LaunchesKayaks, do games w Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo

Oh fuck I forgot about Kirby Air Ride. That game was amazing. My mom and I would get insanely competitive over it.

Tarogar, do gaming w Opinion: Phil Spencer, long cast as Xbox’s saviour, may be remembered as the man who killed it

I don’t own either current gen consoles. But I do have a rather up to date PC. I don’t have any current gen consoles when I owned some before (360, PS4) because I don’t like how they handle those consoles. I don’t run windows anymore because I disagree that MY PC that I built is somehow Microsoft’s property if I use their software. I used to be a Halo fan but ever since Halo 4 the series has been rather… Mediocre and I just don’t have time for sub par experiences. In fact I have not touched any AAA titles in so long because they have all been overly save and boring.

I don’t hate every big company making games,in fact I miss the old Ubisoft from the early 2000s or valve or blizzard (save of a few things) or…

Either way, the market isn’t infinite and at some point keeping the existing player base is probably a good idea. So is not pissing of customers with practices that are predatory. Ultimately wild uncontrolled growth is also known as cancer.

Do yourself a favor and never get curious about halo 5.

Gears on the other hand has still been rocking along and staying interesting IMO.

GiddyGap, do games w EU says it’s investigating why Apple terminated Epic’s developer account

On behalf of the world, I really appreciate the EU.

Psychodelic, do games w The upcoming Crazy Taxi reboot is a triple-A game, according to Sega

Fuckin hype!

Sorry, do I have to be an insufferable, cynical pessimist to comment here?

inclementimmigrant,

No you can be a delusional, corporate happy pill taking person that loves live service games and the enshitification of the gaming sphere drowning in microtransactions driven by psychologists designed specifically to prey on addiction to comment.

it’s the beauty of the 1st amendment.

I feel the need to be pedantic here: the first amendment has nothing to do with speech on private platforms.

moon, do games w Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered has a warning about racial and ethnic stereotypes

Much better then censoring the original content. Should also give a warning for dangerously sharp tiddies!

lud,

Doesn’t the remaster smooth out the breasts? Looks like it.

You can toggle it like Halo Anniversary.

NigelFrobisher, do gaming w Phil Spencer has reportedly reassured employees Microsoft ‘won’t stop making Xbox consoles’

They’ve still got to make the Xbox X Series One 360.

shiveyarbles,

I heard they’re doing a 180 on the 360

Arthur_Leywin, do games w Ubisoft CEO defends Skull and Bones’ $70 price despite its live service leanings, calls it ‘quadruple-A’

Dang that’s crazy. Anyway opens up Monster Hunter World

dangblingus,

Ubisoft can’t even fathom how Capcom manages to put out unique quality games consistently. Completely different universe of game design philosophy.

Defaced,

And yet Capcom is currently fucking over said unique quality games by adding shit drm to those games that are several years old.

dinckelman, do games w Ubisoft CEO defends Skull and Bones’ $70 price despite its live service leanings, calls it ‘quadruple-A’

Just because the Ubisoft CEO comes up with new flashy words to describe something, it still won’t make up for the fact that this is an awful, unpolished, and unfinished game, just like pretty much anything else Ubisoft released in the last decade, as a first-party developer

Vespair, do games w Hogwarts Legacy has officially cleared Zelda as 2023's best-selling game worldwide

Embarrassing.

RealFknNito, do games w Rocksteady pulls Suicide Squad an hour into early access after players’ games ‘auto completed’
@RealFknNito@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve heard of day 0 bugs but jesus guys, come on. Expectations were already low.

Sterile_Technique, do games w Sony claims it delisted the KoTOR remake trailer ‘due to music license expiring’
@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

Here’s hoping the project isn’t scrapped, but I’m not convinced they’d scrub all mention of it over a music license.

tuckerm, do games w Remedy says its Max Payne remakes are ‘a big, big project’

But that screenshot proves that no remake is necessary. Does that not look perfect already? Literally pictures of real people slapped onto 3D models. Photo realism, done. Perfected. No one else, besides the classic Mortal Kombat games, has had the courage to make a game out of straight up photographs of real people. Max Payne had the best graphics. The MOST graphics. THE PHOTO GRAPHICS.

Hazdaz, do nintendo w Nintendo reportedly showed a demo of the ‘Switch 2’ console at Gamescom which included visuals comparable to the PS5 and Xbox Series X.

I don’t doubt it… Nintendo is always years behind.

The PS5 came out in 2020 and this Switch2 is probably a year away. So that would make their hardware be roughly 4 years old in terms of power. Plus if this is roughly the size of the current Switch, it won’t be pushing more than HD-resolutions (current Switch is only a 720 display), so getting PS5-level graphics on a 1080 screen these days is not particularly complicated or expensive.

Vathsade,

Current switch does 1080 docked already , so while I hope it’ll have at least 4k menus and 4k light games, I’d settled for 1080 again with some sorta more advanced AA for first party games

Hazdaz,

it’s screen is 720. I would not expect Nintendo to go above 1080 on the screen and maybe output a scaled-up 4K when docked.

Psyduck_world,

God of war 2016 PS 4 original setting at 720p on steam deck is about 30 fps. On ROG Ally afew frames less if you run it at 15 watts, at 45 watts Ally can probably do 720p at 50ish fps but less than an hour of battery. Ally is the top of line 2023 AMD tech apu and cost $700. Mobile technology is amazing right now, but it’s just not at a level where it can do 3 years old desktop graphics at a reasonable cost/power consumption.

qooqie, do games w Dragon Age Dreadwolf keeps getting delayed internally, report claims | VGC

Hasn’t BioWare been having a shit ton of problems these past few years? Hope they’re able to clean up and get back to making some great games.

Stovetop,

What EA sees:

Hasn’t BioWare been having a shit ton of problems these past few years? Hope we can make some good money after we fire everyone and close the studio.

@lorty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I mean, most of the people that made those great games don’t work there anymore.

vertelleus, do gaming w Todd Howard wants Elder Scrolls 6 to be ‘the ultimate fantasy-world simulator’
