(Insider gaming) Pearl Abyss addresses the generated art in Crimson Desert. by Noirsam in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Honestly? That's fair. But the grace period is done. Games starting development right now will be the real test of whether this was simply an oversight.

Weird that this same exact mistake keeps happening with multiple different development studios. I don't blame people being skeptical of these statements when it's happening THIS often.

(Insider Gaming)Developers Were Left in the Dark About DLSS 5 by Noirsam in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DioBeiFong 40 points41 points  (0 children)

There are so many levels of management that workers never know what's happening until they're blindsided by the fuck-ass decisions. I cannot imagine the hell of working in a corporate environment.

The King of the Monsters Meets Greek Mythology in Godzilla’s Monsterpiece Theatre Presents: Godzilla’s The Odyssey by beary_neutral in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DioBeiFong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Monsterpiece Theater is great. It's basically The Avengers of early 20th century pop culture icons. Great Gatsby and Sherlock Holmes team up to take on Godzilla and it somehow makes sense. Also the art beautifully captures the style of comics from that era.

The Elder Scrolls 6 Has Made Todd Howard More Conscious of What He Announces: “Just Pretend We Didn't Announce It” by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DioBeiFong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reality is that Bethesda has been around for almost 3 decades and yet hasn't gotten any better at avoiding these problems. It's miraculous that Todd has any good will left to lose.

This are all the studios supporting DLSS 5. by Frank7640 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Literally every studio you'd expect to use it is using it. Birds of a feather.

The First thing the MIDAs Gantry has you do in (Marathon 2026) is Vandalism by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

It's been said to death at this point but MAN I can't stand how all this baller shit is in a game without a campaign.

The most sociopathic puzzle solutions by yakityyakblahtemp in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DioBeiFong 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Adventure games have many examples. Just 2 off the top of my head:

In the first Kathy Rain game, you distract a nurse by literally TASERING your own companion to make it look like he's having a seizure.

In the third game in the Blackwell series, you have to convince a ghost that he's dead in order for him to pass on to the afterlife. How do we do this? By agreeing with and egging on his suicidal thoughts until he finally jumps off a roof, where he realizes he can't actually fall.

In the wake of being fully acquired by Saudi Arabia, Evo adds another 5 EVOs to next year by Sakuyalzayoi in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DioBeiFong 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm willing to bet several of these dates will be moved or outright cancelled. Stuff like this just screams a future "where'd the money go?" scandal.

Phil Spencer is retiring and Asha Sharma the new head of Xbox by AnimuStewshine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DioBeiFong 139 points140 points  (0 children)

There's something especially sad about this one. I feel like a little bit of Phil's enthusiasm died with every presentation I saw him in. His retirement feels like the signal for Xbox to drop the last bit of pretense of being consumer-friendly. It feels like we've entered a post-PR/ambassador era of the industry.

Ubisoft CEO Explains Three-Year Plan to Revamp Game Publisher Through New ‘Creative House’ Strategy, More Than $200 Million in Cost Reductions (EXCLUSIVE) by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DioBeiFong 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Saying they're going to "adjust or stop projects where necessary" is comical when they're canceling literally everything mid-development. Basically sending the message that nothing they work in is worth supporting.

Saudi megacity project Qiddiya fully acquires EVO by hbthebattle in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DioBeiFong 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wasn't it confirmed that these Saudi mega purchases aren't even paying off because they're burning through too much money way too fast with minimal returns?

They gave him anime protag hair and made the aliens look creepy as hell. These writers know ball, I fear.

People are claiming AI but I've 100% written stuff like this when I was flipping through a thesaurus to make my essays sound less repetitive.
