So apparently in Metroid Prime 4 the motorcycle desert section is by design supposed to feel isolating and eerie hence the lack of music.
You can unlock a "radio" or "jukebox" for those sections that plays other tracks from the game by beating the game/using the amiibo. It's a bonus.

Capitalism worked when companies used to invest and compete to make better products that people in turn would really want to buy. Value for the consumer.
Now it's all about making the cheapest product possible with the cheapest pipeline that will still sell. Value for the company/share holders.

The people who do this are garbage along with scalpers and rage bait content creators.

For @aftermath.site, I spoke to @imodrew.bsky.social, the Sucker Punch dev fired after making a Charlie Kirk joke.
She paints a picture of an industry that all too often ignores bad actors until those bad actors threaten them financially.

Wicked For Good definitely feels padded but that was always going to happen having Act 2 be its own movie.
It's darker, sadder, and a bit more disjointed but it sticks the landing. Walked out appreciating my friendships and what they mean to me.
I really like this adaptation.

Not to throw shade at Shroud but he also did say that "multiplayer games need a win" about an industry dominated by live service and multiplayer games ...
Also, it's not that the world isn't ready for AI it's that no one who respects games as an art form respects generative AI.

There is no middle ground in discourse between AI tools (the middleware mentioned) and generative AI because they're two different things!
AI tools are there to help streamline and speed up the dev process, generative AI is there to replace devs. There is no middle ground here imo.

"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

With how people currently feel about Microsoft (aka the future of Xbox) and even to an extent Sony, this might actually be the perfect time for Steam to strike and try to convert some console players to their PC ecosystem.

Valve is making a console. The Steam Machine, a sleek box with the guts of a mid-range PC that runs SteamOS, will arrive in early 2026. Prices TBD, but unlike the failed Steam Machine initiative from a decade ago, this is Valve's own device. Big news www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
