spike, w Final Fantasy 16 sales did not meet high expectations, says Square Enix president
@spike@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Also only releasing on one console is a relict of the past and misses out on so many sales.

We have the technology to compile to every current gen console + pc with the right engines. Square should release their games for all consoles at once.

combustible_lemon_engineer,

For Series X sure. Given it performance issues on PS5 getting it to run on the Series S might have been pretty challenging.

Darkaga,

And they're not allowed to release it unless on the X if didn't run on the S. See: Baulder's Gate 3

But then how will Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo ensure you have to buy their console to play their IPs?

spike,
@spike@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Actual Good Hardware for a reasonable price. Or gimmick control schemes like the ps vita, Wii (U) or occasionally the Switch. I loved the first “The World Ends With You” on the NDS, tried emulating it, but the control scheme without a touch screen and the physical buttons are so weird, I bought a 3DS to relive that masterpiece since my DS Lite died.

While it’s a little more complicated than just compiling the code for multiple platforms, I do agree that the effort would have been worth it

The Witcher 3 is one of the best selling games ever, and is considered by critics and fans alike to be one of the best games of its genre ever. This guy is a fucking clown.

Yes, came here to say this. Thank you for your services. American executive never own any failures. Claw back their bonuses, fucking brain piece of shits can't even do their jobs anymore.

Arcane_Trixster,

This is a Polish executive. You’re just parroting other’s opinions.

Well good to know that not only Americans suck this bad... kinda refreshing actually. Either why is u hurt tho?

Yea but that’s only because the game has lots of pretty, moving pictures. And the books have pretty covers.

I’m American, so I can’t even read. I noticed some symbols in the show that could be conceived as trying to impart words or ideas, and it just turned me right off.

You might be asking yourself: “If I can’t read, then how did I understand and respond to this topic?”, and I would then respond: “SHUT UP VOICES IN MY HEAD!”

that_one_guy,

Great comment, but could have used a more realistic scenario of using a screen reader/dictation software to comment. It’s okay though, I get that you needed to simplify it for the American audiences.

@Ganondorf@kbin.social avatar

I have a former best friend who still somehow finds a way to fanboy over Musk, despite the excessive information about him and actions he's taken. All very public and easy to find information, yet never swayed the guy's opinion and the last time we talked about it he was still fanboying. It really should have been a warning sign of things to come with that friendship. Truly, only mentally and emotionally inept losers are still on Musk's side and the former friend's the only person I know who still has a favorable opinion of Musk.

Tough luck man. Have been in this situation a couple times.

Current working theory is that the reason are our relationship templates formed in childhood.

If someone has had abusive and/or gaslighting role models early on, they will not avert or even seek narcissistic relationships. I have been in this situation for a long time and am working for years to get rid of it.

This is what I think happens with people liking clear cut narcissists like musk and having friends who „somehow“ like him.

TwilightVulpine,

Sometimes people flock to a figure because they see them as a struggling underdog challenging the whole world.

But even that angle kinda falls apart when you remember that this guy is the wealthiest person in the world. He's not a brave rebel. He's not even taking a stance on something important, though he very well could, with his money.

That’s not a review bomb, you guys aren’t victims. That’s gamers telling you to fuck off with lies, under delivering, treating your employees like shit, micro transactions and battle passes

Rodsterlings_cig, w Disco Elysium for $12 may be the best $12 you ever spend on games in your life

A friendly reminder that the creators in the past have asked those interested in the game to pirate it instead, though of course I do not endorse such activities.

Gotcha. I'm definitely not about to fire up qBittorrent right now and use it, because that would be illegal.

I would also definitely not seed anything as well, especially when utilizing a VPN.

absquatulate, w Subnautica 2 will be a live service game

Much-needed clarifications from the dev:

Hello Subnauts,

A few of you noticed some information shared online by our publisher, KRAFTON 🕵

While some of the news is exciting, we’d like to clarify:

Early Access is not intended for release in 2024, but we plan to share a lot more information later this year!

In reference to “Games-as-a-Service,” we simply plan to continually update the game for many years to come, just like the previous two Subnautica games. Think our Early Access update model, expanded. No season passes. No battle passes. No subscription.

The game is not multiplayer-focused. Co-op will be an entirely optional way to play the game. You’ll be able to enjoy the game as a single-player.

As always, we are so proud and incredibly grateful to have such a passionate and engaged community, who love the Subnautica games deeply.

Thanks for keeping an eye out for any news about our progress on the next game.

We’re so excited to show you what we’ve been working on and hope that you love it as much as we do.

– The Subnautica Team

RandomStickman,
@RandomStickman@kbin.social avatar

They definitely shouldn't've used the term “Games-as-a-Service”

Deceptichum,
@Deceptichum@kbin.social avatar

It doesn't sit right, why they would use that full well knowing what it actually entails?

This feels more like PR damage control, instead of just saying its not GaaS and the claims were a mistake.

Think our Early Access update model, expanded. No season passes. No battle passes. No subscription.

No DLC, no monthly paid “expansion” content packs?

A very specific set of no’s and a very clear yes to GaaS…

verysoft, (edited )

They haven't fucked us over so far with DLC, MTX or any bullshit with their previous entries, so no reason to believe they will do here, they are very open with their development and talking to the community. So until they actually screw us over, it's unfair to pretend we are being.

It just sounds like a miscommunication/misuse of the term by KRAFTON, Unknown Worlds then came out to clarify. We will just have to wait and see, we can get actually angry once we know there's going to be some bullshit involved.

The only current downside to the next Subnautica is that it's going to be built on UE5, I just hope they manage to avoid all the shortcuts.

WHYAREWEALLCAPS,

Shortcuts?

verysoft,

A lot of UE games are low performance or use shit features (like TAA). You can make something which "looks good" quickly with the engine and a lot of devs do just that instead of taking their time to tweak things for better performance or visual fidelity. So instead we get stuck with blurry messes.

@peter@feddit.uk avatar

Live service is extremely appealing to investors and business people

grue,

It feels like the developer and the publisher not being on the same page to me.

olafurp,

Yeah it sounds like it would be a subscription and you’d have to subscribe to get updates.

all-knight-party,
@all-knight-party@kbin.run avatar

Well, they failed to answer one more huge question when it comes to GaaS... Is it always online DRM?

On console platforms like the Switch, I can play Subnautica offline anywhere, and though the second game is likely far outside the switch's capabilities, I think DRM model is an important thing to clarify when it comes to GaaS definition.

M1st3rM,

Thank you that really was a much needed clarification. I was really sad when I read the title

When you look at who the Unity board of Directors is friends with (Musk), this makes a lot more sense.

The EU is about to take their pound of flesh for this.
