  Yeah, it kind of what it was in the beginning, wasn’t it? I remember telling people that it was just like Netflix for games, both in the positive and in the negative sense. And Netflix was still viewed more positively at that point.

  How is it even going to work though? The SDK is under NDA, there is no documentation and devkits are not sold freely, so random studios can’t just develop games for Playstation and upload to a 3rd party marketplace

  Vivaldi browser has one built-in. It doesn’t always work and some websites just block you for using adblocker, but at least this article looked fine in it with no ads.

  Thank you for doing these!

  And I still don’t get what is the value proposition for the Junk Store when Heroic exists, seems like it allows for less tinkering and I don’t see it as a positive thing considering how janky the Linux experience can still be at times

  Maybe they forgot they have to compete as well then, because it doesn’t look like they know how to do that

  I hate this Microsoft cycle so much: buy gaming studios, do fuck all with them, fire all staff, close studios, rinse, repeat. So much talent and so many great IPs down the drain because MS can’t decide what the fuck are they doing

  Enter the Matrix, I loved the slowmo effects and the fights, the first hallway scene felt like it was straight from the movie. Using the computer terminal to unlock stuff felt magical. Only later I learned that Path of Neo was supposed to be a better Matrix game while Enter the Matrix was universally panned. And I’ve played it too, but didn’t get as much enjoyment out of it, it just didn’t have as much soul

  That Nickelodeon Kart series is not too bad too, maybe it doesn’t look or play as well as the Disney one, but at least you get the characters with the game

  Iirc anomaly already uses an alternative engine and doesn’t even require the base game to run, so it would change nothing for them

  Github is a platform to upload your code to using git (a source code versioning system that allows you to store different versions of your program code, history of all changes to it, etc., and to collaborate with other people to work on the same project with each person working on their own part and then merging the changes together). You can check other people’s projects, upload yours, leave comments, create issue reports, copy others’ work and make a “fork” of the software, and much more. Among other things you can download the latest releases of the software provided by the developers, usually installation instructions are provided on the project page, and the latest releases can be found under the Releases tab.

  It is a remaster of those two games from PS1 era.

  Valve tried holding out on a failed game with Artifact, and git 0 return on investment, even after revamping it.

  Still, Concord seemed kind of interesting with how ambitious it all was. I wonder if they could have pushed it off the ground with some redesigns

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony Cancels Two More PlayStation Projects⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They also made shitty movies, on a Spider-Man license no less. Just one crazy decision after another

  Breath of the wild is a technical masterpiece though. The way that they’ve managed to do lights, shadows, LODs, distant effects. And they’ve managed to add even more to ToTK, plus physics based audio, plus physics objects interacting better than any modern AAA game on “big” consoles. They squeezed every last bit of performance that switch could provide to make these games look as good as humanly possible.

  They work with what they have in terms of hardware, and care a lot about gameplay, but they also do invest heavily into graphics and other technical aspects of their games.
