intensely_human, do games w Meta wants to be the Microsoft of headsets

Honestly “Microsoft” would have been a perfect brand name for a line of VR gear, if they hadn’t jumped the gun and applied it to software back in the day.

Harbinger01173430, do games w Activision/Blizzard QA workers form the largest US video game union yet

Does that mean they get more privileges to make crappy predatory games with loot boxes?

summerof69,

QAs don’t make games, they test them.

Harbinger01173430,

If they test them, how can they approve crappy games?

QueriesQueried,

Just because they failed QA doesn’t mean they failed marketing or won’t be released anyways. That’s the big wigs forcing shit through.

summerof69,

Maybe you should read how software is developed, what roles there are, how business functions in general, and so on - all that before blaming anyone for anything on the internet.

Harbinger01173430,

I make crappy corporate software. I know how this garbage is made and it has no quality. It’s all release after release and hope the bugs get fixed after a while by the tram.

You’re trying so hard to do some edgy pessimistic thing and it’s pretty funny how bad you’re failing.

Harbinger01173430,

thanks, i make an effort to be a good internet organic bot.

Coskii, do gaming w Nintendo launches lawsuit against the devs of the Switch emulator, Yuzu.

Regardless of how this plays out, I can confidently say that I’m done supporting that company in any way, shape, or form.

I'm blessed that I grew up with a PlayStation. Meant its really easy for me not to support Nintendo lol.

MonsiuerPatEBrown, do games w Spec Ops: The Line permanently removed from Steam and other digital stores

Geez glad I played it when it came out.

icermiga, do gaming w Ubisoft blames ‘technical error’ for showing pop-up ads in Assassin’s Creed

Obviously coding this up isn’t accidental, so I guess they mean that activating the feature was accidental (not very reassuring) but also it’s kind of hard to believe that even that was accidental. Any very basic QA would have prevented that. It was probably deliberately testing the waters.

hoshikarakitaridia, do games w Unity’s CEO is out, but that still may not be enough for developers

Yeah I’m gonna give the summary of the most important comments on this:

  • Unity is untrustworthy
  • they pulled this shit knowing it would fall flat
  • the CEO got his position when he was already known to be a prick
  • shady insider trading is shady
  • the board who chose or approved the CEO is still the same
  • there’s solid alternatives

These are all the reasons why you shouldn’t go back to Unity. That said, I’m very sorry for the Devs of Unity who most definitely don’t deserve this.

Computerchairgeneral, do gaming w Microsoft addresses the huge Xbox leaks: here’s Phil Spencer’s full memo

Curious to see the differences between the "real" plans and the leaked ones. Obviously, some of the dates are off since some of those games haven't been released yet and I have a hard time believing Elder Scrolls 6 is coming out next year. I could see some of those games being canceled, but it's hard to see plans around the midgen refresh changing up too much. It makes sense to have something to compete with the PS5 Pro that Sony is probably going to release next year and an all-digital Series X would be a good way to test the waters for going completely digital next generation.

A lot of the planned release dates got pushed back a year or two because of covid, so add a year to each date to get closer to when things are probably going to actually come out, I reckon.

I haven’t heard about any plans for PS5 Pro, but all that leaks have said what’s coming out is more like a Slim, since it’s going to be smaller, and not have a built-in disk drive. We’ll see, tho.

kadu, do games w This is Microsoft’s new disc-less Xbox Series X design with a new controller
@kadu@lemmy.world avatar

I’m super interested in the new controller.

I got the 8bitdo ultimate and deeply regret buying it, so now I’m back to my Series S controller.

@lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world avatar

I’m guessing you’re talking about the wired version that works with the Xbox console? What made you not like it?

I have the 8bitdo Pro 2 which I use with my phone and iPad. Aside from the rubber wearing out on the thumbsticks, I’m happy with it.

LaggyKar, do games w This is Microsoft’s new disc-less Xbox Series X design with a new gyro controller
@LaggyKar@programming.dev avatar

I hope it actually has gyros, so XBOX can finally get gyro aim. I don’t play on XBOX, but maybe support for that in XBOX controllers would make devs more inclined to support it. But the document only mentions an accelerometer.

Also, what’s up with controllers dropping face button colors? The PS5 did the same thing.

Also, what’s up with controllers dropping face button colors? The PS5 did the same thing.

From an aesthetic standpoint it just looks better^1 , and by now gaming consoles are so Mainstream that the additional accessibility the colors offer is not a good enough reason to keep them anymore.

^1 subjective, of course, but if you look at modern, big corporate design a lot of it is trending towards minimalism, very little use of color, etc.
