haui_lemmy, rok temu do games w Sony fined €13.5m by French antitrust regulator

Who wants to bet the damage caused and profit gained by this action was a lot higher than this?

flyboy_146, rok temu

…but it’s a start. And it will have a bigger impact than if there was no penalty at all. 🤷

haui_lemmy, rok temu

Yes, absolutely. Still, fines for fortune 500 companies should always be damage+profit gained from the action times two.

Cethin, rok temu

I would say damage + profit + %revenue. It should be made to sting.

Honestly, with a good director I see this work better than as a game.

IWantToFuckSpez, rok temu

And a good script doctor. They need to cut out at least 80% of the technobabble.

Fragile, but not that fragile, samantha AmERicA strand, almost everything Diehardman says…

i love the gameplay, but Kojimas writing is seriously getting more and more cringey, and not enough to be a cult like Tommy Wiseau, he neeeds editors

TheRtRevKaiser, rok temu

Yeah IMO the more famous and respected Kojima has gotten, the worse his writing has been. And I think you’ve hit the nail on the head, he badly needs editors. I think it’s kind of like George Lucas in that they have a lot of ideas, some of which are really good and some of which are absolutely batshit. Sometimes those types of writers need someone who can ground them and tell them that they don’t have to put all of their ideas in.

skele_tron, rok temu

Exactly, and its a shame because his ideas are really good. Even his earlier campy writing ( Ocelot encounters in MGS3 were so over the top but so good ) had its charm.

dangblingus, rok temu

Thats his trademark. I dont want to play a game where all of his wacky crazy ideas get sanitized in the name of having mass appeal.

You think modern audiences can look past his hilariously terrible character names?

Sponsored by Monster Energy and Ride with Norman Reedus?

tias, rok temu

The Monster product placement was tone deaf and took away so much from the immersion. IMHO it almost ruined the experience.

dangblingus, rok temu

Until you make Norman Dinkus drink too many, then it comes full circle and becomes a bona fide Kojima moment.

dangblingus, rok temu do gaming w Kojima Productions and A24 to adapt live-action Death Stranding movie

Yes! Please develop the back story more! We want to see how the DS came to be! Plant some seeds for DS2! More Lea Seydoux! More Die Hardman!

executivechimp, rok temu do gaming w Kojima Productions and A24 to adapt live-action Death Stranding movie

I wonder if it will have half-hour long game play sections…

MiddledAgedGuy, rok temu do gaming w Kojima Productions and A24 to adapt live-action Death Stranding movie

I hope they don’t ruin it, but I find myself cautiously optimistic.

• Since Kojima is involved, I think there will be an attempt to do it well, not just a low effort cash grab
• The Last Of Us TV series shows that these adaptations can be good.

Kojima finally gets his wish to make a movie instead of a game!?

Kolanaki, rok temu

I’ve been wondering when the fuck he would jump into film since he has the money, the talent, the desire and now the recognition to do so.

IWantToFuckSpez, rok temu

That’s was definitely his end goal when he started cozying up with Guillermo del Toro and other people with short lines to Hollywood

shiveyarbles, rok temu do gaming w Kojima Productions and A24 to adapt live-action Death Stranding movie

This movie is going to deliver

sub_, rok temu

Let’s hope it doesn’t stumble and fall, by properly paving paths that connects people.

Errrm, errrm, I’m gonna turn off my WiFi and BT connection while watching it. Whales.

Yadaran, rok temu do gaming w Kojima Productions and A24 to adapt live-action Death Stranding movie

First ever strand type movie

JokeDeity, rok temu

I’m a simple man, I see a Dunkey reference, I upvote.

Yadaran, rok temu

They’re a little something for everyone

delitomatoes, rok temu do gaming w Kojima Productions and A24 to adapt live-action Death Stranding movie

It’s a contemplative movie about a guy and him never having met his father, having a child of his own and traveling across a destroyed world and seeing how the survivors cope.

The sci fi stuff is just a layer over it, if they can make the themes and symbolism work

HopingForBetter, rok temu do gaming w Kojima Productions and A24 to adapt live-action Death Stranding movie

All I can hear is infant screaming.
The premise was good, but that ruined the game for me. Same as Yoshi's Island. Infant screaming.

hamburglar26, rok temu

I first played the game with an infant at home, do not want.

Aside from that I loved it, even with the insane plot.

Kolanaki, rok temu

I simply got good enough that they never screamed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

DoucheBagMcSwag, rok temu do gaming w Kojima Productions and A24 to adapt live-action Death Stranding movie

Just waiting for “it’s a strand type movie.”

If this somehow bombs (I know it won’t), I’m going to start calling him Hediwo Jima in public.

jordanlund, rok temu do gaming w Fntastic closes days after The Day Before's launches on Early Access

Is this the same game that was accused of faking the gameplay video or was that something else?

Skunk, rok temu

It is that game yeah, from a company used to abandon games shortly after releasing them but 4 days is a record.

They were also gloating on a now deleted YouTube video about using unpaid “volunteer” devs that worked only for fame and experience.

NoneYa, rok temu

Some exposure that’s going to be for them, yikes.

peter, rok temu

Aparrently it wasn’t unpaid devs, just unpaid community moderators and translators. Which is pretty common

BruceTwarzen, rok temu

That doesn't narrow it down at all

shapesandstuff, rok temu do gaming w Fntastic closes days after The Day Before's launches on Early Access

We did everything within our power

If you’re that down bad, days after entering early access, you never had a plan to begin with.
