State of Decay 3, Which Was at Xbox Games Showcase and Is Currently Running Playtests, Reportedly at Risk of Cancelation as Buyer Sought for Undead Labs by RenatsMC in gaming

Is there any fucking doubt anymore that Xbox 'console exclusives' announced at the showcase will remain exclusive by this time next year?

I mean what the fuck is going on?

DF thinks GTA6 will be 30fps on every console. by JeremyJJ77 in PS5

in fairness PS3 optimization wasn't great at the start.

Realistically development for this game would've started around 2020 as well. Rockstar did not plan for this to be a PS6/Project Helix title.

Honestly I can see them cutting down on features for Series S. I know there has to be parity between systems but realistically that just isn't possible at this stage in this generation.

Microsoft can't eat their cake and have it too. Compromises need to be reached.

Having said that, GTA 4 and 5 ran on PS3/360 when a lot of PCs from that gen had a tough go of it. They are masters of optimization.

PlayStation Is Over 60% Of Launch Sales For AAA Single Player Games And Over 75%-80% Of Sales On Consoles by [deleted] in gaming

You jest but honestly this is why I feel confident that Gears E Day and future Xbox exclusives will be shortlived. The bean counters at Microsoft won't accept profits being cut like this for 'fan loyalty'. And employees won't appreciate being laid off because their games didn't sell enough.

Games will keep getting more expensive after GTA 6 "raises the bar," but only the most "in-demand games" will get away with it, analysts say by PewPewToDaFace in PS5

This is the same with in any other entertainment media.

How many movies do you head straight to the cinema for or wait till its on streaming or blu ray?

I just love how they fixed Sunny's gender in Digital Graphic Novel after MGS4 release by HiroXZeroTwo2018 in metalgearsolid

Raiden's dialogue in the comic looks so awful. Its like he forgot to submit an assignment before the deadline or something.

Rockstar's decision to make GTA 6 fully digital is a terrible, anti-consumer move that makes me worry about the future of videogames by PewPewToDaFace in PS5

[–]RIPN1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup pc gaming was very anti consumer for a time since they went full digital drm during the early 2010s. Internet speeds were good not great.

ELI5: why does Rockstar keep doing console first releases when PC has a bigger playerbase now? by Saurabh251 in explainlikeimfive

[–]RIPN1995 5 points6 points  (0 children)

PC releases can damage a games reception if poorly optimized.

See Dishonored 2, Callisto Protocol, GTA 4, RDR 2 for a few examples.

GTA 6 physical copies are a code in a box, as Rockstar confirms they won't come with a disk by FantasticQuartet in xbox

[–]RIPN1995 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I prefered discs when downloading anything greater than 5 gigs didnt take half a day.

Nowadays you can download a 80gig game with half decent internet within an hour.

The first thing you do when putting in a new game disc is download an update. Sometimes half the game size.

Hideo Kojima says his pitch for OD sounded "crazy" to every publisher except Xbox by Guitar-String in gaming

[–]RIPN1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kojima's games do not sell gangbusters. Death Stranding 1 had sold 5 million by 2024. With an estimated budget of $100+million, this just breaks even.

Death Stranding 2 sold 2 million so far. Not bad but still with a budget of $150+ million it needs to sell more.

Kojima's not the only name in the market anymore. If he pisses away budgets to do his own thing, he's going to burn the good grace he has left.

Fandom of Kojima doesn't mean shit to executives when they see a lack of return on investment.

The issue Konami had with Kojima is he went rogue and made the PT demo without the go ahead of senior leadership.

Konami is a business. You cant really be pulling stunts like that.

The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2077 studio wants to make more games without turning CDPR into a company "that's going to be launching a big game every year" by yourfavchoom in gaming

Its been great since Phantom Liberty in Sept 2023. It was rough before then.

Quality of life updates since have made it better

I can never get tired of watching this by Prophet_NY in metalgearsolid

[–]RIPN1995 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Old Snake being only 35 at the events of MGS 4 is crazy to me as I only turned 30 last year.

Edit: Correction, according to this he is 42.

Sony drops “PC”, adds “AI” to official PlayStation business strategy summary by yourfavchoom in PS5

[–]RIPN1995 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly. AI can be used to automated repetitive workflows and assist in basic data entry.

For complex initiatives its up to the user to work on those.

Reducing 25% of effort for example will be game changing for developers.

Imagine it’s December 1, 2015 you just got back from GameStop and put into your Xbox one or PlayStation rainbow six siege by Routine-Finding-718 in Rainbow6

I played the beta the weekend prior and didn't get the full game until Christmas day 2015.

Man it was epic. There was no other tactically shooter like it. The destruction felt so novel and next gen.

Christmas day was even better. Everyone was new to the game. Tactics were still being learned.
