@RoomWithaMoose welcome to gaming in 2025! The press pump the most mundane games as goty territory and try to ignore as and indie ( that’s getting a lot harder now though)

The ram shortages will last for years. The world has over 1200 data centres being built for ai. One of those data centres is the size of manhattan.

Intel, micron and tsmc are all building multiple fabs to help build more semiconductors but these won’t be in full production for years. The global capacity for manufacturing is currently reached so I don’t see things changing for at least 4-5 years.

Someone tell HH this before he nukes PlayStation into live service slop irrelevance! Let’s be real everyone is ecstatic with ghosts of Yotei because they have been starved of single player exclusives. Ghosts wasn’t even a top 5 exclusive of the ps4 era but now it’s the peak of ps5. Depressing

@PerpetualBoredom such a lazy take

Kcd2 might be the best rpg of all time.

Kingdom come is the type of game big studios detest! The game has so much depth that the aaa devs don’t want to include into games. They would rather spend the budget on new grass tech or how the clothing is so detailed.

The things that actually matter are neglected by the failing big devs and publishers

Game awards are a joke anyway! It’s clear some of the gaming media are stirring this ai drama because they know it will eventually come for their jobs.

How much time do people spend on the Home Screen? I have never considered changing the background once tbh.

The most boring topic in gaming is going to rear its head over and over. Let’s just assume that every developer is using ai in some fashion and move on. They won’t stop because 2% of the vocal players moan about it.

I can’t wait for more ai to be used in game development. In a few years studios will be able to churn out content so much quicker for less cost and without the crunch that people also like to complain about.

People absolutely love the VR for this game. I believe that’s why so many people are still playing

Be mad about crunch, development times and Ai 😬 maybe one thing can help fix the other two issues 🤷🏻‍♂️

@graymamba quoting my favourite artist 👌🏼👌🏼

Ps5 sales starting to decline is probably expected 5 years into the systems life. The overall market trend is no doubt making things worse though.

I struggle to look at my phone in a vehicle never mind playing a game. I think I’d barf

This game won’t release until ps6 is out. What a complete waste this generation has been for Sony first party studios. This live service push really messed up the whole gen

Yikes this one will probably crash and burn.

I guess this will be reskinned and released again very quickly.

@Neonix so your argument is what exactly? You think a few people moaning on the internet will change the trajectory of ai? We are at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution mk2. 50% of the world will lose their jobs. Do you see your local politician trying to stop it?? Complaining on internet forums or Twitter is a complete waste of time and energy

Not one dev in the world will care about the few people raging on the internet threatening never to buy their games again. It’s so futile and bordering on the ridiculous to think your moral outrage will make any difference.

Game development is too long and too expensive. Ai will help reduce both of those things.

This whole anti AI narrative is so manufactured.

My expectations for this game aren’t great

Setting the same price point as arc raiders is sensible (it would have gone down terribly priced higher) I still can’t see how they would have changed the game enough to persuade the masses for it to be a huge success though.

Activision will be under immense pressure to keep churning out a game every 12 months. Let’s be honest cod has lived off past glories for many years now. The gaming landscape is changing and people don’t have the money or want to buy the same thing every year. Hence the massive shift to AA and indie gaming.

I’d prefer her to be scared rather than girl boss considering she is a journalist not a soldier. Hopefully we aren’t running and hiding too much though because I want combat not creeping around and putting myself in lockers every 5 minutes. Difficult balance to get right

Good luck to anyone that is going to try and order the limited edition. I will definitely give it a go but 5am uk time is brutal!
I wonder how much these will be priced at on eBay next weekend

How large is the rock* legal team? I would imagine they have an iron clad case for sackings. Or certainly cleared by the legal team boxes the sackings. Let’s be honest here the UK government are useless! Nothing will come of this

Begin operation damage control. Notice how they still believe it’s a great game and it’s the customers fault for not understanding that.

The more Chinese games the better tbh. They hey crap review scores from western media but most of them are decent. They also don’t have any identity woke stuff. Makes you wonder why western devs are closing down so rapidly while Chinese ones are starting to thrive.

Dead space in the hands of fromsoft would be interesting.

The backlash against AI in gaming makes me laugh tbh. Maybe people should redirect their outrage to their government representatives instead of Twitter outrage. 50% of the people who post on here will probably lose their jobs to ai by 2030.

@WolfyTn yeah I’m the same tbh. I buy Nintendo when they release a Zelda or 3d Mario. Metroid prime could tempt me though.

@nomither6 I mean sometimes Nintendo does drop the ball but the switch 2 is selling better than initial expectations. The price is about right for 2025 unfortunately.

Nice Christmas present to receive. Surprised the switch 2 isn’t number 1 tbh considering ps5 is 5 years old now.

Netflix will 100% need to increase subscription fees very fast and very steep. Kinda like game pass are having to do after Microsoft spent billions on trying to buy the industry.

What’s the point of antitrust laws these days.

The reaction to AI in games reminds of the way people reacted when micro transactions first appeared in games. Fast forward a few years and micro transactions are in nearly every game but they aren’t micro anymore.

Futile waste of time comes to mind.

I’m amazed that they still support this game tbh.

I’d love to know the percentage of successful live service games. I imagine it’s in the single digits

@spoonard the time it will take to open new fabs to meet market demand will be 5 years. 4 new fans being built in america now and 3 planned for Europe (which were put on hold because of trumps demanded America first) expect high consumer electronics for the foreseeable future.

@nessisonett agi will be the human races greatest achievement. Also its most dangerous one.

The semiconductor industry is about to boom for the next 5-10 years. I work in the industry and the scale at which the industry will ramp up is insane.

We really need to stop explaining the use of ai. In a few years 70% of a games code will be made with ai and rightly so. The 10 year game dev cycle needs to die asap and ai will make that happen.

It’s laughable that people think the Saudis are any worse than America, Europe or the Uk.

Must be planning on using lots of AI. I guess this is the upside

Why do people care? You are fighting the inevitable and wasting time and energy worrying about automation. It’s coming and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.

Just make this turkey free to play asap.

Incredible numbers considering the state it launched in. Great game though so very well deserved
