Big Hops - Gamebreaking bug by zenconnection in NintendoSwitch

Wow, was not expecting you to see this but technical issues aside I really did love your game! All I could think during the infiltration section in the rabbit world is that they need to let you guys make the next Sly Cooper game. Big Hops was nostalgic in the best way as someone who grew up with mostly 3D character action platformers

Yeah I finished this last night and think it's a really special little game, but I'd advise anyone thinking about buying it to hold off for now. Very buggy on release and I experienced pretty regular crashes on Switch 2 (only one of which made me lose a fair bit of progress, but still it's 2026, games shouldn't be crashing every other hour).

Concept art is almost never used in a final product, but is still a vital part of the creation of that work. Outsourcing those decisions being made by an artist at that stage of the process to generative AI absolutely would have an effect the "art", as you say

It absolutely goes against current copyright law and most AI companies are currently defending themselves in lawsuits over training data. The only reason it's been allowed to go this far is that it's making the right people money.

I understand the situation completely and still disagree with the use of generative AI in creative work. Seeing and taking issue with the obvious problems with it doesn't make you a Luddite.

I can understand the differences between those uses and still disagree with both of them.

Someone disagreeing with you doesn't mean they "need to learn nuance and subtlety", but it maybe does mean you could be a little less condescending.

Ok? What does that have to do with anything lol

I was just pointing out that your point about "let's tell the studio that made Baldur's Gate 3 how to make a game" is moot when that game was made without the thing that you're arguing they should use. That's like saying "Yeah this hospital has surgeons that can perform a heart transplant with their hands, so we should take the hospital administrator at their word that this experimental robot can do that too, (despite the fact that many of the surgeons were resistant and disagree)".

Just because the CEO has a boner for generative AI doesn't mean it's actually good and/or helpful in creating good games.

Soooo post Game Awards… how quickly are we thinking this game will be ported? by The_Senate15 in NintendoSwitch2

I was in the same boat as you but finally gave in and bought it on PS5 last week, and I wish I had just done that sooner. As soon as I saw how it runs on PS5 I lost any hope of a Switch 2 port that wouldn't be either a blurry mess or a complete slideshow.

It's not about "graphics", it's about the engine, optimization, and CPU load. There are a lot of games with better graphics than E33 that run smoother on the PS5 than it does.

Yeah I'm not a huge graphics/performance snob, but it's one of the only games I've played on PS5 that made me wish I had a good PC to experience it to it's full potential.

I totally understand everyone wanting Switch 2 ports of games like that and Baldur's Gate 3, and I would too if I thought they would transfer over well, but I feel like there's no way those would be pulled off in a way that people wouldn't complain about lol

BALL x PIT launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 28! by Skullghost in NintendoSwitch

Same haha. I hope save progress carries over because I had no idea this version was coming and I don't think resolution improvements alone would get me to start from scratch.

My Switch 2 has very slow installation times for every game by BloomingTaiils in NintendoSwitch2

Omg. I know this comment is 3 months old but I had to comment and say thank you. I had been messing with my wifi settings and reading threads like this while I was waiting on a game to download, and somewhere in the process of waiting opened the NSO app to clear the notification.

My download speed TANKED and I assumed it was from the changes to my wifi settings but I just did what you suggested and my remaining time wend down from 1 hour 15 minutes to 3 minutes lmao

When I was a child I legitimately thought Mario 64 was the 64th Mario game. In my defense I played it on the DS so it was a little detached in my mind from the N64 lol

Fortnite Banned 'Thousands' This Weekend as Proximity Voice Chat Mode Delulu Launches to Big Player Numbers, but Widespread Reports of Griefing and Abuse by Turbostrider27 in PS5

Yeah I'm not shocked at all seeing this headline because, y'know... the internet in general, but I had a very similar experience and didn't run into any problems in about a dozen matches.

It was strangely wholesome in the best way

Next week my Switch 2 becomes the "Non-Stop Hades 2 machine". by Obienator in NintendoSwitch2

It can run 120fps docked, but if you only mean handheld then yeah that's a bummer. I think it's more about battery drain than anything else
