gedhrel, 8 miesięcy temu do games w "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books"

Honestly I think W3 jumped the shark when it added a fifth faction for Gwent, and I know I’m not alone in this opinion.

“Initial sales fall short of predictions”

At this point i appreciate the heads up from all the studios. Makes not buying the games much easier if you don’t even get on the hype train.

Pichu0102, 9 miesięcy temu 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

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.

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.

They make more money on digital only, you don't actually own the product, and you can't resell it.

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

Until Nintendo says they can’t.

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?

They could always release the source code.

NuXCOM_90Percent, 10 miesięcy temu 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, 10 miesięcy temu (edited 10 miesięcy temu) 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.

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

KingThrillgore, 10 miesięcy temu

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

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