IGN UK Podcast #559: The Manic Marsupial and Jesse's Voice Changer

-
The manic marsupial, AKA Crash Bandicoot is back, and because he forgot to press record the first time; so is Dale with a second go at explaining all his thoughts on the game. Jesse is also on and has been playing a ton of Star Wars: Squadrons. In other news, he also has a new voice changer toy that distracts us for a good 30 seconds too. Cardy rounds off the trio by telling us all about his early thoughts of the Mafia Remaster and we also have an extremely tight round of The Endless Search that needs an action replay to decide a winner. It's tense stuff. Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please do: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Preloading Has Begun

-
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom isn't out for another week, but it's now officially available for preloading. As of today, Nintendo Switch users who preordered Tears of the Kingdom digitally can now preload the game a week early as expected. Of course, it still won't be playable until the game officially unlocks, but preloading it now might help you jump back into the world of Hyrule a little bit earlier — as GameSpot pointed out, the file is 16.2GB. Some fans have reported difficulty with getting the preload to begin, but it appears there's a simple solution. According to Twitter user @PhantomxKairi, canceling the preorder and preordering again should prompt the preload to begin correctly. My digital version of Tears of the Kingdom is now preloading on my Switch! For those who don't see the preload yet (I used a NSO game voucher) cancel the preorder and preorder again, download will pop up! Can't wait for May 12th <3 #Zelda #ZeldaTearsofth

Developer Who Worked on Metroid Dread Doesn't Appear In the Credits

-

Crediting has long been a thorny issue in the video game industry, and MercurySteam is the latest studio to not list every developer who worked on the game in the credits based on its internal crediting policy.

As seen on ResetEra, Spanish gaming website Vandal published an article detailing how Madrid-based MercurySteam did not list employees who worked on the game for less than 25% of the game's total development time. The article claims the game was in development for four years, meaning employees who worked on the game for less than a year were not credited.

Vandal's article lists three developers who were not credited in the game, including 3D artist Roberto Meijias, animator Tania Penaranda, and a third, anonymous employee. Mejias took to Linkedin to congratulate the team and ask MercurySteam directly why he's not in the credits despite the game using assets and environments Mejias worked on.

IGN has reached out to Nintendo and MercurySteam for comment, but in a statement to GameSpot, the developer said, "We accredit all those who certify a minimum participation in a particular project — usually the vast majority of devs. We set the minimum at 25% of development time."

MercurySteam says there are exceptions for employees who make "significant creative and/or technical contributions."

Crediting in the video game industry is sometimes subject to byzantine rules set by each individual company. There is no universal standard on who gets a credit for working on a video game, something that developers have criticized in the past.

This is MercurySteam's second time partnering with Nintendo on the Metroid series, previously working on 2017's Metroid: Samus Returns on 3DS. The studio has also worked on several Castlevania games for Konami.
