol. That's just asking for bad things to happen. Oh right I worked for one of those studios LOL. *slams head against wall* (keep in mind this was at the end of my time in the industry, this was a sign of the end times for me).

Talk about a deal with the devil

 

[RobotSquirrel]

this montage is everything wrong with not only the modern games industry but the whole freaking world. ugh. Consoom product, get Todd howard tattoo.

 

[Gerrard]

Phil Spencer's skin suit is malfunctioning.

 

[duskvile]

I would like gameplay videos rather than behinds the scenes clips.

 

[Sarathiour]

is it finally over ?

The indie games revolution and its consequences have been a disaster to the gaming race

I think possibly literally every good game I played in the last 5 years was an indie. If that's a disaster, then I pray for the apocalypse.

I something like two Pathfinder games considered Indie?

 

[NecroLord]

Hmm, now that you mention it, no. They're published by deep silver. So not literally every good game then.

At the same time, pathfinders would probably not have been made if not for kickstarter, which feels like part of the indie revolution. So I guess it's an edge case. It's certainly not AAA.

There is way more groups then AAA or indie...

 

[Morgoth]

SotD is in development for all current platforms and will release someday.... probably.

 

[Gargaune]

No, not "way more", just one - AA, and even that one's a bit of a stretch. I've seen all sorts of other bullshit terms floating around, like "AA+" or "III", and it's all just delusional hair-splitting from people with way too much time on their hands.

AAA arose as the a videogaming equivalent for film's "blockbuster", a marketing term to distinguish top-dollar flagship productions from the rank-and-file "regular" videogames. Then you got "mobile games", albeit that's just the polite term for braindead toys you distract yourself with while you wait your turn at the barber's. And then, once the industry grew to once again provide a commercial space for small garage developers, you got "indie games", which can describe anything from mobile games on PC to the videogaming equivalent of the short film, the "cheap and cheerful" segment of the industry. The "AA" term itself merely describes what we used to just call "games" without any other qualifier.

That should be enough for all practical purposes, but some people ain't content until videogaming's taxonomy looks like the tangled spaghetti of metal subgenres.
