Kojima wanted out of the franchise after Solid 2 and pretty much every subsequent game since.

Konami are asses to work for and Kojima kept pushing the envelope for what they’d let him do for every game he made with them. MGS5 was where they drew the line in terms of scope and budget (MGS4 cost like $40m to make and god knows what MGS5 would have cost by the end of it) and aside from the fact that he didn’t get to finish it, he was probably more relieved than anything to be free of them.

At least Konami makes a decent slot/pokie machine nowadays. They give Aristocrat a run for their money.

Good to see nothing has changed from the days of the original Switch port of the first game. The one with trees that ran at such a low LOD that they just floated. The one that often ran at 180p. The one that they had to contract an outside dev just to remake it competently.

We’ve got DVDFab bots here on Lemmy now?

I can only seem to find this article coming out of News Corp outlets or Murdoch affiliated outlets. Let me know when someone reputable reports on this.

The computer should only be for education, high morals, and bettering our humanity. Not for pornography and not for exploiting women.

God I love all consuming conglomerates.

They better not fuck up Digital Foundry with all of this.

Sunk cost fallacy situation. They helped bring Israel up and have made god knows how much supplying them with weapons and setting up the iron dome.

The moment they consider making any definitively negative decisions regarding Israel’s stance on the war, it’ll be “antisemitic” and shit will fly.

For a second there I thought they were bringing in Don Mattrick. That would have really killed off Unity.

Seriously, how many higher ups at EA go on to Zynga?

The Germans have been making jank fantasy games for years. They’re just only on PC and nobody plays them.

The Saturn was bleeding them dry outside of Japan. They would have either died supporting the Saturn or trying to keep the Dreamcast relevant during the run of the PS2.

Sony was a force to be reckoned with and Sega just didn’t have the funds nor the presence to compete with them.

i hope this stands as a lesson to the industry as to why you don’t go all in with generative AI

not that it will, though. if anything, we’ll have another 100 of these shows in 6 months at least

I used a Hisense A5 Pro CC phone for a few months as my daily driver. For books, colour eink is okay at best but yeah, contrast sucks. It pretty much always will with the extra layers of filtering needed for each colour.

Outside of static pages of text and images, you pretty much need to drop colour depth to pretty garish levels for a decently responsive user experience. It’s a nice idea but really isn’t very good in practice.

There already exist plugins for Peertube that allow cryptocurrency integration.

Setting up a Ko-fi is still the best option to get monetisation going on Fedi.

Finally, a new strand-type game.
