Pichu0102, do games w CD Projekt exec says "the right thing to do" is release a real Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge for Cyberpunk 2077, not a game-key card, in message to other studios: "Do not underestimate the physical edit
@Pichu0102@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t get why they don’t just have like, install cards with cheaper but slower storage on them for smaller game devs or extra large games that require installation to the system first before it can run. Seems like the in-between of key cards and full speed game cards which still might be faster than downloads and also helps game preservation by having the game actually on the card. Kind of like CD ROM or floppy disc games on PC.

entwine413,

Because that would be good for the consumer. They make more money on digital only, you don’t actually own the product, and you can’t resell it.

It’s a corporation’s wet dream.

The best way to handle it would be to keep the core game files on a physical card that loads into RAM, and download the assets to the local drive.

The game-key cards can actually be borrowed or resold, it just doesn't have the game itself on it.

jmcs,

Until Nintendo says they can’t.

AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor,

It’s even worse. All the people who defend the physical editions do it because when servers close, they can still play the game. A game key card is just a glorified digital release. When the servers close, you’ll have a piece of plastic.

This is partly the case for any game that receives significant updates as well. Your disc/cart contains 1.0, but is that the version you will want to play 50 years from now when you can't download updates anymore?

Fingolfinz, do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

This is why I just pirate games from big developers. They’re fuckers so fuck them anyway.

dragonlobster, do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

Fuck Ubisoft, I don’t know why everyone on Reddit loves em

Zess,

The r/gaming comments about this topic look exactly the same as here but go off if it makes you feel better or whatever.

Reality_Suit, do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

They could always release the source code.

NuXCOM_90Percent, do games w 6 years and 1 prolonged delay later, Xbox is still calling "incredible" Hollow Knight: Silksong one of its "upcoming games"

I mean… basically every platform is calling it an “upcoming game”. I want to say even fricking Nintendo have put it in a few sizzle reels?

Yes, it is a scientific fact that acknowledging Silksong adds at least another week until it releases. But it is also THE biggest indie game out there.

50_centavos, (edited ) do games w "Games are meant to be engaging, not exhausting": Lead dev on promising Soulslike RPG says

I’m a huge fan of Souls-like games but I have no problem with a difficulty slider IF the hardest setting rewards you with exclusive achievements or access to bonus areas in the game. It would be funny if the easiest setting replaces bosses with cute animals or something. Like kill this baby deer or play on hard mode.

Also, IMO if a game is not challenging it becomes incredibly boring after a few hours. I tried playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and put it on the hardest setting and it was like mild sauce from Taco Bell. Only bonus was a tiny more XP.

KingThrillgore, do games w Deep Rock Galactic roguelike dev says innovation for innovation's sake is too expensive to survive: "We're a studio of 50 people with bills to pay"
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

Deep Rock Galactic is owned by Embracer Group.

Glytch,

What’s your point? What makes Embracer different than any other gaming conglomerate?

KingThrillgore,
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

Because Embracer especially has a bad case of bag chasing and layoffs right after. If Ghost Ship downsizes, don’t act surprised.

Glytch,

It would be the same if they were owned by Activision or Ubisoft or EA. That’s just the industry right now.

MITM0, do games w The creator of upcoming life sim Inzoi says he was "recklessly brave to even think about creating a game of this scale"

I will still respect him for attempting

nx2, do gaming w Diablo 4's latest microtransaction controversy is a $30 portal recolor.
@nx2@feddit.de avatar

it died a long time ago

explodicle,

With the Worldstone.

MonkderZweite, do gaming w Starfield design lead says players are "disconnected" from how games are actually made: "Don't fool yourself into thinking you know why it is the way it is"

how games are actually made

Well, not like yours anymore.

darth_helmet, do games w Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's open world is inspired by The Witcher 3 and Horizon

If the open world in rebirth is like 15, this game will be trash.

Pistcow,

Fine, we’ll do the open world like 13.

skhayfa, do games w How the Assassin's Creed Mirage logo and its celebration of Arabic calligraphy came to life

It’s written Al makhfi-المخفي the hidden one in Arabic. They should have mentioned the brilliant artist name hatem arafa @hatem_arafa The eagle he designed for the soundtrack cover is Even more amazing.

Kolanaki, do games w More than Skyrim or Fallout, Todd Howard says Starfield was "intentionally made to be played for a long time" and Bethesda's looking 5+ years ahead
!deleted6508 avatar

And yet I find myself not wanting to play it at all after only 80 hours.

hypelightfly, do xbox w This website has the interactive Starfield maps that should've been in the game

Yeah, overall I'm enjoying the game but the star map does suck.

ech,

It’s wild that between games like NMS, EVE, Elite, even Satisfactory, there are great examples of what Bethesda should’ve done, but for whatever reason didn’t. There’s so much basic stuff that’s just…missing. I can only hope it’s all eventually modded in so players can have a more complete experience.

deft,

Just like Skyrim… Bethesda needs to go tbh

ech,

Why? What would their dissolution do for the industry? Making a bad or mediocre game isn’t really that big of a deal. They can make as many games as they want, as far as I’m concerned. The bad ones can just be ignored, and any good ones can be picked up.

XTornado,

The star map? Aren’t the complains about the planets maps? I don’t see what are the issues with the star map .

hypelightfly,

For me it's the star map and the lack of local map.

The planet maps are fine.

XTornado,

Well with planet map I actually meant the local map, sorry for the confussion.
