We did this last week to great success. So let’s do it again. This is your chance to ask me anything about the games industry. Just pop your question in the comments and I’ll reply – at some point today – with an answer.
I’ll be leaving this post open all day today and Thursday as well. Oh, and enjoy another image from Far Cry 2.

Can’t say I know much about HR in the local games industry, but I suspect most companies aren’t large enough to warrant full-time HR managers. As for marketing, a marketing assistant role at a local publisher would be the place to start. You’d want to be living in Sydney though. Some development studios have product or brand managers, so there may be opportunities for junior roles too.

Thursday, March 19, 2009 at 11:13 AMI really cant decide if I like farcry 2.
1. Some many little things/bugs that just made it so frustrating. (The game wouldn’t let me access radio towers for those assassination missions in Leboa Sako!)
2. All that talk about it being a sandbox experience was just rhetoric. Besides the fire I can’t think of any other variables in the box-o-sand.
3. Multiplayer is…strange. Every player (exaggeration) using that one-shot-kill sniper rifle? silly. Flamethrower? Completely useless. If you spring someone with it they just turn around and kill, then die.
Now, my question. Why does listing these faults make me want to go back and play it?

In Australia it is damn nigh impossible to get MGS1 or old Ps1 games for that matter. (im not counting ebay) It seems like a good business decision to put the original MGS on PSN (Japan has it).

Mad props for attempting to keep everyone happy!
Any truth to the rumour that Starbreeze’s “project RedLime” is a Syndicate remake? :D
