‘There will always be people like you’: Tekken boss blasts ‘disrespectful’ fan for criticising character’s new look (www.videogameschronicle.com) angielski

Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada has criticised a fan, and “people like them”, for complaining about a returning character’s updated appearance.

echodot,

Yeah I thought that. It would have been quite funny if it insulted you.

echodot,

It sounds like your company could have sued them into oblivion. It’s a violated a non-disclosure agreement that should be the end of their company.

echodot,

It’s that idiotic classification system that’s the problem. A game is considered to be gambling game if it involves cards.

echodot,

No HR don’t allow enjoyment of corporate boobs. They kick you out at the office for that kind of thing.

Unless you are the manager your obviously, oh ironically you work in the games industry.

echodot,

They tried to claim it taught you how to gamble. Seriously that was their argument.

So clearly they didn’t play the game because if you actually turned up to a casino and tried to play like that they kick you out.

echodot,

If other games can have poker or other cards games where the characters are gambling and not have that influence their shit

I doubt it though because the game doesn’t have any gambling in it at all. It just uses the imagery of poker, that’s it. I have no more of an idea how to play poker now than they did before spending 900 Brazilian hours on the game.

echodot,

Oh he invented agile did he. I already hate him.

Agile just means that you don’t have a project plan, but you see that’s okay because you planned not to have a project plan, and therefore it’s totally fine.

I’m happy to say I’ve never heard of the others.

echodot,

So you’re referring to things like “number go up” and Juice, because literally every game does that.

echodot,

The guy is clearly an idiot. He made this stupid comment and he can’t justify it but rather than admit that it’s a stupid comment and he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, he’s trying to back it up in some bizarre way with this mumbo jumbo non-logic.

After Years of Struggling To Be Noticed, My Indie Game Was Covered By VICE (lemmy.world) angielski

For context : have no idea how they found about it, but I love that they are illuminating indie games. And VICE.com has 12 million monthly readers. This is insane for me , because for a long time I was struggling for the game to be noticed. (If you want to follow how development of the game is going, a simple wishlist on Steam...

echodot,

Yeah I mean it’s why I’m here. I’m much more interested in finding out about indie games then AAA games, if only because I probably already know about the AAA games. Especially because they’re apparently AAAA these days, and presumably some of that budget includes advertising.

echodot,

Also I need to use Windows anyway for work so it’s going to be dual booted anyway and if it’s going to be dual booted anyway then the entire “supporting them” argument is irrelevant.

Also right-wing fascists developed Lemmy, so a little bit of worldview consistency would be nice

echodot,

Yeah I don’t want to find out about games in this game community.

echodot,

You can always tell when a game has been ported over from PC due to the fact the game takes up the whole screen.

echodot,

If you see Google launch a “free game only” store for PC, get worried.

I would be astonished if there was anything good on it though. If you are going to make a microtransaction game you probably don’t want to put a lot of effort into it because people won’t play it for more than about a week. This stuff’s only profitable if you can shovel new games out of the door on a regular basis.

echodot,

Well apart from anything else rare cards actually are worth real money. But there’s no legitimate way to sell loop boxes if you decide you want to get out of it.

echodot,

But trading cards are real physical things that you can sell loot boxes and virtual goods that will disappear if the game developers ever decide that they’ll go and you also can’t sell them.

The problem with the CS go gambling site was that that was an extra thing on top of the skins. The gambling was added by a third party.

No one’s gambling with Pokémon cards.

echodot,

I think it’s because they’ve started designing games that use PS5 as the minimum standard for hardware requirements.

I don’t mind about Ray tracing being a requirement in theory I just think that they’re doing it about 5 years too early. If they just waited until Real-Time Ray tracing had been around long enough that some cards had hit the second hand market it wouldn’t be so bad

echodot,

I imagine there will be a premium version that’s $100 plus but I can’t imagine that they’ll risk trying to sell it at that price for the base version. People aren’t exactly running around with disposable income right now, at least in the US.

echodot,

Well that’s weird because they completely obliterated that trust with the whole GTA online thing.

What happened to all of the expansion content on the single player they promised?

echodot,

Yeah but they don’t cost $100

echodot,

I don’t know though you’ve got to consider your target audience and their income method. The income method for the target audience of pokemon games is asking their parents.

echodot,

One of the big problems about the original petition was that it had a focus on gaming. But this is a problem in the entire software industry, and as much as gaming is probably the more serious concern for the majority of people, it is considered by the government to be somewhat unimportant. Corporate software though has a more mature image, and so is more likely to be considered.

Any software that is sold by a company should be open sourced if the company chooses to end support. Either because the company goes out of business or because they just decide it’s no longer profitable to continue updating the software, and yes, this does include older versions of iOS.

