In FPS yeah, but not really relevant for ReMatch and probably not for Elden Ring either.

Oh my, G-SHOCK and NFTs! I never could have imagined I’d feel warm fuzzy nostalgia about such a thing.

I’d gladly go back to NFTs at this point

Yeah, never could get into SWAT, it greatly increases the skill gap, so people who play it all the time can just headshot you before you have a chance. The most fun modes were always the chaotic ones with hammers and rockets involved. Oddball and CTF come to mind.

I don’t think there was ever any doubt about that.

Imagine… a bright near future, where all games on GamePass are 100% AI created from a single prompt by the CEO. Imagine the shareholder value!

How do they do this? Xbox is a big ass company that pays super well.

Hmmm, maybe you should read what I said again.

Game design is one of the only things that I try to engage with seriously on Lemmy. I was genuinely discussing elements of genres that aren’t as cut and dry as you dismissively poo pooed without actually providing any backup for what elements you think are crucial to any of those genres. There was no real discussion, but thst was not because of me throwing in some sarcasm occasionally.

The mods have removed some of my comments for some reason and I guess I will just stop engaging seriously here and go back to shitposting. Trying to talk seriously about elements of game design is obviously frowned upon and just repeatedly calling someone stupid and wrong is encouraged.

Did you read my username, or did you ignore that text like all the other text on your screen aside from the corporate messaging? At least you managed to understand my whole bit, if nothing else.

Meet you back here in a few years when Embark reveal their next game.

You just can’t accept the fact that you could possibly be wrong can you?

True I did double down on my completely facetious initial comment.

The conversation isn’t going nowhere because of me though. You’re obviously completely ready to discuss elements of game design and completely accepting that you might be wrong.

So wildly incorrect that I’m convinced you’re trolling.

You can think that if it helps you sleep if you like.

I guess BRs must all have some sort of airdrop beginning, a deadly moving circle and permadeath. In which case I guess Apex, Warzone and PUBG itself ceased to be BRs since they introduced respawning. From now on, everything will be labelled “Arena Shooter”.

Take the blinkers off, have a sip of water, calm yourself down a bit.

I love The Finals. You don’t need to jump into a thread to defend it from me like it’s your first lover. Getting worked up about me labelling it a Hero Shooter and then stating it has zero elements of a Battle Royale is absolutely deranged. Battlefield is literally one of the origins of the hero shooter genre. Classes and gadgets are very customizable but have hero shooter mechanics in that the 3 different body types have distinct abilities and utilities.

It may not be a “circle closes on one lifed competitiors” pure PUBG BR. But it is a dystopian game show where people (albeit avatars) are pitted against each other in a fight to the death (albeit with a monetary points scoring element). Like, you know, Battle Royale.

Oh holy shit stop the fucking presses. An online multiplayer fps is not a single player game? No way.

Oh so you agree they tend to make only multiplayer live service games? Which was my entire point. I guess there was no reason to argue about genre based semantics at all!

Battle Royale bro? Not in the strictest sense of “is it PUBG”, but it has a lot of the genre’s elements in there. It’s basically a hyper speed Hunger Games with heroes. I’d say it’s a fusion of BR and Hero Shooter for sure.

The point is, it is about as far from a single player experience as you are going to get.

You might be waiting a while for that. Venture capital funded and so far have made a Battle Royale and an Extraction Shooter. Will probably be a Survival game next if a new trend doesn’t come along first.

How dare they? They should be starving themselves so they can play great art such as Concord.

Its funny that people had more time at home and remote work and the games industry had a massive boost. Now people can barely afford to eat, need to commute hours every day, have the looming threat of being thrown in a concentration camp and maybe even a civil war on the horizon. Why aren’t people buying $100 games???

Most people are ignoring it these days anyway…

It’ll be fine because with CoPilot all 10 of the remaining programmers will be able to do the work of 1000!

That or we’re going to see increasingly shoddy AAA titles in the near future and the industry is going to implode.

follow Microsoft’s lead in removing layers of management to increase agility and effectiveness

I didn’t realise the game was being developed entirely by management.

Also I hate the “increased agility” line. No-one gets more agile by having to cover the work of laid off folks on too of your own workload.

Surprising amount of comments that are OK with this and completely missing the point that Steam requires disclosure of AI asset usage. The devs neglected to tag it as such and people are rightly getting refunds for it.

Psst hey kids! Wanna fly some spaceships?

The first one is free, right? Right?

Another copy of a copy that didn’t become the next CoD somehow. Keep trying AAA CEOs, I’m sure the next one will be it.

Maybe the Saudis bought it on a whim

The man is a Democrat, a physicist and non-religious. Most have been in politics too long to come up with this dumb idea.

If you look at his quote, he’s literally saying that 80-90% of the game code is being written by AI.

If a game was 80% made by AI it would be literally unplayable.

I blame matchmaking and the death of the server browser. Having a regular server you’d join to play for fun, rather than every game being an arranged esports sweat fest really, was the peak of FPS multiplayer.

Well I was being facetious, but this proof of concept seems to prove me right.

Monitors are now obsolete.

Roblox is only interested in the kids of hands-off parents. Preferably the ones with good credit.

Any game you can use sharts is a win

Beta gameplay footage leaked for Battlefield 2025/Battlefield 6

As EA and DICE stated, this new BF game is still in a pre-alpha stage.

Is this an AI article or do they not know what order Alpha and Beta come in?

We made profits, but not quite as much as we wanted to, so next time we will make a franchised sequel with AI workers instead. Nothing can go wrong.

Everyone is trying to cash in on the incest craze

People saying that these budgets are too damn high, but even with Cold War (which had a huge downtick in sales number and higher budget than the others) it’s still making up to 3x the budget back on sales. Why wouldn’t they keep doing it?

Poor baby

American football is okay. Just scrapes into the top 3 of American sports for me.

Biggest GLOBAL even in the WORLD of American only football*

*Other football has 10x the viewers

Yeah what is this comparison? We all know the superbowl exists, but American Football… ew.

Yeah, if you ignore like ALL of the nominations and winners at The Game Awards for the last 10 years and take a look at checks notes Fortnite

I was wondering what you meant by Top 20 until I checked their website. I thought it was just still BR with some variations. It’s basically Roblox now.
