DoucheBagMcSwag, to gaming in Google confirms testing a technology to allow us to play games on YouTube

Everyone: “hey I’ve seen this one before!”

Google: “what do you mean you’ve seen this? It’s brand new”

DoucheBagMcSwag, to gaming in Switch 2: Graphics similar to PS5 and Xbox Series at Gamescom

Lies.

After the Wii U Nintendo gave up on competing with graphical fidelity and features.

And the switch is their best selling device. Nintendo is done chasing the other two for graphics. Not going to happen.

I see the switch successor graphics still looking like shit but…performing better on an improved Soc and upgraded GPU

Pisodeuorrior, to gaming in Switch 2: Graphics similar to PS5 and Xbox Series at Gamescom

I honestly find it super hard to believe this.

Come on, it's a hand held, have they manged to squeeze a gpu the size of a ps5 into a Switch? And how do they cool it? Bullshit.

Also, Nintendo hardware has always been, by choice or not, at least a generation behind Sony and Microsoft, I really don't see them changing that any time soon.

Yepthatsme, to gaming in Starfield has the best release in the history of Bethesda, surpassing Skyrim

Yea it’s an artful masterpiece.

This article is just awfully written.

@loobkoob@kbin.social avatar

It's the second article from this site I've seen today - both posted by the same account - and they've both been horrific. The Cities: Skylines 2 one had some awful title gore, too.

Part of me wants to just block OP so I don't ever see this website again. But part of me doesn't want to because I want the news still, and I think there can be valuable discussion in the comment sections even if the article itself is awful.

NotTheOnlyGamer, to gaming in Quake 2 Remaster will be announced and released next week during QuakeCon 2023
@NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social avatar

Huh. If it's running on a new engine, do you think John Romero could remaster Daikatana on the new engine?

That would be a massive undertaking. Daikatana is almost “broken by design”. Quake II simply needs new textures and RT

shiveyarbles,

Awesome robot frogs in HD

There's a lot more that went wrong with Daikatana than just a new engine.

The entire game was overhyped blandness. Just Romero throwing his name out there to get attention than letting the game speak for itself.

N1cknamed, to gaming in The next Battlefield will ‘reimagine’ the series as a ‘truly connected ecosystem’
@N1cknamed@feddit.nl avatar

Literally just update BF4 with new graphics, some tighter movement and gunplay and a load of new maps and you’ll have an extremely happy fanbase. Nobody cares about the Battlefield cinematic universe.

Until they do that I’ll just keep playing BF4.

@iNeedScissors67@kbin.social avatar

Agreed, just touch up BF4 and re-release it. Until then, I'm playing Battlebit.

NotTheOnlyGamer, to gaming in Sega calls video games that use blockchain technology 'boring'
@NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social avatar

I have no problem with a blockchain used in non-monetary context. Consider, for example, a competitive RTS/TBS which recorded RNG events or keystrokes to the blockchain, which helps show if there was lag, and helps to verify that the RNG is fair, and that both players aren't cheating. Or a game with a "Speedrun" mode, recording input as blocks, and making sure it's all publicly verifiable. Think of a Doom demo file, but encompassing all attempts from all connected players; new routes can be discovered quicker and cheaters can be outed near-instantly.

Blockchain as a concept is of great value to anything where public auditing is wanted. We've associated it to scams and money, and that bugs me. Including more aggressive monetization, speculation, and a profit motive makes a game less fun. Including a publicly auditable log of past events in a game built for multiplayer feels like it would be a value-add.

TheChurn,

That doesn't need to be a distributed ledger, that can just be a database. The only use cases for DLT/Blockchains is where it is undesirable to have a central authority.

Games will always have a central authority - the devs - so there's just no point. Nothing is gained by decentralizing trust, and quite a lot - especially speed and simplicity - must be sacrificed.

NotTheOnlyGamer,
@NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social avatar

You have a point. But it would be interesting to have that kind of a database open to users.

moon_matter,
@moon_matter@kbin.social avatar

It technically already exists. The Steam Marketplace and your inventory is open to both developers and users. But there's just no incentive to implement another game's items in your own game. The most you'll see are one-offs like TF2 Poker Night.

Do you really want billions of computers solving arbitrary random math problems just to write in a random keystroke, of which there are kapillions per hour?

MantidSys, to gaming in Zelda: Majora's Mask art director wanted to work on another 'weird Zelda'
@MantidSys@kbin.social avatar

Is it just me, or does the language in this article feel very AI-generated? And this website is only 10 days old, has only one writer, over 10 articles posted every day by that one person, and is being posted here by an account with the same name as the site. This feels strange.

numbscroll,
@numbscroll@kbin.social avatar

I didn’t think about it until you pointed out those details… but yeah, agree. Kinda LLM flavored strange.

ransom, to gaming in Zelda: Majora's Mask art director wanted to work on another 'weird Zelda'

The world wasn't ready for the perfection of MM

Pandantic, to gaming in Zelda: Majora's Mask art director wanted to work on another 'weird Zelda'
@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

Yes, I would have bought it. I love the mechanics of MM with the whole time system, impending doom, and the way it was familiar but oddly off.

IceCapp, to gaming in Red Dead Redemption Remastered is real, and it would be announced very soon

FYI - The game runs perfectly on the ps3 emulator.

ivanafterall,
@ivanafterall@kbin.social avatar

And just as well, if not better, on the Xenia Xbox 360 emulator.

IceCapp,

Whoops looking further into it, the emular was Xenia that I played it on.

ivanafterall,
@ivanafterall@kbin.social avatar

You're right, though, RPCS3 is also excellent and runs it well.

9284562, to gaming in The Last of Us Part 3 details of and the multiplayer project are leaked

TLOU pt2 is one of my favourite games of last generation. I was pretty satisfied in how they ended it with Ellie, as sad as it was. I would love to play as a new character that interacts with Ellie as a supporting character, but couldn't argue with them wanting to put Ellie in the driver's seat again.
