Hellblade is in my opinion overrated. Sure great graphics, cool story but gameplay and controls were mid. Never finished it. I don’t have any interest in the second one.
Will never happen even if Nintendo wanted to. Miyazaki is probably not interested to turn a videogame into a movie. And even if he was he wants full control and write the screenplay. Like he has done with every adaptation. That’s probably not something Nintendo wants. Since every adaptation he made is very different from the source material (except the source material he wrote)
More than 200 people with diabetes have been injured when their insulin pumps shut down unexpectedly due to a problem with a connected mobile app, the US Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday.
Today, one day after Microsoft announced that it would shut down four of its games studios, Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, held a town hall to discuss the division’s future goals. “We need smaller games that give us prestige and awards,” Booty told employees, according to internal remarks shared with The Verge....
Maybe stop hemorrhaging money with GamePass. Like for example is paying Take-Two hundreds of millions to get GTAV on the service really a good investment. They could have funded hundreds of smaller studios with the money they poured into the service to just get a handful of triple A games on it.
Just stop trying to make game subscription service a thing. If it ever becomes successful it will just change the industry for the worse.
We can have both but it will cost hundreds of millions like Horizon and often this means shitty monetization practices if the company isn’t the size of Sony, or the employees are heavily underpaid like with Elden Ring. Seriously pay at FromSoft is lower than the already low industry standard. https://www.pcgamer.com/report-highlights-underpay-and-some-level-of-crunching-at-fromsoftware/
When they screamed about the degeneration of Western society it wasn’t a warning it was an announcement. Everything is just projection with these evil cunts
On 2 January, a young Ukrainian weapons inspector, Khrystyna Kimachuk, got word that an unusual-looking missile had crashed into a building in the city of Kharkiv. She began calling her contacts in the Ukrainian military, desperate to get her hands on it. Within a week, she had the mangled debris splayed out in front of her at a...
It’s not just changing gears. It’s the amount of time you have to invest in it. Changing engines mid project when you already have half the game finished could easily cost months especially when you still need to learn the new engine. That’s months that could have been used to finish the game.
Essa Al-Nassr, a member of the Qatari legislative Shura council, spoke on Monday at an Arab League session, received ovation making bigoted accusations against Jews and promising the end of Israel.
And now Poland’s only ally in the EU parliament is sucking Putin’s dick. I hope they learned a lesson, if they want to be protected by EU law (Article 42.7 is the European Union's mutual assistance clause, similar to NATO article 5) maybe they should also uphold it within their own nation and don’t conspire against the EU with a crook
Early access games can change drastically over the course of development. And can turn into a different game at release. I’m my opinion that’s still not a valid reason to get a refund if you put in many hours into the game already. As a consumer you should know that something like that can happen with a game that is still in development. You assume that risk.
I play mostly on my Steam Deck nowadays. If a game is too heavy for the Deck I just subscribe to GeForce Now for a month to stream to my Steam Deck. Once everything is setup on the Steam Deck it’s pretty much friction free to start a game, especially in GeForce Now.
👨🚀🔫👨🚀Always has been. You never owned the software. Even when games were on cd or cartridge. The only thing that is your legal possession is the physical CD or cartridge and the license that came with it.
It’s the same with paper books though. If you buy a paper book you don’t automatically own the rights of that work. You own the copy and can sell that copy or even make a copy for private use. But you can’t make copies of that book to sell, since you don’t own the copyright
Copyright is definitely being abused by the big corporations but without copyright small artists/software developers would constantly get their work stolen by those big corporations.
To most of us, this is probably just a summary of events over the past year or so. But, it’s good to know that this sort of news is reaching non-gaming channels.

They won’t be allowed back under the same terms they had before the exit. For example every new member has to become part of the Eurozone and adopt the Euro. I definitely see this becoming a dealbreaker for British conservatives who love to have their master King on their currency

They should just ban rental companies like AirBnB and ban short term rentals of homes. And if anyone puts a home up for rent on these sites the city should just eminent domain that property and turn it into social housing.
“Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe,” said Ritchson, who himself identifies as a follower of Jesus. “It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do.”
You can still lose weight if you eat unhealthy shit. Like I know people that eat McDonald’s everyday yet they ain’t fat. While you don’t get all the necessary nutrients from fast food being unhealthy but not overweight is still better than being fat.
Bet Trump just wants Putin to invade Germany. So he doesn’t have to pay off his billions of debt to Deutsche Bank. That’s why he wants to dismantle NATO and cede Ukraine to the Ruskis. Remember Trump doesn’t follow an ideology or some sort of evil moral compass. Everything his does is solely to stroke his ego and for financial gain.
Notch was the founder and owner of Mojang. When they talk about “employee #x” they mean employees after the founders even if the founders are on the payroll.
Embracer is a joke. They could have just bought Nintendo stock and have a better ROI. Why did they bet it all on videogames? It’s like they haven’t looked at other publishers’ massive buying sprees of the past. Non of those were ever successful. Like EA shuttered or sold so many studios within a decade after purchase. Even Disney failed at it.
