Earlier this year, Canadian company dbrand started selling matte black faceplates for Sony’s PS5 console, calling them ‘Darkplates’. Now, dbrand has announced it’s pulling Darkplates from sale after receiving a cease and desist letter from Sony Interactive Entertainment.
Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson said generative AI will allow bigger, more immersive worlds, and the developers were very eager for it.
If you want a tool to reduce the time it takes to make a product, AI is a tool to do that. If you want a tool to just make content for you, AI is a poor crutch for good writing and storytelling.
Time for AI to replace CEOS. That way, when it fails, as it inevitably will, there's no one to tell. The employees can continue to make games, get raises (no CEO bonuses), and there will no longer be bone headed decisions by id10Ts.
Kakao Games announced that both of its high-profile Unreal Engine 5 powered action MMORPGs, ArcheAge 2 and Chrono Odyssey, are due for a global launch in 2025.
Stellar Blade is not a short game, but once you finish, you may want to head right back in given how good the New Game+ mode is.
The problem with NG+ in general is that most time they arent worth doing. Nothing is really added but new difficulty. This games seems to do it right for replayability which is needed these day in games. You dont have to make a game longer story wise and dlc. Do what these guys did.
I think if they made their plates a different shape and used a different connector they could have gotten away with it but besides the pattern they are identical. That's definitely patent infringement.
Well they did dare them to sue. Either way, Sony should just make official ones if they have a problem with it.
To bad, I know people were looking forward to these. Now if Sony doesn't launch plate upgrades down the road, then they should've licensed these guys. Having a console with removable plates just screams to be personalized.
How it started : " Go ahead, sue us. "
How it’s going : " We've elected to submit to the terrorists' demands … for now. "
Sony has to be bringing out their own custom plates soon right? I think they would sell well, especially ones linked to high profile games coming out.
