domi, do games w Iron Galaxy lays off 66 developers in 'last resort' lifesaving effort
@domi@lemmy.secnd.me avatar

I’m sure this is going to end great for the Last of Us 2 PC port. The port of the first game was already a disaster and they had all their people.

SkunkWorkz,

Isn’t Nixxes also working on it?

I’m not sure, I only checked which projects Iron Galaxy is working on and noticed they are doing Last of Us again.

SkunkWorkz,

Apparently Nixxes is also working on it blog.playstation.com/…/the-last-of-us-part-ii-rem…

Hopefully the technical work is all relegated to Nixxes.

ms_lane,

Don’t forget their spectacular Arkham Knight port that was so good, it was delisted from Steam and Rocksteady had to come back and start the port over.

I’m not sure they’re worth saving.

Queen_HawlSera, do gaming w Why Animal Well's home-brewed engine was key to its success
@Queen_HawlSera@mastodon.social avatar

@ConstableJelly I need to play more Animal Well

ConstableJelly,

I only beat Animal Well’s “first layer”, but I was pretty addicted for that period. It’s really, really clever and satisfying.

I hope they’ll eventually release an official VR version. I don’t usually clamor for VR but this game seems so perfect for it.

Suburbanl3g3nd, do games w Thunderful says SteamWorld Build underperformed, reveals it's looking to sell Headup

I’ll buy when it’s cheaper. They priced it too high

KingThrillgore, do games w Starbreeze admits Payday 3 is massively underperforming
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

The live service bubble is bursting.

GlitterInfection,

God I hope!

Phegan,

I hope the take away from this is that no matter if a game is live service or not it needs to run, not nickel dime players, and be good. Or it will bust.

Katana314,

If they wanted to focus on live service, I’m surprised they made a trilogy of games. In the meantime a bunch of other devs just kept adding content to the one game their players play.

Not good for Payday’s fans to compete within their trilogy for attention.

eskimofry, do games w Replacing the term "Metroidvania"

Why the downvotes?

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

Gives off “Umm, actually” vibes. Metroidvania is a useful term.

eskimofry,

I kind of liked their take. The arkham games example was convincing.

Even if people don’t agree, I feel It’s just their opinion and downvoting is a bit harsh.

Eh IDK if it’s just my mood… but i am feeling generous.

morphballganon,

Moronic ideas deserve them. What do you think downvotes are for?

eskimofry,

For toxic ideas? Good ideas can’t come about if you punish the “moronic” ideas too harshly.

Send_me_nude_girls, do games w The Steam Deck OLED feels like a radiant new dawn for portable play
@Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de avatar

I’ll get a steam deck as soon as I can detache the controller and put it on my TV like the Switch. While the Deck is probably amazing, it’s what I need to get one, additional to the gaming PC. I always feel chained in, when my controller is made from one part only.

@ricdeh@lemmy.world avatar

Downvoted for the cringe af name

smeg,

You can plug it into any USB hub to play it on the TV and connect any controller to play from the sofa. They even sell a dock!

Send_me_nude_girls,
@Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de avatar

Oh I didn’t know about that USB hub. Sounds good.

smeg,

Yep, it’s a full PC, you can plug in pretty much anything that works with Linux

smort,
@smort@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I have a usb dock with HDMI plugged into my TV, and an old Xbox One controller paired to the Deck. Basically works the same as a docked Switch

RDAM_Whiskers,

If you can find them the old steam links still work well.

FangedWyvern42,
@FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world avatar

It has a dock available.

Aielman15, do games w League of Geeks pauses Jumplight Odyssey development after layoffs
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

I’m sorry for them, but I promised myself not to buy anything from LoG after the shitshow that was Armello.

They promised an update to bring cross-play to the game, went silent for years, and when it finally arrived, it broke the game to the point that it was more frustrating than fun to play. I waited for a fix for months, and it never arrived. I’m not sure they ever fixed it (to my knowledge, they haven’t), but even if they did, the fact that they took a game I rightfully bought (the premium edition no less, because I really liked it), broke it to the point of becoming unplayable, and left it in that state for months, is inexcusable.

BluePhoenix01,

Oh wow. I remember being so excited for how Armello was going, and then wondering “what happened with this?”.

I never looked too much into it, but I think your comments really describe some of the issues with its development.

Rhynoplaz, do games w Turning Bugs Into Features

From what I understand this is also how the Spy in TF2 came to be.

JohnWorks, do games w Report: Embracer to shut down Free Radical Design by Christmas

Hate to see that. Recently played through time splitters future perfect with my friend and had a great time on the Xbox backwards compatibility. Hopefully the time splitters rewind project makes good progress and releases at some point.

Sucks that it’s delayed, but at least they are giving us a pretty comprehensive list of what we can expect

I never played and I don’t see myself playing now as I probably missed a lot of storyline and lore that is long gone.
