Friday’s what now?
“A great AI-generated game before the end of next year”
Mark those words, and prepare to have a good laugh.
Probably not. Even the thing that was shown several years ago, and that hasn’t been mentioned again since, wasn’t a sequel. It was a completely different style of game, and a prequel with different characters.
The first game ended on a sequel hook, and left a lot unresolved. People who asked for a sequel mostly wanted to know what happens next. They weren’t asking for a procedural multiplayer open world with different characters in another time frame.
BGE ends like the Empire Strikes Back. It’s a bittersweet ending in which main characters have evolved, but the conflict is not resolved at all… and there’s even a good guy still in deep shit. Obviously it needs the sequel to wrap everything up.
BGE2’s announcement is like we got nothing after Empire Strikes Back for a decade, so no Return of the Jedi, and George Lucas came back to tell us “we’re doing the prequel trilogy now, no plan on ever concluding the old storyline”.
Castlevania 3 sounds quite better on FDS indeed, but cartridge Metroid is by far the worst case of this in my opinion.
Part of the soundtrack is missing channels that contribute to the main melody. Even the now iconic item fanfare was barely recognizable in that version.
Also of course there’s the fact the FDS Metroid had actual saves on the disk, and they just didn’t implement them in the cartridge version, unlike Legend of Zelda. Instead we got that painfully long password system.
It’s not about the concept of AI, it’s about current developments in generative AI, which is just one approach for it but has largely hijacked the term. This one could burst and disappear, hopefully replaced by something better, but the general field of AI would not.
Also, I’m not sure where you are going with that argument. Despite being the subject of stories for millennia, nobody has invented dragons yet.
There’s that absurd Beat Saber one that is Beat Saber’s titular song with flying goons replacing the blocks. Quite funny
I am guessing this is a rethorical question, but, they already forcibly flag videos as “made for kids” against the creators’ will (and despite very clear audience statistics proving it’s not).
So yeah, they are totally using their magic 8-ball to restrict your content.
Worse, since generating a whole bunch of potentially correct text is basically effortless now, you’ve got a new batch of idiots just “contributing” to discussions by leaving a regurgitated wall of text they possibly didn’t even read themselves.
So not only those are not fact checking, when you point that you didn’t ask for a LLM’s opinion, they’re like “what’s the problem? Is any of this wrong?” Because it’s entirely your job to check something they copy-pasted in 5 seconds.
I have zero interest for Bloomberg in general, but, that’s Jason Schreier.
He’s one of the very few you could reasonably call a videogame journalist non-ironically, and I really don’t think “conservative” describes his views.
Cool, but if they supported it better in general, it’d be great.
I had to downgrade to previous version on Quest 3 because the latest was crashing constantly, and I know many people have had that exact problem for months.
My kindle is from 2011, got it for free from someone getting rid of it. It’s old and dumb as shit and Amazon fortunately doesn’t care about it anymore.
Since I got it, it never had an Amazon DRM-ed e-book loaded on it. I intend to keep it that way.
Wow that’s bullshit. A freaking sports mafia has the power to cripple the internet.
Rayman’s GBA port was… not good. I wonder how this one compares to it, sounds like a lot of effort went into it. Sure the screen is smaller, but if they adapted level design/sprite size well, that might work. GBA mostly tried to port the levels as-is, and ended up just removing some of them and having stuff hidden off-screen when it shouldn’t.
They’re also praising the soundtrack, and GBA’s take on the Rayman OST was absolutely atrocious, so I can only imagine they did a better job.
The question here was if RuneScape gold is a product or if it is legal tender. If it was legal tender then you don’t pay VAT on it, similar to when if you trade one currency to another VAT is not applied.
Even if they went that way (good luck with that), doesn’t that mean farming gold regularly and for profit should still be registered as a professional activity? Or at least the result of it declared as revenue?
I don’t think they want that.
Yeah I wasn’t even aware of the term SPA, but in this case I’d have simply called that a form. Form web pages are almost as old as the web itself.
Wow the thing is pathetic.
I’ve played the first two Discworld point and click games. Let me tell you, I might have believed you if you told me that was a true hint for the first one.
Even knowing the books it got its inspiration from won’t help you with some of its “puzzles”.
About 3DS IR and pokémon, partly :

Apparently it could be used to initiate communication, in gen 6 and 7.
Some Pokémon DS cartridges had their own IR port. Madness.
What do you mean? Everyone knows humans have evolved a second thumb on their palm to play NES correctly in the 80s.
It’s like the panda’s thumb.
We have at least one dev from Motion Twin, who explicitely wanted to stay there and work on new games, being told to leave the company after trying to get them to do something for months.

So yeah, even the part of Motion Twin that wanted to move on seems to have been messy post-Dead Cells.
