Without good journalists, it’s alllll just PR—and I feel like that should terrify people SO much more than it does.

I love how we're in an age where games, consoles, PC hardware etc. is more prohibitively expensive than ever. And yet you can grab an older PC off the second hand market, slap Linux on it and play a massive library of games that all are likely cheaper than ever.

picked up Dying Light again 11 years later and i’m enjoying it more than i did back then. something finally clicked. it might be that its melancholic golden hour setting and i are operating on similar wavelengths

I know I can't take away the suffering of the people I cherish, but I so desperately wish I could. So, if I can't, then I'll do what I can. I will sit with them in their grief, their silence, their discomfort. I will show up. I will listen. I will be there. We are all just walking eachother home❤️‍🩹

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

I don't think people understand how hard it is to work in the video-game industry right now. If you've been laid off, it can take months if not years to find new work. If you haven't been laid off, you're anxious that you will be laid off. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

For GamesRadar, I wrote about Crimson Desert, Breath of the Wild, and the importance of intentionality in open-world design www.gamesradar.com/games/advent...

gamesradar.com

100 hours of Crimson Desert made me realize how perfect Breath of the Wild is

Opinion | Both are stunning open world games, but the Zelda series' first Switch adventure reigns supreme

I've only played a few hours of the much-hyped Crimson Desert, so weight my opinion accordingly, but those few hours were so boring and soulless that I absolutely did not want to play anymore. Feels like a game designed for people who just want to Consume Content.

"DLSS5 fuses controllability of everything about the game with [dogshit]," Huang continued. "Developers can still fine-tune the generative [dogshit]" to make it match their style, as DLSS 5 adds [dogshit] capability to the existing geometry of the game." www.tomshardware.com/pc-component...

Funny thing with the DLSS stuff - they only picked games that don’t use actor likenesses. Can you imagine the legality of and just the optics of your game starring Lea Seydoux and Elle Fanning changing their faces? Making Conan O’ Brien look like a catalogue model Chris Hensworth?

Those DLSS5 comparisons are making my head explode, what do you mean the future of video games is horrible input lag and yassified faces that whitewash characters? We need to go back to when games looked like Darksiders, this has gone too far.

We got a look at a behind-closed-doors gameplay demo of Control Resonant, and it’s not just that it's a markedly different and not just a same-y sequel, but it’s that its melee combat might scratch a Ninja Gaiden/Devil May Cry/Bayonetta-style itch. Our new preview: bit.ly/3ONJhCb

Anyway all of this is endemic of the mode through which we monetize video game development. It's shifted to offloading risk from the wealthy publisher that can afford it (tencent) to the poorer developer that cannot (wildlight) we don't have to make games like that aftermath.site/indie-game-p...
