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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

I rather like what he said. It is completely reasonable in my opinion.

Here is his full response:

“Yes, no f**king shit, I make games for a living,” he said. “If I didn’t want to earn money from them I wouldn’t charge money for them. I like the business model of ‘I want money so I make something that I think is worth money, and you pay me that money and you get the thing, and we’re all happy’ That’s it. There’s nothing complicated or hidden here.”

“If you don’t think the things I make are worth the money I charge, that’s completely ok,” he added. “Don’t buy them, or wait for a deep sale, or go the sneaky route and get them for free or whatever, and please tell me that so I can adjust the prices for whatever I release next.”

Not even half. Nothing to worry about.

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.

Fair enough. Respect the lack of corporate speak

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

Welp, time to play on an emulator.

conciselyverbose,

It means Sony has the rights to make X-men games, not that they won't be on PC. And they can still license X-men characters in other games, as well, provided they aren't exclusive to platforms that aren't playstation.

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

It will at least be primarily PS exclusive.
PC is just to get more $$$.

conciselyverbose,

It will launch on PS first, but this doesn't tell you anything about whether they'll bring it to PC, which is what the title implied and the person I responded to read it as.

big_slap,

yeah that’s how i read this as well, wasn’t there a pc demo that was leaked?

tacosanonymous,

The dev demo is a build playable on pc. That doesn’t mean anything about the end product, though.

ILikeBoobies,

It will be more than 10 years before we have a PS5/6 emulator that can play it

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.

otp, in SNEG re-releases slew of retro SSI and Mindscape PC titles [GoG and Steam]

Where’s the list? Skimmed the article and tried a link, but couldn’t find it…

As rule of thumb, you can always open any steam/gog game from the publisher… then click the publisher name to get the list directly from the store…

www.gog.com/en/games?publishers=sneg

store.steampowered.com/search/?publisher=SNEG

otp,

I didn’t know about that; thank you!

I just saw mine. It’s pretty cool to look back through my stuff for the year.

Klystron, in Steam Year in Review 2023: how to see your Steam Replay

I wish gog had one too… I’ve transitioned to only buying stuff from steam if it’s not on GoG. Missing half a year of gameplay haha.
