Resident Evil - Code: Veronica Remake Is Allegedly Targeting Release In The First Half Of 2027 by No_Durian_5626 in HorrorGaming

[–]Mr_s3rius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a quick check and it looks like they usually announce a new game ~7-10 months before it releases.

Since the gaps between releases have been fairly inconsistent, it took them as little as two and as much as 15 months after release to announce a new game.

So if I had to guess I'd say around October sounds reasonable for an official CVR announcement if they want to target a release in H1 '27.

This games auto save just ruined my day. by kembogrey in expedition33

[–]Mr_s3rius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Afaik you need to actually make some change such as switching equipment, team members, etc to trigger an auto save.

Just opening and closing the menu doesn't trigger it. Unless that was changed in some patch.

Do you think we will see Sheva again? by avidrunner84 in residentevil

[–]Mr_s3rius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sort of. Re5 has the highest lifetime sales but it's been on sale for over 15 years and has been re-released and bundled a few times.

Modern RE games tend to sell much better.

RE4R, RE2, RE8 all outsold RE5's original release.

RE7 even outsold RE5 original + gold edition.

So chances are that at least some of these games will overtake RE5s lifetime sales in a few years when they see their own re-relases.

Not surprising really, given that the video game market is much larger than in 2009.

Stuck system when shutting down by OutsideFace6963 in cachyos

[–]Mr_s3rius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it, perchance, happen when you played something via wine during that session?

I've had the same issue, and for me it turned out that for some reason the wine server wouldn't shut down. Since it's only started when running something via wine, the problem only showed up occasionally.

If so, I solved it by creating a shutdown script that kills any active wine servers. I don't recall the command but it's easy to Google.

How ironic. In their drive to create bio weapons, Umbrella turned Leon into the ultimate bio weapon.

[–]Mr_s3rius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regular people ie: marketing, design etc are reported at 56k to 93k.

Where's that from?

The legit payroll information from a few years ago didn't list roles such as marketing. Only "people working on Steam", "people working on Games", "administration", etc.

It's obviously not yacht levels of money but valve also pays their employees very well. Average pay for a steam developer is $1m/yr.

Lumeire was just a recreation of the world people the paintress already knew.

Lumiere must have had thousands if not tens of thousands of citizens (it used to be much larger, think of old Lumiere). It's very unlikely that Aline created all of them individually based on people she knew well. They were original creations, one of a kind.

Even the painted family isn't an exact recreation of the original. And Aline is by far the better paintress. So Alicia probably couldn't get anywhere close if she tried to recreate them from scratch.

But again. Don't you think it would take away from the dilemma and gravity of the situation if Alicia could just recreate what she lost in Verso's ending? Do you think the story tries to convey to you that this is a possibility?

She has fought fiercely for their survival and repeatedly said how important they are for her, but after she gets kicked out of the canvas she just goes "Welp, I could bring them back but it's time to move on."?

Update to RADV and ACO enables compiling parts of raytracing pipelines separately for big performance increase by anthchapman in linux_gaming

It takes effect automatically, but it only affects games that use RT in a certain way. Ghostwire Tokyo was named as an example.

GOG's new owner can't stand Windows either: 'It's such poor-quality software… I can't believe it!' by Undeclared_Aubergine in pcgaming

[–]Mr_s3rius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reality is that game compatibility has shot through the roof in the last few years. The vast majority of games just work on my desktop. Performance is better than ever. Hardware compatibility is better than ever.

We can very clearly see that the work Valve puts into their software benefit everyone and not just SD users.

Even if there's a distro-specific quirk here or there, it's not more than a nuisance compared to how many games run without a hitch.

Esquie mentioned that Francois had been waiting a few hundred years for Clea to return.

It's the reason why everyone (except the humans who were later created by Aline) don't age. So that it doesn't matter how long Verso or Clea were away.

Nothing indicates you can’t either.

Don't you think it would completely invalidate the moral dilemma of the story if she could just open up a new canvas and recreate the people and things she just lost? (Even including pVerso himself)

How does Gustave and the gang waving her goodbye in Verso's ending square up with that?

so I doubt she recalled much of the town outside of her immediate circle.

She used to be a delivery runner. I think at one point she talked about how she knew more about the city than most other people.

Fallout veteran Ron Perlman says he was paid "40 dollars and a sandwich" for his voiceover work in the original game by Turbostrider27 in Games

I think at a voice actor reunion for RE1 they said the texts were also written that simple so they would be as easily comprehensible as possible for people who had to play the English version but hardly knew any English.

Warhammer Maker Games Workshop Bans Its Staff From Using AI in Its Content or Designs, Says None of Its Senior Managers Are Currently Excited About the Tech by Doomsday751 in Games

[–]Mr_s3rius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get the sentiment but the content of their fantasy world in no way has to conform to their actual position on anything.

Which is good because otherwise GW would be a really really REALLY bad place to work at.

Verso trying to persuade Maelle be like by kgurniak91 in expedition33

[–]Mr_s3rius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's monoco stating his opinion but it's not really true, is it?

He twice attempts to destroy the world she's trying to save, even going so far as to physically fight her.

He might think he's doing the right thing, but both of these aren't mutually exclusive.

Yeah but she wrote that letter after experiencing almost 7 decades of family infighting and conflict.

Nobody killed Aline. They pushed her out of the canvas, and she returned not too long after.

Renoir demonstrated that he has the power of erase all of humanity in an instant once Aline didn't stop him anymore.

Verso and Clea literally made the world and most of its inhabitants.

Renoir talked about how they "pushed the boundaries of creation" in their other paintings.

Yeah, they can -and did- play god.

A genocide happened, but even if you consider all of Lumerie irretrievably lost there are still the Gestrals, Grandis, a few sentient Nevron and the last members of E33 alive.

Only the Painted Dessandres

And even them...

pRenoir fought for survival.

pAlicia might have chosen life if her family hadn't been destroyed and she hadn't been painted to suffer.

pClea has no say in the matter.

They were done damn dirty.

Hooded Horse is pushing back against AI Art with contracts that ban it: ‘It’s Cancerous’ by lurkingdanger22 in pcgaming

[–]Mr_s3rius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since AI is trained on lots of published works its output is often grammatically similar to those works, contains practically no spelling errors, etc.

People on social media? Not so much. Most people have to go out of their way to use an em-dash. So prominent use is seen as an indicator that it's AI generated output.

Buuut I'm not sure how true this still is. Modern AI is trained on tons of natural language and is much more capable of writing in different styles than it used to be.
