Sounds like NoA is getting ahead of unionization efforts to outsource QA. It’s a lose lose situation!

I gave up on cyberpunk 20 or so hours in. The lack of interesting side stories is a part of the reason why. This feels like the article is gaslighting

yes, if you want a controller that will never exhibit drift you have to find one that specifically markets itself as using hall-effect joystick assemblies. all other controllers will (eventually) exhibit stick drift.

They aren’t spending the money to preserve film either. The best case is storing the film in salt mines, and that only slows the degradation. Film isn’t being digitally scanned unless there’s a uhd release to profit from it, and every week that it isn’t scanned, it degrades a little more

Nope. I really can’t get behind this thinking at all. “Generic” is not a term I would ever use for vanillaware titles. They put so much detail and thought into every brush stroke. It’s unreal.

I do believe the days of PlayStation and Xbox are probably numbered. Though atleast one or two more generations are still likey.

I’ve been reading this statement for the past 20 years.

Yeah, I think the ‘successors’ are still in dmca violation (at least one not sure about the other). But it’s still early days, anyway. Yuzu was successful because of the dedicated team behind it. Just setting up other repos doesn’t mean much yet. It’s gonna take months to see how things shake out.

But you can’t deny the potential chilling effect of it all. Nintendo has shown that they will come for you.

Honestly, anyone that was gonna emulate switch already knew, and nintendo has all their big hitters out of the way so isn’t going to be loosing much in terms of sales to piracy at this point. they just want a chilling effect for switch 2

this is a fairly broad question, so I’ll ignore it and just use it as an excuse to bring up my three favourite ports of the past few years - which just happen to be M2 ported sega games

• Outrun: 60fps outrun on a nice display. Doesn’t have the cd arrangements of the saturn version but outrun doesn’t really need that, and man it’s just fun to play
• Virtua Racing: oooh geez, virtua racing has never looked this good before. silky smooth 60fps port running at HD. the game is still the same it ever was, nothing added. but it’s really a joy to play now
• Phantasy Star 1: it’s a shame the other games didn’t get the treatment the first one did, but the quality of life improvements make this the default choice for playing Phantasy Star now. dungeon mapping so you can figure out where you are without a guide and easy access to manual stuff, great time.

I’m gonna just preface this by saying Nintendo suck and I don’t agree with what they are doing.

But it’s worth understanding what is happening here, nintendo isn’t just throwing random legalize against the wall to find something that sticks. They are specifically going after yuzu via a fairly well tested part of the DMCA.

The DMCA allows them this, and if you don’t feel like nintendo or anyone else should get to dictate what device you play the games you own on, you should be looking into whatever you can do to pressure your representatives to add to the many exceptions of that dmca clause for this purpose.

It’s always 9 months away in these articles that get regurgitated every month

People here are blaming politics. I don’t think that’s it. The quality of comments and discussion here has taken a massive nosedive for the past four months or so, no matter what the topic is.

I think it’s pretty simple, the terrible won. Everyone who wants good quality discussion left quickly when people started to act terrible. They didn’t come back. So now we’ve created the toxic enabling environment that is enabling it hard today.

You can fix it with moderation, but that’s a lot of work, and people get really angry.

I’m pretty close to just cutting my losses on lemmy. It’s heading in the same direction as reddit but with less moderation, and simply because it’s smaller, the awfulness is more visible.

Fwiw, the eggs wouldn’t have to be more expensive, the eggs cost what the market will pay.

The only change is that the people profiting from your poor food conditions will profit slightly less.

This is a common lie they tell everyone.

I would far from call the new zeldas masterpieces, but I think my main worry is that he seems like he might be incapable of breaking the formula.

I’m fully expecting the next game to be breath of the wild 3, with a new gimmick but basically the same. And for a series as varied as the zelda series that is fairly sad.

The reason reddit enhancement suite existed was because the developers couldn’t fix reddit. Lemmy is open source, the frontends are open source. You and anyone else who wants to can fix it.

There is no need for an extension.

Someone else already said this, but to be clear, the form of drm keeps the image encrypted through to your monitor, the monitor decrypts it so you can’t screen capture it without breaking the drm.

So… taking social media to something that existed before Facebook isn’t rewinding?

This is pretty funny ngl. What makes someone like this

Yes let’s count them

At this point, Konami shutter kojima productions, throw away the fox engine they had made for all Konami developers to use and fired the goose that laid their only golden eggs. At no point does kojima go more than 4 years between new products for Konami.

If you want to look at it from the purely business perspective, then you can make the argument that their new ceo wanted out of the video games business to focus on pachinko. That’s a valid thing to make claims around. They basically killed off all their video game products.

But if you want to claim that that the game just needed to ship regardless, then well, reviews, critics, players, consumers, they’ll all disagree with you there. The number one complaint is that this game wasn’t finished. And as we’ve learnt Konami seemed to have bad blood that made them vindictive against the developers of the game that likely made things worse.

You talking about the same kojima that delivered endless hits to the company over three decades?
