BNR: This week in game news, Inafune's ReCore has been delayed, Hideo Kojima has been inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame (and Konami can't stop it), CES 2016 kicked off, bringing much virtual reality news- speaking of which, the Oculus Rift is now available for pre-order at $599- though, if the Playstation VR price leak from Amazon.ca is any indication, that's not too bad. This week it was also revealed that Sony is trying to trademark "Let's Play" and Lumosity (the folks who make those "brain training" games) has gotten into serious trouble with the FTC for deceptive advertising- all this and more on this week's episode of Game News Update, embedded below for your viewing pleasure.
VR veteran Survios is currently working on Alien: Rogue Incursion, so we take a look back at its history of VR works.
Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
The Microsoft Store has hinted at the upcoming release of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on Valve's digital distribution platform, Steam.
1 major advantage to this will be launching it straight from SteamVR. You have to make a custom shortcut to get it working right now in VR.
This is good news. It will be much easier to get it installed on my devices without using workarounds.
