Re: Site News: Where's Our Concord PS5, PC Review?

If there was a few PVE story missions as jobs I would have paid. But it doesn't have the hype of helldiver 2 and the player base and I don't want to buy a game dead on arrival.

If I could walk around the ship and added stuff that could also be enjoyable.

Re: Reaction: Sony's Billion Dollar Bungie Buyout Is Looking More and More Like a Blunder

It seems the only thing it really got was the name. When you considered what else was up for sale, Square Enix flogging it's western studios around that time for less money, you got to wonder if Sony would have gotten a better return elsewhere.

Also thinking Bungie wasn't going to be integrated into Sony PlayStation Studios eventually was delusional on the part of the management.

Re: Sony and Apollo Reportedly Make $26 Billion All-Cash Paramount Bid

@Fyz306903 They might actually shut that loss making division down. Sony has a nice business making shows for other streaming network, netflix and apple and HBO who front the money and thr risk and Sony just takes profit's from charging for producing the content.
That would be a cheaper strategy than trying to turnaround paramount+ which has loss billions.

Re: Ubisoft's NEO NPC Prototype Offers a Glimpse at a Generative AI Future for Games

@Bamila That was essentially just a bit of programming that took text, run it through ChatGPT and then show it response to the player.

Those characters could say anything through, even things unrelated to the game or to the character themselves. a accountant could talk about massages or how it was like being a premier league footballer.

Building a system that allows you talk to a character but it response is inline with that character views and inline with the world that character live, you don't want medieval peasants talking about PS5s or aliens in the distant future discussing how terrible of a soap opera Eastenders is.

What we actually want is to be able to tell a drug dealer that drugs are great, an elicit a response of the drug dealer agreeing with you.

Tell a doctor that drugs are great and you will get a response of the doctor disagreeing with you, may be even a story of how drug have has harmed of their patients. Tell the police that you have drugs on you, you want them to arrest you or least die trying.

Where the matrix demo will likely get ChatGPT to produce the same answer for all characters, drugs are bad, here a number to help you give up drugs.

Re: Callisto Protocol Dev Reveals Top-Down Spin-Off Project Birdseye

Probably should have done this as their first game, not spent a 100 million plus of investor money on developing the flop the Callisto Protocol. Does anyone actually wants a sequel to that game?

Anyway this look like their last throw of the dice to keep the studio alive. Hope it goes well for them and they can make some money for the studio an its poor investors.

Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Is Up to Three Times Faster Than PS5 as Specs Surface

@Player_1_Ready PS6 wasn't wasn't supposed to come out until presumably November 2028.

I honestly don't expect Xbox to be much more powerful then the pro. I think they realise they screwed up on having to separate system with different capabilities and want to correct that by releasing what is essentially pro version of Xbox and get rid of S and X.
