I liked this vid. This felt like they were doing a Nintendo Direct but with their shitposter styler of humor. It really feels like dunkey and Leah have found a good balance between coming off like a serious business, while still appealing to their existing community that follows Jason’s channel for his unique style of humor.
last i checked, it sounded like Bioware’s recent development challenges (Andromeda, Anthem, protracted dev times) came from poor leadership. I remember Jason Schrier’s retrospective highlighted that for most of Anthem’s development, there was no strong guidance from leadership, so the devs were largely just experimenting with dead-end ideas and hoping management would latch on to something and push into that direction.
So these 50 roles we are “eliminating” must be the executives and managers from that period, right? Right?
The steam deck is significantly more capable than the PS4.
Not according to Digital Foundry. In real gaming performance and tuned to PS4-level settings, you’ll see framerates slightly higher than the PS4. Tuned to Xbox Series S settings, you’ll see framerates slightly below the Series S. And all of this is mostly only possible because the Steam Deck only needs to output 720p, which is easier for a GPU than the 900p-1080p that those comparable consoles are usually targeting.
The PS4 CPU was garbage, yes, but that usually didn’t matter because most console games are not very CPU-intensive.
it’s true! but also there are some Americans that still can’t stream video to this day, and many more that can only stream video content at like 480p. Some folks commented on a Baldur’s Gate 3 thread i posted, lamenting that there is no physical copy for PS5 because their internet isn’t good enough to even attempt downloading the game. And all of this is after the last 10 years of advancements in broadband access.
I think it will make sense eventually, but I also think that Microsoft has timed this deal very deliberately. Oh, Ubisoft will have your streaming rights for the next 10 years? As in, you will get those rights back right as game-streaming is starting to finally take off?
it’s not that I want to think of that loser more than we have to, it’s that i see the title of your post on the feed and for a brief moment i think it’s a headline from a news community. Like @MagicShel said, keep it up.
I was just going to ask what the lineage was there - I also noticed the similarity to the reddit threads. Thanks for keeping the tradition alive on beehaw!
I don’t think streaming will become a big deal in gaming (at least in the US market) until the US makes substantial strides in broadband internet access. Tides are shifting, but Comcast and Cox still generally have the FCC’s nuts in a vice, so I don’t see nationwide changes coming any time soon. Certainly streaming could take off in more modern countries than ours, but the US remains the biggest market by value, and that matters.
This is so silly. “We are outsourcing our streaming to a different top 10 publisher, so that makes our industry-ruining merger okay.” I know the CMA was hung up on the streaming thing, but we all agree that streaming is not and probably will not be a prime market in the industry for at least 5 years. Streaming is not the reason we were all worried about this merger…
Do you usually try to play games that are new and part of The Discourse? I’m more of a patient gamer, so the mindset of chasing the latest game is a little foreign to me.
i just went and rewatched the reveal trailer. it is absolutely not him in that trailer, but i really had not noticed until i listened for it. it’s…weird. i’m not ready to move on from Martinet.
Thank you for sharing! I think the article is saying that people are playing WOT on their phones, but this is still an interesting perspective I had not heard before.
