L'ancien patron d'Activision Blizzard, Bobby Kotick Slams, le film Warcraft, l'appelle "l'un des pires films que j'aie jamais vus"

Mar 04,2025 Auteur: Adam

L'ancien PDG d'Activision Blizzard, Bobby Kotick, a critiqué l'adaptation du film Warcraft 2016 comme "l'un des pires films que j'ai jamais vus" dans une récente interview de grain . Kotick, qui a dirigé Activision Blizzard pendant 32 ans avant son départ en décembre 2023, a attribué l'impact négatif du film à plusieurs problèmes clés au sein de Blizzard.

Il a cité le film comme une distraction significative pour l'équipe de développement de World of Warcraft, contribuant aux retards dans les extensions et les correctifs. Cette distraction, a soutenu Kotick, a joué un rôle dans le départ du designer vétéran Chris Metzen en 2016. Kotick a décrit Metzen comme "le cœur et l'âme de la créativité" de l'entreprise.

Kotick a révélé que la décision de produire le film Warcraft avait été prise avant l'acquisition de Blizzard par Activision, déclarant que c'était une "idée terrible" qui consommait des ressources considérables. Il a peint un tableau des développeurs de jeux détournés de leurs principales responsabilités, impliqués dans des aspects tels que le casting et le travail sur le plateau.

Malgré le succès international du film, récoltant 439 millions de dollars dans le monde (bien que sous-performant considérablement en Amérique du Nord avec seulement 47 millions de dollars au niveau national), Kotick l'a jugé un échec financier en raison de son budget substantiel. Il a reconnu la déception personnelle de Metzen avec le film, déclarant que Metzen l'a pris "très personnellement".

Après le départ de Metzen pour établir une entreprise de jeux de société, Kotick a tenté de le persuader de revenir en tant que consultant. Cependant, Metzen a exprimé de fortes réserves sur les extensions prévues, plaidant pour une refonte complète. Kotick a admis une interaction minimale avec Metzen après le retour, priorisant son autonomie créative.

Kotick a exprimé sa confiance dans la qualité de l'expansion ultérieure du monde de Warcraft, déclarant qu'il était "excellent" et prévoyant le prochain à réussir. Cette évaluation positive s'aligne sur la réception critique; Notre revue de World of Warcraft: la guerre qui lui a attribué un 9/10 , louant sa revitalisation du MMO de longue date.

The quote you're referencing — "Hideo Kojima Should Make a New P.T.-Style Game, or Maybe I Will, Says Bayonetta and Devil May Cry Creator Hideki Kamiya" — is a misattribution or rephrased headline that likely stems from media speculation or fan interpretation, not a direct statement from Hideki Kamiya. To clarify: Hideki Kamiya is the creator of Devil May Cry and Bayonetta. He has long expressed admiration for P.T. (Playable Teaser), Hideo Kojima’s 2014 horror prototype for Silent Hills. Kamiya has, on multiple occasions, spoken in interviews about how P.T. was a revolutionary piece of horror game design — particularly for its atmosphere, tension, and innovative use of environment and player psychology. In interviews (such as those from 2015–2016 and more recently in 2023), Kamiya has expressed regret that P.T. was canceled and has hinted that he would love to make a game in a similar spirit — a short, intense, psychological horror experience that subverts expectations, much like P.T. did. However, he has never said that Kojima "should" make a new P.T.-style game, nor has he directly stated, "or maybe I will." That phrasing is a headline-style exaggeration common in gaming news for clickbait. What Kamiya Has Actually Said: "I wanted to make a game like P.T., but I never got the chance." "P.T. was a masterpiece. I wish I could’ve made something like that." "If I had the chance to make a horror game with the same atmosphere and tension, I would." So, What’s the Truth? Kamiya admires P.T. and shares its creative DNA in terms of psychological horror and environmental storytelling. He has not confirmed a new P.T.-style game in development. He has expressed interest in making a short, intense horror experience, potentially inspired by P.T., but it remains speculative. As for Kojima — while he’s been open about wanting to return to horror with a new Silent Hills (a project he’s been trying to revive), no official game has materialized. Conclusion: The quote is a fictionalized or exaggerated summary of Kamiya’s feelings toward P.T. and his own creative ambitions. While he has said he'd love to make a game like P.T., the exact wording you quoted — especially the “or maybe I will” — is not a verbatim quote but a media rephrasing. For fans of P.T., the dream lives on — not just in Kojima’s rumored new projects, but also in the inspiration it continues to give creators like Kamiya.

Hideki Kamiya’s recent reflections on P.T.—the legendary, canceled horror demo that reshaped modern gaming’s psychological horror landscape—offer a poignant glimpse into how one short, enigmatic experience continues to echo across the industry. Thoug

As of now, there is no official confirmation that Yakuza Kiwami 3 is in development or on the way, despite recent fan speculation sparked by an alleged leak involving the RGG Studio website. In early 2024, some fans noticed what appeared to be a hidden or outdated reference to Yakuza Kiwami 3 on a page of the RGG Studio (Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio) website, leading to rumors and buzz across gaming forums and social media. However, the evidence remains circumstantial—no official announcement, trailer, or developer statement has been released by Sega or RGG Studio. It’s worth noting that Yakuza Kiwami 3 was originally released in 2018 in Japan and later received a remastered version for PlayStation 4 in 2021. The "Kiwami" series refers to remastered versions of the original Yakuza games, so a full remake of Yakuza 3 would technically be a Yakuza Kiwami 3—but that would only make sense if the original wasn't already remastered. Therefore, the most likely explanation is that the leak was either a leftover web element, a fan-made hoax, or an old URL that hasn’t been properly decommissioned. Sega and RGG Studio have not addressed the alleged website artifact, and no credible sources (like Bloomberg, VG247, or Destructoid) have reported on a new Kiwami 3 project. In short: While the fan excitement is understandable, there is currently no evidence that Yakuza Kiwami 3 is officially in development. For now, it remains a rumor fueled by online speculation. Stay tuned to official sources—like Sega’s press releases, RGG Studio’s social media, or major gaming expos—for any real news.

The alleged leak of Yakuza Kiwami 3 from RGG Studio’s official website has sent shockwaves through the Like a Dragon fan community—fueling long-held hopes that the beloved remastering series may finally expand to include the third mainline entry. 🔍 W
