BioWare shutting down is a huge blow to the industry. Under EA they have been on a steady downward slide for a while, but as a studio they have been tremendously influential on the gaming landscape, and seeing them go means we're loosing some of the greatest game IP out there. A bad day for rain.

I wanna hear Chris First, the guy that generated Fallout New York (now New Rad City) make the case for AI generated games now that we're seeing more and more examples of this tech being used to screw over indi devs.

A US lawmaker has announced plans to introduce a new bill that would give gamers ownership of the games they buy 🎮 The Power To The Players Act would require publishers to make games playable offline before shutting down their servers

I'm a Bethesda veteran making a game where you are the HORROR VILLAIN -inspired by 80s horror flicks -solo or co-op stealth gameplay -stalk your victims -stay unnoticed & hunt in slasher locations -in the right/wrong hands everything is a weapon GONE FERAL, playtest ⬇️

So Digger is a movie about a play that's about Capitalists creating a real ecological disaster that happened in the films world, with a B-plot about the main actors daughter getting kidnapped, which resolves off screen, and ends revealing humans live in police state created by way of the disaster.

Now that it's back to school time, I'm seeing all these banners and signs that say "Register now for kindergarten" but I keep getting turned away. The fuk do you mean "You're too old"? Are you accepting registration or not!?

While not the EXACT same, there is a pretty strong overlap between the people praising DLSS 5 and it's ability to basically over contrast and mute color, and people who complain that movies (especially anything Roman) mute the colors.

Rockstar made a post expressing their disappointment regarding the leaks for GTA6, where in they talk about how excited they are to show "everyone" the extended look tomorrow (8/27) This extended look is (still) locked behind a Netflix pay wall. Rockstar has learned, and addressed, nothing.

NEW: CWA union members have inflated a giant rat and deployed a wall of red flags representing laid off Xbox workers outside the Bethesda office in Rockville. The protest was timed to coincide with a visit from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who is apparently at the studio today.

New games and remasters and everything, yeah awesome, but when that's paired with intense lay offs - which includes senior developers - that only spells 1 thing: Less polished games made under crunch. I still expect a great game, but I worry about the developers timetables and stress.

Bethesda Games Studios’ Montreal workers are being treated especially poorly by XBOX and we won’t stand for it. Here are the details. If this upsets you let Microsoft know: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...

Fallout franchise update from Bethesda 🎮 • ‘Fallout 3’ and ‘Fallout: New Vegas’ remasters are happening • ‘Fallout 5’ is in pre-production • Obsidian is working on another ‘Fallout’ project

Official confirmation and recognition is always a win, and I'm looking forward to seeing Bethesda support Obsidian in making this spin-off Fallout game. Any modders have any insight or hopes for Creation Engine 3? It sounds exciting!

Given the current gaming culture, I don't see a new Fallout game by Obsidian having a "Return Home" reception. It WILL be successful, but between coming from a smaller studio with a different design approach (Grounded series), anti-woke/anti-bethesda commentators, its going to be a muted success.

Fallout fans will absolutely love it, but gamers being performative for various assassin reasons are going to ruine what otherwise should be a massive win for not only Fallout fans, but gamers as a whole. Only time will tell, and I'm excited either way.

Obsidian working on a new Fallout game is fantastic news, but I hope it's a smaller and more refined experience even than New Vegas was. New Vegas was great, but IMO too large in scope from what the studio at the time was best at. Grounded shows where they're at now, and I like that model best.
