"I am not even remotely qualified to give a talk about greatness," says veteran designer Brenda Romero, to a packed room that lined up to hear her speak about just that. Some of her closest friends, she says, are some of the best game designers in the world, and she's been in the industry for a long time ("I'm a lifer, man"). "I often feel like a pawn on a board of kings and queens. But that doesn't mean that I don't aspire, it doesn't mean that I don't want to be a great designer," she says. Throughout her career in games she has encountered a lot of compromises, corner-cutting and bad calls, because that's necessary in the business when you have to ship something. Those shortfalls troubled her, and she shifted her energy to making a game that she really wanted to make. She worked on the haunting board game Train until it approached her standards of greatness, lavishing att…

Black Ops 6 arrives on October 25, and tons of new information was revealed for multiplayer and Warzone during Activision’s Call of Duty: Next event on August 28, including live gameplay featuring Treyarch’s new omnimovement system. GameSpot was able to attend the event and speak with Treyarch about the changes in development for the new shared engine and how it enabled the studio to create Call of Duty’s new advanced movement.

The last Treyarch game was 2020’s Black Ops Cold War, which was a Call of Duty that was created on a shorter development cycle and required a pivot to work-from-home conditions during the pandemic. Now, Treyarch is back in the action again with an extended four-year development cycle for Black Ops 6, and it is the studio’s first game on Call of Duty’s new shared engine, which was introduced with 2022’s Modern Warfare 2 reboot.

  Uncategorized March 20, 2025 • Comments off

  If you follow Hideo Kojima on social media, then you know the legendary game director is quite a big cinephile–and that includes a soft spot for the Paddington franchise. Apparently, the feeling is mutual, as the little Peruvian bear has offered to dine with Kojima over a marmalade sandwich.

  The interaction came after Kojima posted a video of himself opening a promotional package for the upcoming Paddington in Peru movie, which contained a number of goodies–including a jar of Paddington’s famous marmalade.

  Marmalade sandwiches, of course, contain all the vitamins and minerals a bear needs for the whole day, though it’s unclear if this will be enough sustenance for a 60-year-old human man currently working on multiple video games.

  Though he’s best known for being very polite and taking things very literally, Paddington has also dabbled in tactical operations. This has helped him to put away some of England’s most notorious criminals.

  For his next adventure, …
