Ryujinx devs sold out to Nintendo: Switch Emulation is currently dead Anonymous 10/01/2024 (Tue) 18:48:28 Id: c92e5f No. 1021411 [Reply] [Last]
Figured I'd share the big news since I know a lot of people currently emulate switch games due to the hardware being dogshit at running games release in 2024 and just for the sake of piracy. Basically it's not a DMCA nor was it a Github take down. The devs of Ryujinx "made a deal" to stop working on Switch emulation and released a bunch of WIP projects in their private Discord group, including mobile ports, Linux multiplayer and native applet support. I'm still not buying a Switch since there's no value to the thing, although this WILL make it harder to run Switch games on PC in the long run. Hopefully someone got an archive of the source code and can continue the project.

343i is dead. Long live Halo Studios. Anonymous 10/07/2024 (Mon) 00:43:17 Id: a4105e No. 1024056 [Reply] [Last]
The title is a bit dramatic, but 343i has been totally restructured and renamed. https://archive.is/7Z9Qr Going forward, they'll be using Unreal 5 and changing their workflow. The article is quite extensive, I recommend you read it yourself. Posting their new introduction video in a second.

That's kinda one of bigger reasons that studios like 343 imploded you have consumers that are strapped for cash for new games (which they were probably buying with a credit card) and 343 probably couldn't get anymore loans to keep themselves up and running.

What does it mean to "never" pay more than $20 for a video game? Anonymous 10/22/2024 (Tue) 15:00:49 Id: 8e4f52 No. 1030579 [Reply]
For example, let's take that statement in reference to what $20 was back in 1992. According to inflation data relating to the CPI, $20 in 1992 is worth $45 in 2024. But that's not the only metric because we have other standards of value. For example, there's commodities. The price of gold in 1992 was $750 an ounce, and is currently worth $2,700 in 2024. Applying that to the game's "standard", that $20 should now be worth $72. But we also have silver in addition to gold, which cost $4 in 1992 (So five ounces worth equals $20) and has now grown to $30 (So that $20 is now worth $150). Meaning that you should "never" pay anything above of $150 for a single game. But this could also be in relation to everything that came with the game as Monkey Island also came with a manual and a little "extra" toy. By today's standards, such content is reserved for "special edition" versions of games, meaning that everything that I just mentioned up above ONLY applies if you're buying the most complete package of a video game. And that a game lacking such content is worth a fraction of that price. I'd argue that you should reduce the price by a third if it's just the game and box (So $100), and probably reduce it all the way down to 25-33% the original price if it's just the game (So $35-$50). But Monkey Island also launched for a price of $60 when it originally release. Meaning even LucasArts admitted that their game prices were "too damn high" and was worth only a third as much as they sold it for. Which means that $150 is now $50 again. Or is it just an overall rule that $20 should be the stopping point altogether and no questions asked? Or am I greatly overthinking this joke?

Former PlayStation head says there's an 'existential crisis' of consoles as platform sales haven't increased in 25 years Anonymous 10/06/2024 (Sun) 14:26:39 Id: 919064 No. 1023714 [Reply] [Last]
This is from June, but I just found it. It's an interesting read. https://archive.is/OkZ7a >Is console gaming hurdling towards ruin? Former PlayStation chairman Shawn Layden gives a frank answer on the current state of play with the traditional nexus of Big 3 hardware. >It isn't trouble, but it's not a new thing. >If you look at the history of consoles, from PS1 to PS5 and everything associated in those verticals, the global install base in any one of those generations never got over about 250 million. No matter how you rack it up. There's at one point in time when the Wii came out, and thanks to Wii Fit, an extra like 20 million units got sold because everyone thought they could lose weight. >But that wasn't sustainable, and that came crashing down. And we're still kind of in the 250 million overall install base of active consoles. I think that's a challenge. We've managed to do a lot over time, and during the pandemic, revenues went up 20-25%, but it was still just getting more money from the same people. It wasn't necessarily bringing new people into the console gaming world. >So I think that's the existential threat to gaming right now: How do you break out of that glass ceiling? TL;DR since the PS1 consoles have sold roughly 250,000,000 units each gen, with those numbers shifting around between systems. He thinks the lack of growth is a long-term threat as the industry keeps extracting more money from the same pool of people.

>>1030532 While emotionally feels good to say, it's not really true. Games as a medium are still growing, but mostly in PC and mobile spaces. It's consoles that are stagnant. Normies and kids don't really care about censorship either, assuming they're even playing the niche weeb games that are subject to western censors. Look at the Switch's sales, the average Switch owner is between the age of 22 to 43. There are more 40-year-olds who game on Switch than 10-year-olds.

Loli games Anonymous 03/09/2024 (Sat) 06:58:14 Id: 123632 No. 944197 [Reply] [Last]
With the demo confirming Dragon's Dogma 2 is shit, even beyond lack of loli MC, let's talk about games that do let you play as a loli. Any recommendations for games not on this chart? With mods Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord lets you play as a loli using base game assets. It's a pretty fun experience. During Early Access they actually had nipples and a barbie doll lower half, but this was changed near the final version. Since the same update made everyone's underwear part of their body, it's likely due to consoles than specifically anti-loli. Anyone know if there's a mod to restore these bodies? I haven't played in a year and I'm hoping for a new land mod to release in a playable state before giving another go with my new GPU. Fallout 3, New Vegas, Skyrim and Fallout 4 all let you play as a loli with mods (3 also makes you play as a loli during a brief tutorial section). Unfortunately most clothing/armor doesn't really fit your character (at best she'll grow boobs) and only Fallout 4 has a mostly complete set of alternate models for clothing (I think there was also a mod for Skyrim to dynamically resize things but I have no idea what it was). Otherwise it works pretty well and is pretty fun. Only reason to play Fallout 4. The demo for the new Alone in the Dark is a short prologue starring a little girl in a dress. Has anyone ripped the model/used cheat engine freecam/etc. to see if she's properly modeled or if the devs took the cowardly way out?

