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

I’d like to imagine this is analogous to autocomplete on a keyboard, like if I mash “A” a few times to get to the title screen and game’s like “Did you mean A A A A A Start Start Down Start A A B Right Right…”

Blogspam. This is a boilerplate answer to the question.

shapesandstuff, do gaming w Cancelled Hyenas was ‘Sega’s biggest budget game ever’, it’s claimed | VGC

I tried an early playtest of it and it felt like a mobile port of some free to play pubg copy.

To be fair that’s what actually early playtest are for.

“Beta” and “early access” are so abused these day.

shapesandstuff,

Yeah but i dont think anything changed about my complaints as far as i could see

averyminya,

The game shut down after the play test. There was nothing they had the opportunity to change.

If you’re talking about systemic issues with the games design, that I will agree with. From my understanding it’s a 5 team of three PvP/E heisting game in space.

That means that there’s zero gravity sections, maps large enough to have heists, and, again, 5 teams of 3. It’s not so much that the game itself has any specific issue, the issue the game has was sheerly its scope and ambition. It seems like it could have had a lot of potential if it just weren’t so many systems being combined.

shapesandstuff,

The tests went on for quite a long time is what i mean, i kept getting emails even after i stopped.

Idk about the scope being so crazy, there are similar games executing such concepts well. It was simply the execution of the systems and overall game and level design. That and the terrible technical issues that really held back whatever they had managed this far.

InEnduringGrowStrong, do games w Embracer says its ‘crazy’ outlay on platform fees exceeds its spend on game development
@InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works avatar

Round about way to say they spend less than 30% on development. Gotta pay big money to the team inventing the latest mtx addiction bs.

sugar_in_your_tea,

So 30-40% profit? That sounds like a lot.

Considering Microsoft forcing a year QA on them with the full MS QA team… yea I imagine the partnership and exclusivity did indeed yield a much less buggy and thus better product.

dan1101, (edited ) do games w Ubisoft makes further appointment for future of Far Cry IP | VGC

Ubisoft is currently developing Far Cry 7 and a standalone Far Cry multiplayer game.

It’s claimed that Far Cry 7 is being made with Ubisoft’s Snowdrop engine, rather than the Dunia engine used for recent series entries. The multiplayer game is currently an extraction-based shooter set in the Alaskan wilderness, it’s claimed.

Oh crap. That’s not good. I know Far Cry 6 wasn’t great, but making FC7 multiplayer and an extraction shooter isn’t the answer. What’s next, Forza the card game?

ETA: Ubisoft is making Far Cry 7 AND a standalone Far Cry multiplayer game. I misread “as” instead of “and.”

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

I couldn’t care less about a Far Cry multi-player game. But I still enjoy the series enough to be mildly excited for another single player game.

It’s sort of like Assassin’s Creed. Not groundbreaking, but mildly engaging enough to keep me entertained.

dan1101,

Yeah I guess as long as the extraction game is in addition to the single player game, that’s great, those that want to play it can.

I like the Far Cry series as well. I recently finished Days Gone, which reminded me a lot of Far Cry 5 with a better story, and zombies.

antaymonkey,

Wtf is an extraction game?

trailqul,

Tarkov, dark and darker, and the like

antaymonkey,

Never heard of that. What does the gameplay consist of?

trailqul,

Oh those are pretty big games haha, the recent dark and darker release has people playing it all over twitch.

Basically, you spawn into a map with nothing. It’s both pvp and pve, and the usable map gets smaller over time (fortnite/battle royale style). You pick up loot throughout the game, lose everything when you die, and there are only x points where you can “extract.” If you extract, you can store that loot in your vault and choose what items to bring into the next match, so you have an advantage over other players.

bfg9k,
  • drop into 'zone’
  • run around trying to find gear and equipment
  • run to extraction zone without getting killed and 'extract’
  • organise your stash for 30 minutes and go out again with new gear
  • get killed and lose all the gear you had
  • repeat until next server wipe and you have to do it all again
Hadriscus,

7-Zip : The Game

LolcatXTREME,

Your own comment says “Far Cry 7 and a stand-alone Far Cry multiplayer game.” Two separate entities, not far cry 7 being a multiplayer game.

lustyargonian,

Is it multiplayer like rainbow six siege or multiplayer like coop in normal far cry games?

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

What a strange article. I loved those games when I was younger but this is just basically an article saying “we’re making another first person shooter and have some ideas on it” Nothing related to Delta Force other than the name.

theangriestbird, do gaming w Sources: Nintendo targets 2024 with next-gen console | VGC

From the reddit r/games thread, sounds like a lot of folks aren’t too keen on the idea of another low-quality LCD screen. How would you feel about a Switch successor having basically the same screen?

Electricorchestra,

I go back and forth between playing a lot of handheld and very little handheld. Honestly the screen doesn’t bother me. I’ve had no issues with Nintendo games. I would argue the biggest issue in modern day gaming is the bloody text size of things. I’m trying to play FFXV right now on ps4 and the text is soooo bloody small.

theangriestbird,

Ugh text size is a pet peeve of mine. I’m mostly PC gaming these days and it’s less of an issue there, but idk how it’s 2023 and text size isn’t as ubiquitous as like, discrete volume sliders.

patchymoose,
@patchymoose@lemmy.ml avatar

I’d like there to be an OLED option for people who use handheld mode heavily and want to pay more for a better display. But for the base model, it makes total sense for it to be an LCD display. That’s just prudent, as the average player probably doesn’t care and wants to pay less. Especially parents buying this at Christmas.

Kichae,

I haven't played handheld in at least 4 years. I'd honestly prefer a version of the system that was screenless at this point.

OneRedFox,
@OneRedFox@beehaw.org avatar

I’d wait for an OLED version personally.

Hdcase,

Not great. The OLED is a game changer, it’s such a beautiful screen and the colors really pop.

That said, I’m still interested in this particularly if Switch games are backwards compatible.

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

The only xbox exclusive(s) that I can think of that I have enjoyed and come back to in the past decade are the forza horizon games. I’ve had more enjoyment from backwards compatibility and 3rd party titles on my Xbox.

Halo should have been good. But something happened to both bungie and 343 during that split. Bungie had some kind of magic with their specific group from halo CE to reach. They knew what they were making, and they knew exactly how to bring their vision to life.

After the split, it felt like both company’s were limping their releases to the finish line.

To be fair, I think a good portion of the issues are that Microsoft seems to be treating everything like a financial decision and not a creative one. I know this might not be the most popular opinion, but shit I would be happy if they scaled back their games a bit and just made something solid for once on a cheaper budget. I think we’ve seen that people don’t need these massive projects to have fun. If you look at what some of the most popular games have been the past while, a lot are indie games.

I think the saddest part is that the xbox ecosystem during the xbox 360 was so good when it came to community features. Party chat was a game changer, and it made the system feel like a hub to gather friends. A lot of the games available were perfect for groups. Now because the games have been suffering, a lot of my friends have moved to various platforms. It’s become less social and a lot less fun. Of course this is anecdotal and less of a tangible issue for Microsoft. But it’s these long term issues that have cause a cascading effect of corroding their brand.

PoorYorick, do games w Two indie Steam games were disguised as Helldivers 2 to scam players

Sanguine,

There is a little flag icon somewhere on the right of the store page. That’s how you report.
