Mark Rein discussing in an interview with cvg that DX10 adoption is being hurt by console graphics technology.
Video Gamer writes: "There's a rogue underworld of devs operating clandestinely, still creating Game Boy games. We've spoken to one of them."
The long-awaited sequel to the 2013 narrative adventure is currently expected out sometime in 2024.
Oh hell yeah! I feel like this was one hell of an underrated game, and I'm glad to see that a part 2 is coming.
This was my favorite Telltale game. I’m definitely going to play this. Hopefully it has less jank than the Telltale games had. I didn’t think it would happen but I’m happy it’s coming
Great, loved the first game and happy a sequel is coming but after such a lengthy development, are Telltale gonna be releasing it episodic with non specific time delays between episodes? If it is episodic, they need to have a full set of dates laid out for every episode so we know what we are getting & when like Resident Evil Revelations 2 did, buying episode 1 and not knowing when the rest will come is just unacceptable in 2024.
I always loved Telltale games. They were like those old choose your own adventures books.
The organizer of "Stop Killing Games" hopes to get France and other governments to examine the legality of live service shutdowns. Scott has launched a new website, Stop Killing Games, to rally opposition to the games industry's "assault on both consumer rights and preservation of media," as he puts it.
Should probably get them to implement offline mode when it comes to games you can play single player
It's shitty playing something solo and having to be connect despite being offline within the game.
It's worse when you get the games which can't be paused, I remember the doorbell going during a huge fight in Monster Hunter World, it took me ages but realised you couldn't pause. I ended up getting slaughtered after spending so long almost killing it.
Driveclub is one of my favourite games of all-time, but once Sony killed it, it's barely playable in offline; Leaderboards are obviously gone so one of the things I liked to do most in the game, Time-attack, is now pretty pointless, and every race you start there's a red text on thr screen telling you you're offline.
There honestky was no need to keep the offline so integrated with the online stuff, and it's made me wary of other games which are now 'always online'.
should do what gran truismo on ps54 did, after severs shut, they unlock everything in the campaign to be played offline
there's no need for anti-cheat 'always online' which was always their excuse, thats and updating gamer progression
and put out a physical version at the end, it is extra money for them at the end of the day.
Ppl get confused about this lawsuit, this guy has a point, if you don't want to pay for server cause no one is playing that's fine, at least make it PVP, that isn't hard and people paid for the game. So there for it shouldn't be unplayable. Offline is not what he's fighting for but that would be single player. He just fighting for PVP as to dedicated if you going to take it down.
I agree with this one! I hope he wins!
"Offline is not what he's fighting for but that would be single player. "
Always Online does include fully fledged Single Player Campaigns as well. And that's why I think The Crew is being used; The Precedent that covers it all.
Games like The Division 1 and 2 also have Single Player Campaigns, and Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a fully fledged Single Player game but always Online. Which mean that unless uBeSawft patches them they will all cease to exist once uBeSawft pulls the plug.
Again, I think this is why The Crew is being used as the precedent, because it covers all the Online Only bases; Not just the usual Multiplayer PvE and PvP like an MMO or Shooters and their Servers, but also actual Single Player Campaigns that are sadly always online.
Should pin this to let it be on top for a while. This sort of stuff should get some good amount of attention, could actually make some good change in the industry.
SP games yes, MP games, its a question of whos maintaing the servers etc and keeing them online.
PvP games it should work. I remember playing black ops offline with AI opponents but of course its funner with real and AI bots. I know some games are server base but I imagine if hard work put in to it that, it can work offline.
At least on the PC side I say if a company doesn't want to support a game anymore just give it to the fans. They will keep it alive for years and years. Like UT2004 for example you can still play it today, or BF1942. For any SP games I just torrent and keep it forever if they pull the plug. 😊
Then he should just develope for PC only if hes gonna talk down to consoles that way, which by the way probably provides for most of his income.
Consoles are were the money is. Game creation would not been as big as it is without consoles. Home of the true games. But i know pc counts for alot aswell as i have a pc too.
Hmmmm....but what's the point in creating games with graphics that are fantastic and look almost photo-realistic.......when only a handful of people have PC's powerful enough to run them at full potential?
and absolute BS. Just because MS introduces an new Graphics API doesn't mean it holds anybody back. They still want to support all DX9 machines out there, no ? Also, the PS3 uses OpenGL/ES anyway, so they have to code some of the DX10 gimmicks for the PS3 customized anyway. Have no idea if there is a chance to do that with the 360, but that will get stuck with DX9, I'd suppose.
Sure, MS did in DX10 what you'd have to do again on your own (and is possible, see KZ2 lightning engine). It just more convenient to use DX10. I still believe, especially with the PS3, there is a lot potential to even match current high end PCs, simply because, over time, the CELL will add more and more to fill the gap which the RSX can't handle. Its not out long enough to do so, yet.
I haven't heard about these things in the 360, yet. I'd just guess you wouldn't want to dedicate a core to do gfx only, but maybe there is still more room there, too.
To know you have a fixed feature set allows you to utilize the HW to a higher degree then you can on a PC, because it will change guaranteed within 6 month again. It requires some skilled people, though. And technology is getting complexer. Finding the right people is becoming harder. Sure.
I agree, I like Mark Rein, I think he's a genius, but I don't like this condescending attitude he just took.
