April 13 saw a big Final Fantasy 16 gameplay presentation as part of a PlayStation State of Play broadcast.
Now, the following day, Final Fantasy 16 sits atop Amazon US's best-selling games chart, overtaking the likes of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, NBA 2K23, the Resident Evil 4 remake, and the Dead Space remake.
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.
Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.
According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."
My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
Heard about this. People came away seriously hyped after the State of Play deep dive, so presumably everyone's rushed out and pre-ordered it.
It does look awesome. Seems to incorporate all the best parts of the top games in their genre into one Final Fantasy package. Easy day one.
Not really news, it's not even in the best sellers for 2023 so this bump doesn't prove much. Even Forespoken topped the charts after showcases.
But again I hope it sells well because SE needs a win.
Ive never played a ff game before but this one looked really good. Might have to be the first one i play
So much for Christopher falling off his rocker and ripping into this state of play.
Day 1 no question. Sony exclusives never disappoint. i enjoyed forspoken very much, despite the jealous hate it got from xbox fans.
