DrCake, do games w $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"

Well guess I ain’t a massive fan then. Shame

I’m OK with not being a “real fan”.

mriswith, do games w Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy

Wait, it doesn’t appear to be the same within the EU.

Both the French and German EULA seems to say that if you alter a digital product, the digital product might be rendered unusable. Although my French and German is bad, so someone please double check.

fluffykittycat, do gaming w GTA 6's delay doesn't mean the games industry's in trouble - it's already dead

Also people are poor and $80 is a big ask post inflation

Console_Modder, do games w The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer
@Console_Modder@sh.itjust.works avatar

That’s so fucking weird to drop a remaster or remake like that so suddenly with no advertising or announcement. Something about this still doesn’t feel right in my gut, so I guess I’ll believe it when (if) it does drop. I don’t even know if I am going to buy it if it’s real, I have more faith in the modders behind Skyblivion than I do in Bethesda to actually do right with their IPs

simple,

What’s weird is that they’re still keeping it a secret even though it’s been rumored for months. We know it’s coming, but they’re still acting like it’s going to be a surprise.

Video game marketing changed dramatically about 2 years ago. No one likes long marketing cycles anymore. There are too many opportunities for delays or “puddlegates”.

Stovetop,

Microsoft likes doing shadowdrops, apparently. Hi-Fi Rush being the most prominent, but they also shadowdropped the Ninja Gaiden 2 remake a few months ago.

TachyonTele,

Bethesda used to have a very short time between announcements and release. This game isn’t made by them, but they probably made the devs keep a tight lid on it.

i think its a panic project that was fired up quickly because Starfield failed so miserably.

unless this was just a side project that a few devs were working on and it was latched on to as a product that could be focused on.

i suspect that while todd was failing to put out fires, a couple devs were like “should we tell them we’ve been messing around with Oblivion assets in our new engine?”

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

No, they contracted this game out to another developer, and it’s in Unreal. It’s been in the works for a long time. If they’re smart, it’s a testbed for getting future games off of their usual Creation engine.

ooooooh! I’m very happy to have been corrected. it might actually be decent, then!

thank you much for the info. that’s interesting.

femtech,

343 is doing the same with halo.

I hope they made it impossible to mod. In my new but rapidly growing religion, “modding” (desacrating) games is a mortal sin. Elder Scrolls games have damned the souls of many hairy, soft-bodied men.

OneRedFox, do gaming w Pokémon games have become consistently ugly, and it's alright to wish they weren't
@OneRedFox@beehaw.org avatar

It’s also ok to wish that they run at a consistently smooth framerate. It’s one thing to look like crap and it’s another to both look like crap and run like it too. I’ve been playing Palworld on medium for the past couple of weeks and it was pretty jarring going from that to seeing the Legends Z-A footage.

Ghoelian, do games w Nintendo loses trademark fight against Super Mario supermarket

There was this coffee corner near us when we went on holiday to Greece, called the Super Mario Coffee Kiosk.

I’m still surprised Nintendo hasn’t tried to sue them yet, they even ripped off the logo and Mario himself.

ayyy,

“Mario Bross” lmao

ipkpjersi,

Especially since they have a trademark for Super Mario when it comes to coffee lol

BlackLaZoR, do games w Ubisoft announces studio closure as it lays off 185 staff
@BlackLaZoR@fedia.io avatar

In Skull and Bones they couldn't even replicate the experience from their own previous IP, and then advertised is as AAAA game. It's a disgrace - they deserve to burn.

When that game came out I bought AC4 for $5 instead. Had a fun time and the graphics still look modern anyway

bread, do gaming w Corinne Busche, director of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, departs BioWare
@bread@feddit.nl avatar

Bioware has been circling the drain for years, and it’s clear the people who made it special have long since left. If I worked there, I would have already been looking for employment elsewhere because this isn’t going to last.

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.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

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

fracture,

big shoutout HOTS… i should tap back in… FUCK deadlock (note: this user has not played deadlock)
