ramenshaman, do nintendo w Nintendo has filed a patent for ‘smart fluid’ joysticks, perhaps to eliminate drift | VGC

Just use hall effect sensors like everybody else. You can buy hall effect joycon joysticks and 3rd party controllers comparable to the pro controllers that use hall effect joysticks as well. They don’t drift.

AzPsycho, do games w Starfield’s Xbox exclusivity ‘yielded a better product’, Todd Howard says

It worked for The last of Us and Spiderman. Optimization through exclusivity allows the publishers to spend less time chasing down random bugs and rendering issues.

MonkCanatella, 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.

lol, 3 years into the current gen and switch 2 only competes. Seriously

maxprime,

Aside from possibly the N64 and GameCube, Nintendo has never tried to push technology in that way.

And it’s been true since the very first console. The Master System was more powerful than the NES, and the Genesis/Mega Drive was more powerful than the Super NES (arguably; the Sega CPU was far more powerful than Nintendo’s). Same is true for its portables.

They’ve always prioritized per-unit margins. It’s a conservative approach, but it means profit on every console sold.

So there’s a 0% chance this console is actually as powerful as a PS5. However, there’s a good chance there are hardware and software techniques being used to upscale a lower resolution image.

Sorry I don’t believe this one

AstralPath, do games w EA’s first WRC game will be out this November, it’s claimed

I’m curious to see how badly the 20 year old RBR dunks on this new game. Don’t get me wrong, I’m dying for any studio to put RBR to rest at this point but I just don’t see it happening with EA.

NuPNuA,

Isn’t essentially just going to be an extension of Codemasters existing rally games? With EA as the publisher now?

AstralPath,

I’m sure Codemasters is still the team working on it but their games are still sorely lacking in the physics department. I understand the need for the game to be playable on a controller for mass appeal, but we really do need them to refine the engine to cater to wheel users. The cars have way too much grip. I don’t even mention how atrocious the tarmac physics are.

brihuang95, do gaming w Square Enix confirms Final Fantasy 16 PC version and DLC plans | VGC
@brihuang95@sopuli.xyz avatar

So how are folks finding the game? I’ve only played the demo on my PS5 and thought it was pretty neat but does it hold up overall?

@ram@lemmy.ca avatar

I’ve not played it myself, but I’ve heard the final act jumps the shark pretty bad.

robbotlove,

I had the same experience and was also curious how the rest of the game holds up. I had big issues with 15 due to repeatable side quests (I like to clear all sides quests before moving on to the next area) so I was super overleveled the entire game.

Sharpie,

I’m 2/3rd of the way through the game… I put it on hold for BG3 and AC6. I’ll finish ff16 eventually.

Overall, I’ve enjoyed myself with 16. My biggest complaint is that the game “gets in its own way” so much. I think I’ve spent more time in cutscenes than I have playing the game. (It’s pretty telling that I have a friend that’s skipping through all of the cutscenes in NG+ and he’s having a blast.)

The story is alright. I’ve had fun with it (though I wish the cutscenes were shorter or less frequent). My biggest complaint is that it takes waaaaayyyyyy too much inspiration from Game of Thrones. There were plenty of moments where it became distracting.

Gameplay is fun. If you played through the second section of the demo, you should have an idea of how it feels for most of the game. There’s decent flexibility to it and i feel like it hit a good balance of letting me put together combos that felt strong but not too broken.

tabris,

Played through the entire game, started on NG+. I really enjoyed it, the story was definitely a Final Fantasy story, much better than XV.

My one gripe is the lack of mini-games, which apparently was intentional on the part of the devs. All side content is still combat focused.

You can get through most of the game not truly mastering combat, but NG+ is a different story. Overall, a solid 8/10 game.

OctopusKurwa,

I’ve played and finished every mainline non MMO FF game and hated everything after 10, so I wasn’t exactly hopeful that I would enjoy it.

It’s the 5th best in the series for me after having finished it a couple weeks ago. I used to think the loss of Sakaguchi is what killed my love for FF but now I realise it was the lack of well written likeable characters that did it.

I will say one thing though, while a great game it’s not much of an rpg. There’s pretty much no variety in how you build Clive.

simple, do games w Picross studio Jupiter has announced a new puzzle game for PC and Switch | VGC

This is basically picross again but with a doodle god minigame. At least it’s not a switch exclusive.

I love picross games, and any game with a new twist is welcome. This is a great studio too, so I’m looking forward to it!

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

Let’s not overhype it, okay? Better to be surprised by how good it is than to be sad because it does not live up to expectations.

Dick_Justice, do games w The Xbox 360 Store is closing next year | VGC
@Dick_Justice@lemmy.world avatar

Will you still be able to download 360 games via the Xbox One?

Omegamanthethird, (edited )
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

It sounds like the impact is only for the 360 console. So if it’s BC on Xbox One, you’ll still be able to buy, download, and play them on Xbox One.

The only games that will be unpurchasable/downloadable are the ones only available on the 360 to begin with.

Thanks!

Blaiz0r, do gaming w Modern Warfare 3 campaign early access, beta details and pre-order bonuses leak | VGC

I haven’t played the campaign from either of the last 2 games and barely even bothered with regular multiplayer in MW2, mostly sticking to Warzone and DMZ instead.

I have no interest in MW3 at all

Nfntordr, do games w Stalker 2 could still release this year, according to distributor listing

Release about 1 month after Starfield to potentially capitalise on everyone realising it didn’t live up to the hype.

Maybe this means that fivem will come to consoles if rockstar is officially supporting it now
