The Criticism Continues for GameWare Europe
GameWare Europe, the company that now owns the rights to the James Pond franchise, is facing harsh backlash from Chris Sorrell, the original designer of the first three games. In a recent interview, Sorrell did not hold back, calling GameWare Europe “lazy” and expressing his distaste for their latest project, James Pond: Rogue AI.
Despite acknowledging some interesting gameplay elements, Sorrell feels that the new game is more of a cash grab than a genuine attempt to innovate. He criticizes the company for exploiting a 34-year-old game without bringing anything new to the table, making it seem like technology has not progressed in decades.
Sorrell is also disappointed with how GameWare Europe has handled the James Pond brand, to the point where he no longer wants to be associated with it. He even takes issue with the promotional images for the game, suggesting that they look like they were created by artificial intelligence.
The controversy surrounding GameWare Europe and the James Pond franchise continues to unfold, leaving fans and critics alike wondering what the future holds for this once-beloved series.
