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.

Janky, unfocused, confusing.

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@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.

  • 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
@theangriestbird@beehaw.org avatar

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,
@theangriestbird@beehaw.org avatar

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.

Not every project works out and he seems to behave like they weren’t so fair enough. He did put out three shitty card games on Steam and that NIER mobile gacha game, so it’s not like he’s incapable of making stinkers too.

They jumped on the NFT bandwagon a couple years ago, too. Did they not learn anything from that?

very_well_lost, do games w ‘It’s about redemption’: Peter Molyneux says Masters of Albion will make up for decades of ‘overpromising on things’

I’m not sure that Pete has actually played a game he wasn’t directly involved with since like… 2010?

What we’ve seen of his new game really isn’t that interesting in the modern landscape. Maybe a decade ago it would have been fresh and had enough of a hook to compete for gamers’ attention, but today? It looks pretty forgettable.

Then when you consider Molyneux’s propensity towards feature creep, it’s probably safe to assume that even if the game is a ‘success’ by most conventional metrics, it won’t be profitable because the amount of money spent to make the damn thing will have been completely insane.

Agent_Karyo, (edited )

Arguably the issue isn't so much in the gaming landscape as the history behind the game.

His previous "game" was a crypto/NFT scam where they sold land (as NFTs) to people who were speculating they could make IRL money from renting out this "land" to plebs.

It was a complete failure. I played it for an hour on a free sever (or something similar). The gameplay was complete shit, it was tedious and grindy (like mobile titles), a repetitive and uninspired experience, graphics were ugly, the multiplayer elements didn't really make much sense.

All the NFT buyers got destroyed while Molyneux collected tens of millions.

Allegedly that money was used to "invest" in Masters of Albion.

But the real kicker is that Masters of Albion seems to be based on that NFT scam game engine (which IMO is beyond saving).

I wouldn't be surprised if this a managed exit from his previous crypto/NFT scam "game".

svcg,

Scamming a bunch of NFT idiots is an arguably better funding model than promising a bunch of stuff to Kickstarter backers that you aren’t going to deliver on.

Agent_Karyo,

I would prefer if neither one was a thing.

Decq,

I can’t even finish the trailer with how boring and stale it looks. Calling it pretty forgettable is stating it nicely… I’m convinced this game will be released and nobody will even notice. He even sounds bored out of his mind himself.

Maybe there is a market of mobile gamers gone PC that he’s trying to capture, much like Godus? I don’t see how this will entice anyone else.

Basically he has no clout left, even though I still wish for a good Black and White sequel, B&W 2 doesn’t count.

why would I want to go through the first Halo campaign yet again when I know I’m eventually going to get to the level with the flood where EVERY ROOM looks exactly the same and I’m just going to turn it off.

I know what’s going to happen, I know what’s ahead of me, I know I don’t want to do that again.

Now if they redid ODST or Reach? sure I’d be all for that. I enjoy those Halo games. but for gods sake I don’t want to play Halo 1 ever again.

thingsiplay, do gaming w Doug Bowser is stepping down as Nintendo of America president and COO | VGC

I was just looking in the web to learn more about Devon Pritchard (the woman who becomes America’s next president as Nintendo of America) and found following line in another blog post article: economictimes.indiatimes.com/…/124139537.cms

She holds a Doctor of Law (JD) degree from Gonzaga University School of Law (1998–2001)

Doctor of Law (Wikipedia) - That explains a lot. Nintendo loves lawyers.

Quexotic,

Is it weird that I misread that as gazonga twice before I got it right?

KairuByte, do gaming w Microsoft is raising Xbox console prices in the US again, five months after its last price increase | VGC
@KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

No one in the comments seems to understand why this is relevant. This is the opposite of the normal pattern of prices dropping as time goes on, solely because of trumps tariffs.

This isn’t a “oh I’m not making enough money” situation, this is a “oh if I sell it for the current price I’m losing money” situation.

Could some of it also be corpo greed? Absolutely. But the core reason for the price increases is trump, and his republican lackies.

Don’t let them pawn off blame to the companies.
