Mine has been relegated to docked only. I was looking forward to it as gaming as a new Dad has changed things.. But at this point I have a hench PC and PS5. Most people I have talked to have theirs docked an that kind of defeats the point of the switch imo. My Steam Os Legion go s is the new boy

I remember when he told me there were no good games written in c# with no real context. And he forgot a language is just a tool

Switch 1 I have so much emotional attachment too...Switch 2 is a soulless disappointment so far

It's not my taste. I tried it and I am very meh about it. My console got a
Rainbow scratches quickly form normal docking ( I shouldn't have to buy a screen protector) and third party stuff is gonna be better on go s/deck

Honestly the Switch 2 is a disappointment across the board and Metroid and Mario Kart show that

Are the artists on their own? Both Unreal and Unity have this feature from a long time ago

For context:
Unreal license is 5% of gross revenue after the first $1M per title so $ 1.2M at $25M gross Unity Enterprise is reported to include a ~$250k minimum plus per-seat fees. It's hard to see what the articleโ€™s objective is without the broader cost context.. feels a bit click bait

Not really, if you do the maths it's actually on par of not cheaper than Unreal

Right not to be that guy, but is Godot making a big deal about the Stencil Buffer? the thing I implemented in opengl coursework back in 2010?

I rememebr at Uni we were once given an assignment as a team to unpack the lecturers psuedo code and write the code in C#. Looking back on it, I think the pseudo code we were given was just crap

Here is ff9 with the moguri mod, we aint getting an FF9 remake so play this :)

With FF9 remake nowhere to be seen, it's time for new developers to fill the gap. The golden age of Final Fantasy is over. The FF7 remake trilogy is bloated and crap, FF16 and FF15 were both missed opportunities.

07.07.2025 22:49 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It is pretty obvious we are not getting an FF9 remake today so I would jsut go grab the moguri mod and turn on toon outline, 60 fps and the AI backgrounds and grab the anniversary portraits mod

I will go one further and actually say it's easy to focus on that number for media outlets to drive people to their site for ad revenue. There is so much more to this and as Polygon has mentioned it's cyclical

Also again efficiencies does not equal staff in game scope, audience, etc rather than "I like this so I will build it"

And we can unpack how being publicly traded is bad and selling out to a big company is bad rather than looking at your own efficiencies. The CEOs who sold to Microsoft seem to be mentioned nowhere... Again layoffs are shit but the reactions have been surface level there is so much more to it

Oh 100%. When you are owned by a publicly traded tech company this is always going to be a risk. Games is a business much like film and books and this one in particular is publicly traded where they LEGALLY have to show growth. I'm not saying it's good at all but those are the facts

Stuff like Expedition 33 does well not because it is turn based, it is a well-scoped quality project set to a budget and it clearly has an audience

It sucks that people are being made redundant. But Perfect Dark came out in 2000. Zero came out in 2005.

Thatโ€™s 20+ years ago.

With everything going on in the industry, something crossed my mind. Before a game gets greenlit, does anyone ask who is this for?
Kids are on Fortnite, Roblox, FIFA. The ones that grew up with games have jobs, families, and limited time. Why arenโ€™t more games scoped for specific audiences?

The MMOs don't count

As someone who loves JRPGs and builds his own, this is the correct order of best to worst FF games

FF9
FF10
FF15
FF6
FF4
FF16
FF12
FF7
FF8
FF1
FF2
FF3
FF7 remakes

Im sure many will disagree but they forget the terrible elder scrolls balancing of 8

I wrote to my MP about this. The fact it can't operate within the law, means that by definition the industry has failed because it's not actually providing a meaningful product that can be utilised without outright stealing other people's stuff

If GTA hikes the prices of AAA games again, it will be another nail in the coffin for the rest of the AAA space. Who is the demographic for GTA (obviously a lot) but again it's not the kids on Roblox/Fortnite. Teens have less disposable income because adults do and adults have no free time
