Syldon, do gaming w Digital Foundry - Redfall's 60fps patch works - but this isn't the redemption story we were hoping for

You would have to get rid of the crappy 3rd-party DRM before I would consider it.

SomethingBurger, do gaming w Alan Wake 2 will have free and "significant" DLC

I don’t understand free DLC. Just put the content in an update?

SmoochyPit,

I get it if it can reduce game file sizes, like for post-game content/standalone content

To me, updates and DLC serve different purposes. Updates are for bugfixes, new features, feature enhancements, etc. DLC is new game stuff, like additional characters and levels and so on.

I agree with your interpretation, but I really wish publishers would go back to calling additional levels or story content an "expansion" instead of DLC. It's a lot more clear and differentiates from other types of content like a character costume or a soundtrack.

ranandtoldthat,

But everything is content now. sigh

knokelmaat, do gaming w Inside Nintendo in the 1990s: Star Fox, late nights and making the N64

Gonna read this later, but already thanking you for posting this! Random super interesting gaming deep dives is one of my favorite things to stubble upon in my feeds. So thank you so much!!!

RadioRat, do gaming w Meta Quest 3 review impressions - one of VR gaming's best options
@RadioRat@beehaw.org avatar

It’s worth mentioning that for folks who VR socially, the proliferation of the Meta hardware is a privacy concern regardless of whether one personally uses the device. There’s a fucking reason Meta subsidizes the damn things.

Fizz, do games w RuneScape ends Hero Pass following pay-to-win criticisms
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

The worst thing about jagex is their management. They are so out of touch and only see runescape as something to squeeze money from. They should be happy they have generated as much revenue as they have from such an old game. Last I checked it was pulling in hundreds of millions in profit.

mindbleach,

From a game that looks like the Atari Jaguar got a modem.

Oh right, and the other one, which looks like the most anticipated MMO of 2009.

ArugulaZ, do gaming w Unity CEO John Riccitiello 'retiring' from company weeks after pricing controversy
@ArugulaZ@kbin.social avatar

He should start a game company with Don Mattrick and the ghost of Bernie Stolar. Then everyone will know which games NOT to buy, just like back in the days of Acclaim.

Don't forget Phil Harrison.

Get Peter Molyneux on board and the lineup would be perfect.

Kit, do games w Microsoft expected to finally buy Activision Blizzard next week

Will we finally see WoW on consoles?

Pxtl, do games w Cancelled loot shooter Hyenas allegedly "Sega's biggest budget game ever", new report claims
@Pxtl@lemmy.ca avatar

I don’t get it. The game looked completely unremarkable. Even its big hook of having some microgravity stuff was barely present in the trailers. This was their big play? Really?

a “total lack of direction” around the game, with one contributor stating many members of the leadership team were “asleep at the wheel but they never seemed to lose their jobs”. The same source noted an engine change and “not committing to doing anything adventurous with the game” were all part of Hyenas’ ultimate demise.

Yeah, we can tell.

funkless_eck,

and gravity was done in a bunch of games - notably Borderlands Presequel but it was present in the original Quake.

Pxtl,
@Pxtl@lemmy.ca avatar

Well yeah, but there’s lots of ways to make that more interesting than just “set gravity really low in this zone”.

simple, do games w Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis heading to Steam

I know they won’t, but I really hope they strip out the mictrotransaction garbage for the Steam version. I would totally play an actual remake of the game.

XLRV, do gaming w Dev cancels Switch port of Wipeout-style racer blaming controversial Unity fees
@XLRV@lemmy.ml avatar

BallisticNG is such a good game, sad that the Switch players won’t be able to play this.

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

Thanks. I never wanted to sleep again in my own home anyway.

chloyster, do gaming w Star Wars: Jedi 3 is on the way, according to Cal Kestis actor Cameron Monaghan

Second game definitely had way too many issues to be released when it did. And it’s still not in a good state on PC. But I had a good time with it, and thought it was a big step up from the first game in every way except performance. Hoping the 3rd game doesn’t have the same issues

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

It’s because in Sapkowski’s universe witchers are mutants and normal people hate them for being different (and because they are scared too). Basically racism.

vettnerk, (edited ) do games w Bluey's getting a four-player video game adaptation in November

I hope that, just like the series, it’s meant for adults, but kids like it too.

DLSchichtl, do games w Need for Speed developer Criterion to focus on Battlefield

"Hmmm, who should we have develop our faltering shooty shooter. I know! The devs that work on racing games. I mean, it’s all the same things, right?
