BeardedGingerWonder, in X-Men Games Will Be Sony Exclusives For More Than A Decade, Leak Reveals

Looks like the deal doesn’t prevent another MvC game, which is good.

Not even half. Nothing to worry about.

DerisionConsulting, in Brocula is a life sim with a dark side - grow crops, go fishing, grow a cult as a Vampire

A website that doesn’t just use lazy titles like " (new game) is the mix of (game that sold well this year) and (game that sold well 5 years ago) you’ve always wanted"

Voyajer, in Dev Behind Highly Regarded PC Game Explains Why He Raised The Price: "Go Pirate It, I Don't Care"
@Voyajer@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t see the problem here. If you were planning to buy it at $6 would you give up at $8?

Right? At that point, if you're making drama out of it, you're either pirating on misguided principle alone because you're Ayn Rand's petulant zombie, or you didn't have that money to burn anyway. Your account is at zero.

Here I was, thinking it would be some insane hike like a $12 game jumping to $50, for "pirate it, then" to even be a meaningful response. No. It's a $2 increase from...the equivalent price of chicken nuggets.

This was a painfully slow day at the newsroom.

Given the last I don't know 20 years, I truly am happy for slow news days

MrJameGumb, in Brocula is a life sim with a dark side - grow crops, go fishing, grow a cult as a Vampire
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

It looks like a fun game, but Brocula sounds like a vampire who hunts broccoli, and as we all know Count Duckula is already the greatest vegetarian vampire of all time

That’d be Broccula…or maybe bunnicula

Fair enough. Respect the lack of corporate speak

CleoTheWizard, in Insomniac's Wolverine Appears To Have Been Uploaded Online Following Ransomware Attack
@CleoTheWizard@lemmy.world avatar

Mixed feelings on these hacks. Obviously the people that do them suck. But at the same time, props to insomniac for not paying them.

These hacks also usually drum up hype or notoriety of the game for free which I’m sure is offset by the cost of new security, but still. And assets and other stolen data will be hard to reuse and the code and pre-release build are all pretty useless since no serious dev will ever use that stuff. So unless there’s something im missing, they’ll be fine. My main concern would be protecting the personal data of employees and account data.

Squizzy,

This is to showcase what they have to encourage them to pay up, but yeah I agree. All I’m thinking is it looks fun and it’s not even a legitimate teaser.

andrew_bidlaw, in Dev Behind Highly Regarded PC Game Explains Why He Raised The Price: "Go Pirate It, I Don't Care"

David is a very talkative and honest person on his accounts. No wonder he says it straight. Dusk, then Iron Lung did bring him a reputation, he can’t be confused for a random greedy dummy, as he does deliver as a dev and I can’t remember him causing frustration in his fans.

bjoern_tantau, in Nukem9/dlssg-to-fsr3: FSR3 Frame Generation replacing Nvidia DLSS-G [MOD]
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

“An Nvidia RTX graphics card is required.”

Not sure what the purpose is then, apart from showing that it’s possible.

macaroni1556,

Nvidia claims you need an RTX 40xx card for “frame generation”, but this does it with an RTX 20xx and 30xx card.

And I understand the reason for that is still driver level checks that can’t currently be worked around, not an actual limitation of other chips.

Macaroni_ninja, in Asgard’s Wrath 2 fills the fantasy RPG void ahead of Elder Scrolls 6
@Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world avatar

To save you a click its a VR game and the article sounds like it was written by AI. They mention the game’s name in every second sentence and there is no review, just praise how good it is. More like an ad article.

Norgur, in "Beyond Skyrim" mod in Cyrodiil has more voice lines than Bethesda’s game [AI voices placeholder]

Yes, the beyond Skyrim ppl want to replace them, but still:

This is one area where AI will lead to many cool things. Yes, AI voices don't sound as cool as real ones but modders usually work for free and can't afford good voice acting, so they'll either do it themselves with shoddy quality and questionable acting that sometimes even makes the product worse, or avoid it at all costs (ever questioned why so many mods used letters and notes as story devices compared to main games? That's why).

AI voices can be a middle ground for exactly that purpose.

@alessandro@lemmy.ca avatar

It’s also worth remember that “AI voices” don’t always mean tts. RVC is also rising technology: you just need a single modder with decent skills in voice acting, and he/she can make act the whole cast of characters (man/woman, young/adult etc.)

beebarfbadger,

I wish all mods used Microsoft Sam as the characters’ default voice. All characters.

LemmyIsFantastic, in Dev Behind Highly Regarded PC Game Explains Why He Raised The Price: "Go Pirate It, I Don't Care"

Whiney bunch of cunts. Imagine bitching about and then writing a fucking article over this waste of Internet space.

MossyFeathers, in "Beyond Skyrim" mod in Cyrodiil has more voice lines than Bethesda’s game [AI voices placeholder]

Fyi, the article says the AI voices are placeholders.

littlebluespark,

Essential knowledge, thank you.

MossyFeathers,

I was just responding to the fact that OP simply appended “[AI voices]” as if they were trying to lead people to believe that the AI voices were final.

BleakBluets,
@BleakBluets@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t think they were being sarcastic. What you provided was genuinely important context. It changed my perspective of the headline and OP’s ammendment. I would also consider it essential knowledge. Thanks

MossyFeathers,

I wasn’t sure which was why I clarified heh…

alessandro,
@alessandro@lemmy.ca avatar

Fyi, the article says the AI voices are placeholders.

title edited with the “placeholder” word, hope gets more clarity now.

RightHandOfIkaros, in "Beyond Skyrim" mod in Cyrodiil has more voice lines than Bethesda’s game [AI voices placeholder]

Pretty easy to do when you don’t have to pay for the voices.

Norgur,

Doing mods with that many lines is not easy even without payment. Those are hobbyists mind you.
