Ilikepornaddict, do games w The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria - 13 Minutes of Exclusive Gameplay | gamescom 2023

Are they serious with this? This is a joke right? No way someone looks at that and say “yep, this looks awesome for 2023”. I’ll pay $10 for this, only because I’m a huge lotr fan, but $10 is my upper limit for what I just saw.

newthrowaway20,

Well if that gollum game is any indication, and the Amazon show, the rights owners for LOTR don’t give a fuck about how their property gets used and abused. I expect a lot more shovelware in the future.

Ilikepornaddict,

Guess I’ll have to enjoy what’s been made thus far, and accept that there likely won’t be anything good made in the future.

Chariotwheel,

Copyright for the first Middle Earth starts running out in 2032, 95 years after The Hobbit was published. Probably want to milk this out of money while they still can, even if it's for scraps.

The gameplay better be GotY-level of enjoyable to justify that level of jank.

Bonskreeskreeskree, do games w Gameplay Reveal Trailer | Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III

Remember when they heavily implied mw2 waa going to be a 2 year game up to launch, then quickly back pedaled a month in to launch? Remember when they had multiple multiplayer maps in the game from day 1 launch that STILL have yet to appear in multiplayer? Remember when they filled warzone with at least 6 throwback maps that have still never been added to multiplayer?

Do not buy this game. If you are going to buy it, do not pre order it. If you’re determined to get early access beta then wait until the very last second to pre order it, then cancel your pre order after the beta. Speak with your goddamm dollars and stop throwing money at the largest video game conglomerate in the world just to bitch about the half assed product they’ll have waiting on you.

Hubi,

I always enjoyed the single player campaigns during the Xbox 360 era, so the “remade” trilogy is making me a bit nostalgic. Not nostalgic enough to pay 60 (?) Euros for a maximum of 8 hours of game time though.

forgotaboutlaye,

If you pre-order and then cancel, would you keep access to Soap in Warzone?

Bonskreeskreeskree,

Probably. In the past once it’s in your account, it’s yours

Same, one of my favourite games of all time!

I’ve always thought that the only solution to this problem is being able to reverse engineering central servers and thus being effectively being able to pirate online only games.

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

It’s an unreliable solution, because there’s no guarantee that even dedicated and talented individuals will be able to reverse engineer every online server, if that game has those individuals in its customer base in the first place. The solution seems to be either legislation, which this campaign is seeking, or for the market to outright reject online-only games, which it isn’t doing. I don’t even really have an alternative to online-only games in some genres, like FPS for instance, to send my dollars toward instead; sports games are in a similar position, since the sports organizations all signed exclusivity contracts.

The solution is legislation, as without that, we can’t expect companies to decide to release either the executables or source code for running the servers, other than a handful looking to get some attention and goodwill.

atro_city,

Which is exactly what the EU Citizen's Initiative is about 👌

chrislowles,

Ross mentions reverse engineering towards the end of the vid so it’s definitely top of mind now for the future of the initiative, bar rebooting it with someone else. Agreed that it’s really the only alternative when the industry is as steeped in back alley deals and skeevy dishonest commentary as it is.

normalexit,

Reverse engineering the server is reverse engineering the whole game. It’s going to require skilled engineers and a significant time investment. It may be possible, but not practical.

Also, the client will likely verify it is talking to a legitimate server by checking a certificate, so you may also have to hack the client too.

At some point you’re better off making your own game with hookers and blackjack.

For the fighting game nerds out there: an interview on IGN confirmed that there are KI breakers during active tags, and combos will be limited in similar ways to Killer Instinct, meaning a combo meter rather than hitstun decay. If you don’t know what that means, don’t worry about it; this comment wasn’t for you. These were the answers I was looking for, and now this is my most anticipated fighting game despite having no familiarity with the source material.

jawa22,

I have bought a new fighting game in quite a while after really disliking SF 5. Thanks for this, I’ll at least check put a demo I’d there is one.

Titan Quest was my favorite Diablo clone. I hope the second one lives up to its legacy.

etchinghillside,

Did we have many options then? I vaguely recall Nox.

reseller_pledge609,

Grim Dawn is a similar concept with a different story if you’re looking for something similar as well.

Pretty sure some of the original Titan Quest team worked on it if I remember correctly.

Tentatively curious.

What was shown of the hotel reminds me of REVII. I’m not sure how it ties to Raccoon, aside from the fact that the protagonist is the daughter of a character from Outbreak, but Raccoon City post-nuke is an interesting setting to explore — and regular zombies seem to be a returning enemy? I’m not sure if they are planning to have flashback sequences during the outbreak, or if the zombies will make an appearance in the present day timeline).

Happy to see a new MC. Ethan was okay-ish but painfully bland, I hope she’ll be more interesting.

Gooner bait trailer makes me hope this thing flops.

The CUBE, a new multiplayer RPG shooter

… and I’m completely disinterested.

Stovetop,

Also color me disinterested.

I thought it was actually going to be a novel take on arena shooter formats, with a moving game map that would bring in new parts of a stage over time as others disappear. But the more I learned about it, the less interested I became.

So if anyone is looking to make a Rubik’s cube arena shooter, the market is still open.

I was hoping this delayed the Cube movie from 1997.

What does it matter what it was running on? This looks pre rendered and anything pre rendered will look good even on a potato. Case in point Blizzard’s old pre renders in warcraft and diablo.

Don’t get me wrong, i’m excited for new witcher, just be realistic on the requirements. I’d rather not have another cyberpunk ps4 fiasco.

simple,

It’s running in real time.

Hadriscus,

Well it is so you know you’re going to get something similar if you own a ps5
