Veedem, do games w Grand Theft Auto 5 turns 10 years old
@Veedem@lemmy.world avatar

So I’m assuming they’re going to release a brand new 10th anniversary edition for $70

Player2,

Expanded and enhanced

Olap, do games w Ubisoft Montreal's mandatory return-to-office order reportedly leaves staff in "turmoil"

What better way to manage head counts down?

ISOmorph,

That’s the devious part. It’s just mass layoffs without the severance packages.

conciselyverbose,

It still counts as firing you most places. Materially changing the work environment and obligations is constructive dismissal

Unforeseen,

Especially in Canada, and particularly in Quebec

caut_R, (edited ) do games w Nintendo demoed Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom

Please backwards compatible, please OLED, please enough power to 720p60fps everything natively (no upscaling, cause that sucks on such low res, Idm 4k upscaling).

1080p60fps on portable would be a dream but I‘m not that delusional.

I‘d also be hyped if they could offer joycons that make it usable for extended amounts of time in portable without destroying my hands or having to rely on third party cases.

@beefcat@lemmy.world avatar

Can we add a cheaper non-portable option to the wishlist? I don’t like paying for a screen or battery or junky mobile controllers that I will never use.

darth_helmet,

This is exactly where I’m at. I don’t think my switch has left the dock on purpose since I bought it, what a waste of resources.

Jabbawacky, (edited )

I just use Yuzu rather than my switch. Can’t beat 4k60fps+

darth_helmet,

No judgement from me, but I do try to pay folks for their stuff if I can afford it and it’s available in the market

Jabbawacky,

? I buy all my games and rip them using my launch Switch. I then enjoy playing them in 4k60fps instead of using the dock, with the saves synced via wifi so I can go back to handheld after.

Emulation does NOT = piracy for fucks sake.

darth_helmet,

Ok, carry on. My mistake.

Jabbawacky,

Do it again and you’ll get the raspberry

@russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net avatar

Out of curiosity, how do you do the save syncing? I’ve already got Yuzu itself all setup, but this would certainly help with some issues that I face when using it.

simple, do games w Haunted Chocolatier will have a larger world than Stardew Valley, creator confirms
@simple@piefed.social avatar

Please just stop working on Stardew Valley updates, I really want to play haunted chocolatier some day.

wazzupdog,

I do quite appreciate the updates stardew had gotten to improve longevity (esp for modding)

CatsGoMOW,

Blasphemy! 😂

How do I agree 100% with both of these comments…

Kelly,
User79185, (edited ) do games w Eurogamer: we can't recommend the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds

YOU HAD ONE JOB… to render a damn desert… that is mostly empty… this should work on literally 10 years old gpus with 2gb ram with 100+ fps… they are lazy, they are cheaping out on optimization, game textures do not even look good.

Absolute state of PC Gaming in 2025. It is piss poor, but keep upping ngreedia stock with those $1000 gpus to play vaseline mess with PS3 textures.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Have you ever worked on a game before? I’m curious how you think laziness plays into this when the entire industry is collapsing and everyone would love to hold on to their jobs.

elephantium,
@elephantium@lemmy.world avatar

Indeed. This is 100% on management for not prioritizing PC and rushing the release dates. Cheaping out is right, lazy…not so much IMO.

ms_lane,

Doesn’t really matter though, it’s NOT on the consumer. We don’t have a responsibility to buy badly optimised garbage.

elephantium,
@elephantium@lemmy.world avatar

O…kay? I never said you HAD a responsibility to buy MH Wilds. I’m really not sure where your vehement reaction is coming from.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

You don’t, but the “lazy devs” accusations are nonsense explanations for it being poorly optimized.

yamper,

agreed, making video games has gotta be the worst ROI software job in the world. bad hours, bad pay, bad management. anyone who wanted to be lazy could do so anywhere else but video games.

catloaf, do games w Beyond Good & Evil 2's troubled development due to "passionate managers" not getting along, says creator Michel Ancel

The article seems to say that “passionate” is code for “toxic”.

grrgyle,

Yeah it means things got pretty heated

ikidd, do games w Crypto bros have discovered idle games, and the results are incredibly boring
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

That fucking site’s cookie banner can suck my rectum. Not even going to bother.

sjmulder,

Why do they have one at all if they’re going to blatantly not comply

blanketswithsmallpox, do games w Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now

Thank you for all the free updates ConcernedApe. I hope you’re enjoying your time with your millions and if/when you release the Haunted Chocolatier I’ll get that too. You’re great and your game is great.

