Inaba finding it “hard to get excited” for next Xbox and PlayStation.
Nexon has released its financial statement for 2024's first quarter, and it looks like FPS The Finals isn't proving the hit the studio was hoping for.
The market for games like this is too over saturated to make a dent in other established games' player counts. Trying to start all over with a whole new multiplayer meta and grinding to get better is not feasible when there's already a ton of similar games that have come out before it.
Supergiant Games' Studio Director, Amir Rao, has said that he's worried about some unbalanced boons in-game, with nerfs coming soon.
Wccftech interviewed Nathan Yu from Inworld AI to discuss the dynamic NPC tech's applications to games as well as potential issues like costs.
I pretty much expected them to just be more powerful versions. With the exception of Nintendo, the age of truly unique hardware is dead. Sony and MS offer DRM PC's with a custom OS. I'm ok with that. Sure I love the era of unique systems in the 90s and glad Nintendo still does something like that. At the same time, I like that I know what I am getting and just being a better version is ok with me overall. I care most about games and personally if history is anything to go by. Out of Xbox and PS. I think PS5 will have more to offer me.
he's crazy, the SSDs alone is gonna change the game.
RTX is where the generational leap will come from. It really is quite amazing tech that drastically changes the way games look on a fundamental level.
“Asked for his reaction to the platform holders’ plans, Inaba said: “It’s OK. And by that I mean, I’m sure that things will move faster, graphics will be better and maybe it will be easier with less wait times… THAT’S GOOD FOR THE CONSUMER. “But it’s more of the same, quite frankly, compared to previous generations. It’s nothing that’s disruptive or super innovative, if you ask me.”
I mean he’s right. At least games will look and play much better. I’m excited to see what developers achieve with more horsepower.
“He added: “Game hardware used to be about custom chips that you couldn’t do on PCs. Now you look at it and they’re just grabbing stuff that already exists.”
Sadly those days are gone.
THIS is why Google Stadia is offering something refreshingly different!
