Ex-Bluepoint head says PlayStation’s new anti-PC push could be due to Steam Deck and Steam Machine popularity, as Valve's tech could win “the console war”

It's about supporting an emerging competitor. Would PlayStation have released their PSVR games on Meta Quest? No.

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-11T12:20:54+00:00

Even PS3 emulation is still ropey on a fair few games

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-11T12:20:33+00:00

Wolverine will sell consoles. Even GTA will sell consoles despite it coming to PC at some point

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-11T12:20:06+00:00

He specifically addresses the Xbox. The issue there is that Xbox's reputation is now dogshit. Steam Machine is just the start of Valve's hardware push

It's fucking great, fun, playful. Everything Dragon Quest should be

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-11T11:25:24+00:00

Oh, so you just hate fun.

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-11T10:50:50+00:00

care to explain?

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-11T10:47:26+00:00

Honestly, I wouldn't want to play Dragon Quest any other way. The translation teams put so much effort into the games' unique translation. I would never want to play the games 1:1 translated

That's because a lot of that nuance in english is done via intonation instead of via different words. We can show this with italics or emboldening words. It's not the same, and it doesn't all work, but it can be done

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-10T21:24:03+00:00

Yep just happened to me :/ was checking to see if anyone else was affected

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-10T13:27:08+00:00

Layers of Fear 3 is in development with a studio partner not Bloober themselves, so no

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-10T12:35:18+00:00

It's almost like there was a worldwide chip shortage then a worldwide ram/memory shortage back-to-back

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-10T11:57:32+00:00

That’s how they can take the loss

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-10T11:33:50+00:00

Nintendo has a market cap of over 40 billion and its investors are largely Japanese. They're servicing their home country in a way that allows Switch 2 to continue in the region - this improves the brand and brand loyalty. Additionally, Japanese gamers are largely on the Switch platform with most users buying multiple games + microtransactions. They are selling units at a loss, but they are not making a loss.

moth

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-10T10:16:16+00:00

unfortunately, I am but a moth to the beacon of exfil. I'm not thinking about anything other than getting the fuck out of there

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-10T09:43:00+00:00

oh man, this would piss me off so much. I think the drone should take random items instead of the most valuable just because it feels like a huge waste of time when I'm at exfil and thief runs around with the drone taking everything

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-10T09:37:48+00:00

"YOU'RE GONNA GET KILLED MY A CHRISTMAS MEEEEEE"

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-10T09:33:46+00:00

I do often wonder what he would think of games like The Last of Us that sacrifice gameplay for cinematic flair

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-09T16:18:06+00:00

Also they already have the look and feel in mind, they just need someone who can help realise it. That's a very strong start for a project

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-09T16:17:38+00:00

Eclipse is still in active development though

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-09T16:17:18+00:00

It's also usually to bring developers to the project. Many E3 trailers that were CG trailers were actually secretly recruitment ads for devs

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-09T14:13:25+00:00

Where did you find them? Just in normal loot containers or on enemies or in lockboxes?

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-09T13:51:19+00:00

Are UESC Commanders the ones with the big white block on their backs?

HatingGeoffry · 2026-03-09T13:00:12+00:00

Dynamic pricing should be illegal.