A rising tide and all that.

echodot,

Even if you just looked at the screenshot it’s pretty clear that’s not what the petition is about. Could you go away and do literally one seconds worth of research, and then come back and explain why you made such a brainless comment.

echodot,

That’s the funny thing about all of this it wouldn’t cost the company a single penny. All they’d have to do is open source their code that’s it.

echodot,

No company ever sells games with the disclaimer that they might stop supporting those games at some arbitrary point in the future they sell the games with the understanding that you are purchasing a product that you will own after you give the company the required amount of money.

They are not selling you a limited term license, they are selling you a product. They should not be allowed to then change their minds after the fact without compensating the customer.

echodot,

God, what an awful thought

echodot,

I love how the layout is still the same.

echodot,

It’s Nintendo, It didn’t like any of their consoles have been particularly sophisticated for their time. We pretty much know everything about the new switch already, because they’re not going to reveal any new tech, because they never reveal any new tech.

echodot,

This is what fallout would look like if it was in a modern game engine.

Players Actually Sent Me 500 Word Essays For My Narrative Game (Full Story): (lemmy.world) angielski

Hey today I wanted to show something amazing from the Stanley Parable-inspired game I’m developing. Might be a long read so bare with me: at the end of my demo The Narrator is annoyed that the player presses The Button (in a game called Do Not Press The Button)! So he demands the player to send a 500 word essay on why they...

echodot,

No that’s just Steam looks like these days. See they pivoted to being a low resolution image host.

echodot,

Shadow of the Colossus is a PS3 game right? I assume it is because I’ve never played it and the PS3 was the only PlayStation I never had. Also the same reason I never played Last Of Us.

As far as I’m aware there has never been a sequel, I know there’s been remakes but never an actual sequel. Seems like a really odd game to pick, when there are so many actually currently developed titles that have better name recognition.

echodot,

Are you sure you live in the same universe as the rest of us?

None of them are mobile games. Many of them are on Steam right now and have been available on Steam for months.

echodot,

You can disagree with a list without being insulting who created the list.

echodot,

Is there a way to actually read the article without having to be exposed to whatever the drug fueled hellscape that website is?

echodot,

The game of the year was a cutesy cartoon game about a robot. I don’t think there’s a problem here.

echodot,

Yeah I did read the article. That’s why I know what the article is about, and the fact that he’s complaining about graphical fidelity in games and not getting the profit benefit. clearly AAA studios aren’t actually having this issue because, like I said, the winner of the game awards this year was a cartoony game, so clearly they are well aware that graphics aren’t everything.

echodot,

Definitely Minecraft. I don’t play it much anymore but when it was a kid I used to play it all the time.

Probably being paying that game on and off for 15 years. I have to save a pocket money in order to buy it, I think it was about £12, no I have a mortgage.

echodot,

One of the big advantages of steam and online storefronts in general is that it bypasses PEGI / ESRB and their unnecessary Draconian nonsense.

echodot,

I can kind of understand Wolfenstein, as Germany does seem to have this thing where they do and also don’t want to face their past.

But Dying light is a generic zombie game.

echodot,

I honestly think it would be easier to just list games that they allow. I suppose Germans are really into Tetris or something since that’s apparently the only acceptable game.

echodot,

I’ve said it before. Well they need to replace it with a “pal decahedron”. You have to get real close to realize it isn’t a sphere.

echodot,

At one point didn’t a company have a patent over an interactive loading screen?

Which is why loading screens in games have been boring for years, because actually having any kind of thing to do while the game loads is apparently banned.

echodot,

Oh well I’m definitely going to get the game then. I was concerned that it wouldn’t be maximally profitable for shareholders.

I don’t need to know anything about the gameplay just that someone who isn’t me will make a lot of money out of this.

echodot,

That’s my big problem with the online mode as well. They could have actually made it fun but it’s totally unplayable because they don’t do anything about hackers while at the same time even by legitimate means giving players access to fucking sci-fi death machines.

I’m so sick of spawning in and instantly getting blown up by a flying motorcycle with infinite rockets. That’s not even fun gameplay for the person the flying motorcycle.

echodot,

Well technically we’ve had it confirmed all the way up to the PS9. Which presumably will release alongside somehow the Xbox X because Microsoft can’t name a product to save their life

echodot,

You know there are people with families of the own now who were born after that meme came out, and they still use it.

echodot,

echodot,

They really should because the law has already decided that AI isn’t an independent entity, and is essentially just a computer program.

So whoever initiated the AI is ultimately responsible for its behavior, they can’t claim the AI malfunctioned because they chose not to bother having any human oversight, they knew that this was always a possibility and still they took responsibility for it.
