Yeah, or it has nothing to do with any of that - and you don’t have to buy Apple’s products if you aren’t looking for curation. And Epic can choose to sell their stuff elsewhere if they don’t agree.

And that’s pretty cheap. But let’s be realistic, there are at least 32 lines of code, one for each game. And probably a lot of QA testing...and bug fixes that this will inevitably cause in so many games with such different code bases.

I liked that one better than the original.

Ehh, Nintendo is competent enough to keep building their own games and not needing fans to do it. Sega, on the other hand...

It’s buggy and needs a bit more work...but there’s something fun in there.

I felt the same way until around lvl 10 or so. Now it’s a lot more fun.

For what it’s worth, PC GamePass is sorely lacking in games compared to Xbox.

But, this isn’t abnormal for the company that paid for a web browser then gave it away to their users for free to gain marketshare. I doubt they’re acting as nefariously here but when you’re not on the top you need to provide more value to…

Before all of this even takes off, I’m betting Apple will change their terms. Apple’s terms made sense in some ways 5-10 years ago when they were coined. But now, they will need to simply provide a disclaimer that any apps or services provided in a streaming app are not within their realm of influence to curate.…

If you reskinned Outriders with Avengers characters (and you could, easily), Outriders would still be a better game. The Avengers’ content has a huge universe to draw on but still limited it to two or three repeated minor bosses even in the end game and an army of robots to slog through.

The route they went with…

I think the missed opportunity was not having Spider-Man available at launch on all platforms. That alone would likely have boosted the sales.

Cell never showed up in TVs, servers, etc. as was the plan. I’d say it was a complete flop and overly complicated. So definitely “not brilliant”.

Legacy hardware is no longer manufactured, isn’t that the point here? I don’t know about you, but my entertainment center is full with an XSX, PS5, Switch, RetroPie, Mister, and a couple of Analogue consoles. Do I really need to put three more Playstations in there too?

Switch does not use SD cards for its games, that’s not how it works. By the way, when you say “still uses” these, are you implying that it should be using high density optical discs? Moving parts in a console that runs on battery power and is jostled around? No thanks, that is not a move forward.

The reason GCN games couldn’t play on the Wii U is because of the special drive used in the Wii to read those GCN discs. They maintain bc for one generation usually, so no need to do use a specialized drive that can slot insert small discs.

The Xbox platforms are not all x86, only the past two. Just like Sony. You’re completely misrepresenting Xbox and exaggerating Playstation here. They made a big gamble on the PS3 with the cell architecture, and that gamble wasn’t with innovation. Sony executives found that with the PS2 being harder to develop for, it…

I don’t see it becoming a franchise but a single sequel a decade from now would not surprise me.

I don’t know that I’d call it a Zelda clone, it has a lot more in common with other Ubisoft games than Zelda. 

LOL

Are you paying money for a random chance at getting something you want? That’s a lootbox, end of story.

No, it does not. Literally any sort of co-processing could work in this situation, not just tensor cores. In fact, they could produce newer, cheaper cores that perform more poorly at it but are still acceptable for this job.
