MentalEdge, to gaming in Over 5,000 games industry workers have already lost their jobs in 2024

Economist: exponential growth, infinitely!

Physicist: uuuuuhhh…

MentalEdge, to games in Xbox Is Not Your Friend

Basically this.

I don’t like mergers but holy fuck Activision/Blizzard had to go. That that POS Kotick got away with a golden parachute while pulling every dirty trick that unluckier cronies have pulled once and gotten cancelled, is a travesty.

Getting acquired is just about the only way something that big “dies”. Activision swore many times they’d change, but it was never gonna happen. Too many wore rose tinted glasses and forgave them because of what Blizzard once was, dismissing what it had become.

Microsoft has been good to its subsidiary studios in recent years, but eventually it too will have to be dealt with in some form. My preferred method would be hitting it with the “monopoly-break-up-stick” again.

MentalEdge, to games in Sony CEO Says PlayStation's Gaming Future Will Be On PC, Mobile, And Cloud

Would be quite something if PS6 turns out to be just a hdmi streaming dongle with controllers.

But sony PC ports are still taking years to arrive after their PS releases, and I can’t imagine everyone being able to stream games for the same reason everyone can’t download them.

Especially not in countries like the US, which have areas with absolutely atrocious internet infrastructure. I would expect them to embrace PC further, if this is their course…

Official PC support for PSVR someday? PC ports of PSVR titles?

MentalEdge, to games in Alan Wake 2 Interview: The DLCs Won't Be Setting Up Control 2
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

AWE is decent DLC.

It’s nowhere near critical to enjoy Alan Wake. Neither is Control in its entirety.

And I think playing Alan Wake 2 first and then Control, would be just as cool because unlike other interlinked things, they are separate stories with references in both directions.

Which games you play or in what order, doesn’t matter.

And they shouldn’t.

The story of Alan Wake is about the specific reality-altering AWE that is Cauldron Lake. The FBC deals with many such events.

Control 2 could see the FBC tackle anything, and that anything isn’t necessarily related to Cauldron Lake in any way.

The Hiss wasn’t. Why should the next game be?

MentalEdge, to games in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is making the utterly bizarre decision to lock New Game+ behind a $15 upgrade
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

Both of those games charging for their NG+ content would be like charging for on-disc “DLC”.

Nier especially, if the base game only came with the first run, that would be like a paid demo of the real game.

MentalEdge, to games in Trademark Tussle: Remedy Entertainment And Take Two Clash Over Logo
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

What fucking “uncanny resemblance”?

Literally the only common aspect between the logos is the letter “R”. What, is rockstar/take two claiming they have dibs on a letter?

If they have a problem with Remedy’s new logo, then they should have had one with the old one.

MentalEdge, to games in Jurgen Post returns as Sega Europe shakes up leadership

Who do you think has been shitting out all the Sonic games over the years?

MentalEdge, to games in Tekken 8 director says players raising accessibility concerns "have misunderstood the options"
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

This isn’t for color blindness, it’s for normal blindness.

The kind where you are legally blind but can still make out shapes. The stripes are a clearer way to help such a person make out two separate silhouettes.

MentalEdge, to games in Bloober Team to develop new game based on Skybound Entertainment IP
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

I really enjoyed The Medium. Kinda worried that bloober might become like Telltale Games in how they oversaturated their own niche, with all these license deals.

Porn games bout to start selling a lot better. Or, well, better than they already do.

MentalEdge, to games in Sony Patent Aims To Change Game Difficulty In Real Time As You Play
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

Yeah but this is about sony fucking patenting the concept, which is dumb as hell.

He doesn’t need to prove that which is widely know and easily confirmed by anyone who bothers to check, that you’re willfully ignoring that so you can call his correction an opinion, doesn’t work.

You’re just volunteering to get down-votes at this point.

Either admit you took a stance where there was no ground to stand on, or if you’re too proud for that, walk away.
