tuckerm, do games w Remedy says its Max Payne remakes are ‘a big, big project’

But that screenshot proves that no remake is necessary. Does that not look perfect already? Literally pictures of real people slapped onto 3D models. Photo realism, done. Perfected. No one else, besides the classic Mortal Kombat games, has had the courage to make a game out of straight up photographs of real people. Max Payne had the best graphics. The MOST graphics. THE PHOTO GRAPHICS.

Hazdaz, 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 don’t doubt it… Nintendo is always years behind.

The PS5 came out in 2020 and this Switch2 is probably a year away. So that would make their hardware be roughly 4 years old in terms of power. Plus if this is roughly the size of the current Switch, it won’t be pushing more than HD-resolutions (current Switch is only a 720 display), so getting PS5-level graphics on a 1080 screen these days is not particularly complicated or expensive.

Vathsade,

Current switch does 1080 docked already , so while I hope it’ll have at least 4k menus and 4k light games, I’d settled for 1080 again with some sorta more advanced AA for first party games

Hazdaz,

it’s screen is 720. I would not expect Nintendo to go above 1080 on the screen and maybe output a scaled-up 4K when docked.

Psyduck_world,

God of war 2016 PS 4 original setting at 720p on steam deck is about 30 fps. On ROG Ally afew frames less if you run it at 15 watts, at 45 watts Ally can probably do 720p at 50ish fps but less than an hour of battery. Ally is the top of line 2023 AMD tech apu and cost $700. Mobile technology is amazing right now, but it’s just not at a level where it can do 3 years old desktop graphics at a reasonable cost/power consumption.

qooqie, do games w Dragon Age Dreadwolf keeps getting delayed internally, report claims | VGC

Hasn’t BioWare been having a shit ton of problems these past few years? Hope they’re able to clean up and get back to making some great games.

Hasn’t BioWare been having a shit ton of problems these past few years? Hope we can make some good money after we fire everyone and close the studio.

I mean, most of the people that made those great games don’t work there anymore.

Xianshi, do games w Sony’s latest PlayStation 5 sale knocks £75 / €100 off the console’s price in Europe | VGC

After steam sales and the deck I could never go back to a normal console

Kissaki, do gaming w Nintendo now has a US patent on summoning characters and making them battle for you | VGC

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair in Japan last year, alleging that Palworld infringes on three patents that are related to monster catching gameplay, including summoning Pals by throwing Pal Spheres, and using Pals as vehicles like gliders.

Indication of how protective vs aggressive Nintendo uses it’s patents.

How similar vs novel do you feel pal world is to Pokemon?

MurrayL, do games w Nintendo wins $2 Million settlement against Switch modchip seller who previously denied wrongdoing

“Typically, when a customer purchases a hacked console or the circumvention services, Defendant preinstalls on the console a portfolio of ready-to-play pirated games, including some of Nintendo’s most popular titles such as its Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid games.”

Yeah, that’ll bring the hammer down every time.

We can argue about the legality and morality of mod chips all day long, but building a business on distributing pirated software (and software that’s still being actively sold, at that) is a legal slam dunk.

Poopfeast420,

That’s what I was thinking myself.

Nintendo might have still tried something, even with just the mod chips, just to try and strongarm someone into submission. However, distributing the games just seems incredibly dumb to me, and might be the main reason they were able to get this settlement.

Bubs, do gaming w PS5 Digital Edition consoles are reportedly getting a quiet storage downgrade | VGC

TL;DR future versions of the digital console with come with only 825GB of storage but still cost the same as the current version which has 1TB of storage. AKA shrinkflation.

JohnEdwa,

And a really shitty one, price difference between those two for a manufacturer ordering things in massive quantity is barely anything. Sony saves $5 per console, users lose 20% of their storage.

Truscape, do games w Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says

Shhhh! Nobody tell him about Steam and GOG…

I want to see the Playstation brand implode on itself like the PS3 price shock again, so people move to PC!

Kit, do gaming w Microsoft is rolling out Xbox age verification to comply with the UK’s Online Safety Act | VGC

In 2026, Xbox users who wish to use voice or text communication with those outside of their friends list to verify their age.

The silver lining is that we’ll no longer have to hear little kids screaming into their mics in online games.

Megaman_EXE, do gaming w Splitgate 2 is ‘unlaunching’ as developer 1047 Games cuts staff | VGC

This comes just after the whole “Make fps great again” issue happened. Not a good time to be on that team

rainwall,

The ceo is the son of one of the founders of Inuit, the turbotax/quickbooks company. Hes even on sliptgates board.

The owner is pure nepo and will never face any consequence for failure. Its pretty easy to see why they dont care about killing the company and fucking the employees.

Fiivemacs, do gaming w ‘The age of game mechanics is over’, claims Shadow of the Colossus director Ueda | VGC

what a weird ass article that really says and accomplishes nothing

Goodeye8,

It really is. I would go as far as to call it a clickbait article. The title is intriguing but the only addition to the statement is that that the era is over because every game doesn't need to release with something new. And that's essentially the whole article as the rest is just filler.

brsrklf,

I am pretty sure the “every game doesn’t need something new” era had already started in the mid-80s. And new mechanics, and new takes on old ones, still happen.

The guy is in old man mode.

Correct.

Fiivemacs, do games w ‘We tried and it didn’t work out’: CDPR co-founder says it shouldn’t stray from AAA open-world RPGs

Funny because I stray away from anything that associates itself with AAA

etchinghillside,

Because you moved on to AAAA?

warmaster,

Once you go Ubi, you can’t go back to a life without climbing towers.

sylver_dragon,

Well, the world should have moved on to IPv6 a long time ago.

Yeller_king,

I’m holding out for AAAAA.

Phen,

Any such experiences in the last few years? I think the last AAA games I’ve played where RDR2 and Spider Man.

UndercoverUlrikHD,
@UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev avatar

I rarely play games nowadays and even more rarely new games. Baldur’s Gate 3 is the first one that comes to mind in recent years.

God of War, Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, Avowed

Phen,

Oh yeah I played Elden Ring too. Avowed I tried but didn’t like; the other two really aren’t my type of game.

fyzzlefry,

Meh

Goretantath, do games w MultiVersus officially closes down and is delisted today

The reason that games are even hosted on “official” servers like these is to ensure the company can take the game down once the devs run out of time o the contract they made for all the IP’s they use in said game. Otherwise its possible AND has been done before to let the players machines spin up a server each match.

Goretantath,

The only issue was having to have a “matchmaking” server but even then, steam has the tools to replace that entirely.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

That could be one reason, at least in a game such as MultiVersus with different IPs being used.

But they still lock down servers to their own shit when they own it all anyway and it’s because they also sell you crap to have in the game. If you had your own server, you could just give yourself the stuff they sell since all those things are still in the game somewhere and the only barrier between you and the content is their servers checking to see if you paid for them.
