Look's pretty cool, I'm always down for some PS1 inspired games, but this one, judging from the tweets. is still in veeery early development.
It does make you wonder about their overall strategy. Are they acquiring all these studios so they can afford to just immediately axe whichever ones aren't delivering or because they just wanna keep throwing as much shit at the wall as possible in hope that something sticks?
I'm worried about the long-term impact all this consolidation will have on the industry. Not just for the inevitable moment when MS and Sony decide they don't need Steam anymore but also for if/when some of these studios stop being profitable.
It's not like you're obligated to play either of them, so youre really only out time
Yep, same. As much as I like the idea of a lot of older IP coming back or teams being given some breathing room in the AA/B sized production space, we don't really know how Embracer is going to behave, since they've not released many actual games since they ballooned. For all we know theyre only giving these devs enough rope to hang themselves post-acquisition and will "PapaEA" any studio who fails on try one.

I wonder if Saints Row might not still actually sell pretty ok. It makes sense that reviewers will hate on it, since it's literally just trying to be Saints Row 2, a straight forward GTA clone with no real soul of its own. On the other hand, that might still be something that a large audience is interested in! It's been forever since the last new GTA and there might be a genuine market gap right now for this exact thing.
Critical reception != market reception.
It could still make bank.

Had totally forgotten DeepSilver took a nice chunk of change from Epic for the PC exclusive back ages ago, so even if it's sales are poor, it might still end up close to breaking even on the budget sheet
You live in a region where the game is cheaper than the person's you're trying to send it to.Huh, what's this shit?
since they killed the Russian bear
Wow, never noticed it til now, usually send gifts from the UK to the US when there's sales on
I'm sure it has been quite a few years, I tried to send PossiblyPudding a birthday present last year and got the same message
yup, if the price difference is more than 20% - not gonna happen
yeah, unfortunatelyI'm sure it has been quite a few years, I tried to send PossiblyPudding a birthday present last year and got the same message
and it sucks
With my new CPU, Total Warhammer 3 went from 40 to 120FPS for me HOT
It's insane how much better it looks without sharpening and with DLAA.

That's a lot to take in from one trailer. Plus: solid-looking action, silly writing. Negative: anime
checks google Oh it's the 'Valentine's Day' trailer game. I'm intrigued still, despite the anime.
you can alert me the same on such games :>
Admittedly am a follower of that subreddit to find workarounds for getting rid of taa on games that don't give the option
I find it makes games look smeary, especially at resolutions lower than 4k.

Spidey has finally been defeated by the new Warhammer 3 DLC (Immortal Empire is out tommorrow btw).
Pretty much all I play nowadays is old games so I don't want to add even more to my big backlog. I have so much installed. Also replayed a bunch of OG Doom not that long ago on Deck so I'm not really in a mood for a boomer shooter for now. And I have OG Prey + Thief installed on Deck which I will try out soon along with a bunch of jrpgs. The newer stuff seems kind of disappointing these days. Not looking forward to much other than Callisto and P5R the rest of the year.
It feels like 95% of non-AAA studio developers have stories involving shitty / questionable behavior by publishers. A ton of publishers seem to be something of a combo of your agent + your loan shark which is a bad fucking combo for anyone working with them. I know there are good publishers out there but seems like most aren't
So do I, and I don't want to be unnecessarily harsh but I feel like I've read similar stories dozens of times and not getting a lawyer when dealing with a 250k pounds contract (of any sort) is just baffling.
Damn really feel bad for the devs
Holy crap!
I have not looked at any Spiderman media since I really don't care for it, but please someone tell me that what's labeled "default" there is not what they actually shipped as the default?
That's literally what I would use as an example of "oversharpened to hell", but then I'd probably add that this is overdone for illustration purposes and generally not that severe in real life.
Damn.
Yes that is what they shipped and didn't fix in first patch/hotfix. I couldn't play it more than 30 minutes in one session dut o how it looked. I posted this before

Watched House of the Dragon.
Felt like a good old GoT episode.
Very good episode.

About a month from now Kena will finally be on steam. I highly recommend it. It will also get an update that introduces several new features.