Mini_Moonpie, do games w Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now

The article says that comment came from a CEO of another game company, not players. Tim Bender, the CEO of the publisher for The Manor Lord, said “Players are happy, the developer is happy, and we as publisher are thrilled beyond belief.” I don’t understand where the post title that says he cited gamer expectations came from.

Infernal_pizza, do gaming w Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 always online, including campaign, due to "continuous" texture streaming
@Infernal_pizza@lemmy.world avatar

So this means it doesn’t take up much disk space right?

Xbox’s store page for the game reveals Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s install size is an eye-watering 309.85 GB.

Wtf?

Katana314,

If they add any patches, then Series S owners won’t be able to install it at all, much less own any other games.

rwhitisissle, do gaming w Reuters claims Nintendo Switch 2 is expected later this year

I don’t see how they can be releasing a Nintendo Switch 2 when they just released the Nintendo Switch like…a year or two ago. Wait…when did the Switch come out? March of 2017?! Holy shit it’s been 7 years.

PhlubbaDubba,

it’s been 7 years!

Stayed Gone begins blasting

coffee235,

is switch as strong as he purports, or is it based on his support? he’d be powerless without the other games…

t3rmit3,

You act like 2017 is old, like we’re not all still playing FF Tactics Advance, and Pokemon Fire Red, and Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones and having a blast like it’s 2004.

…We are, right? Right?

scrubbles, do gaming w Microsoft to lay off 1900 people across Xbox and Activision Blizzard
!deleted6348 avatar

Don’t worry, by buying so many studios they will invest more into gaming, and we’ll get better games than ever!

Monopolies are never good, kids. Attempted monopolies are just about as bad.

I’m also real tired of the copro euphemisms going around trying to hide that they’re firing people.

SnotFlickerman,

copro euphemisms going around trying to hide that they’re firing people.

Like Return to Office? Never has the corporate C-Suite ever had an easier excuse to shitcan people for no good fucking reason.

scrubbles,
!deleted6348 avatar

The easiest layoff method there is.

Still, the most putrid word for me is “right-sizing”

t3rmit3,

I’m not sure if “copro” was meant to be “corpo”, but either way works. xD

scrubbles,
!deleted6348 avatar

Phones really don’t like “corpo”… but I’ll leave it for you

t3rmit3,

Damn Google and Apple trying to program us against anti-corporate thought. :D

Thalestr, do gaming w Are there too many video game remakes and remasters?
!deleted6828 avatar

Yes. Especially when it’s only like 2 or 3 years after first release. It’s just double dipping at that point.

Sivick314,
@Sivick314@universeodon.com avatar

@Thalestr @chloyster on the SAME SYSTEM. Crazy

beefcat,
@beefcat@beehaw.org avatar

no, the original is only a PS4 game

Sivick314,
@Sivick314@universeodon.com avatar

@beefcat I assure you it runs on the ps5 and was released on the ps5 because it was THREE YEARS AGO

beefcat, (edited )
@beefcat@beehaw.org avatar

that is the PS4 version running under backwards compatibility. the game released months before the PS5 launched.

you wouldn’t call f-zero gx a wii game just because the wii is backwards compatible with gamecube games.

Serinus, do games w Unity reportedly considering cap on hugely controversial per-install fees

Yeah, that ain’t gonna cut it.

alex_lofi, do gaming w Fallout TV series "sneak peek" leaks online following Gamescom Starfield presentation

Oh please let it be good.

FancyFeaster,

Same. It will either be amazing or terrible.
