‘Split Fiction’ Releases Its First Update, Listening to Players

I’m the biggest public hater of Hazelight Studios, Josef Fares, and everything they do and strive for. Legally, Anthony had to ignore my request to rate Split Fiction a 0 — which, for us, would be a “Do Not Recommend.” But, unfortunately, the game’s doing splendidly. Across both Metacritic and OpenCritic, Split Fiction has garnered a 90+ aggregate score. Additionally, the game surpassed one million units sold in two days. Just read what Anthony said. He’s lucky I can’t demand his termination without “probable cause” or whatever.

“That the story of Split Fiction could be looked at as a commentary on AI is not lost on me. AI can’t do what these people just did. You need humans to make the end of this game happen. You need people who care about what they do — who put themselves wholeheartedly into what they do — to make something this incredible. From a pure gameplay perspective, what I experienced shouldn’t be possible, and yet, they pulled it off seamlessly. Split Fiction is an outstanding commentary on friendship, opening up, and creativity that everyone must experience.”

Pfft. Yeah, okay. …Actually, I’m now being told I have to “get to the point” of this article. So, without further complications, here’s the latest Split Fiction update.