Did Call of Duty kill arena shooters? Anonymous 09/16/2024 (Mon) 15:56:11 Id: b329fa No. 1014925 [Reply]
I've been thinking about this for a while, mainly after playing a few rounds in the Arcade mode of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 that came with my Game Pass subscription. Do you guys think Call of Duty killed the modern arena shooter? I'm asking since we don't really have an active platform in these types of games outside small communities that gather together on a Friday night. I'm mainly concerned since I remember looking for a classic FPS to play with a group of 16 people, and I just couldn't find one. The numbers are too little for there to be a sustained player base. This comes after the failure of Halo Infinite which was really killed by Microsoft's desperate desire for a live service game for the Xbox platform. This isn't to say I don't enjoy Call of Duty, as it IS a guilty pleasure of mine to fuck around and shoot people without thinking about it. Although my main concern is that games like Quake don't really exist anymore since there aren't any people willing to join a match at 3AM on a Tuesday, which is sad, but it appears to be the reality of the situation that only games like Call of Duty have the numbers to support a PVP Team Deathmatch like mode. I know Ubisoft tried putting out a F2P version of Call of Duty called XDefiant, although it failed due to Ubisoft refusing to put the game on Steam because they're kinda retarded. What do you think about these popcorn shooters like Call of Duty, Halo, XDefiant, Quake, etc?. Do you think they deserve the fate of being lost to time, or is it just an issue of promotion.

Series that Peaked with the First Game Anonymous 09/23/2024 (Mon) 01:33:03 Id: d1d808 No. 1017603 [Reply] [Last]
With most series, the first game tends to be something like a rough draft that is improved upon by later installments. But some times you get a series where they get it right on the first try, and later games mess up the formula in one or another. A good example of this is Spyro. The first game is a great platformer with big, open levels that encourage lots of exploration. Every other game in the series turns levels essentially into straight lines that will occasionally have a branch that leads to a mini game. By the time you get to Spyro 3, it feels like mini games take up at least half the game. Also, the sequels feel like they're missing some of the magic of the original. The worlds don't feel quite as mysterious for some reason.

>>1017654 I still need to complete Elden Meme. I only played very little of it. But as for the games I did play I would agree. It absolutely is better than DaS2 without a doubt. I also enjoy it more than DeS. DaS1 is actually my favorite game of all time. I think back on it a lot and I think it came out at a very significant time in my life which probably further plays into why it became my favorite game of all time. Even with that said though a part of me really wants to see a remake that improves the rushed parts and enhances certain aspects of the gameplay that could be enhanced. With what From has learned over the years they definitely could do a fantastic job making this game even better imo. I also like that you didn't parrot the common meme about the whole second half of DaS being complete shit. Its just not true. Most of the bad in the second half of the game is Lost Izalith anyways. That area I will admit does definitely suck and could have been a lot better. That is why a remake would be great since it could improve the whole area for the better. As long as its From themselves that do it and not some god awful western studio. >>1017656 I liked BB a lot. It even has some aspects about it that are definitely better than DaS. The horror vibe for BB is definitely top notch and I would say probably exceeds any of that stuff found in DaS. I also feel like the melee combat is better overall. It will certainly play a lot better over the years in this regard than DaS will. I still like DaS better though. It has a lot more variety not just in the visuals and environments but even in interesting gameplay options and builds you can do. Magic is such a fun aspect to these Souls games to me due to how overpowered they can be but often also there is a high risk and reward in place using them. So BB is also an amazing game but I see it as a lot more one note. What it does well its exceptionally great at. But its a lot more one note although this is probably for the best of the game it was this way.

Bandai Namco All-In On DEI after seeing rigged survey Anonymous 08/28/2024 (Wed) 09:51:12 Id: b9d7da No. 1006521 [Reply] [Last]
So I just woke up to seeing this article, and it just makes me think about this thread >>1004518 on how the video games industry is run by out of touch retards who are going to ruin these companies by appealing to an audience that doesn't buy games. I just don't get it, you see it failure after failure that this isn't something people want. Yet they insist on putting it in their games. I'm thinking it might have to do with these faulty surveys made by companies like Newzoo who I think are worth looking into. Especially now, as Japanese companies are being misled due to the language barrier and politically motivated employees. Just look at examples like Concord and Forespoken, hell Bandai Namco has an upcoming flop known as Unknown 9 which is specifically made by former Sweet Baby Inc people, and will be boosted by AMD card sales along with the new Space Marine game. Although if you look everywhere the game is promoted, it's getting HEAVY backlash from more authentic sources. I wonder what would be an effective way of giving them a proper message, since these survey companies clearly have some sort of political agenda or closed off pooling data. Perhaps we can contact shareholders and ask them to disinvest after Unknown 9 flops and use both Unknown 9 and Blue Protocol's failure to launch in the western market as examples of why they should disinvest from Bandai Namco until they get their shit together. https://www.4gamer.net/games/999/G999905/20240826044/
