As someone that trudged through Odyssey and has been really enjoying Valhalla despite its immense size, I welcome this change. Good Lord these games are huge.
I enjoy the scale of large games, but Odyssey and Valhalla was too much even for me. I’d like maybe half that (which would still be at least 50 hours I suspect).
I want a dark souls anime in an older style animation (think berserk) and directed by Lynch. I want to walk out of every episode feeling confused, exhausted, and vaguely depressed.
After 30 minutes, you will be given a trivia test. You have to tick the right box with your remote. If you fail, you get a “You died” screen and have to watch the episode again until you succeed and can watch the next episode. There are no help pages on the internet. If you google for help, all you get is "GIT GUD! People who ask for a story mode are shouted at.
Loot boxes should be banned and in game currency needs to be banned as well. I’m so tired of this just accepted practice of scamming people out of money with shitty in game currency prices.
Let me arbitrarily change the difficulty whenever I want. I hate games that don’t let you do this. The worst offender was Resident Evil Village. It let me lower it but wouldn’t let me increase it back without starting over.
Are we really calling tweaking a config file a “remaster” now? This is the bare minimum for a new console, IMO, and it is absurdly disgusting they thought some of these “upgrade packs” should cost money.
They're not charging for performance upgrades. The only paid DLC packs are the ones that are, well, actual DLC. What makes that more "disgusting" than any other DLC?
Yes, they are. If you want 60 FPS and a higher resolution in the two open-world Zelda games, you either need to pay more or have NSO + Expansion Pack. There is no justifiable reason for these to be bundled in with the “Zelda Notes” shit (that’s a smartphone app and not even part of the game).
Sure, but I think that the type of game is a pretty big input. Existing generative AI isn’t great at portraying a consistent figure in multiple poses and from multiple angles, which is something that many games are going to want to do.
On the other hand, I’ve also played text-oriented interactive fiction where there’s a single illustration for each character. For that, it’d be a good match.
AI-based speech synth isn’t as good as human voice acting, but it’s gotten pretty decent if you don’t need to be able to put lots of emotion into things. It’s not capable of, say, doing Transistor, which relied a lot on the voice acting. But it could be a very good choice to add new material for a character in an old game where the actor may not be around or who may have had their voice change.
I’ve been very impressed with AI upscaling. I think that upscaling textures and other assets probably has a lot of potential to take advantage of higher resolution screens. Maybe one might need a bit of human intervention, but a factor of 2 increase is something that I’ve found that the software can do pretty well without much involvement.
Except for the fact that the CEO wasn’t fired even though he made a comically lazy and incompetent mistake (going on a buying spree before confirming that the investment would go through).
Buddy, this isn’t the navy. The captain isn’t going down with the ship. As much as we would all want or hope for them to. If anything, them chopping their workforce down will be seen as them improving the value of the company. The investors are who they actually answer to. And they are going to want them to make them money before they pull out all their investments and crater all those studios.
While these are former Rockstar devs, so there is some incentive by Take Twoto potentially take them down, what they have shown is… Not impressive yet
“Driving and shooting, the game.”
Oh and you can make your own scripted driving and shooting levels
Granted you can say the same thing about GTA technically… But the characters are not interesting and the gameplay looks… off. The ragdoll enemies and the lack of any gun recoil. Just comes off as steam asset flip quality
The game looks like a mixture of GTA, Mafia, modernize APB in a cyberpunk-esque universe with generic Unreal 5 graphics.
The mod tool is the biggest feature in my eyes, but for the average gamer does that make a difference? I don’t think you need to pay to criticize this game, but what do I know? I been paid by Russia and China to have this account on lemmy 🤷♂️
