HellAwaits, do gaming w Final Fantasy 16 Producer Naoki Yoshida Wishes There Was Only One Console - IGN

Game platforms… I probably shouldn’t say this, but I wish there was only one," Yoshida said, translated by IGN. "It would be better for both the developers and the players.

“and the players” 🤡 🤡

Would it not be? All your friends would be on the same platform, playing together, having the same games and experiences together

Ardon,

Because one company would have a monopoly.

johnthedoe,

I think if he meant one standard like DVD and companies like Sony or Microsoft would make the dvd player. Other companies can join in. We would have choice and competition. And the one game would work the same on any device.

At least that’s my wish.

bob_lemon,

That’s called a PC.

Not even, you still have to consider different components and operating systems, sometimes even what versions of the OS people are running since it’s not always cross compatible.

NuPNuA,

Then who gets the licensing costs for the Dev kits? Who gets the 30% cut of the digital store? Who gets the cut of accessories sold? Each game sold? Who’s responsible for updating the OS?

The console market works how it does because they sell the tech at a loss and make up money on the ongoing sales. The 3DO tried the open source model in the early 90s and ended up with ridiculously pricey consoles as all the manufacturers needed to make their profit upfront. Eventually, there will be no price difference between a console and a PC if equivilent specs.

NuPNuA,

I play games with my mates on PC and PS all the time despite being on Xbox, it’s called crossplay.

Which not every game supports.

Omegamanthethird,

In an ideal world, it would be.

Stop pre-ordering games holy fuck

Codilingus,

I don’t think pre-ordering is mentioned anywhere in that article…

Empricorn, do gaming w GeoGuessr Pulls Out of Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia After Fan and Creator Backlash: 'When You Tell Us We’ve Got It Wrong, We Take It Seriously' - IGN

While I think this is a good thing, now there’s only Dota 2, Valorant, Apex Legends, League of Legends, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Rainbow Six Siege, Rennsport, StarCraft II, Street Fighter 6, Counter Strike 2, Rocket League, Tekken 8, PUBG Battlegrounds, Call of Duty Warzone, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege X, Overwatch 2, PUBG Mobile, Rennsport, Honor of Kings, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, MLBB, Free Fire, EA Sports FC 25, Teamfight Tactics, Crossfire, and Chess with grandmasters left…

JillyB,

It has an outsized impact by bringing awareness to this issue. It also could embolden other communities to take a stand against Saudi sportswashing.

Empricorn,

Agreed. It’s almost certainly a net loss for the game and its awareness.

I’m a fan of good games for low prices. Not your game specifically.

SolidShake, do games w The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Mods Have Already Been Published Online

These aren’t even mods lmao. More than half are like reshade presets. The rest are just soft codes changing a number in a file somewhere.

The rest are just soft codes changing a number in a file somewhere.

So you’re saying modifying a file isn’t a mod? 🤔

iAmTheTot,

Sounds like they modify the game.

SolidShake,

Reshade is not a mod. It’s a Snapchat filter

prettybunnys,

You’re a Snapchat filter

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Because of their username, I image the filter just covers you with a cardboard box. 🤣

SolidShake,

Cardboard cup

_cryptagion,

That’s not what they said tho, is it? That’s what you said. They didn’t mention ReShade at all.

SolidShake,

Posts links to Nexus mod for oblivion mods. More than Half are reshade presets. I state that more than half are reshade presets. You state reshade is nowhere to be found?

_cryptagion,

I honestly can’t tell if you’re being stupid because you don’t want to admit you were wrong, or if you really are an idiot who can’t read.

I feel like it’s the latter.

iAmTheTot, do games w The Sims Competitor inZOI Sells 1 Million in a Week, Krafton Declares It a ‘Long-Term Franchise IP’

I was really excited for this game until I find out they use genAI features.

Virkkunen,
@Virkkunen@fedia.io avatar

You can simply not use any of the AI features. The studio claims the genAI is a model trained solely on material their artists and devs created for this exact purpose and it runs locally, and as far as I know there is nothing in the game that uses genAI other than what the players can generate.

iAmTheTot,

I still don’t feel good supporting it, personally. If everyone else is enjoying it, that’s cool, but I’ve got plenty of other games that don’t dip their toes into areas I’m not personally comfortable with. So for me it’s a non starter.

I do not understand what Sony and Nintendo have against their own fans. I know that Japanese companies generally only give a shit about Japan, but come on guys. The majority of your fans are all over the globe.

TankovayaDiviziya, (edited ) do games w Baldur’s Gate 3 Dev Larian Says Its 'Full Attention' Is on Its Next Game, 'Media Blackout' for the Foreseeable

If the next game is as impeccable as BG3, then this media blackout to create hype is the cleverest marketing move I have ever seen.

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

Every studio does this though. “Media Blackout” is just everything up to the reveal trailer.

AlexanderTheDead,

It barely qualifies as a teaser, but I concede that.

@MimicJar@lemmy.world avatar

I always knew Sakurai worked hard to deliver high quality games, but after watching this video, it’s insane.

Creating a whole YouTube channel with 260 videos just because he had a few free months. Doing the majority (pre editing) in just a few months, scripting and recording nearly ever video in advance.

Absolutely wild.
