Interesting considering "record engagement." I can't imagine that was just a lie, was it?

What exotic science fiction technology would you finance research into, if you had billions of dollars? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I don't know how plausible this is, but a way for trans men and trans women to exchange sexual traits. There might be an answer elsewhere in that there are animals that can change sex in certain conditions so there is some biological evidence of possibility in a singular case. However it seems anti-poetic that we have genetic females who want to be genetic males and genetic males who want to be genetic females and the answer that we currently have as society is for them to go fuck themselves.

I guess for more realistic, then deep dive VR.

Talented team, based on putting out some of the only interesting recent stuff in Activision's catalog. I look forward to what they put together!

Sega implies Super Mario Wonder was responsible for Sonic Superstars selling less than expected in c/games@sh.itjust.works

They don't want it. I don't have a link, but when talking about the lead up to the game it was said that Sega didn't want a Mania 2 because they feel that 2D games don't sell like 3D games

Unity shares sink on weak guidance in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Turns out pissing everyone off wasn't the most profitable of strategies. I'm sure they'll give it a few more tries before ruling it out, however.

More than 500 games on Steam earned over $3 million in 2023 in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Wouldn't be surprised at all if they are legit downloads. Gaming feels like a high tier way of recreation when outside is off limits. You can only build so many snow men before it becomes old

Sony is now testing PSVR 2 support for PC in c/games@sh.itjust.works

[–] Paranomaly@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 months ago (4 children)

The biggest thing holding me back from getting one has been the console lock. I have a PS5 but would want to use it on PC more. I've thought about saving for an Index but know that the moment I buy one is the moment they announce Index 2

It will know the folly of its ways then and pass the information to all children you have post mortem.

Sega's new Crazy Taxi game "AAA" in scope in c/games@sh.itjust.works

[–] Paranomaly@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 months ago

Really wish Sega would experiment a bit with lower budget and lower stakes games with these dormant IP.. Crazy Taxi could be great but I don't think it will be a smash success. There's plenty of room for more good middle shelf games which I think this would be perfect for.

It looks like Suicide Squad is going to clock in around 9-10 hours based on my capture time. Probably a little shorter if you don't do some boss fights with under-leveled characters. in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Not to defend this game in particular, but criticizing a game for its length vs cost alone is a bad trend that leads to Ubisoft-esque bloat and padding. There are plenty of shorter games that were well worth the price (Revengence, Titanfall 2, Portal 2, hell, most of Valve's full single player games to name some)

Why the fuck didn’t I do this years ago?

Because it is quite hard, especially to get momentum going and OP should be proud of the achievement.

Minecraft Legends development officially ends today with one final content update in c/games@sh.itjust.works

NY main criticism as an observer is that they don't seem to use anything except for the Minecraft aesthetic, as if that is the key to what made Minecraft popular. You'd think these games would have some building aspect to them.
