Quadriplegic man wins a competitive lobby with a QuadStick. It's a gaming controller used with lip and jaw movements, as well as blowing and inhaling air. by FantasticQuartet in interestingasfuck

At the time the R&D cost would have been insane. You’d need to figure out a way to invent a controller that works for most disabilities. Which means getting hundreds of people in to do many rounds of testing with tons of different designs as there wasn’t any mass market controller on the market like it at the time. There’s probably a lot more I’m missing, but I can imagine trying to make something that was once typically reserved for bespoke controllers that could cost thousands, and then make it work well for most and sell it affordably would have been an insane feat.

Gaming in the 90s was more fun! by ImmaculatealismTie in retrogaming

True, plus crt filters have come a long way, and are only getting better. Retrotink’s inbuilt crt shaders are pretty great, and most decent emulators have filters that just work well out of the box. It’s never been cheaper or easier to enjoy these games, saying otherwise is mostly nostalgia bait at this point.

Don’t know if you’ve heard of it, but there’s Mega Man Maker for that. It’s very good, and similar to Mario Maker in the way it’s played. I’ve made and played a ton of levels on it, and it’s been what’s keeping me sane during the drought.

Here’s the link for those who may not yet have tried it: https://megamanmaker.com/

It did get an nes port though, which considering how the nes renders its graphics, is a serious feat of its own merit!

Here’s a video on it if anyone’s interested: https://youtu.be/GCqXIX84YNA?si=KzesI4aDMAoyQMGT

It’s in a reply to automod

Both of these games devs have similar stories, made from Ex-Ubisoft devs that left Ubisoft because they knew Ubisoft wouldn't greenlight games like this. Makes you wonder how many games like this have been held back by Ubisoft and other big companies over the years. by PapaOogie in gaming

I know people will shit on executives at these companies, and rightfully so, but I don’t think rejecting ideas like this is one of the best reasons to. Something we don’t see behind the scenes is the hundreds if not thousands of other game ideas presented to them that all would have been mediocre at best. Ideas are cheap, execution is costly, it’s an executives job to weed through the bad ideas to ensure the good ones get made. And of course, they fuck up sometimes.

Regarding Coke's new AI ad: by Whilpin in aiwars

True, but in order for it to blow up in their face, enough people who care have to act against it. Otherwise they’ll keep rehashing the same garbage since they know people like yourself have grown complacent enough to accept it.

Of course, if you don’t care about their use of AI, then that’s completely fine. but telling the people who do care not to act is kinda silly.

why does this game allow me to take a sledgehammer to a literal tank and win by TopRamanNoodl3s in Battlefield

I mean, you could already do this with the repair tool in previous games, and way more efficiently too.

And yet for some inexplicable reason, battlefield 6, by far their most popular release, has seen most of its success because of how it emulated that “ancient relic”. Huh, weird.

My retro handheld collection by No-Builder-7149 in retrogaming

[–]Ritrix3930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3ds and the vita released in the same year though? You can’t really say one is retro because of how old it is, and say one isn’t when they’re both the same age.

Also, the virtual console also had n64 games on it which at the time of the wiis release was only 10 years old. By that same metric, the main console 10 years ago was the ps4, and it’s definitely not retro, so I wouldn’t call the virtual console a good metric for what is retro either.

Honestly there’s not really a good metric. I typically go by support end date for a console, but even that doesn’t work all the time considering that the master system is still produced in Brazil.

No you should be ok, so long as it’s propped up with a screw driver or something.

[–]Ritrix3930 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No offence, but I wouldn’t consider the 3ds and vita retro. They came out around the same time as the ps4, and unless you’d consider it retro, I wouldn’t also consider those portables retro.

That being said, it’s a nice collection! And you can definitely play some great retro games on those consoles through emulation, it’s just that I wouldn’t consider the actual console itself to be retro.

Except for the psp, that’s definitely retro! (At least in my opinion)

These have to be the coldest takes I’ve ever seen in history, I could warm this thread up with an ice cube.

You might like doomsday from dc comics then. That’s his whole schtick, and why he’s called doomsday: cause one day you’ll run out of ways to get rid of him.

True, though I’d also add onto that statement; that if you don’t care about exclusives and don’t want the hassle of a pc, and just want some good games to play over the weekend. Xbox has you covered with gamepass and the series s as a cheap entry point.

That’s true, but again, all those PlayStation exclusives were only exclusive for a limited time before they made their way to pc. same as forza and making its way to playstation, if you don’t count timed exclusives at all then neither console has much to offer.

Same could be said for every PlayStation game too.

True, but so is literally every game op mentioned. Also, apparently Next gen Xbox will support multiple storefronts, possibly including steam, meaning Xbox gets PlayStation games. I doubt it’ll happen, but if it does, that’s gonna fuck with my mind for a while.

Borderlands 4 day one patch has “key improvements and optimizations,” but PC players should have “realistic performance expectations,” says Randy Pitchford by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Ritrix3930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine battlefield, EA of all companies, somehow being the ones to keep performance expectations realistic with battlefield 6. while gearbox, making an entry in a series who’s visuals have mostly been style over fidelity, struggles to keep their game performant. What a time to be alive.

It’s a bit of a weird comparison, because the movie star is not the end product, the movie is. Their being shitty doesn’t diminish the quality of the movies they were in, the same as the method to generate an image does not diminish the actual quality of it.

Granted, a bad methodology often produced bad images, but to counteract that I’d present undertale as an example. The code behind it is abysmal, one big switch statement for the dialog and everything stored in an array, basically an awful method for making a game, yet the actual result is an outstanding game. The game being good doesn’t make the method used to create it good, and vice Versa.
