Former PlayStation exec says "$70 or $80" games are a "steal": "As long as people choose carefully how they spend their money, I don't think they should be complaining" (tech.yahoo.com) angielski

It feels to me like the closer we get to the Nintendo Switch 2’s June launch and the, apparently, $80 games associated with it, the more people are fighting with themselves over what is and isn’t worth it. But at least Sony veteran and previous head of PlayStation Indies Shuhei Yoshida is free from inner turmoil – he...

jmcs,

That’s not inflation works. Inflation shouldn’t apply to everything at the same rate.

My first computer costed the equivalent to 1000 euros. Do you think the average desktop should cost 3000?

jmcs,

Brand recognition. Which apparently is the only thing that matters these days.

jmcs,

Until Nintendo says they can’t.

jmcs,

What big shift do you expect? Even regarding 3D realism we are way past the point of diminishing returns in terms of development costs.

jmcs,

I think they just figured out they can offload the modernization of old games to the community. People will still have to buy the game to get the assets needed to play it legally.

jmcs,

Weird, every time I went to my local GameStop before it closed it looked like a diversity fair.

jmcs,

That would be fine and dandy if games weren’t routinely released as a buggy unfinished and unfinishable mess.

jmcs,

One of my economy professors in university put it as “no one wears a Rolex to have a very accurate wristwatch”.

There are benefits to buying “premium” brands in terms of quality and durability but after you get into the “luxury”/“designer” range it’s all about displaying wealth.

jmcs,

What 8GB. Some of the best games ever fit in a floppy disk (a real life save icon for the gen z people around here).

jmcs,

It’s a joke and I didn’t intend it to be condescending.

jmcs,

I need the rest of the space for my humongous demos collection.

jmcs,

Sometime in 3025.

jmcs,

I’m old enough to remember the Kickstarter campaign. I lost track of how many release dates flew by since then.

jmcs, (edited )

In the 1990s the only Sonic level with snowboarding was Ice Cap zone.

jmcs,

If you consider inflation, $60 in 2024 is worth almost the same as $50 in 2011.

jmcs,

You mean the cardboard character that’s the counterpart to another cardboard character and that only exists because Wario needed a doubles partner in Mario Tennis? Even his name is an afterthought, why would Nintendo suddenly start caring enough to give him a game?

jmcs,

I remembered about that post while writing my comment but couldn’t find it. I didn’t know the sequel but both explain the problem of Waluigi as a character, Nintendo sees him as filler and he’s more useful for them as such. If they start fleshing him out he’ll be less useful in other contexts… Which is also a apt metaphor for why conservative societies want people to fit faceless molds

jmcs,

Ironically, using Ruigi for Waluigi in English (as Ruin+Luigi) would sound less lazy.

jmcs,

That’s definitely not the case for Switch emulators.

jmcs,

They also shut down Yuzu forks using the DMCA. If they paid Ryujinx’s dev it was the equivalent of the Mafia bribing a judge while waving a picture of his family.

jmcs,

It’s not a coincidence it happened on the same day. After the first studio did their announcement the others kind of had to come forward to lay their claim.

jmcs,

Is it just me, or the fabric in the the shirt look better in the old model? At least in that screenshot it looks more like something that was handmade Vs the remake model (look at the end of the sleeves for example)

Elon Musk destroys astronomy

Observations with the LOFAR (Low Frequency Array) radio telescope last year showed that first generation Starlink satellites emit unintended radio waves that can hinder astronomical observations. New observations with the LOFAR radio telescope, the biggest radio telescope on Earth observing at low frequencies, have shown that...

jmcs,

Fiber is dirty cheap, just saying. If you consider externalities, much cheaper than starlink. You just want us to subsidise your lifestyle.

jmcs,

If it reaches the threshold the European Comission is forced to formally answer to it, which requires them do a full review of the subject and this greatly increases the probability of something being done.

Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Addresses Studio Closures (www.ign.com)

“The closure of any team is hard obviously on the individuals there, hard on the team,” Spencer said. "I haven’t been talking publicly about this, because right now is the time for us to focus on the team and the individuals. It’s obviously a decision that’s very hard on them, and I want to make sure through severance...

jmcs,

Some of them were still doing fine, just not triple the profits well.

jmcs,

Most stories fall into one of a few archetypes at least since the time of the Epic of Gilgamesh.

jmcs,

If you give LLMs that much latitude you are going to have your NPCs spread conspiracy theories and fascist crap left and right in your game and a PR crisis on your hands.

jmcs,

Don’t give Sony any ideas. But yes, studios should get two choices, either open up the server or fully refund every single cent at least to the players that played the game in the year before the shutdown was announced (just so they don’t say they don’t have to put a shitload of effort on a dead game).

The same should apply to all digital sales.

jmcs,

The investors are the ones forgetting that. CEOs work for the investors not for the customers.

Now, a good CEO will be able to manage upwards and throw around things like reputational damage and consumer trust to convince to keep the investors focused on the long term in order to protect the company (and the investors uhh… investment). The problem in the gaming industry is that time and time again gamers show that there’s no such thing as reputational damage with games since there are enough people building their personality around a gaming franchise that even studios with a reputation for consistently putting out mediocre unoriginal crap can count on a mountain of pre-orders.

jmcs,

We were calling them Doom-clones before FPS became a thing, maybe it’s time to bring it back as a sub category.

jmcs,

Any of them would be more accurate than Boomer shooter.

jmcs,

The PS2 can run linux. And the PS3 could run Linux too before Sony killed it.

jmcs,

If the studios are profitable, it was still a good business decision. A bad business decision would be to tank a profitable studio to prop up a struggling hardware platform.

Besides, exclusives are mostly bad for the players, so if companies decide that supporting multiple platforms is the best strategy for them, it’s also better for us.

jmcs,

IQ and other intelligence measurements usually follow a normal distribution though.

jmcs,

Do you need to Rewind? Pay $4.99. Don’t want to? Well, enjoy the beginning of the game again.

jmcs,

Don’t worry they will release a $70 upgrade that tones it down soon.

jmcs,

I really don’t understand CoD fans.

jmcs,

*Devs working in Poland. Unions in Europe are per profession or economic sector not per company.

jmcs,

If they stored the hashed password this thread wouldn’t exist.

Elon Musk demanded a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077 while wielding a 200 year old gun: "I was armed but not dangerous" (www.pcgamer.com)

While Elon’s then-partner Grimes was recording her part in the game as cyborg popstar Lizzy Wizzy, the erratic tech billionaire turned up with an antique firearm to “insist” on being included in the game. “The studio guys were like sweating,” Grimes is quoted as saying. Musk adds “I told them that I was armed but not...

jmcs,

Or put his mummified corpse as an Arasaka spoil of the corporate war.

jmcs,

You don’t read the ToS of all the services you use 3 times before each time you use them? I’m shocked and appalled./s

jmcs,

This still requires games to track all the devices they are installed in and phone home.

jmcs,

He’s actually late Gen X, though he has a certain… fondness for boomers.

jmcs,

The game could read the Mac address and send it. It would probably violate GDPR because it’s not required for the game to perform its function, but it’s technically trivial.

jmcs,

And they tried to pivot by saying it would be by device forcing devs to collect and share their users’ data.

jmcs, (edited )

Like Chris is “working” for free…

jmcs,

That’s not what the article says, the values in the patent are an example. It’s not out of realm of possibility to have something that can match at least the Series S when docked while still supporting a portable mode.
