Dave McCarthy, head of operations at Xbox ,told The Telegraph that he wants to “push the industry to recognise that it is challenging to be a parent and manage digital and online.”
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick doesn't think AI will reduce employment or lower development costs, and calls it "stupidest thing" he's ever heard.
They already have AI trained to do coding.......
How he thinks it's stupid is beyond me, Especially since we see it happening in real time.
I think maybe sometimes we give people in these positions too much credit when it comes to intelligence.
As long as it doesn't effect his inflated executive salary or his ridiculous bonuses I'm sure he's fine with it.
The Persona / Shin Megami Tensei cosplay gathering allowed fans of the acclaimed JRPG series to meet up during FanimeCon 2024.
Frame generation technology has arrived on consoles, amplifying frame-rates and potentially transforming experiences.
Impressive results... sadly I don't have a 120hz display. I was thinking this technique could increase fps on any game that supports it regardless of the display.
Now I've extensively tried it I'm not too fussed about 120 fps. Give me a locked 60 and more details and I'm more than happy
120 is a bit slow. My eyes can't look at anything less than 260fps.
How about the WHO come up with a program for the parental sickness that afflictly most parents. You know the one, it's where a parent blames 90 percent of their kids problems on everyone and everything else and let's their kid do what ever it wants instead of parenting
Why must game companies do more to curb overuse? What could they possibly do that they already don't? Parental controls are there. I think Xbox, or maybe it's PS, has a feature that can alert you at regular intervals about how much time you're playing. none of this is relevant to adults who own their own systems, and don't use the features, so realistically, outside of having a nanny installed at an OS or game level to cut your time down arbitrarily based on what someone feels you should be playing as a normal person, what can be done? Add a disclaimer that maybe if you play a lot of games, or play for a lot of time, that you may have an addiction? Such disclaimers don't work, although there is nothing wrong with maybe informing people and offering a way to get help if they want it.
I can sometimes game for a whole weekend if it's raining outside, or too cold to work in the shop, or during the week if I don't have much else going on. I can devote a lot of hours to gaming...well beyond what a normal person does. I find time during my lunch breaks to play a bit as well. I don't shirk my responsibilities, and there is no way for a publisher or console maker to discern if I am an addict, or have a disorder, of if I'm just someone who really likes to play games.
If the WHO wants to classify gaming addiction as a disorder, that's fine, but there is more to it than just saying it exists. There needs to be root causes listed, as well as potential treatments. Studies have to be done to ascertain that kind of thing, and about the only studies I see nowadays are some non-peer reviewed studies which come to arbitrary conclusions, and state that gaming can produce chemicals in the brain. Neither of which suggests that gaming is addictive, or that it can be a disorder on it's own.
I would like statistics on those who are diagnosed with this disorder, how many of them are also diagnosed with other things like depression, social anxiety disorder, ADD/ADHD, or some other less common disorder which causes people to not be active in society or place the wrong importance on the wrong things.
Mp grindy tactics should be cut back and made better. Like Why should I take more time time to level up in COD nowadays and why does Rainbow Six coming with only one operator still a thing? The people who don't complain are stupid idiots that are asking to be abused.
The same WHO that says you are mentally sane when you mutilate yourself cause you feel you have the wrong sex.
What can the game companies really do though? It's on us to sort it out isn't it? They sell the console and games, we buy and play them, what is it they should do more of? If they start controlling how much time we can play for etc then sales will slow, Games already come with warnings saying not to play for too long and to take regular breaks, parental controls are also available on consoles, if you or yours are addicted to this hobby then it's on you to sort that crap out, not Ms, Sony or the other gaming companies.
