i would feel okay about it if the energy cost of AI wasn’t so astronomical. It would be a fun quirk to play an open-world game full of characters that can sort of hold a conversation with you like this. But if we have to boil oceans to do it (and we still do as of this writing), then it just seems beyond frivolous. I love video games, but nothing in a video game is important enough to justify that energy cost.
hell yeah the rumors is true. Well it LOOKS solid, but i don’t know how much actual info there was to glean out of that video. This is coming from a different studio than the people that brought you THPS 1+2, so it remains to be seen if Iron Galaxy can pull off the same kind of loving remake that Vicarious Visions gave us in 1+2. I think Iron Galaxy was responsible for the Killer Instinct reboot, so we know they have some cred on bringing old games back to life.
I saw a YT comment that said “I feel like this is like peeking at your presents before Christmas then pretending to be surprised on Christmas day” and that’s where I’m at. Basically all rumors confirmed, in the best way. Looking forward to those magnetic joycons 🙏
i think you’re right, but I think they’re kind of just facing reality. Games cost too much to make, and they aren’t making enough on hardware sales to justify exclusivity. Although, I think the door is still open for them to stay in the console space, and maybe even overtake Sony in the next gen if some weird stuff happens between now and then. More likely, I think they just become another Sega like you said, except they still sell a small batch of hardware on the side, for people that want a Game Pass console.
i heard very similar remarks on Jeff Gerstmann’s podcast on Tuesday. He’s an old GameSpot/Giant Bomb dude. Sorry if my original reply came off as snarky in any way, reading back i can see how maybe it comes off like i’m accusing your response of being not your own.
