Solemarc, do games w Silent Hill f has been banned in Australia, and no one knows why

Didn’t even know this existed lol, crazy how decentralised the game industry has become now that e3 is gone. There’s no official “time to announce your games” part of the year anymore.

GunValkyrie,

It was bundled in the announcement of all the silent hill games coming. Which was mostly overshadowed by the SH2 remake.

Australia is pretty censorship heavy is it not? They banned Cannibal Corpse until 2006. I mean no disrespect to any Aussie’s reading this.

None taken, I still get embarrassed when I remember they banned GTA V cuz it had weed in it, got brought back quickly with an R18+ rating games couldn’t get up until then coincidentally.

Agrivar,

How’s the fight for legalization coming down under?

sith, do games w Nintendo discontinuing Gold Points on the Switch eShop, ahead of Switch 2 release

Just buy a Steam Deck instead.

robbinhood,

Steam Deck seems pretty amazing. Unfortunately, in my case, it’s too big to travel with and I doubt my small hands will find much comfort.

Really hope they come out with a Steam Deck Lite. I know you can buy smaller handheld PCs but last I checked they were quite pricey (tbf I haven’t checked recently)

I have small hands and my kids use it without complaining. It’s bigger than a Switch, but not too much bigger. I’ve traveled with it plenty.

robbinhood,

The Switch OLED is already a bit big to travel with for me but I make do and I’d prefer it to be smaller in hand. I had the lite and much preferred its form factor. OLED does have a much, much better screen. Different strokes for different folks. The Deck doesn’t meet my use case, nad that’s fine.

orgrinrt,

I love the thing and use it extensively whenever I can, but it is bulky and hard to fit into bags with other stuff. If there was a way to separate the palm rest bits and have most other things be flat, and thin enough, that’d make a huge difference. But the bulky palm rests attached to the thin body, it just unavoidably wastes some space, and even more if one wants to be safe and use the case.

But it’s not that bad, easily lived with. Doesn’t remove the fact that it could be much better in that regard though.

Still easily more portable than a laptop though! And much more comfortable to use for gaming, if that’s going to be the most common use case for a computer while you travel.

moakley,

Ugh.

Hyphlosion,

I play my Switch docked 99.9% of the time. One thing holding me back with Steam Deck is I keep hearing about complications with trying to play it docked on TV.

Aielman15, do games w Dino Crisis 1 & 2 just got enhanced PC re-releases, courtesy of GOG
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

I was hoping for this after the Resident Evil bundle from a few months ago.

The way Dino Crisis 2 managed to turn the tankiness of the RE/Dino Crisis gameplay into an action-packed shooter is stunning to me and I love that game dearly. Replayed it last year and it holds up surprisingly well!

Now let’s hope for a Pararisite Eve GOG release! :D

@darkdemize@sh.itjust.works avatar

Parasite Eve is a Square Enix IP, so it’s possible it could get a PC port, but I wouldn’t count on it going to GOG. They’re almost as bad as Nintendo when it comes to hoarding their IPs.

Aielman15,
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

Oh damn, I don’t know why I thought it was a Capcom IP. Thanks for reminding me.

Make Parasite Eve but with the turn based gameplay of “Yakuza:Like a Dragon”

spizzat2,

I enjoyed the original Dino Crisis, despite the clunky controls, but I never played the second one because I wasn’t in the mood to deal with the same interface.

You’re saying the controls are better? I might have to give this a shot after 25 years!

Anyone know how it runs on the Steamdeck? I’m aware that Heroic launcher exists, but I haven’t looked into it yet.

Rooty, (edited ) do games w Black Myth: Wukong producer on The Game Awards top prize snub: "I came all the way here for nothing!"

BMW looks like a terribly mediocre souls-like, and it’s like 60 bucks on Steam. The hype surrounding it is manufactured AF.

DragonTypeWyvern,

12 souls-like fans absolutely furious

China mad Japan won in American awards. You love to see it.

This year Japan was try-harding so much

deus,

Were they? Last year they had Mario and Zelda and the year before they had Elden Ring. This year doesn’t feel particularly strong.

ZeroHora,
@ZeroHora@lemmy.ml avatar

Look at the nominee in all categories, they had Astro bot, Elden Ring DLC, FF7, Metaphor Refantazio, Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, they had a lot of games this year and they are all competing in different categories.

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

At this point, if BG&E2 ever comes out, it’s gonna be like a repeat of Duke Nukem Forever.

ms_lane,

Does that mean that sometime 11 years later, an earlier prototype will leak in a mostly complete state and the community will finish it up?

Because Duke Nukem Forever 2001 is better than ever.

mercano, do games w Of course someone has Doom running on Nintendo Alarmo now

Next up: Skyrim. “Hey, you. You’re finally awake.”

SynopsisTantilize, do games w Crypto bros have discovered idle games, and the results are incredibly boring

Lol my boss asked me if I knew how to build an EXE. I did not. So I spent a few days figuring it out with Visual Code. I build an idle game as my first game within a weekend. Man…low hanging fruit lol

ByteOnBikes,

That’s impressive!

I struggled with making my idle games interesting.

SynopsisTantilize,

My boss and I made a really fun fucked up story and it passed the time well

rickdg, do games w Black Myth: Wukong studio requests influencers not include "feminist propaganda" or Covid-19 references in coverage
@rickdg@lemmy.world avatar

excuse me wtf

Guntrigger, do gaming w Borderlands is failing already.

Well that tracks as Eli Roth has never made a good film.

muhyb,

I bet isn’t worse than Uwe Boll.

Nacktmull, 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
@Nacktmull@lemmy.world avatar

Why only devs though? No worker should be exploited like that, no matter the occupation!

FiniteBanjo,

If workers only made unfinished parts and products and complained that consumers don’t appreciate it enough, then that would be a serious problem. This dev is complaining that people badger him on how to improve and finish his game while still selling it as Early Access on Steam.

ipkpjersi,

A lot of gamers use the term “devs” colloquially when a lot of the blame for many of the evils of modern gaming should actually go to management and publishers.

psyc, do games w Niantic: Pokémon Go healthy and growing as it approaches its next decade
@psyc@lemmy.world avatar

I haven’t played in the last year or so but the game did age very well. I played it like everyone else when it first came out and the novelty quickly wore off and the game had very little depth. I revisited it many years later on a whim and was surprised with how much content had been added. I ended up playing regularly for a few years after that with my wife. The game is definitely dependent on where you live and now that I’m in a more rural area I don’t play very much but even in a medium population city it’s was very enjoyable. I joined a local discord and we attended many community days and it was a great deal of fun and very social. Fond memories, and I hope to revisit the game again

SturgiesYrFase, do gaming w GOG adding cloud gaming support via Amazon Luna "soon"
@SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml avatar

Not really sure how I feel about this. IIRC Luna only works through Chrome/Chromium and that’s not how I wanna live my life…

MiDaBa,

Agreed. No Firefox means no monthly payment from me.

dinckelman, do games w From Software is "working hard on Elden Ring DLC" but still doesn't have a release date "at this time"

A delayed game/dlc is always better than a rushed one

jroid8,

A delayed game/dlc is always better than crunch time (sacrificing your humanity and working 18h a day)

dinckelman,

That’s a whole separate can of worms. I don’t have any respect for studios, that actually force people to work hours like this, just to hit some arbitrary deadline, that they imposed on themselves

sunbunman,

Larian really knocked it out of the park having 3 studios around the globe so they can still have a 24hr workflow without pushing everyone to do overtime. I really want to know what their handover procedures are.
