Often celebrated for its political story, Irrational Games' classic was actually over-simplistic and overplayed.
Epic Games is facing a $1.2 million fine by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets over "unfair practices" in the Fortnite shop.
It might be cheaper to simply pay the fine. Fighting said fine could cost millions due to court and lawyer fees. Fortnite generates well over a 100 million in each month, so Epic has plenty of cash.
But if they did pay it, then they are basically admitting that they did something they weren’t supposed to be doing. If they fight it, they may win and continue to have a sense of urgency for their micro transactions thus making more money long term.
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.
Wccftech interviewed Nathan Yu from Inworld AI to discuss the dynamic NPC tech's applications to games as well as potential issues like costs.
Well written and interesting topic. I can't remember much of Biochock's political statement but I will say that it perfectly complimented the theme of the game. I wouldn't say it's particularly celebrated for its politics, its mostly celebrated for its dark theme, gameplay, unique and thrilling storyline, and a stunning atmosphere.
Go pound some salt. You are totally disconnected.
Chumps like this are not happy, unless it's somehow about THEM...because you know..the world revolves arround them and what they think.
Huh? One of the reasons the games are such potent pieces of gaming is BECAUSE of their ideologies. They made for a fantastic setting and added much gravitas to the events taking place.
Nowadays narratives are so underwhelming you can play games muted.
Please, stop with this nonsense. This is the second article I've read about Bioshock politics. Play Call of Duty or whatever the hell tickles your fancy and leave what is arguably one of the last great games with stories worth remembering alone.
Um, it fit within everything else in the game world. There was clear reason why the plot was setup the way it was, and it's unfolded throughout the story. Bioshock actually had some of the better storytelling and plot in the last decade, made even more surprising coming from a FPS.
