Lucidlethargy, do games w Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts

Lol. They show the Switch here… Those greedy assholes never lower the price of that console. Fuck Nintendo.

ms_lane,

It’s almost like it’s a running theme…

OG Xbox - nVidia GPU - never gets a price cut and is discontinued almost immediately after 360 releases (with an AMD GPU from which MS never looked back at nVidia)

PS3 - nVidia GPU - Only got small price cuts very late, discontinued almost immediately after PS4 release (with an AMD GPU from which Sony never looked back at nVidia)

Switch - nVidia SoC - never got a real price cut either (though Switch2 is also an nVidia SoC)

ampersandrew,

The OG Xbox got cut down to at least $150 from $300. My memory tells me that every console of that era was eventually cut to $100, but I found $150 with a very quick search. The PS3 slim was cut down to at least $300 from an entry price of $500. I don’t know how you call that small.

I was so pumped the first ariane 6 launch, I grew up with watching ariane 4 launches and had a huge revell model kit in my room.

It's horrible of you to post this when it's not out yet, now I have to wait to buy it. D:<

(Comments on the article mention that Zach said in an unofficial Discord that they're looking at releasing this summer but nothing concrete.)

slazer2au, do games w Stalker 2 has been enjoyable jank, but it’s also getting rapidly fixed

110Gb patch last night with over 1000 bugs fixed.

Ugurcan,

Damn, that’s way more promising than Bannerlord’s first big patch, which arrived with almost the same filesize with the release.

scripthook, do games w 11 years after launch, 49M people still use their PS4s, matching the PS5
@scripthook@lemmy.world avatar

I just recently bought a PS4 for $150. So being able to play most modern games (with the exception of any new games 2025 or later) is a pretty good deal :)

timo_timboo_,

Yeah, I’m planning to get a PS4 or maybe PS4 Pro as well. It’s a great deal considering the large library of games, many of which can be bought physically for relatively cheap.

onlinepersona, do gaming w Playtron’s wildly ambitious gaming OS aims to unite stores, lure “core casuals”

Headed by former Cyanogen CEO, it’s a Linux OS that might not be fully open.

LMAO. RIP

GlitterInfection,

Oooh that explains their website which is all marketing fluff and questionable statements like “SteamOS is locked down to the steamverse.”

circuitfarmer, do games w Unity makes major changes to controversial install-fee program ...😑
@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It doesn’t matter.

They showed their hand. They can and will change pricing after the fact. Who would want that kind of liability on their product?

TwilightVulpine, do gaming w Volition (Saints Row developer) shuts down

Embracer group is terrible. It came with big promises of reviving dormant franchises but it's just closing studios with not a single game announcement to show for it.

RollingZeppelin, do games w AMD and Sony’s PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline

Great, more blurry textures.

orca, do gaming w It’s official: EA is selling to private equity in $55 billion deal

Good suggestion a friend gave me: Go to the Electronic Arts Steam page and mark them as an ignored creator. It won’t block everything EA but can add a banner to EA products that says you’ve added them to your ignore list.

Fuck EA.

inclementimmigrant, (edited ) do gaming w Reports: EA set to be sold to private investors for up to $50 billion - Ars Technica

They’re being sold to the Saudis. The same guys who hacked up a journalist so they will continue the EA tradition of hacking up developers, only now 100% more physically.

But_my_mom_says_im_cool, do gaming w Reports: EA set to be sold to private investors for up to $50 billion - Ars Technica

Serious question. What difference does this make? They’re already a shit corporate soulless entity, how much worse can things get? I already avoid 99% of their games

Renacles,

@RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world avatar

Played the hell out of 1, 2, and 3, along with Freespace. Planetdescent was my home for years. Shakerheads unite!

truxnell, do games w Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter

Played the shit outra this and descent 2. Sad its gone, but it gave us my favourite space sim: Descent FreeSpace 1 & 2

TheRealKuni,

I loved Descent: Freespace, but I liked X-Wing: Alliance better.
