re: Microsoft wants in-game ads triggered by boss fights, loading screens, & cut scenes

You joke, but I honestly don't understand why more games don't do this.
Depending on the context of the game, it makes sense. Like KFC and Pizza Hut in Crazy Taxi or Burger King in NFS Underground 2. You are driving around a city, it makes sense that you would see those locations instead of a generic knock off.
This new Microsoft thing sounds like a hellscape.

I was finishing up the game last night and got a "you are leaving the mission area." That is hilarious to me considering it is a linear action game.

It never made sense for Halo Studios to exist when Xbox owns Id and Activision.

Everyone has to justify their job and existence, even if they aren't actually contributing to the final product.
It's not a problem unique to the gaming industry. Going from aforementioned "small group of people" operating with "limited resources" to a larger company was certainly eye opening for me with regard to the sheer amount of people who seemed content to simply "push paper" or constantly invent new boxes to tick just to justify their existance.

If it takes 300 million dollars and 5 years for one of your premier studios to make this extremely meh of a product then we clearly need a gazillion more layoffs.
This is what no one talks about. What is taking up all this time and money?
The game itself is "fine." It's a solid 7/10 game, reminiscent of the kind of linear action games we used to get on the PS3/Xbox 360, but 300 million and 5 years in development needs more than "fine."

Not sure Id say best graphics of all time but that was a beautiful game. The shitty state at launch didnt helps its reputation but I rather enjoyed that game. once the bugs were fixed.
I think the game, especially the interiors, can look damn near photo realistic at times.

I'm not sure if they could have picked a worse name for this if they tried. At its absolute best, "WoW Forever" Just sounds like a generic private server.

This is a great example of what's going on in the game industry with people working on games because it's a job, not because they love games (and thus are making something they would love to play over and over again).
That is the problem with more than just the games industry. One could argue that employers bare some blame in this mentality. I believe that they do, but as a millennial, I also feel that in general there is something fundamentally lacking in my generation and beyond.
This kind of seems like the perfect game to play like a week before GTA 6 :lol:

re: Is there a real fear of AI or are all of the larger companies scared of open source?
Posted by BulldogXero on 9/14/26 at 8:48 am to stout
I keep saying this but AI is not AI. It has no idea what it is doing or saying.
Could you throw enough resources at it to kind of sort of simulate something akin to intelligence, yes but that's why the entire rural landscape today is being littered with data centers.

re: Kojima now partnering with XBOX on Physint

Kojima has never been my bag. His games are weird as hell to me. Always thought Metal Gear was very mid. I mean the villain is “Big Boss.” WTF?
MGS and the Metal Gear games that came before were very much ahead of their time from a stealth gameplay standpoint and from a cinematic storytelling standpoint.
Splinter Cell took the stealth gameplay crown. Even before that, you could argue games like Thief were better pure stealth games than MGS.
Then, most AAA games copied the cinematic storytelling.
I played the Snake Eater Remake as someone who never played the original MGS3, and I thought it was a clunky mess.
I do like MGS V quite a bit, but again, MGS lost the crown as the definitive stealth franchise years ago. I had more fun playing Splinter Cell Blacklist and Ghost Recon Wildlands.
re: LSU or Ole Miss - more impressive 2-0 this far? What say you?

Ole Miss by a razor thin margin.

AC Unity:
This is a game that needs to be played at native resolution. I first played it on a 720P Plasma TV, and it was amazing. These days, you can probably run the PC version at least at 1080p, or I believe Unity has been updated to run at 4K (or close to it) at 60 FPS on PS5/Series X.
Really, the game was too much for PS4/Xbox hardware at the time. They downgraded the visuals for every subsequent Assassin's Creed released on PS4.
Modern AC games like Valhalla, Black Flag Remake, and Shadows may be technically superior, but since Origins, they have all adopted a pseudo-stylized art style as opposed to the realistic style the franchise went for previously.

2030? Announcing a release date 4 years away seems like a terrible idea.
It's mind bendingly stupid and meaningless, but lemmings eat it the frick up.
The only time it makes any sort of sense whatsoever is if/when you actually have some gameplay (proof of concept or otherwise) to show for it. Just like that Fate of the Old Republic game that got announced, until I see gameplay footage, the game doesn't exist. It's just an idea in someone's head that may or may not see the light of day.
