Not that surprising an outcome given it was either this or go bankrupt through legal fees as the case dragged on. At least there’s still Ryujinx.
I mean it’s not like Sony doesn’t have a history of failing to support their peripherals with first-party titles. Then again adding PC support feels like they recognize there aren’t enough first-party titles and are trying to pad the library of games out. At least it means the VR2 is less likely to just sit around collecting dust.
Good for them. Also glad they are going to continue developing the KOTOR remake, although with everything that’s happened with that project it feels like it will be years before we see it again.
Not sure which cynical take to go with here. Either they want to get people to quit without the bad press of laying people off or they know the industry is turbulent enough that no one would actually push back against going back into the office for work that could be done remotely.
This is like getting punched in the gut and then pepper-sprayed.
It’s a nice thought, but it’s hard to see how there won’t be shortages and scalpers taking advantages of those shortages. Although hopefully those will just be “normal” shortages and not something on the scale of the PS5 and Series X launches where they were almost impossible to find.
It’s crazy how far micro-transactions and monetizing games have come since Bethesda charged $2.50 for cosmetic armor to put on your horse. If you’d told someone back then that one day an in-game mount would cost more than the game itself they would have laughed you out of the room.
Latter-stage of its life cycle? It feels like it just came out. I haven’t even bought a next-gen console yet. I know that there are mid-gen refreshes supposedly in the works, but sometimes it feels like both Sony and Microsoft are just kind of checking out of this generation
It’s kind of crazy thinking about how all these countries that we think of as so different in culture, religion, etc. used to be part of one state. Obviously levels of control varied, but by this map you could travel from the Atlantic to the shores of the Caspian Sea and never leave Roman territory. But yeah I’d give a reformed Roman Empire ten minutes before we ended up with a Crisis of the Twenty-First Century.
They’re charging people higher prices and refusing to allow them to keep their digital content? They’re basically just handing out the pirate hats and eye patches at this point.
Man can’t catch a break can he? I hope something he’s working on actually makes it to release.
When the politicians say that they clearly mean they’re going to take away other people’s freedoms. Not my freedom. My freedom is going to be fine.
Sure, it was. That was the big problem when the game launched. And I’m sure all the other claims in the article are equally true.
Not surprising given Take-Two’s history when it comes to trademark disputes. I’m pretty sure they went after the developers of It Takes Two because of the name, plus any random business that has Rockstar in the name.
Seeing MatPat being called the old internet is…something all right. Almost as disorienting as seeing all the “Who?” reactions to the news. I guess it isn’t that surprising given how huge Youtube is. I’m sure there are plenty of giant channels I’ve never heard of. That being said I’m curious to see if any more “old-school” youtubers decide to retire over the next year.
Cool. I don’t really care about the name if it means that finding games that I like gets a little bit easier.
Now we just need a PlayStation brand air purifier.
Good. Not every studio needs to be snatched up by a massive corporation. Embracer’s yearlong meltdown is a great example of how that can end badly.
This is a very important public service announcement. Nearly every gaming site I’ve been to has had at least one “All the details you MISSED in the GTA 6 trailer!!!” article somewhere. We’ve officially entered the next phase of the GTA hype life cycle.
Yeah, fighting open source emulators is kind of like fighting a hydra. People will fork the project and one of those will probably emerge as the alternative to Ryujinx. At the same time Nintendo did manage to get an entire team of developers to exit the Switch emulation scene under penalty of breaching the settlement. It’s not going to kill Switch emulation, but they did manage to take down one of the most popular ones.
