epicsninja, do games w AR horror Scrylight will "blur the boundaries of what’s real and what isn't"

So it’s a horror game that only works in houses with modern appliances.

vaultdweller013,

Behold my stuff!

Pile of old as shit appliances

smeg,

Granting a third party full access to all the questionably-secured devices in your home is the real horror

taladar,

To an IT person a house full of “smart” devices is already a horror to behold.

smeg,

You know what they say, the S in IoT stands for Security!

ASK_ME_ABOUT_LOOM, do games w Why does everyone swear so much in The Witcher 3?

Gotta wonder how many people are down voting because they think the title is moralizing, when it’s anything but that.

There’s nothing like going for a nice long walk around the world of The Witcher 3 and meeting some of the locals there. They say the nicest things. “Sod off, you misborn clod,” a guard will tell me. “Got so fucked up once, blood came out me ears,” a chap at the docks will announce. Or if I’m really lucky, “Go fuck your mums tits!” What a world to live in.

The thing is, I love this about the game. Being scolded by the ruddy-faced inhabitants of The Witcher 3 has long been one of my favourite things, ever since I first played it eight years ago.

Yeah, I don’t know either. I found it an interesting read, it also goes into conversation design in games. Felt like it would be appropriate here?

simple, do games w Payday 3 players endure second consecutive day of server issues, preventing them from playing

I mean this is pretty much par for the course for any online game launch. Hey, at least some people will stop buying early access so eagerly.

Hiccup, do games w Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis turns Square Enix's best into an avalanche of money-grabbing tactics

Square Enix is no longer square enix. They need to take a hard look in the mirror, like capcom, to see who they truly are or will see the collapse of the company. I fully expect either a Sony or Nintendo swooping in to buy them/ bail them out.

They keep fucking up and putting out/ producing garbage. I’m still pissed about how they ruined the remake.

mateomaui, do games w Unity will quietly waive controversial fees if developers switch to its ad monetisation service - report

ok, so fuck these people again

Shizu, do games w EA confirms The Sims 5 will be free-to-play and co-exist alongside The Sims 4

“Motherlode”: $4.99 for 25k Simleons

hyperhopper, do games w Starfield overtakes Skyrim with concurrent Steam players

No duh, it’s the new space Skyrim. Not really news or unexpected.

OsrsNeedsF2P, do games w RuneScape rolls back controversial pay-to-win Hero Pass in new update

Classic Jagex. runescape@lemmy.ml has monthly threads on open source Runescape emulations so you can play the game without their nonsense

FracturedEel,

That would be sweet, for os or rs3?

BlinkerFluid, do gaming w Nintendo demoed Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom
@BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one avatar

looks at their stock

…+$500

Now we wait.

gk99, do gaming w The Chinese Room is developing Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2

I cannot extract a silver lining out of this announcement no matter how hard I try. This is like Activision announcing that the next Call of Duty will be made by Mojang, they’re just so fucking grossly incompatible with each other that it makes absolutely zero sense.

FlyingSquid, do games w SAG-AFTRA votes unanimously to expand its strike to include the games industry
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Excellent! Power to the people!

regalia, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 "feels so alive" because it used mo-cap and 248 actors to bring its characters to life

Would really be cool if the devs did a tech talk on some of the techniques they used. They’re definitely ahead of the industry in a lot of the areas.

sudoshakes, (edited )

I wonder if the devs are or rather the folks who set the vision that were skilled at keeping such a complex beast going since 2016.

The end product is wonderful, but the sum of something that long in the making had more than skilled devs. It had a chain of people with faith in them that what was being created in their creative process was worth trusting, for a long time.

regalia,

GDC is always exciting because it’s a big conference of devs, mostly AAA devs, telling the technical details of their algorithms and systems. It really helps the game industry as a whole.

Blackmist, do gaming w Larian drops Series S split-screen as "solution" to bring Baldur's Gate 3 to Xbox this year

The right decision due to how it runs. It’s basically two copies of the game going at once. None of this players not being able to stray too far from each other nonsense like other local co-op games.

drspod, do games w Microsoft will sell Activision Blizzard streaming rights to Ubisoft

Does Ubisoft have a game streaming platform?

Jmr,

If they did it probably wouldn’t work. Considering that ubisoft connect is possibly the worst piece of software ever

dan1101,

The Game Pass PC client and EA Desktop are great competition for worst client.

GreenMario,

UbiConnect would be FINE if it remembered my login info. Steam does. Galaxy does. But that checkbox “remember my login” must be Swahili for “forget everything you just typed in”

SgtAStrawberry,

Look at the bright side, at least it doesn’t require you to be online to open offline mode, and then have offline mode throw a tantrum because it doesn’t have an Internet connection…

ILikeBoobies, do gaming w Starfield has housing system, player jail, and more reveals Bethesda in new Q&A

After Redfall I am really not looking forward to games from this publisher

Dr_Cog,
@Dr_Cog@mander.xyz avatar

Bethesda Games Studio is entirely different from Bethesda the publisher, so I wouldn’t be too worried

CleoTheWizard,

After fallout 76, I’m worried. After canceling Prey 2, I’m worried.

Dr_Cog,
@Dr_Cog@mander.xyz avatar

Fair enough. F76 was a shit show. But I have high hopes both because Starfield is a single player game and because a multiplayer Fallout was always a terrible idea anyway

Venomnik0,

Bethesda Quality

    Yes but they had an incentive to stay with it. It’s actively profitable. Whereas with star field not so much

    I’m just concerned and will wait for reviews before buying (like everyone should). Bethesda has a reputation for being slow to fix games and having lots of bugs and crashes at release. And even then, they patch them up to being playable and leave the rest for modders to fix.

    What makes you think they stick with their games? They fix bugs for about a year or so after release and move on, just like any other studio. They fix stuff in re-releases but you have to pay for that.

    I was reserving judgement. Just giving reasons to be cautious going into this. Everyone should still be excited, I’m just saying “expect a Bethesda game” so look at their recent games and that’s what you’re getting into probably. With those expectations, you’re less likely to be disappointed

    Well, it will probably be broken.

    Name one Bethesda Studios game that wasn’t broken at launch.

    But fair points otherwise.
