It’d be funny watching Microsoft continually step on rakes left right and center if there weren’t so many people’s jobs on the line. It’s pathetic behavior from them

I feel like this is all driven by MS diving full force into AI stuff. Their capex is going to be insane so they’re cutting shit left and right to keep Wall Street happy while they set cash on fire trying to make AI something more than anime profile pic generators.

Sony only publishes the PlayStation versions. MLB Advanced Media publishes it on every other platform.

That game was not good, but I sure did have fun as a teen fucking around with the multiplayer. Those early 360 games were weird

Seems a foregone conclusion at this point that they’re going to brand a PC as an Xbox and allow it to run both Xbox and PC games on it. They may not even bother making the hardware themselves like they’re doing with this partnership on the “Xbox” handheld which is really just a cross branded Asus handheld.

While I agree with you in principle, they didn’t buy the Initiative. It was a studio they founded that hasn’t shipped a single game.

Perfect Dark looked cool though, this is a major bummer.

I should spin this game up again

Well, there’s always 686 Ebullient Prism or 2401 Penitent Tangent

Was hoping for something halo since it’s #343

Truly a man of the people

I agree that people glaze up Gabe way too much (the dude has a fuckin mega yacht for Christ’s sake), but in the specific area of games pricing I don’t think Steam is much of a problem from a consumer standpoint. I still think they should give more of the sale share to the actual devs though.

This is sad. I was a Halo fanatic. I read every book. I owned a three foot metal energy sword for god’s sake. Watching 343 waffle on what the hell to do on the game side has been frustrating. They had plenty of bright spots in their games (I actually liked warzone in halo 5…) but they lacked vision and conviction in the storytelling that I think really contributed to the fan exodus.

I hope they can turn things around with their new name and new leadership, but I’m not holding my breath.

Read that in the SpongeBob voice

I’d say it’s an inevitability, just a question of when

Reading this headline has me thinking of that guy who documented all the butt cracks at a MtG tournament

It was a pretty fun DLC from what I remember

MacBooks do not. I think the Mac Pro tower supports AMD dGPUs, but for nearly their entire computer line you’re working with integrated graphics. I will say, their high end Apple Silicon chips have some decent graphical capabilities that are comparable to APUs you would find in something like a Steam Deck or Xbox/PS5, so it’s not a total wash. I’ll see if I can find some M series graphics benchmarks now.

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but looking at this, it looks to me that the best Apple Silicon results for this specific benchmark put their best processors at about the same level as a 3070 or so.

Considering this is the third time they’ve been caught stealing art, I don’t believe it was the work of a former employee.

I’d say the Jeff that hates Mario party, but now that I think about it, I don’t know how Jeff, Jeff, or Jeff feels about it. I only know how Jeff feels about it.

I’d start watching regularly again if Jeff somehow came back

Pretty ugly lookin tbh

If you actually read the article, you’d see your assumption is wrong.

Anik Talukder, a 28-year-old south Asian man living in the United Kingdom, said he apologized at least 10 times to Schmidt-Hori after accepting her Zoom invitation to discuss his Reddit post about her.

I remember thinking when fandom got them “well they can’t be a worse steward than red ventures”

Welp.

This guy sure looks like he gets what nerds want. Eat a dick, Perkins.

EGS has reviews as far as I can tell. I still think Steam is better, but this is a welcome move out of them. Competition is a good thing

Edit: downvoted for pointing out that EGS has reviews. Y’all are weird lol

I mean, that still sounds pretty fun. Their horde mode in TF2 was fun so I’d imagine this would be too

Their crunch culture is def bad (they’re going to kill Sakurai one day), but there is quite a few things they do right. They don’t lay people off and their executives take accountability. Iwata took a significant pay cut when the Wii U flopped.

Currently, in our bank account, we have £2100 (around $2800). It’s not even enough to pay the rent for one month," explains Joseph Redon, head of the Japanese Game Preservation Society. He’s describing the end of the non-profit organisation he set up in 2011 with the aim of properly safeguarding Japanese gaming history before it is lost forever.

Bummer, it looked cool

Valve is definitely a more ethical company but all the console crusading also gets tiresome

So the combat and leveling systems have been reworked, but aside from that it’s largely unchanged mechanics wise, from what I can gather. I just booted it up 5 mins ago so I can share more impressions in a few hours

How so?

They have not, actually.

I don’t think there’s a shot that there is zero mod support. It’s Bethesda’s bread and butter. What I’m wondering is will old mods be compatible/portable? Rumor is the game is running old gamebryo engine logic alongside UE. Looking forward to seeing what this actually is tomorrow

Don’t think we know for sure how updated it is until tomorrow. Mod support is another big question mark

I love my Anbernic. Such a cheap and convenient way to emulate old games.

I wasn’t hugged enough as a child

WHY ARE WE YELLING?

It may be a miniLED since it supports HDR which honestly wouldn’t be terrible. Would even make it brighter than an OLED

I’m so excited to see benchmarks. Nintendo’s offering has a 1080p screen, but I’m curious to see if it actually has more horsepower than the deck and its 720p(ish) screen. My guess is it doesn’t in handheld mode.

Knowing Nintendo, we won’t know until June. Gonna hop over to digital foundry now to see what their impressions of the Wednesday direct was.
