stuck_in_the_shell, do gaming w Dark Souls reportedly being turned into Netflix anime
@stuck_in_the_shell@programming.dev avatar

Netflix ready to hire writers who purposefully despise the game and think it’s too hard and that games should be easier with spoon fed story telling.

How many IPs are they going to destroy?

koreth,

Their track record isn’t that bad, is it? Castlevania and Edgerunners were pretty good adaptations. Dragon Age was all right. And Arcane was amazing, though Netflix wasn’t involved in that one early on. So there’s reason to be at least cautiously optimistic, IMO.

Nah, that’s only for their live-action series. Their anime stuff has been pretty solid do far.

It’s fun so far

7arakun, do games w After parting ways with EA, WRC gets new home and six-year deal to "reboot" rally series

I loved Grid and Dirt 3, but haven’t really played any of the games since. I played Grid 2 a little bit when it went on sale. I’m interested if this new one is as good as those were.

vonxylofon,

Dirt 3 was absolute garbage. Dirt Rally was great, if not a bit spartan, and Dirt Rally 2.0 is what I can recommend as possibly the best rallying game since Richard Burns.

I will not hear this slander, Dirt 3 was awesome! Dirt 4 and 5 were meh though.

vonxylofon,

When they were making DiRT 4, there was probably a meeting where they said: hmm, DiRT Rally was too good, how do we make it worse? And then they came up with a lot of suggestions and implemented all of them.

MrScottyTay,

Dirt 2 is still one is my favourite racing games. It just gives me the right vibes. 3 felt lonely in comparison

StereoCode,

I’m not sure what crack this other dude is smoking but dirt 3 was awesome. I loved all the drifting time trials. Totally reminded me of Project Gotham racing.

7arakun,

I loved Project Gotham too!

nullpotential, do gaming w Elden Ring live-action film officially in development
@nullpotential@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I’m so tired of the commodification of everything.

Not sure I understand this take. The game was a commercial product, Fromsoft made it to sell to people. That doesn’t preclude it from being art, and a film adaptation being made of it also doesn’t preclude that.

A24 has a pretty good reputation for taking risks, and they’re an independent production company. Seems like probably the best possible way something like an Elden Ring film could be made, IMO.

Quibblekrust, do games w $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"

In today’s dollars, my local video game store in 1991 was selling Wizardry for the NES for $141.

Fuck, the average AAA Atari 2600 game was $99 in today’s dollars. Games like Pitfall and Pac-Man.

Just some perspective. I’m going to go yell at a cloud or something, now.

andros_rex,

Atari 2600 Pac Man is shit lol

Quibblekrust,

Yet I played it so much I can hear it in my head right now.

bobo,

bunk bunk ba-bunk bunk! Koik-doik! Koik-doik!

Voroxpete,

I’m actually OK with games costing a bit more to sell if they cost a lot to make; god knows, the devs deserve to get paid properly. But, one, that money won’t actually make it to the devs, and two, any time Randy Pitchford is for something it’s really hard not to automatically be against it, on the assumption that he’s so consistently wrong about everything, and just such an unbelievable piece of shit, that just assuming he’s in the wrong is the safest bet.

interdimensionalmeme,

The devs are not seeing a penny over what it would cost to replace them with someone hungrier.

interdimensionalmeme,

Fabrication costs have plummeted, while choice and competition in this space exoloded.

Financialization is what happenned to gaming and that’s why cultural successes are being leveraged at extortionate prices.

Borderlands 3 was boring ass slop too. BL4 is going to be a stinker.

Give us guaranteed emploment of the staff that built it, and you get guaranteed pre orders?

But_my_mom_says_im_cool,

Wait, how do you guarantee employment to a team after their work and contract is complete?

theneverfox,
@theneverfox@pawb.social avatar

You say what project they’ll be transitioning to as less and less bug fixes are necessary. Could even be dlc

fmstrat,

Game development should not be a gig economy. It is often treated as such so studio execs can pocket more money by dropping staff at release to pad their own wallets. There are plenty of game companies, and millions of companies in other sectors, that reinvest that capital into the company.

But what about other forms of entertainment? Movies! Books! Music!

Royalties. This would be another solution.

Tagging @theneverfox because they might find the thought of royalties vs continued Dev interesting.

theneverfox,
@theneverfox@pawb.social avatar

I do find it interesting…I don’t think it addresses the problem, but it sounds like a great idea

Realistically, how much are companies going to pay out in royalties? As little as they can get away with

Let’s say it’s 2% of a game that made $100M - you’re looking at tens of thousands each when it’s all split up. Which is great, maybe even life changing for some of them, but it’s not financial security kind of money

And then let’s say the game flops or gets cancelled… Well that’s not going to help much, so you can’t really rely on it

So I think the idea is great, but it’s still just fiddling with the knobs of capitalism

Tigeroovy, do games w $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"

Weeps in Canadian

I’ve been paying $80 the whole time! Now I have to pay even more!

Either way I won’t be buying Borderlands 4 for like $100 I can tell you that much.

carlossurf, do games w $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"

Borderlands 3 was the first game I didnt even bother finishing, just super boring lol

Shut up. Dingus.
