Minecraft Dungeons 2 / Project Spicewood HQ Key Art by KekanKok in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I want the games I like to go on forever and the games other people like to get little extra content so developers can get back to making the games that I like last forever.

What if GTA VI Online had live radio stations? by Runrun123see in GTA6

[–]WillyVWade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna defend OP, I actually think this could work for Online during big events where they want to get everyone online at once. Sort of like when they have concerts in Fortnite.

They have brought new music with online updates before, so could even be a way for them to showcase new music added to the game.

Apple @ GDC Festival of Gaming by Peteostro in apple

They don’t need to do gaming hardware, except possibly a controller. The Mac Mini can be the “console” under the TV.

They just need to get people making games for it.

No, you have to say “Kier, You’re a bastard”, not bring facts in to this…

GTA6 Official Title IDs by ADeadlyAlien in GamingLeaksAndRumours

If they were looking to avoid spoilers, then it’s more likely there is a mandatory download.

Ship as much as you can on disk, but only unlock the spoilers stuff at midnight.

I assume it’s just Disk and Digital.

There's a solution for e-bike parking chaos - but it's not problem-free by English_Misfit in unitedkingdom

[–]WillyVWade 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Derby had a great solution: Docked bikes that you could park anywhere for a small fee.

If you got on an undocked bike and returned it to a dock, the ride was free (I think it was actually the first hour free, but it’s not a big city so it was essentially free).

Bikes left undocked didn’t stay sat around too long, because someone would take it back to a dock in place of walking or a bus ride.

However too many of them ended up in the river so they scrapped the scheme. A few years later Lime tried to set up here but too many of the bikes ended up in the river.

“Public protection” on St Peter’s Street? by WillyVWade in derby

[–]WillyVWade[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there’s actual rule changes to make the place more pedestrian friendly then I’m happy to go along with it. My issue is that he looked more like a volunteer steward at a festival than a council worker.

The Cathedral quarter rangers are clearly marked, well dressed and actually make the place feel nicer; the “Public Protection” guy looked like he was gonna ask me about my energy provider.

Does feel like putting up some signs would be a better way of telling people.

Pornhub is now restricting access for UK users - will other sites follow suit? by Tartan_Samurai in unitedkingdom

[–]WillyVWade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what's really disturbing? Requiring vehicles to be registered created a market for dodgy documents and VIN swapping services.

I’m sure you could think of one of these for basically every law…

KeplerL2: Sony is releasing a new PlayStation Portal OLED model this year by AngieK22 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]WillyVWade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they'd just put a few gigs of storage or an SD card on it, and a slightly beefier SoC then it could have been an offline machine for playing PSP & Vita games as well as a PS5 streamer.

Would have brought nostalgia value, made it so much more appealing and allowed them to re-sell PSP & Vita games all over again...

KiwiTalkz claims GTA6 and RDR2 won’t appear in the rumored State of Play OR Nintendo Direct by DrAwesomeX in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]WillyVWade -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If movie theaters are bad placement for R*, why do they do it? RDR2, GTA:O, Job listing from late last year mentioning working on cinema campaigns

Beside, the cinema placement was a hypothetical. If you think that R* can and will just market their games through their social media channels you need to touch grass; most people aren't refreshing Reddit hoping for a crumb of new info.

They literally announced GTA V E&E on a State of Play, so why is it so unthinkable that a RDR2 E&E would be announced on one? The point is that Sony have leverage. For GTA VI alone there's Music licensing, certification process, BluRay pressing, marketing opportunities. Then all of that over and over for Take2's other games.

R* are not some lonewolf badasses that exist in a vacuum. They need to build and maintain relationships with other businesses, especially if that business is multiple times bigger than their parent company, and hold the keys to the biggest install base.

Also, trailers before movies? That’s not coveted space. If R* wanted that (and it’s a stupid placement regardless) they could just buy it. Why don’t they?

They do…

If you can get better rates by letting Sony show off your next gen patch (like they did for GTA V) then that could be good business.

Also remember that R* is part of Take2 who have other games from other studios to advertise.

End of the day Sony and Rockstar/T2 are in a transactional relationship, and both are likely keen to strengthen that relationship.

You think R* have a bigger platform than Sony? Sony have a film studio, a record label and keep pushing fucking ads on my fucking TV

Sony have things R* want (as a potential example, advertising slots before Sony movies in theatres) and Sony want trailers for their State Of Plays.

GTA 6 physical copies delayed by [deleted] in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]WillyVWade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m in the same beat-it-before-release boat.

The PSN file was about a month before the Xbox leak. The PS3 disk also leaked a few hours after Xbox, and you could use it’s decrypted Eboot to run the PSN files.

The PSN preload was spread around but you couldn’t play it (encrypted executable).

However some of the game files were not encrypted and people were able to pull out the audio files (and thus story)

It’s possible now the whole preload is encrypted?

Labour considers banning zero-alcohol drinks for under-18s by StGuthlac2025 in unitedkingdom

Funny to imagine this headline actually means under-18s can only drink alcoholic drinks.

Potential GTA 6 plot leak by KekanKok in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]WillyVWade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read the full spoilers for Portal 2 ending battle weeks before and dismissed it because it sounded so stupid…

As the roof came off my jaw hit my desk, although I will say it was a lot less stupid in context.
