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

I don’t think people are playing Kirby games expecting Dolby surround sound anyway, so this seems like it’d be a pretty easy decision.

Of course he would. Screw Ubisoft.

bane_killgrind,

Quadruple A is the coke talking

Clown_Tempura, 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 feel like I’m in the minority when I’m looking forward to Nintendo making a high-powered console for once. The last time their hardware was on par with or better than the rest of the industry was the Gamecube, which was an amazing little system.

dudewitbow,

I dont think itll be high powered, thats just the reporter adding something for clickbait.

Im one to believe in Bobby Kottick mentioning that the Switch 2 is roughly the power of a PS4 as he was in contempt of the court when his leak of its performance was discussed. the handheld likely has better cpu performance though vs ps4, as its basically in the same playing field as the steam deck is, both companies who can sit and make thir 30% cut from developer games.

Tldr, dont expect Series S perf, expect steam deck performance with better battery and DLSS support to 4k (i personally believe itll target 1080p60, and use DLSS Performamce preset to upscale to 4k, as 1440p tvs arent common)

Clown_Tempura,

Honestly a handheld PS4 equivalent of the Steam Deck sounds nice too.

darn,
@darn@lemmy.world avatar

even then, the gamecube had mini discs instead of full sized ones, so games couldn’t be as big

the n64 was behind in a similar way, using cartridges when cds were starting to become the norm

Psythik, (edited )

You’re not. I’ve been wanting this since the GameCube, the last Nintendo system that was built with performance in mind and advertised as such. The Wii was a step in the wrong direction, and it was all downhill from there as far as my head canon is concerned. I’m glad that Nintendo is finally catering to fans like us again after waiting patiently for 22 years.

Notorious_handholder, do gaming w Tencent is bringing back military FPS series Delta Force

Yoooo I loved the Delta force games as a kid. Shame it’s Tencent bringing it back :(

The multiplayer version on the Black Hawk Down engine was so sick. Better than Battlefield, and sold at Walmart for like $10

Snowclone, do games w Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit

I need to start patenting random game mechanics, apparently.

gradual,

Might be cool to have AI come up with a bunch of mechanics to patent.

Who in the great merciful shit wants to play RE2 on ios?

Tablet as a display and a controller sounds like a workable solution.

I’d want to play it for sure. Not in a legitimate capacity, but I love seeing janky ports of things on places they don’t belong. They’re so much fun to experience for me.

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.

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

Oh good, I was worried it would be AAAA.

Steamymoomilk,

Quad A is to good

It’s too bad. Uni have is a sweet treat of AAAA having. We can’t go back now

approxamatrix,

Yeah, it better be AAAAA

AceTKen, do games w Hogwarts Legacy has officially cleared Zelda as 2023's best-selling game worldwide
@AceTKen@lemmy.ca avatar

Never got into Harry Potter since I was too old. This game was really fun to just explore and I constantly felt a forward momentum. Some of the stories were good, and some were awful.

I would absolutely play a sequel just based on the well done sense of discovery alone. I just wish more of what you found was impactful instead of cosmetic.

Silentiea,

On the one hand, I agree about wishing there was more to find than a new color cloak, but on the other hand I think it’s a neat way to keep the game approachable to more casual gamers (and to try and get as many Harry Potter fans to get it as possible). That being said, I would have liked if there were more challenge, and something other than just flat stat improvements could have been a way to keep that interesting if they had higher difficulties.

AceTKen,
@AceTKen@lemmy.ca avatar

I get it, but it doesn’t have to be just pure stats. Could have been mild ability improvements or something or maybe changed some of the effects or visual things that occurred around you. Hell, even walking speed improvement or something like a tone to help you locate hidden items.

There’s a lot they could have done considering we’re dealing with magical items! Still had a pretty good time with it overall though.

Carighan, do games w Square Enix’s president says it will be ‘aggressive in applying’ AI
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

I wish they’d aggressively apply it to replacing middle-top management. The jobs that don’t add anything except a lot of money being siphoned off, anyways.

Quetzalcutlass,

I welcome our robot middle-lords.

JagFel, do games w Max Payne voice actor James McCaffrey has passed away

This hits hard, the Max Payne 1 was my introduction to Film Noir storytelling and I can still remember how I felt when I finished it in that first play thru.

Keep on driving into the night Mr. McCaffery, it’s a late good bye, such a late a good bye.

blunderworld, do gaming w Ubisoft says Prince of Persia Remake has ‘passed an important milestone’

Sounds like Ubisoft finally figured out how to include micro transactions
