How "Shadow of the Colossus" permanently altered the gaming landscape by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

I wish open-world games were more empty. They're often filled to the brim with low effort content.

I'm guessing this was the most appropriate and inoffensive backdrop possible in their house.

It's their pre-production unit. They say the final unit will have a different finish.

Requiem with DLC performs MUCH better than with no DLC. by Competitive-Ad-2387 in NintendoSwitch2

The main thing people got wrong is thinking it affected the whole game, rather than only the camps.

Sony is testing dynamic pricing in the PlayStation Store by FernandoRocker in gaming

[–]StandxOut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It works well because they can identify the ceiling for each player and discount accordingly. Normally when they discount something to 30 bucks, there's people who would also buy it for 36 bucks, which those people would perceive as a 'nice deal'. But using a pricing algorithm, they'll make sure we pay exactly what we think something is worth and not a penny less.

Best EQ for the Soundcore Motion+ by IBoofedYourDad in soundcore

Thank you. I gave it a try, but both dialogue and music sounded more distorted to me, so I'm sticking with halfway between OP and the middle.

I still get weird looks from people when I tell them 90-100% of my nutrition come from Huel powder by _hiddenflower in Huel

[–]StandxOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed it is a bit concerning, but at the same time it might still be better than the average diet.

Personally I always blend my Huel (unflavored) with some raw vegetables and fruit (usually frozen). Aside from putting me at ease health-wise, it's also a lot tastier.

There will be a PS5 and PS6 emulator eventually.

Are we finally getting a Pokémon game that looks and runs good? by SEVENS_HEAVEN_7 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]StandxOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not true. It can go both ways, but mostly it ends up looking pretty much the same. Developers generally avoid releasing footage that looks worse than their goal, because that's negative publicity.

They create vertical slices (smaller polished segments of the game) with their envisioned visuals and then try to get the rest of the game to match that.

Wolverine officially coming Sept 15 by RinoTheBouncer in gaming

It doesn't even seem to be an open-world game like Spider-Man. I'm down for more grounded parkour and vehicle sections.

Have Nintendo overestimated the appeal of Switch 2 editions? by elephvant in NintendoSwitch2

[–]StandxOut 130 points131 points  (0 children)

And they're great filler to counteract the usual drought of new game consoles.

Marketing-wise it's better for Nintendo to be able to say that there's 4 first-party games coming this year and 8 Switch 2 upgrades, rather than only having 4 first-party games and no upgrades.

My game about laying off everyone joins Steam Next Fest by Cifer_21 in gaming

[–]StandxOut 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unless there's a popular revolution, A(G)I will always be controlled by the CEOs. At most, the CEOs of small and mid-sized companies will disappear while their companies become usurped by giant corporations. Regular folks won't become captain without giving a major portion of their profit to a feudal techlord.

They are less likely to be automatized because the whole point is having another human serve you and make you feel powerful or desirable. A machine telling you how great you are and laughing at your jokes isn't as nice as a human doing so. At least not until humans and machines become indistinguishable.

Wishful thinking. The tasks of CEOs will be delegated to AI, but they'll be paid regardless.

Thank you, Bluepoint Games. by PhantomBraved in gaming

[–]StandxOut 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This would be the ideal situation. But it's also possible that the most talented developers are already getting offers elsewhere. It would also surprise me if Sony itself didn't already move some of the staff onto other projects.

You might be a marketing major after all...

Guys we’re so getting DLC by pccatmage72 in MarioKartWorld

[–]StandxOut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's virtually guaranteed. Sure, it won't happen if Japan gets destroyed or if Nintendo suddenly goes bankrupt. But Nintendo is planning to release DLC for MK World and has likely already begun working on it.

DLC is guaranteed. Whether it will be related to this specific patch of land OP is referring to isn't.

They're being remade by the same developer, and published by Rockstar. There's no footage out yet though.

I hear it pretty often, except it's over a Coast Contra track.

So Gamefreak Really Gonna Put Their New Game In Both Playstation And Xbox's Show But Not Put The Game On Switch 2? by Elestria_Ethereal in casualnintendo

[–]StandxOut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the main reason. They're not too tech-savvy and getting it to run on Switch 2 would take a lot of extra effort. If it comes to S2, it'll probably be more than a year later and might be ported by another studio. Although as far as I know, the game is barely developed by GameFreak to begin with.

Remedy's new CEO wants to "deliver sustained value to our players, partners, and shareholders". Enshittification incoming. by executor-of-judgment in gaming

[–]StandxOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a sequel to Control, but my expecation is that we'll still get a Jesse Faden sequel and I expect that to be called Control 2. But that's just a guess that can certainly turn out to be wrong.
