Eggyhead, do games w Hyper Light Breaker has been delayed again
regul, do gaming w ‘Albion can’t be copyrighted’ - Peter Molyneux explains how his new game is set in the same world as Fable [VGC]

When asked if he was sure that Albion couldn’t be copyrighted due to its historical context, he replied: “I don’t know if I’m honest, I don’t really know… I hope so. I mean you would think that the responsible person I should be, I would’ve spent the last six months in lawyers’ offices…”

Bold strategy, Cotton.

Ugh. I kind of wish you would just go gracefully into the background Peter.

So. He is about to be sued by Microsoft I suppose. Very bold of you to admit that it isn’t set in generic Albion but Albion the same universe that Fable uses. Those are two very different statements.

minimalfootprint,

Ugh. I kind of wish you would just go gracefully into the background Peter.

He passed gracefully 2 or 3 “games” ago. The quotation marks, because they were basically abandoned for a new gimmick, without delivering.

ranandtoldthat,

Godus had real promise, I played the early release. Absolutely never delivered on what it promised, implicitly or explicitly, though.

HawlSera,

Brb, making a sequel to Sonic & The Black Knight and officially licensing it.

What? Sega can’t copyright Camelot!

This fucking clown...

Hyper Light Drifter was so unbelievably excellent. I have very high hopes for Breaker. Let them cook.

lol.

He’s absolutely right! He’d be violating a trademark, not copyright.

JackbyDev,

Further, just because a name like that came be “copyrighted” doesn’t mean the rest of the game isn’t lmao.

If I made Nuclear D.C., a post apocalyptic game set it the Fallout universe in Washington D.C. as a followup to Fallout 3, I wouldn’t magically be okay just because it’s set in a “real” place.

Checks Wikipedia…

Albion is an alternative name for Great Britain.

Okay? Why don’t we just change the names of the towns and their locations on the map? Problem fixed!

Edit: Spacing.

That new game (which I can’t remember the name of) looked so bad in the Gamescom opening show. Very gringe.

thingsiplay, do gaming w Digital Eclipse is releasing a Tetris collection called Tetris Forever [VGC]

The iconic original Game Boy version is missing. :-(

theangriestbird,

a crime if true. The article says that it “will include ‘more than 15’ playable games from the series’ history”, and they only list 9 in the article and trailer, so maybe it will be one of the versions not listed?

thingsiplay,

Looks like I was spreading misinformation once again. From their official website: www.digitaleclipse.com/games/tetrisforever there is a screenshot from the GB version: …website-files.com/…/66ccd3a3b7bac97b72db3979_tet…

theangriestbird,

Not to burst your bubble, but that is a screenshot of the “Time Warp” mode from the trailer. Although if they built the GB style into that mode, maybe that is promising for getting the actual GB game in the collection?

DoucheBagMcSwag,

This may be true after all since Nintendo owns the Tetris license and this could be competition for switch online so perhaps they didn’t want to agree to the full GB version

thingsiplay,

But they have the NES / Famicom version of Tetris, which is owned by Nintendo too. Unless they mean the infamous Tengen / Atari version on NES (some say its better, but there were legal trouble because of Nintendo).

FunderPants, do gaming w PS5 Pro announcement plans and console design have been leaked [VGC]

No disk drive is no purchase from me. I even saved up the money to buy one, but I won’t without a disk drive.

theangriestbird,

i mean…you could always buy the add-on disc drive? Assuming that it is still compatible with the Pro, not sure why it wouldn’t be. They get to fleece physical media heads for an extra $80, that’s a win for Sony.

sunzu2,

Ehhh if most people don't care about the disk, then i guess good they don't need to pay for it. Reduce waste

But i bougtht the console for the disk feature and use it as media center.

FunderPants,

I did not know that was a thing and I absolutely would buy one. Thank you.

theangriestbird,

awesome! just double-check that it’s compatible with the new one before dropping the extra $80! Nothing about the Pro is official yet, so we still gotta wait and see.

BorgDrone,

I bet that hardly anyone buys the add on drive and they use that as a reason to completely drop physical media support in the PS6.

DdCno1,

Why wouldn’t they? Something like 93℅ of game sales are digital already. Physical games are almost extinct.

BorgDrone,

Oh I agree they should. Physical game sales are a PITA.

GrindingGears,

Yeah I think we’ve learned by now that if you can’t touch it, you don’t own it. I’m tired of “leasing” software.

Thistlewick,

The kicker is that owning the disk entitles you to a piece of plastic, and not much more at the moment. When servers go down, or day one patches are no longer available, the disk becomes no better than a coaster for many modern games.

GrindingGears,

Yeah that’s a fair point. But you should still be able to play offline. I’m not much of an online gamer anyways.

SomethingBurger, do gaming w PS5 Pro announcement plans and console design have been leaked [VGC]

Why do they insist on making it so ugly?

theangriestbird,

the hardware design team is so far up their own asses with the PS5 design. Here’s two articles where you can read how high they are on their own supply: One, Two

SomethingBurger,

Reading the first link, I can almost see them sniffing their own farts. How much do they get paid for this? I’m thinking of switching careers.

stardust,

Fat PS3 are still the best console design.

I love it, it looks like a fish.

Ah so my waiting was worth it not buying the ps5 when it came out. Hurrah!

queermunist, do gaming w Concord may have sold as few as 25,000 copies, it’s claimed [VGC]
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

I heard Concord was originally designed to have an entirely different art style, but some top-down decision came to make it yet another hyper-realistic shooter. That’s why the character designs are so weird, they’d be more at home in their original retrofuture/art deco stylized world.

DdCno1,

Got an article on this?

As few? Don’t you mean “as many as”?
