4.8 out of 5 stars from 23 ratings
  • Good show.

    I really enjoyed Destin’s work at IGN. Loved listening to him on Unlocked for all the those years. I was hoping that this would have a similar vibe to that. But, unfortunately it’s hard replicate the magic he had with Ryan. Kinda comes across as old man talks to Tik Tokers. No offense Destin. I’m old too. I think that this show will only get better with time.

  • Destin’s great

    Always liked Destin; always thought he was a good host and podcaster - even if some of his takes can be a bit wild and fun 😉. Only a few eps in and he’s had some great guests. Def recommend giving it a listen.

Q: How do you approach balance to avoid making a hero overpowering or breaking the sandbox?
We start with a numerical model for base attributes, run daily playtests with internal and elite tester teams, adjust based on feedback, launch, and then monitor community responses and statistics to fine-tune balance.
Marvel Rivals Devs Explain Why Their Fan First Approach Works
Q: As a creative director, what are the most important aspects of Marvel Rivals for you to get right?

Q: How did Luna Snow come to life, and what was it like concepting a whole original character with a duality design and a K-pop influence?
We knew the hero needed ice damage and healing, there were no Marvel characters like that, so we created Luna Snow with a duality concept—light and dark— drawing from moon imagery and a Korean pop culture sensibility, and we collaborated with other creators to shape her identity.
