Sony wants its PC ports to help drive PlayStation 5 sales PlayStation wants to have the best of console and PC worlds with its first-party release approach, but how effective is it really?

They thought of it kind of like drugs. Not the most sound logic, for offering a service, but going by this article this has been the plan for a while

This has definitely been a version of the plan for a while, I knew I remembered Sony leadership talking about wanting to make PC players convert by getting them hooked + taking it away, or some version of that with sequels.

29 years ago today, Street Fighter III: New Generation was originally released at arcades in JP. It was developed and published by Capcom.

...and then left the PvPvE part as a "dark zone" sort of mode for high tier loot. The style and the story sucked me right in but the game design chewed me up and spat me back out.

I miss the pfhor and the s'pht a lot.

Man, I want to love Marathon so badly but it's missing all the marks when it comes to raw PvP interactions for me, just like every other extraction shooter. The bots are good and challenging. I wish they leaned into something akin to The Division with a lot of co-op and single player stuff... 1/2

It's crazy how almost every game I'm seeing in the next fest fits into one of like five genres.

And three of those genres are roguelikes of some description.

Alrighty folks, time to pull back the curtain a bit - WWII game is real!

Development is still in the very early stages, but enjoy this concept piece for FLASH THUNDER - a retro-flavored shooter inspired by Medal of Honor.

A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."

โ€‹Got the color pencils finished on this GameCube controller. Still gotta hit the background with some watercolor and pop those highlights with a Posca, but I'm saving that for the final pass.

Even with the good cloud infrastructure, the American internet infrastructure will cut out a lot of people from being able to play games anymore with bad and metered internet still common in a lot of places.

They'll have to get creative to fill financial gaps which probably means higher prices

To paraphrase a friend: stay on the path, make good things. Indie has always flourished in the face of AAA distraction. Times are bad, but let others deskill, pivot to nonsense or chase impossible outcomes. People really like playing videogames. Suits forget that every 6 months or so.

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

Watching it back, you can lerp the camera from the ending point back to standing position to make it smoother on exiting the mantle

Then what you have is the most stable and least motion sickness inducing. It's definitely a tough but to crack.

This is definitely a case where personally I would implement first person mantling closer to CoD or Halo or Hytale. The first person and third person are entirely disjoint, prevents motion sickness. If you are going for a "true first person" type setup either for artistic or multiplayer purposes-
