Does he? By now his brain may be addled enough for him to believe that. The guy's been Todd Howard for decades now and that's really got to wear on a person's mind.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
I really don’t understand why this trilogy needs to exist. Nostalgia I guess? These games were terrible and always a rent from Blockbuster for the weekend type jam and be glad you didn’t spend money on actually owning them.
It definitely hasn’t aged well, but that’s largely because the humor was based on pop culture references. Talking about Jessica Simpson isn’t really cool anymore. But that the time, it was a sort of revolutionary thing to have games reference current pop culture. It made the games feel fresh, especially if you played them right at launch.
Were they great games? No. But from a gaming culture standpoint, they had a surprisingly large impact. Game devs learned what did and didn’t work in regards to the references and gameplay, and that alone makes them culturally important.
Also, games deserve to be preserved even if they didn’t have a massive impact on gaming. Even old Flash games have massive preservation efforts, because every single game was someone’s pet project. Imagine saying the same thing about a bad film. Sure, a modern 4k re-release may not need to exist, but that keeps it in modern formats and makes preservation easier.
To me it felt completely sterile, lifeless and just set dressing. Although the stories where cool the immersion didn’t work at all, turning it into a bore and ultimately disappointing. I played the patched version that supposedly had all this fixed.
You can just say you didn’t like it, it’s fine. You don’t have to try and rationalize everything. Like this: I don’t like the new Doom games and think the OGs are way more fun. See? Now you go.
There are only two ways a difficulty setting has ever been used, and only one would be good for a game like this.
Either the health and damage (and possibly speed) is going to be adjusted so easier difficulty means you take less damage and deal more, while harder difficulties turn enemies into sponges that absolutely destroy you in 1 or 2 hits.
Or they re-do every encounter, 3 times, adding, removing, or re-arranging the mobs so they are easier or more difficult by actually tweaking the challenge and not the just the “numbers.”
Almost every game chooses to do the former and not the latter because it’s cheap and easy to do. Takes literally no effort to adjust some numbers by a percentage. It actually takes some thought and planning and time to actually present different tiers of challenge, naturally.
Imagine if every boss took as long to kill as that one giant dragon in Elden Ring that doesn’t even move because it’s too big and would crash the game if it actually did even when you’re completely maxed out in every stat.
I want to appreciate the additions, but…this is also not a good way of doing it.
The difficulty is often the point in Soulslikes, but quite often it feels like these games are hard in 17 different ways, and a player may only have trouble with 1 of them.
Maybe that’s navigation, and finding the next path forward. Maybe that’s working out how to put together a functioning build, and realizing what each weapon does. Maybe it’s that the parry window is just a few frames too tight because they’re playing with an input delay.
That’s why the games I’ve liked have varied accessibility options to let you change just one thing, like getting your souls back on dying, slowing down the game, slightly decreasing damage values - or increasing them on both sides.
