Oh, Metacritic – you and your antics.
While many are O.K. with Metacritic being one of the top sources for video game reviews, there are also a fair number of people who dislike the aggregation that the website uses. However, to The Creative Assembly’s Tim Heaton, it is an important development tool.
“You know, every step of the way – from the beginning to the end – we’re talking about a 90% Metacritic,” said Heaton. “That’s our goal. That’s what we tell Sega. And we communicate that through graphs, basically, of where we think we are.”
Heaton even went so far as to discuss their team’s regular “Metacritic Analysis” sessions.
“We will break those features down into subsets, and we both look at it from a player’s point of view, and a reviewer’s point of view, and we’ll weigh certain features as to how we see players and reviewers look at them, and they’ll build up to a 100 percent score, and then we’ll judge where we feel we are on those individual feature sets, and see the momentum on those and the velocity on those, too.”
The Creative Assembly as a studio currently wields an average score of 76, which is by no means an indication of low quality. With the positive reception of Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai, they could very well achieve a score of 90.
