Developer Stoic Studio has posted job listings that reference fast-paced action, experience in live service games, and a potential release over the next couple of years. A recent opening for a combat designer alludes to some of the likely elements going into Stoic's next project. Part of the duties include coming up with ideas for all the various facets of battle in a "fast-paced action game", and lower, under preferred qualifications, it mentions experience in games-as-a-service and live games. The contract is for a release schedule over thee-plus years, including beta, launch, and post-launch. This corroborates information from this time last year, when other job listings mentioned MMO, live game, and online game experience. Stoic was coy at that point, stating that something is in the works, and we'd hear about it in the future. "Stoic's continuing to grow bigger than it's ever been before, and we're wading heavily into a new project with new ambitions and aspirations," Alex Thomas, principal creative designer at Stoic, said at the time. "We can't wait to be able to talk more about it soon and we hope you'll come along with us to a new world, with new stories to tell in a new game." Read the rest of the story...

Read more Have You Played The Banner Saga?Jul 9, 2019 - Rock, Paper, Shotgun Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. An idea I m happy to see the back of, is the notion that graphics is a one-way sliding scale towards photorealistic perfection. While I m certainly fond of games that exhibit hyperbudget beauty along the lines of Metro: Exodus or Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I m equally – probably more – excited by those who eschew realism in order to utterly master a particular aesthetic. Often, this takes the form of homage. Think Cuphead s take on surrealist 1930s cartoons, or Void Bastards comic book style. For my money though, nobody s done it quite like Stoic Studio, the developers behind The Banner Saga. (more…) Overthinking Games: The Banner Saga s banner represents unity rather than divisionFeb 11, 2019 - Rock, Paper, Shotgun Overthinking Games runs every other Monday, and is an opportunity for Malindy Hetfeld to take something about a game and think about it too much. Today she’s gotten really into the banner in The Banner Saga. Banners, then and now, are often a curious amalgamation of plain communication and naked aggression. They re well-known as heraldic devices, displaying a coat of arms to identify one side to the other on the battlefield, usually just before they were about to attack each other. However, they re also just a means of communicating who or what a place or thing belongs to. If you re shipwrecked, the flags on the boat responding to your frantic SOS can tell you where you are and who is about to rescue you. Even today, flags are used this way. Ships still use flag signalling to send messages without the need for radios. Warships still hoist battle ensigns, huge flags to stand out in the smoke and chaos of a pitched battle, showing that a ship is ready to fight, and which side it s on. In The Banner Saga, every clan, including your own, has a banner that flies overhead as you travel. But there isn t as much talk about the clan’s actual, physical banner as there is about what it represents: forging unity from the lack thereof, creating a clan rather than fighting others, and the rite of passing on stories to later generations. (more…) Malindy Hetfeld s 5 best games of 2018Dec 27, 2018 - Rock, Paper, Shotgun We asked a bunch of our regular writers to tell us what their five favourite games this year were. Today it’s the turn of Malindy Hetfeld, who probably has the most varied list My 2018 in games had me dealing with failure in multiple ways. Designed to move further and further away from the fantasy of the all-powerful player ever looking for an appropriate challenge, these games teach to forgive and accept forgiving someone a past hurt, accepting the lack of a perfect solution to a problem. From the satisfyingly familiar to a type of game I would usually avoid, 2018 had it all. (more…)
