LetMeEatCake, do gaming w Dragon Age Dreadwolf keeps getting delayed internally, report claims | VGC

Not surprising.

Bioware has spent over a decade chasing mass appeal for their games, to the detriment of what they’re good at. They made that work as they shifted from 2D to 3D to action-3D. That stopped working as they went too far, abandoning their core strengths. Bioware hasn’t had an unmitigated success since… ME2 in 2010? That’s 13 years of them floundering, with the very mitigated successes of ME3 and DA:I early on in that.

That kind of floundering is going to filter down to everyone working there. It’s hard to bounce back from that. They know Dreadwolf needs to hit it out of the park if they hope to continue on. Easy situation to end up in development hell with delay after delay…

hagelslager,

And it certainly doesn’t help that a great “classic Bioware” game was released by Larian (… again).

At this point, I won’t believe Dreadwolf is coming out until it’s for sale on store shelves.

NaoPb, do gaming w Todd Howard wants Elder Scrolls 6 to be ‘the ultimate fantasy-world simulator’

If they give it fair weather, I’m in.

[edit]

And reintroduce features from Daggerfall that have since been removed.

brsrklf,

Skills and spells that outright don’t work and unreadable maps from hell ?

Just joking, I know how impressive Daggerfall was, but wow did it feature some of the trademark Bethesda jank already.

NaoPb,

I was expecting someone to mention all the bugs and crashing of the game, hehe. That is something I would not miss allright.

But…aren’t they all already backed up by the preservation community? Redump, etc. I haven’t checked admittedly

gk99, do gaming w Veteran Call of Duty designer David Vonderhaar has left Treyarch | VGC

Here’s hoping Treyarch can carry the torch without him. They’ve always been fantastic game devs and have been the best CoD studio for years.

Wonder what he’s doing now.

DracEULA,

I remember back when Treyarch was considered the B team that got the side projects, but even then World at War was the only game in the series I ever really liked.

Mandy, do gaming w Tencent is bringing back military FPS series Delta Force

Well, straight in the trash it goes than, a shame

all-knight-party, do gaming w Sources: Ubisoft has cancelled its Immortals Fenyx Rising sequel
@all-knight-party@fedia.io avatar

Such a shame, I would've been more interested in this game, but the similarities to both Breath of the Wild and AC Odyssey meant the itches it scratched were already taken care of for me, and partially by the same publisher, too.

thingsiplay, do gaming w Digital Eclipse is releasing a Tetris collection called Tetris Forever [VGC]

The iconic original Game Boy version is missing. :-(

theangriestbird,

a crime if true. The article says that it “will include ‘more than 15’ playable games from the series’ history”, and they only list 9 in the article and trailer, so maybe it will be one of the versions not listed?

thingsiplay,

Looks like I was spreading misinformation once again. From their official website: www.digitaleclipse.com/games/tetrisforever there is a screenshot from the GB version: …website-files.com/…/66ccd3a3b7bac97b72db3979_tet…

theangriestbird,

Not to burst your bubble, but that is a screenshot of the “Time Warp” mode from the trailer. Although if they built the GB style into that mode, maybe that is promising for getting the actual GB game in the collection?

DoucheBagMcSwag,

This may be true after all since Nintendo owns the Tetris license and this could be competition for switch online so perhaps they didn’t want to agree to the full GB version

thingsiplay,

But they have the NES / Famicom version of Tetris, which is owned by Nintendo too. Unless they mean the infamous Tengen / Atari version on NES (some say its better, but there were legal trouble because of Nintendo).

GammaGames, (edited ) do gaming w Braid Anniversary Edition has ‘sold like dog sh*t’, creator Jonathan Blow says

Dang, it has a dev commentary? I think that’s worth replaying for. I’ll have to pick it up… sometime!

theangriestbird,

It’s funny because that actually makes me want it less. Jonathon Blow is infamous for getting high off his own farts.

GammaGames,

Oh absolutely, I just listened to the clip and he said they did commentary “at a much more thorough level than anybody’s ever done it” 🤔 I wonder how that could possibly be true

theangriestbird,

it’s just Blow doing DMT and talking about how no one ever thought of time rewind mechanics before him. Joe Rogan is there for some reason.

GammaGames,
Canadian_Cabinet,

I was wondering where I recognized his name! He also made the Witness, and had similar complaints about his audience

Midnitte,

Sounds like he really misunderstood the old “customer is always right” adage.

I’m not a good Tetris player but that shirt hurts my eyes

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

Dolby Surround is just weird to me. Why no just use multichannel wav/flac/etc?

kerrigan778,

Most people have just two speakers, and if you have headphones a good stereo surround software can actually be even better than the surround from multichannel

@mlg@lemmy.world avatar

This scrub is why Brawl ran in slow motion and included random tripping because the 5 melee players scared him with enjoyable competitive gameplay.

It’s probably because they didn’t want to pay Dolby licensing fees, not because it makes a 2 second difference in the loading screen.

even see how this would affect the loading screen considering I run live AC3 encoding on an old laptop much older than the switch and it has zero effect on the boot and login time. nvm it was a GC game.

Basically every Wii game shipped with Dolby Digital no issue.
