Hazmatastic, do games w Capcom says it’s working on ‘re-activating other dormant IPs’ like Onimusha and Okami

Viewtiful Joe is definitely one that should get the treatment

MegaMan L E G E N D S

God fuckin damnit!

simple,

I would just take anything Megaman at this point. The series has been dormant for ages.

HeyJoe,

At least you got Mighty #9 plus mega man 11 in the last 10 years.

“Reactivating dormant IP” aka “Milking old franchises”, because it’s cheaper and safer than coming up with innovative stuff.

Kunitsu-Gami was this year. Like it or not, Exoprimal was last year. And Capcom’s got a ton of IP that would work really well in the modern era and/or deserve compatibility with modern x64 hardware. I’d personally love to see Viewtiful Joe and Darkstalkers come back.

rockerface,

Innovation for the sake of innovation isn’t it either, chief. You gotta strike a balance between new and familiar.

Don’t mind me, I’ll be sitting here waiting patiently for my Destiny of an Emperor remake.

Weren’t there trailers for both during the Game Awards? Seems a pretty big confirmation:

Don_alForno, do games w Tencent reportedly wants a greater say over Ubisoft as investment discussions continue

So … what … Ubisoft isn’t greedy and predatory enough for them?

darthsid, do games w The Witcher 4 has entered full-scale production, CD Projekt has confirmed

Great - what am I supposed to do with this? Hope it’s not as shit as the rest of the UE5 games or Cyberpunk? Hope my hardware can run it? Have they learnt nothing from Cyberpunk? Like STFU and maybe show people things when it’s ready?

Nothing. Not every information needs to be actionable by its receivers. Do not get hyped up but know there will be a next installment and wait till they show something.

darthsid,

Yeah - and us consumers don’t need every fucking milestone painted out either. We didn’t back this. Show it to us when it’s time or get the fuck out of my feed. But watch how they’ll go down the cyberpunk route and build hype over 7 years again to deliver a broken piece of shit on launch. Why? Because they made so much money last time doing it.

simple,

I have never seen someone so upset that there’s gaming news in the gaming community

NiPfi,

I do understand the reaction somewhat though… It’s these kinds of news that gets people hyped for a game and leads to the sort of pressure that might make a launch fail as it did with Cyberpunk

vaquedoso,

Announcing a game is not over-hyping. If you can’t control yourself that a simple announcement that a game is in production makes you have a meltdown, then probably they shouldn’t be browsing the gaming community, where this kind of news is expected

darthsid,

Help me solve my dilemma - I do want to hear about new exciting releases/reviews of upcoming games but I also don’t want news of announced games which are 5+ years away. And especially don’t want to hear about every little morsel of info they throw your way in the 5 year build up only to launch disastrously and then keep us in the news cycle for another 2-3 years where they advertise how they are fixing their game only to turn around and ask for more money to sell you an expansion. How do I just focus on the good ones?

Cyberpunk runs on the RedEngine. This game will be the first for CD Project Red to run Unreal engine.

I agree however that Unreal engine might be a bad choice. We’ll have to see. They change engine because of money as developing an engine is far more expensive than using Unreal Engine.

pivot_root, (edited )

If I recall correctly, the “next gen update” for The Witcher 3 was UE5.

I did not recall correctly.

Ab_intra,
@Ab_intra@lemmy.world avatar

That makes no sense 🤣 if they had done that then it would mean they would have to develop the game all over again in UE5. UE5 and redENGINE are two different engines and there is no “upgrading” from one engine to the other without making the game all over again in the different engine.

FelixCress,

Or you can moan a little bit more.

mox, (edited ) do games w Tencent reportedly wants a greater say over Ubisoft as investment discussions continue

This is not surprising, but it’s nevertheless interesting, because it seems to disprove a naïve assumption that I’ve seen repeated over the years: that Tencent doesn’t influence the game companies it invests in.

Well colour me shocked lmao

FarceOfWill, do gaming w Ex-PlayStation boss says games should be shorter because development costs are ‘not sustainable’ [VGC]

The playing time isn’t sustainable either

DebatableRaccoon, do gaming w Ex-PlayStation boss says games should be shorter because development costs are ‘not sustainable’ [VGC]

Where’s my shocked Pikachu face? Now just for these people to learn infinite growth also isn’t sustainable and we might finally be getting somewhere.

theangriestbird,

Shawn Layden, the titular “Ex-Playstation boss”, is currently strategic advisor for Tencent. Would we say that Tencent is currently adhering to this strategic advice?

DebatableRaccoon,

It feels like the correct answer would be “no” but I honestly don’t know enough about Tencent to weigh in.

theangriestbird,

the hard part is that they are partial investors in so many things. I believe they own the PUBG studio, which is the same studio that published Callisto Protocol, and that game had one of the largest budgets of all time. That’s the most obvious link I could find, but also that game came out a couple years ago so who knows, maybe they are steering the ship away from big budgets as we speak.

Sadge💀

hitmyspot, do gaming w Ex-PlayStation boss says games should be shorter because development costs are ‘not sustainable’ [VGC]

Most games that are long are artificially so, with padded out content and grinding to advance. Short excellent games sell well. Huge expensive messes don’t.

Just like movies, large blockbuster, high budget content can sell well but does risk sacrificing its soul and purpose. Occasionally one is both excellent technically, artistically and fun too.

Or you can have smaller games with a more specific purpose which won’t sell as well. Some low budget games are bad. Some high budget games are bad. Neither is a mark of quality, they are just different ways of making games with different outcomes and purposes.

Games need to turn a profit to be visible, so they should be looking at what’s the optimum way to spend their budget and make sales.

As gamers, we should be rewarding good games, and avoiding microtransactions and all the upsells. I don’t buy any cosmetics or additional content (unless it’s a continuation of the game that makes sense as another chapter). I want to avoid that side of gaming as it doesn’t lead to good games. I pay full price at launch for my favourite game series, but not extra content. Other games I purchase later on sale.
