Breaking the camera for those cutscenes to see how they made it is wild. They clipped the helicopters into buildings to get certain shots.

EA's AI Game Development Tools Are Apparently So Bad That It's Costing More Money To Fix Their Mistakes

A new report suggests that EA's pivot to AI is just causing costly mistakes, and the developers hate it.

Loved the demo— but I don’t know whether to jump on this yet or wait for all the episodes to be released.

To be fair, the ability to make a giant trash bin appear infront of you from literally nowhere: Really illustrates the overall game in-general… More than the welding-torch-bolt clippers-gun ever could.

Someone should make this into a real thing. As a joke. Or an indie horror game. Or both.

I realized that when Xbox purchased Double Fine we had hit our max-gaming-irony moment. They were going to publish the first Psychonauts game but then left DF during its development. Now we’re getting multi-platform Halo.

Maybe replace Clair Obscur with Infinite Wealth. Getting to show that game to my cousin who actually lived in that area in Hawaii was a treat.

Nickocalypse @nickocalypse.bsky.social · 2d

FFVII Rebirth
Clair Obscur
And say it with me, everyone:
Powerslave Exhumed- why did nobody say that with me?

I don’t know where to put Infinite Wealth because that came out a few years ago now, and I sorta started playing it before the holidays last year.

75 billion to purchase Activision, so that’s 75 billion they have to make-up so they cut things… while doing this.🤦‍♂️

For godsake, the game has been a meme since before the internet.

I can’t wait not to buy this.

Nickocalypse @nickocalypse.bsky.social · 7d

Loved it.
Clearly remember a 45 minute death scene that went so long I began laughing.
But I do remember enjoying the game on it’s release.

I think high costs and a fractured Democratic Party was more responsible, versus having unidentified masked men splitting families and rounding-up kids inside a church.

But maybe people did specifically vote for that. Those would be some incredibly fucked-up people.

Don’t take away my horrible dream of having Windows default the command line to being voice controlled, and people are forced to yell outloud their file directories for a month until they reverse it.

Hell has frozen-over and we are in the weirdest timeline.
There’s for some-reason a new #Bubsy game, and its demo is unironically great. End times are upon us.

Nickocalypse @nickocalypse.bsky.social · 11d

The ending is so nuts it sets up a third game where the main-character basically has super-powers fighting a global conspiracy. Really wanted to see how more insane it could get.

First game is something like the film Seven, third game would have been Man Of Steel. It’s hilarious.

Nickocalypse @nickocalypse.bsky.social · 11d

And for context, you do everything you’d normally do at the end of a game in it. Attack the bad guys lair, even fight the final boss. But the writing is so bad you have no idea what any stakes are, or what you’re doing, that the end just “happens”. So the credits roll and you’re like: oh it’s over?

Nickocalypse @nickocalypse.bsky.social · 11d

Not the ‘worst game’, but when it comes to game credits I can’t shake the ending of the original Destiny out of my head. The story-telling was so bad, it’s the only game I’ve ever played that when the credits rolled I was genuinely surprised, because I had no idea I was at the end.

Nickocalypse @nickocalypse.bsky.social · 12d

The covers of many mid 2000s PS2 budget titles, have this uncanny look sometimes. It’s like they make you question if they actually exist or are some-form of internet shit post. Everything about this cover screams “I just learned Photoshop” but I wouldn’t be surprised this thing was actually sold.

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

Went to PAX once and watched as someone tried his best to get Kojima to sign this. (He failed)

I like the part where they canceled the original Tron 3 for more Pirates films, and then made a Tron 3 that has nothing to do with the first two films.

Disney is smart and run by people smart money.
