The current Switch still selling as much as it does proves that performance doesn’t really matter.

Krafton did say they wanted a Hi-Fi Rush 2, as far as I know.

Say about them what you will, but good on them for stepping in and preventing Microsoft from shutting the studio down.

It’s a gift link?

Maybe your add-ins ‘cleaned’ the link somehow, but if you use the full one you can read the article.

It’s going to be based on user votes, and given just how popular that game was I don’t think it unlikely to win.

Black Myth Wukong had one of the highest concurrent player counts of Steam of all time. The game was very popular in China.

Meanwhile Astrobot’s sales figures were lacklustre, according to some reports.

Not entirely sure about the European PEGI, but the American ESRB is funded by the same companies that it regulates. It was created after the outcry about violent games and was the industry self-regulating to avoid the government getting more involved.

It is a lobby group for the industry, for better and in this case very much for worse.

I assume PEGI is little different.

tb_,
@tb_@lemmy.world avatar

but… Looks like they don’t audit so good, if this article is evidence

That’s the whole issue with it being a lobby group. It makes them a ton of money, so they are incentivised against making a rating for it because that would draw more attention/limit sales.

And that’s where the whole government lobbying part comes in.

tb_,
@tb_@lemmy.world avatar

I largely agree, but the interests have gotten misaligned. Back then it was the threat of regulation which changed things up, I think the governments should do a little more of that.

The “EA Originals” that they have put out have mostly been fairly solid, Hazelight’s games especially so.

Eternals of Aveum had its fair share of flaws, but it was a complete package.

Though, because it is EA, I cannot help but wonder if/when they’ll pull the switcharoo

Might as well add those details to your comment.

It does have back buttons, which is why it’s unlikely to launch in the west as Scuf (owned by Corsair) is a major patent troll when it comes to those. That’s also the reason for the original Steam controller no longer being released.

The Hori one is launching at the end of this month, if I recall correctly. I might look into importing it once it does.

I think the Halo show could’ve been much more interesting too if they focused on someone not the main character of the games.

But no, gotta keep the most recognizable character

Nordic Games bought what remained of THQ back in the day when the latter went bankrupt. (THQ used to be comparable to the likes of EA and Ubisoft before they made some poor decisions)

The holdings company behind THQ Nordic rebranded into Embracer some years ago.

Piranha Bytes GmbH was a German video game developer based in Essen. It was best known for their Gothic and Risen series of role-playing video games.

Embracer has reportedly closed Elex developer Piranha Bytes

Fortunately, the remake is being made by THQ Nordic.

How is that fortunate though?

THQ Nordic, the company which became Embracer, bought Piranha Bytes, shuttered the studio when they fucked up, and is now using their IP for a remake?

Dev of cancelled Life By You game shares some information, including just two weeks notice of cancellation after being given the thumbs-up a few weeks prior (www.linkedin.com)

I cannot share specific numbers, but I can say that we had an internal metric we were aiming for that had been approved, and that we exceeded that number by a significant portion. We also got a thumbs up a few weeks before launch.

@tb_@lemmy.world avatar

Disastrous, unoptimized launch. Paid DLC whilst the game was still full of performance issues (DLC which was later made free, after outcry. But their hand was shown).

Probably much more, but those are the two big things I remember.

tb_,
@tb_@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah. And consider the verification process games have to go through on consoles, probably easier to do it all in one big update.

I keep avoiding RPS links for that reason.

The TPM is a feature of the motherboard, not the CPU (generally).

You can even get separate TPM modules to plug into your MoBo, if I’m not mistaken.

They need admin permissions to install, not to launch.

But, you know, so does basically any other application you install.

You may get a second pop-up when it begins installing the anti-cheat, but that depends on how the application is configured.

Ubisoft Connect gives me three (!) separate pop-ups whenever it has an update. (or at least it used to).

So if this wholly relies on

No, it doesn’t. But you stopped watching the video.

That said, it is a legitimate argument. Just like “it’s cool to be Spider-man” is a reason to pick up Insomniac’s recent games.

SkillUp argues that in a vacuum, and for a reduced price, Skull and Bones is a decently functional game. But it doesn’t exist in a vacuum and Black Flag is better in (almost) every way.

tb_,
@tb_@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a reasonable argument. Perhaps my initial comment was a bit mean.

What I find difficult is that it is a pirate game, very clearly. If you don’t enjoy the pirate theme, what were you expecting to get from a review like such?
Perhaps you’re a fan of naval combat. Which, fair.

Literally Starfield.

I mean, it likely will come to PC, but I doubt it will be on PlayStation.

It’s included in the Netflix subscription so no additional cost for subscribers.

Perhaps, but the seasonal events “complete this grind now or get locked out forever” FOMO bs is very much a new thing, at least in how widespread it is.

In, idk, classic Final Fantasy games you could quit whenever and resume exactly where you left off months down the line. Today games demand your attention like they never really did before.

On Samsung phones you can make stickers just the same way you can on iPhone, with the stock gallery app.

Dunno about Google Photos.

Am a fan too. I’d mention YongYea here, but the unorganized unscripted way in which he makes 20 minute videos on every topic really kills it for me.

SkillUp’s weekly summary is much nicer.

Edit: remembered a word

But that still means they had your plaintext password at some point.

Edit: which, as some replies suggest, may not actually be much of an issue.
I’m still skeptical about them returning it, however.
