Mandy, do gaming w Starfield install size revealed, available to preload now

can these subpar double triple a games stop not compressing and optimising their shit again, and not dumping all of their over compensating textures and files on us? no?..okay…

Skiptrace,

I think this is Compressed. Remember 4K Textures are a lot of data.

Mandy,

with how this game looks, i refuse to believe that that amounts to that many gb of data (u sure thats 4k?)

Megaman_EXE, do gaming w Xbox 360 digital store will close next July

Being able to still download old purchases is my biggest thing. I’m glad they aren’t removing that

SilverCode,

This is my biggest reason for not buying the latest gen consoles. They lean heavily towards digital downloads, and I want to be able to unpack the console in 20 years for nostalgia and play a game without worrying if the game store is still available to download it.

There are physical disc versions, but I get the feeling even there the games won’t work out of the box without and internet connection to the online server/store

BotCheese,

in my experience the “physical” copy of a game now, only gives access to installing a game. But I dont really use consoles so maybe I am misunderstanding how it works.

weirdo_from_space, do games w Overwatch 2 is now Steam's "worst game of all time"

Every week some other game seems to claim that title.

I hope the Blood Dragon gets a proper sequel this time

That would be awesome!

Hubi,

I kinda hope they go back to a more gritty and realistic theme like they had going on with FC2. I wouldn’t mind a Blood Dragon sequel though, I feel like there’s a lot of potential.

falsem, do gaming w The Witcher producer blames Americans and social media for Netflix series' simplified plot

Yeah, blame your customers.

Simplifying is really different from what they did which is completely alter characters, unnecessarily kill off characters, introduce new plots that didn't exist, etc. The Lord of the Rings movies, and the recent Dune movie both did a lot of that but are considered fantastic adaptations. Even Game of Thrones was an excellent adaptation for the first ~5 seasons and had huge mass market appeal while still being complex.

This is just shitty writers making excuses.

isthingoneventhis,

man the dune movie was so interesting sounding and watching it was such a … idk… it was an experience. There was so much stuff that seemed so loosely strung together to the point of feeling almost baffling. I wouldn’t think LoTR or early GoT are comparable?

falsem,

:shrug: I liked it.

C4RP3_N0CT3M,

You might need to go back and watch it again. I had a completely different experience, and I found the plot rather cohesive. It's one of the best movies I've ever seen in my opinion.

GoodEye8,

I felt like Dune needed some prior knowledge of the books to really follow the plot. Not because the plot wasn’t cohesive, but because so much plot was condensed into a movie that was already 2 and half hours long. It’s not the fault of the movie, the book is just dense. But it does end up disorienting for the average viewer who can’t instantly adjust their understanding of the universe to fully follow the plot.

C4RP3_N0CT3M,

That's fair. I never read the books or even watched the original movie, but I do have fans in my circle that have given me a bit of an indirect knowledge of the Duniverse. Even still, the acting, the cinematography, the music, everything in this movie is just amazing to me.

Jumi, do games w 2025 will be a make-or-break year for triple-A video games as we know them

I can already see one AAA failure coming.

Is it Assassin’s Creed: Shadows? Because a failure by Assassin’s Creed standards is still pretty damn successful.

Jumi,

It is AC:Shadows.

ICastFist, do games w Employees at FromSoftware owner Kadokawa reportedly "thrilled" about possible Sony takeover
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

Better title: Kadokawa employees are reportedly “optimistic” about the takeover. Subtitle: Kadokawa owns FromSoftware

Kadokawa suffered a ransomware cyberattack earlier this year, but employees were left disappointed by the response from current president and CEO Takeshi Natsuno.

As a result, employees are said to be “thrilled at the prospect of an acquisition by Sony”, according to a new report from Japanese outlet Bunshun (via Automaton).

HAAHAHAHA, Oh The Onion, you guys are… It’s not The Onion… (for anyone that doesn’t get it, PSN has been hacked a couple of times)

Anyway, the “thrill” comes from the expectation that the current Kadokawa leadership will get the boot from the acquisition.

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

There reaches a point with vaporware projects where it’s like, actually release something or I don’t care anymore, it doesn’t deserve to keep getting press

Simulation6, do games w Friday the 13th studio IllFonic lays off staff as it 'realigns to a refined strategy'

Refined strategy of ceasing to exist?

DdCno1, do gaming w Sony shuts down Concord developer Firewalk Studios, game will remain permanently offline

I wonder if there is still going to be a Concord episode in the upcoming animated videogame-themed TV show “Secret Level”. A month ago, this was confirmed, but at that point, it wasn’t decided yet whether Firewalk Studios would be closed.

Cyv_,

If the work was already done to make the episode I think it should still be included. The artists and animators for it shouldn’t suffer because the thing their story was based on flopped.

DdCno1, (edited )

That’s an idealistic point of view and certainly an admirable one, but it might not be realistic. Perhaps Sony execs simply don’t want people to be reminded of this flop they signed off on.

@scorp@lemmy.ml avatar

hopefully they don’t get clowned on Social Media because of a Concord episode if ever released, Blur Studio are amazing

k_rol, do gaming w Eurogamer: It's been 12 months since Microsoft purchased Activision Blizzard, so what's changed?

Heroes of the storm has been getting some updates instead of just being dead. I’m a happy camper 🥲

kyle,

The most surprising thing I read on this thread

nucleative, do gaming w Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 always online, including campaign, due to "continuous" texture streaming

Hell to the no.

DebatableRaccoon, (edited ) do gaming w Take-Two is reportedly set to close Roll7 and Intercept and sell off Private Division

Is this interesting timing or is he going out of his way to prove his point?

Pantrygheist,

It won’t be ai, it will be greedy c-suits who will fire everyone

DebatableRaccoon,

I know. My comment was about if he’s trying to prove himself right by firing everyone just in time for the use of AI. Hell was invented for scum suckers like Strauss Zelnick
