miniu, do gaming w 5 years after shutting down, MOBA hero shooter Gigantic is coming back

Cool idea to revive failed live services as non-bullshit single-pay games. So much work wasted otherwise. Could lead to some fine games :)

There was a device in the 90s that claimed to let you do this, LGR did a video on it (it didn’t work shockingly)

Davel23,

Atari tried to do this in the '80s, but it never went anywhere.

I had that thing. It did “work;” just not how you’d expect and not very well. Kinda like a PowerGlove. Games that didn’t require much movement were playable; but I got it because I figured I should be able to aim way faster in Counter-Strike with my mind than with my hands on a mouse.

TwilightVulpine, do gaming w Palworld’s success is partially born from Pokémon fans’ discontent

This take reminds me of how disappointed I was when I got Pokémon Violet, excited to see what pokémon would be like in open world, and then I realized there was nothing to do in between towns and bosses. Overall, it felt less interesting than older games where you needed to solve puzzles and mazes to progress. It's not even like there is much of an incentive to do things in your own order because every challenge has fixed levels. You could play multiplayer but there was nothing to do in multiplayer but to roam around. Due to the short draw distance and low frame rates it wasn't even like admiring the creatures roaming around felt so impressive.

The real time catching mechanics in Arceus were pretty fun, I liked the stealth elements, but without them SV felt like it was only going through the motions of having an open world, without understanding how to make use of it.

50gp,

arceus (and SV) wouldbe been way better if they learned to design compelling points of interest in their open world and not do amateur work that looks like auto generated landscape

Kbin_space_program,

The best thing to do in pokemon violet is to make the jump over the cliffs when you're level 15 and can face level 30 pokemon on top of the cliffs in the first zone.

butiloveu, do gaming w Capcom adds new DRM to old PC games, raising worries over mods

Oh no. How dares somebody to enhance his single player experience with mods. Let’s forbid them to modify a SP game they bought, this can’t backfire, right?

Grass, (edited ) do gaming w Nvidia’s AI-powered NPCs are getting better, but still sound uncanny

I haven’t read the article but this headline gave me an idea. In future tech/cyberpunk settings, humans and cyborgs should be animated convincingly like real life humans, perhaps with slight differences to accentuate the cybernetics. Robots should be as they are in real life too. Androids should be varying degrees of Bethesda npc. The variations would be based on the in game lore or the manufacturer. So high end stuff would be more like real humans, but the Bethesda like companies can only put out Bethesda like products with spooky uncanny valley bug eyed stare through your skull faces and body doing whatever in a different direction.

After watching it, basically this. Save this specific version for later and when it improves use the new and the old together and there are your androids. Combine with traditional voice and animation for the humans. Realism out of fake looking shit.

Awesome, I didn’t know they had a kickstarter going. No such thing as bad press I guess.

B0NK3RS, do games w PS5 update introduces Power Saver option with a trade-off | Polygon
@B0NK3RS@lemmy.world avatar

This kind of update is always welcome. Probably 80% of my console time is spent on backwards compatible games anyway.

SheeEttin, do games w PS5 update introduces Power Saver option with a trade-off | Polygon

How many watts does this actually save?

sundray,

Not specified. Still in testing, so final numbers probably aren’t available.

PieMePlenty,

It’s gonna depend on the game. It reads like it’s a system setting that games can read and adjust their resource demand. Like a game boots up and checks if power saving is turned on and if it is, renders at a lower resolution or something like that. The system software will probably do that as well.
