Sony’s problems are twofold:

• They are charging an absurd amount of money for a game console
• They are selling a game console that has practically no first party games for it.

If they had plenty of the latter, they could weather this. But there are still games releasing for the PS4, and they have had 1, maybe 2 PS5 releases that would qualify as first party this year (that don’t bubble down to PC).

I was hoping the launch of Classic would bring back classic loot rules and with it, prime opportunities for very public breakdowns during raids. It did not.

Really missed an opportunity here, Blizzard.

Sorry but Kotaku has always been 100% garbage, either bad writing, way behind the news, or both at the same time.

Except if its labor related, they immediately remember how to write.

Indie games do not get the coverage or support that the AAAs do from the console vendors. If the AAAs collapsed, the console vendors would lose their bottom line. Simple as.

Except Nintendo, because they still offer cheap SDKs.

At the end of the day, the editors will have to answer to not receiving access to Valve for statements or tips moving forward.

Adversarial journalism is always spun as “journalism out of line” when this is the foundation of all journalism.

Valve got burned many ages ago with Half-Life 2 and they only go to press about a game when it’s in the final phases of development, to release.

Polygon is Vox’s gaming site and I imagine the shitlist will extend to all Vox properties. So the editors at Polygon now have another department to blame for their woes.

He did not. Chris Vrenna who was a NIN collaborator did. Trent was involved early in development but time commitments and mismanagement forced him to withdraw.

Didn’t that also happen to Mick Gordon

They literally rushed the current gen out to get ahead of the raytracing fad when it was still nascent, and now Nvidia doesn’t give two shits about it to go play with Gen AI in traffic. This is the first time the industry was in a stare with PC, and they blinked first.

I still don’t see what Raytracing has done for gaming besides marginally better reflections at a greater cost to the consumer. We’ve solved all our photo realism and lighting problems with PBR.

Xbox is dead as a console, but will live on as Game Pass on PC, Smart TVs, Portable, and an eventual ARM puck you bring with you.

The industry is going to be in a weird place where Sony and Nintendo are the only first parties and hardware vendors. Its too costly for an upstart, they can just focus on the PC.

First off I didnt know Braid was remastered until now and secondly Jonathan is an anti vaxxer which means I’m not gonna give you any money.

And I thought Braid wasn’t very engaging when I first played it ages ago so I’m not really interested now. Apparently Jonathan has been spending his free time working on a programming language that isn’t public yet (for a while now) and just talking a lot of shit on X/Twitter.

No, the fanbase is regressing, but they’re also not getting products that suit their tastes. There’s a lot of stuff to play that’s different, and the people that removed go back to the dwindingly bad quality AAA Live Service slop. They’re not for us. When the AAA bubble bursts, they’ll fuck off to another form of media.

Companies can leverage CBAs to “fix” pay scales well below CPI or other metrics by forcing extensive negotiation as a way to sell down an agreement. Similarly, they can use agreements to create separate classes, for example: the SAG/AFTRA agreement for voice actors with all the Gen AI exemptions.

Boy there’s a strong correlation between being a streamer/YouTuber/online video creator and being a sex pest.

He also is “stepping away” for a while which I guess is code for “CAA can’t save me” so I guess in six months we get another conservative podcaster on X, and a new KiwiFarms thread for Hershel “Dr Disrespect” Beahm.

I have a pillow sack full of nickels at this point, which leads me to think we have a serious problem with streaming/youtubing as a career.

I gotta keep it real with you: Nothing about the trailer looks interesting to me. My viewpoints on Doom are pretty colored due to Mick Gordon’s claims and the poor combat and traversal loops in Eternal.

At least its not Doom 3 all over again.
