As an audio engineer, I think of remasters and remakes as entirely different things.

It is everyone in the tech sector right now. Over-hiring during the massive growth that was experienced during the pandemic, which did not sustain at all.

RDR2 used AI tools to create their beautiful world. They did not craft every aspect by hand. Not even close. AI is way more than just giving prompts to computers like yall seem to think. Leave that shit to the twitter bros.

Why does this “sound like hell”? I know Kotaku is quick to hate on anything that the Twitter Tech Bros talk about (I don’t blame ya lol), but to me this just seems like a tool to help developers? If we can cut through the monotony and boilerplate of development, or if we can use it as a tool to help inspire more…

I get that it’s cool to hate on Overwatch these days, but one of its biggest achievements was creating heroes that had life in them in a pure multiplayer setting. It’s the thing that set Overwatch apart from the other hero games of the time.

Stopped reading at “surprise and delight”. Corporate buzzwords.

Zen changes are huge but not a nerf— anyone who plays Zen knows you put the orbs on your homie who is in a 1v1. Being able to do this for 5 seconds out-of-sight is more than enough time to give them the edge to win the battle.

This is speculation...? You don’t know how Microsoft is detecting these devices.

One of my biggest complaints about nintendo games in the last five or six years is that they’re just too damn easy. BOTW never even made me pause to think. Every Mario boss is laughable-- Nick Jr status, like it’s made for 6 year olds. Idk man.

Bro if I get a ton of TowerDefense / TeamDefense shit I will lose my mind. Pls modders, do it for us.

Agreed. There’s always a lot of “You can just emulate it for free!” but that’s not the damn point. I don’t want to just play the games, I want to experience them. I’m 35 years old. Lemme have this lol.

I feel like a solid 2 months of playing any game exclusively would get you burnt out...

I know they do a shit ton of market research on these things... but you can’t tell me that setting a price of $40 for a few people to buy is gonna work better than setting the price to $2 for tons of people to buy. Like it just seems insane to charge that much.

I refuse to sign-up. I understand that these service games want to manage our accounts, but players should be able to easily link their existing accounts (Xbox Live, PSN, etc) directly from the client.

Digital makes things easier to preserve as you don’t have to manage a physical medium. It’s why converting vinyl to mp3 is so important.

What Gamers are arguing about is not being able to control the digital license.

Why does your character look like the frontman to a straightedge band.

Video Games is the most expensive hits-business in the world and it’s not even close.

Every time Kotaku tells me to turn down the music I just turn it up even louder. That shit bangs.

I love the Overwatch characters and the general world-building that Blizzard has done with it. I love the interactions and the heroes feel so alive. No other hero game comes close.

Obtuse answer to an obtuse question. If I spent a decade creating a video game and got a know-it-all question like that I wouldn’t even bother answering.
