catloaf, do games w Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo

I don’t think people are playing Kirby games expecting Dolby surround sound anyway, so this seems like it’d be a pretty easy decision.

Clown_Tempura, do nintendo w Nintendo reportedly showed a demo of the ‘Switch 2’ console at Gamescom which included visuals comparable to the PS5 and Xbox Series X.

I feel like I’m in the minority when I’m looking forward to Nintendo making a high-powered console for once. The last time their hardware was on par with or better than the rest of the industry was the Gamecube, which was an amazing little system.

dudewitbow,

I dont think itll be high powered, thats just the reporter adding something for clickbait.

Im one to believe in Bobby Kottick mentioning that the Switch 2 is roughly the power of a PS4 as he was in contempt of the court when his leak of its performance was discussed. the handheld likely has better cpu performance though vs ps4, as its basically in the same playing field as the steam deck is, both companies who can sit and make thir 30% cut from developer games.

Tldr, dont expect Series S perf, expect steam deck performance with better battery and DLSS support to 4k (i personally believe itll target 1080p60, and use DLSS Performamce preset to upscale to 4k, as 1440p tvs arent common)

Clown_Tempura,

Honestly a handheld PS4 equivalent of the Steam Deck sounds nice too.

darn,
@darn@lemmy.world avatar

even then, the gamecube had mini discs instead of full sized ones, so games couldn’t be as big

the n64 was behind in a similar way, using cartridges when cds were starting to become the norm

Psythik, (edited )

You’re not. I’ve been wanting this since the GameCube, the last Nintendo system that was built with performance in mind and advertised as such. The Wii was a step in the wrong direction, and it was all downhill from there as far as my head canon is concerned. I’m glad that Nintendo is finally catering to fans like us again after waiting patiently for 22 years.

Yoooo I loved the Delta force games as a kid. Shame it’s Tencent bringing it back :(

The multiplayer version on the Black Hawk Down engine was so sick. Better than Battlefield, and sold at Walmart for like $10

@samus12345@sh.itjust.works avatar

A PS5 Pro, which is more powerful, is $750. If it’s not below that it’s too damn much.

Cheaper games at a higher upfront cost + no monthly online subscription for multiplayer

And is actually usable as a desktop being able to run things like blender, krita, gimp, obs, etc.

99% of people won’t care though they just want to be able to play stardew valley on their big TV.

Lfrith,

They can do that on a cheap previous gen console or a potato laptop.

No adobe unfortunately

Lfrith,

If someone really wants adobe they can replace steamos with windows or dualboot or maybe boot windows off a external ssd they installed it on.

cyberpunk007,

Also once you buy it they’ve locked you to their platform and make their Monday back on games.

Goodlucksil,

Not really, you can install any other Linux like on any other AMD PC, as happened with the Steam Deck

devedeset,

They were referring to the PS5

Goodlucksil,

!kandoh implied the steam machine

cyberpunk007,

I’m referring to PlayStation, Xbox, etc.

kandoh,
@kandoh@reddthat.com avatar

Yeah, since thr Gabecube is just a PC then a company could just buy the valve subsidized machine, wipe it, and use it for business stuff and never buy a game. Valve can’t risk that.

cyberpunk007,

This is what I’m saying

Goodlucksil,

Valve isn’t publicly traded so profits aren’t a big issue.

smeg,

This is the key thing that everyone comparing it directly to consoles seems to be completely missing. Even if you’re only buying new steam games the costs are going to be way lower, but you could buy this and just play free giveaways or emulate your own old console games, and suddenly it’s a bargain (like any PC).

ms_lane,

A PS5 Pro is locked to the PlayStation store, I can’t install my Steam, GOG, Epic, etc games on it.

The games are all more expensive too and you have to rebuy them to get resolution upgrades with newer hardware.

Bakkoda, do games w Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027

Realistic goal considering they already do so little QA.

I hope they put out the last FF VII remake part before that, so i can finally start playing them all! I don’t care what they want to waste their money on afterwards lol

@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

I wouldn’t be shy about getting into Remake or Rebirth now. They both stand up as their own games (concise start/ending, somewhat distinct mechanics, each one is easily 40+ hours of gameplay). And with Part 3 targeted for 2027 release, I suspect this kind of overhaul would be outside their dev cycle to implement.

Part 2 is already using the engine from Part 1 with minor adjustments. I suspect most of Part 3 development is cinematics and world building.

themurphy, do gaming w Sony is reportedly set to release an updated PS5 DualSense controller with a removable battery | VGC

Nice change. But it’s probably because of the EU making it mandatory more than Sony being good guys.

theangriestbird,

These days, any time a corpo is doing something cool, I always assume it is because of a new EU regulation.

I’d want to play it for sure. Not in a legitimate capacity, but I love seeing janky ports of things on places they don’t belong. They’re so much fun to experience for me.

DebatableRaccoon, do gaming w Ex-PlayStation boss says games should be shorter because development costs are ‘not sustainable’ [VGC]

Where’s my shocked Pikachu face? Now just for these people to learn infinite growth also isn’t sustainable and we might finally be getting somewhere.

theangriestbird,

Shawn Layden, the titular “Ex-Playstation boss”, is currently strategic advisor for Tencent. Would we say that Tencent is currently adhering to this strategic advice?

DebatableRaccoon,

It feels like the correct answer would be “no” but I honestly don’t know enough about Tencent to weigh in.

theangriestbird,

the hard part is that they are partial investors in so many things. I believe they own the PUBG studio, which is the same studio that published Callisto Protocol, and that game had one of the largest budgets of all time. That’s the most obvious link I could find, but also that game came out a couple years ago so who knows, maybe they are steering the ship away from big budgets as we speak.
