Better than couch multiplayer Mario Kart 8 / World?

I am leaning towards giving God Eater 3 a try. Seems like a fun enough game.

I miss summer vacations. Every profession should have these. Glad you are enjoying yours!

Hehe, enjoying nice weather and sunlight is also important! Have fun!

Congratulations on the wedding!

You didn't feel any rubber banding in Horizon Chase Turbo?

Paczynski says they once hired a private investigator to find someone living off the grid in the UK. He had unknowingly inherited the rights to several games, but was super supportive of "preserving his family's legacy" when GOG tracked him down.

So, it happened once. And they hired one private investigator. Not that it isn't interesting, but why exaggerate everything?

Remaining quotes from article:

"To be perfectly honest, it's harder than we thought it would be," Paczynski explained. "What we've found out is that games and how they work has deteriorated way faster than what we thought. And we are not talking only about the game not launching. We are talking about more subtle things as well, like the game not supporting modern controllers, or the game not supporting ultra-widescreen or modern resolutions, or even a simple thing like not being able to minimise the game, which is an essential feature today."

Pacyznski says digital rights management (DRM) features are especially frustrating to circumvent, which means they're working as designed. Heck, some rather famous games are unplayable without third-party patches because of DRM — any old Xbox-to-PC that's saddled with a "Games for Windows Live" log-in comes to mind.

Pacyznski suggests that triple-A developers remove DRM from games after a few years to make life easier for future game preservationists. Of course, this will never happen because executives don't care about preserving games.

Just told my kid about it, and his face broke into a huge grin. I guess that's the target audience.

Though, Netflix has generally been pretty good with their animated shows, so won't mind taking a look at what they do with Minecraft myself.

Isn't this common? From what I know water damage isn't covered under warranty by anyone.

I think we should just forget the game exists. One day they will announce it, but until them, let's just assume there is no Silksong, and Team Cherry is just taking a long long vacation.

Oh. Good luck with the next try!

I came in to read what caused Valve's fall from grace, but nope, still the good guy.

But arguing over whether or not you should use this engine or that engine, the engine is in service to the game. Is the game good? I don’t care what the engine is. The game’s good! Let’s play the game.

That's the problem, the games aren't good anymore!

According to a comment on another post on lemmy. The takedown notice is fake, probably sent by some troll. Garry's Mod is still removing stuff though, because they think it's real.

As a dev (but not a game dev), this can be either good or bad, depending on how the team is grouped, and what their development flow is.

Half new devs means, half of them are veterans, which would also include team leads and the managers, who will plan, review and test whatever those devs are doing, so if their workflow is solid, other than some slowdown in development speed, it shouldn't cause much issue.

I don't know about Xbox, but drift issue is pretty common in PS5 controller too, and I recall reading that all companies uses sticks from same manufacturer.

Everyone online sings praises of 'Hall-effect' sticks, but no one (Sony / MS / Nintendo) is currently using them, probably because of higher cost.

If this works, this will probably solve the issue for Nintendo at least.

Well, as pretty much the biggest instance, it provides the best data for load-testing. 🫣

That saves us from all the rumours of Switch 2 getting announced at Gamescom this year.

I don't know why everyone is so angry at this comment. The question was about what will it take for subscriptions to increase and become dominant in industry, the guy answered that. The interview was with the guy about Ubisoft's subscription service, what else people expected?

If anyone talks to the guy in-charge of Gamepass, and they ask them how will gamepass increase, they wont' say, well, if everyone keeps buying physical, that will be great for us.

Don't know what engine they used for STS, but apparently they were making STS 2 on Unity:

At the time, it said it'd made much of Slay the Spire II in Unity, but would still migrate to a different engine if Unity stuck to its guns.

I believe so, except in review build it was a minor who was riding it, and we don't know what else was there in the "interactive dialogue sequence"
