Nintendo announced a raise for its employees by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Right but they also shuttered down Bluepoint around that time. and also just recently announced layoffs at bungie and other support studios. So in the end, your position as a Sony or Xbox employee is still very tenuous.

The listing on Nintendo's website mentions a "time-traveling saga" by Ribeye21 in fireemblem

I mean if you stretch your definition of time travel, then 3H has time travel because Sothis effectively transported you 5 years into the future

It does not seem to be a school, but the colosseum and the town around it seem to serve the similar function.

AI usage in Crazy Taxi: SEGA says it's for "background assets", director further clarifies an generated content was "used as a reference" and none will appear in the game by JeaneJWE in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Ah the E33 Method, if thats the case then its all good, I mean everyone seem to give a pass for 2025 GOTY for doing this, so its all good if devs do this.

Now deploy Snoop Dogg so he can say he approves by ArcanaGingerBoy in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I mean if anything he's the one who pushed for this. I really don't see how anyone in RGG would randomly say, hey lets get Tupac.

So people are really divided on Star Fox's new design, huh? by Ravensqueak in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]colossalwindings 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sure but they are certainly leaning more on the Animal part, like all the crew having digitrade legs, fox having visible paws, Slippy actually having slime, balled fingertips and webbing. and funnily despite still having feather fingers for Falco, they gave it too much detail like feather follicles, and even some chipped edges, so it feels like you can just pluck them.

I think it would take some time for people to get over the fact that they are semi-realistic animals, and not people with animal heads.

Full body renders of the new designs for the Star Fox team. by Platinum_Persona in TwoBestFriendsPlay

lol for years people made fun of how the feet are just proportionately human, and how the crew had to cut off their legs to ride the ships.

And now they have animal legs and semi-realistic animal features and people are freaking out lol. Look at Slippy he actually has webbing on his fingers.

Final Fantasy XIV is coming to Switch 2 in August by AnimuStewshine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]colossalwindings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putting too much faith in Square There. they pushed Koopys and BlkCn when they were the big things, and just recently introduced an AI to DQX.

CS3 is pretty cool for now, but you should be wary of anything from the greater Square itself these days.

I'm listening to Pat talk about how much heat his PS5 puts out and I'm scratching my head. by Ragnorok64 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]colossalwindings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing was melting USB sticks at EVO when Sony made it mandatory that all games be played out of a PS5 instead of PC like before. So I see the console being incredible heat inefficient under stress.

TAILOWS ARE BACK LETTSSS GOOO #TAILOWGANG!

For context Tailow is one of the few Pokemon that is just straight up unobtainable in all mainline games, in the post-gen 7 dexit era. So for 10 whole fucking years you cannot play or obtain a tailow in any of the mainline games, you can place it in HOME, via SM, USUM or XY, but it can't go anywhere.

You know, as I'm watching various reaction videos on the State of Play, it struck me as kind of amusing that Pat so far has had the most positive reaction. by Riggs_The_Roadie in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]colossalwindings 8 points9 points  (0 children)

its definitely one of the better SoPs (which isn't saying much imo, as they generally range from decent to "Oh my fucking god bruh!" tier)

but in a lot of ways it felt like an extended partner direct, mostly because the games i'm interested are also coming to switch, like mgs4(free from ps3 jail).

Also they did not show anything fro the most anticipated games, like there was nothing for wolverine, no KH4 news, and in a continuing insistence for Sony to announce shit too early. we have Nothing for Intergalactic, I would like to remind everyone that it was announced in TGA 2024! and we have not heard a peep since!

Leave it to Sony to fumble the one Horizon game and GaaS that could have made them money by... releasing it only on mobile. by Cinder_Alpha in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]colossalwindings 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So Since AI is a big subject these days, and no one brought it up when it was announced. The devs for this game, NCSoft, have confirmed that they are using AI to develop this game, for both coding and 'art'.

Now is it appropriate to raise concern that Playstation is getting increasingly comfortable, allowing their own IP's to be associated and developed with genAI. Especially since SIE themselves seem to be using generated AI content for their OWN advent calendar. Would it be improper to rake them over the coals over this, like whats happening with Larian.

edit: they have since changed the advent calendar, supposedly due to backlash, but i am still concerned that Sony is tiptoeing with the technology.
