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

Man Nintendo enshitification is in full swing still. One of the worst since Iwata’s passing. He is probably spinning in his grave

nevemsenki, do games w Crysis 4 put "on hold" as developer Crytek is next studio hit by layoffs

After the absolute trainwrecks of Crysis2 and 3, I’m not sure of this is a blessing or a curse.

Crysis 3 wasn’t a trainwreck. It wasn’t as good as Crysis 1, but few games are.

robdor,

I was so disappointed with crysis 2 I haven’t bothered with the series. The 1st was amazing and set up a great story.

Just call Crysis 4 cancelled because you want to focus on the GaaS money from Hunt Showdown

Whorehoarder, do games w Elden Ring Nightreign releases May 30th

Hello. I live under rock. What is Nightreign?

donuts,

Try opening the article!

The FromSoftware spin-off to its incredibly successful epic will be out on 30th May 2025 across PS4, PS5, Xbox consoles, and PC (Steam).

First revealed at last year’s The Game Awards, Nightreign is a standalone online co-op game for three players, but with hints of Fortnite.

simple,

A $40 co-op focused spinoff. From what we understand the game loop will be jumping into a randomly generated world with friends and surviving with friends for 3 days. There’s a playtest soon, we’ll see how it actually plays then.

ShepherdPie,

3 days of surviving against Elden Ring enemies or what? Sounds like a weird departure from SoulsBorne games.

The whole description of the game when they announced it made it sound like a mod. I was shocked to see it’s an official Fromsoft game. I do not have high hopes for it.

dogslayeggs,

My understanding from a video I watched is it’s a mix of shrinking world survival like PUBG and co-op Elden Ring with a boss at the end of each day when a shrinking happens.

A cash grab from a corporation that doesn’t want to pay artists to make an original game.

Stovetop,

I’d say you’d have a point if FromSoft didn’t just publish two major games within a year of each other (Elden Ring, Armored Core) and then a game-sized DLC on top of that.

Could Nightreign have just been another Elden Ring DLC instead? I don’t know, maybe. But it’s not priced as a full game and I’m not sure why people expect it to be one.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

It’s an original game. Many assets are not original. Many others will be. This is a very normal part of game development. As much as “asset flips” were an issue back when the Steam floodgates opened, people seem to have really misunderstood what the problem actually was.

I guess even they can’t run Crysis on full.

Coldcell,

Goddamn it take an upvote.

BJHanssen, do games w Football Manager 25 cancelled, as Sega shifts focus to FM26
@BJHanssen@lemmy.world avatar

SI just isn’t, or at least hasn’t been, set up to do this kind of step-change development. It’s been streamlined essentially since the split from the Championship Manager series to operate on an iterate-on-what-we-have basis with overlapping one-, two-, and three-year dev cycles geared toward developing annual refreshes of essentially the same game.

Everything from the dev cycle through AA, marketing, publishing, and even licensing is based on that fundamental structure. But that’s a model with an expiry date, and the kind of complete refresh they are currently attempting has been sorely needed for years already.

But they should have just announced a hiatus year at the start to get this done. They were never going to be able to do this within their regular annual cycle.

So update names and jerseys and keep on rolling?

I’m not a football/soccer person, but I do feel bad for what happened here. I saw in the article a survey on your favorite management game with a Football Manager title as an option, how are these games if you look at them as management games instead of as sports game?

No plan B for Sports Interactive. Bad news.

This one is really testing my patient gamer ethos…

bigboismith,

I’ve been burned with pre-orders and day-one buys so many times. And now the time I managed to hold of, it had a good and stable release.

ByteOnBikes,

Not me! I got Kingdom Come for either under $5 or free last year.

So I expect to get the sequel at the same price in about six years.

Also the whole Gamersgate backlash that the lead was actively encouraging, and now the dev arguing against the anti-woke crowd… Yeah I’m not in a rush to give them money.

vxx,

Gamergaters praised the game for being anti woke because of the beard of one developer, then they found out theres a gay character.

Haß nothing to do with the game or the people behind it. Its gamer gaters shooting their own foot and now blaming it on them.

I feel like Remakes recently have just been like that. This is looking good, and then there’s the SH2 Remake and from what i heard all the Resident Evil Remakes have been amazing too

It runs so much better than the first KC:D. Good job, Warhorse Studios.

By the by, someone playing the game for an additional 19 hours after giving it a thumbs down on Steam for woke DEI speaks to its quality.

Elevator7009sAlt,

I’m asexual, not aromantic, but thinking about this from an aromantic perspective I completely get wanting more close platonic relationships that don’t turn romantic. That would actually be inclusive, a lot of people try to put romance everywhere, and I get it! It’s fun to do! But aromantic people like to have representation too, and options to be friends but not romantic helps them feel represented.

Too bad this guy’s “checkbox insert” means it’s probably (I might be wrong) an “omg gay people exist in my game, gross” complaint and not a “hey platonic relationships are important too, don’t make every significant relationship romantic” for all the aros (or even non-aromantic people who think friendship is important as well as romance) out there.

TsarVul,
@TsarVul@lemmy.world avatar

Absolutely. Portraying a relationship as less meaningful unless there are romantic underpinnings somewhere is weird. It’s just the “checkbox insert” thing cynically insinuates that they like had a gayness quota to fill. Whatever, my point is that it’s undeniably a good game. Check it out if you’re into medieval Europe stuff. You don’t have to play the first one, although you’d be missing out.

Elevator7009sAlt,

Every time I see a sequel I get curious about the first. KCD1 seems like something I have a 50/50 shot at either loving (roleplay!) or hating (QOL stuff, probably the combat), not sure which side I’ll come out on.

TsarVul,
@TsarVul@lemmy.world avatar

Suffice to say, you have a rough start of it. You’re born into the peasantry. You’re fragile. You can’t fight your way out of a wet cardboard box. I don’t know why this stuck with me in particular, but you’re illiterate. As you progress, life gets easier. Point being, the roleplay necessitates hard as hell combat and lack of QOL stuff.

IDK I’m into swords and horsies. Give it a shot, I’d say.

Broadfern,

I’m like, borderline aro(?) and yeah having the option to proceed down a meaningful friendship path with my favorite characters/have them move in (shoutout to Krobus in SDV) is awesome when provided.

I can also see the “empty tokenism” as in, players deserve more fleshed out queer relationships instead of rainbow stickers being half-heartedly slapped on existing characters but yeah unfortunately the reviewer is probably a pearl clutching “woke DEI other-buzzword bad” type.

PostPeruser,

For sure i get that. I really liked how BG3 handled it in that regard, had very deep connections to characters, whilst keeping it aromantically.

In this case though, do people have the option or is it a quest line you have to follow through in this regard? Haven’t played it yet
