@popuniversee Model looks good, but you need to add bloom, otherwise you lose the eerie/otherworldly feeling

Hello everyone! The PoP community project is in full progress, and we would like to share the new design of the Dagger of Time that we will be using in our mod, including a comparison with the original from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time! 🗡️ To clarify, as we have received many questions: This project is not a remake. We are not developing a new game from scratch. We are creating a large-scale mod that will be available for free to all PC players. To use the mod, you will need to own the original Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Our goal is to create an experience that feels like a remake. At the same time, we want to clearly state that we respect Ubisoft’s copyrights and do not intend to infringe on them in any way. This project is being developed by very talented people who are dedicating their time to deliver something special for the fans. ✨ We will share gameplay with you as soon as it is ready! Thank you very much for your support for the project. - The Development Team #ThePoPProject #PrinceofPersia

@Senninsage Microsoft is a trillion dollar corp but they still closed down Arkane, The Initiative, Tango, etc and sold ToysForBob 🤷‍♂️

Have you been paying attention to Playstation and Marathon and the killing of Naughty Dog's factions 2, and the studios like Bluepoint sony shuttered, all the games that haven't happened or studios ended? Meanwhile look at Game Pass games dropping this year. Game Pass is fine.🤣

@Colteastwood Funny how, out of all of these, Nintendo has the most profit And to make matters worse, Xbox is the only platform that owns +3 publishers, nearly 40 studios, and puts their multimillion dollar games dayone in a subscription worth a fraction of a full game 🤷‍♂️

Meanwhile the Video Games Industry:

@Ahmed_Qaraxy @InfamousLiberal @oliver_drk You really think that, out of 5B revenue, 4.250B is pure profit? 🤣

@_LightNemesis_ @InfamousLiberal @oliver_drk Gross margin is 70-85% for gamepass

Five years ago Shawn Layden was attacked and criticized when he argued Xbox Game Pass (back then for $10/month) was not sustainable. Fast forward and Microsoft leadership is now actively looking for solutions to fix the subscription service.

@stormbre4k3r @evertroll_ofc @MATADOR_117 @MagoSpartan Só uns 45s por postagem O que paga é pq é engraçado deixar a galera sem argumento, fica nítido o uso de antolhos

@_LightNemesis_ @evertroll_ofc @MATADOR_117 @MagoSpartan Tu ta perdendo tempo discutindo com um cara que vive de flame e que pra ele só xbox presta.

Quer um atestado de burrice? Chame The Last of Us de filminho. A jogabilidade desse jogo é MUITO BOA. É satisfatória e dinâmica pra cacete, incrível.

@InfamousLiberal @oliver_drk Revenue ≠ Profit PS+ generates around 4.5B, only 500M less than GP, but they don't have the burden of putting their AAA games day one on the service and lose a significant amount of money

@oliver_drk No Xbox official has said XGP is not sustainable it literally makes more revenue than PS+ with less subscribers

@NerdPropellant @oliver_drk If we assume your hypothetical scenario is true, they failed that projection too Can you show any projection where they were right?

@oliver_drk It was a projection of the Xbox hw team as they were tryna make a case to Xbox LT about how their role would drive GP attach. As Phil explained at the FTC trial. I've explained this several times to you. You don't care for details bc they don't fit your head canon.

Chris Dring, who publicly questioned the business model of Game Pass when the price was just $10 instead of $30, was actually vindicated. Microsoft initially expected more than 60 million paying subscribers by now. The math isn't mathing.

@Senninsage @Puertorock77_ You think including WoW and FF14 subs would tip any scales?

@Puertorock77_ There's a massive data point missing for PC. Subscriptions. There are quite a few of them, including Game Pass. In-Game subscriptions seems to exclude quite a bit. EA Play exists, Ubisoft's subscription also. I guess we could say it's a smaller business on PC. Maybe that's why.

2025 Console & PC Business model breakdown. Console generated more revenue (+2B) For consoles, premium titles made up 50% of the console revenue. For PC, micro transactions made up 48% of the PC revenue.

@VTRaven @James_Red1 @Dreamboum I mean, the gambit system is part of the game, thus tweaking it IS interacting with the game, not just issuing your character to attack And like I've said, even in optimal gambit ordering you'll still need to issue manual commands in some situations

Yeah some of the end game hunts, or like the lvl 99 chocobo you arent going to clear with the same gambit you beat the game with. Youll need to make changes for sure. But youre reducing player interaction to just the gambit system. Its just another step removed from gameplay which IMO is a net negative. You shouldnt build a game that plays itself.

Stopped listening to FF fans for 20 years straight when they tried to convince me this game was bad

@VTRaven @James_Red1 @Dreamboum Maybe at surface level only to beat the story When going for the hunts you'll still need to keep tweaking your gambits here and there otherwise you're cooked

Yeah i know. I just disagree with the design choice to allow that. Dont get me wrong its alot of fun once you piece together the puzzle to make all the gambits hit just right. Its just *muah* chefs kiss. But then you arent even playing the game anymore and i just believe its bad design choice to create a system that encourages the player to stop engaging with the game mechanics nearly entirely.

@VTRaven @James_Red1 @Dreamboum It only turns into an "auto-battler" if you config it well enough, which is the point If you managed to beat Yiazmat and Omega only by gambits, without ever directly issuing commands, it means you mastered the game

@James_Red1 @Dreamboum It was well thought out for sure and was a great technical marvel. That said i just disagree with the design choice to allow the gambit system the strength to turn FF into an auto-battler.

@MATADOR_117 @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan Se fosse assim qualquer outro jogo não teria stealth, pq só personagens in-game profissionais podem fazer stealth 🤡 Se vc consegue passar despercebido ou não vai da habilidade do jogador, vc tá (novamente) arrumando justificativa pra desculpa merda que deu 🥱

@_LightNemesis_ @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan Mas aí você quer comparar o Big Boss com um esquadrão de novatos kk

@MATADOR_117 @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan Se esconder ≠ ficar parado, nunca jogou Metal Gear? Tá ficando feio já 🥱

@_LightNemesis_ @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan E isso levou a uma perseguição do esquadrão aos Snatchers, já que o Marcus tinha sido capturado e eles não tinham tempo a perder se escondendo

@MATADOR_117 @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan Mente colméia não é onisciência 🤡 Já que vc tá usando ChatGPT, pergunta a ele aí o que acontece quando mata todos os inimigos de uma área Pena que não justifica a desculpa de gameplay limitada do Gears 🥱

@_LightNemesis_ @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan O que você disse não tem diferença alguma entre encontro com humanos em diversos outros jogos. Por isso o Swarm é diferente e não tem como ter stealth contra eles no Gears 4 a partir do momento em que você não sabe que seu inimigo é uma colméia

@MATADOR_117 @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan Não, tô tratando como mente colméia. Se não sobrar nenhum inimigo numa determinada área pra ter localizar, então vc sumiu do radar deles novamente Mas de novo, desculpa esfarrapada pra justificar déficit de gameplay 🤷‍♂️

@_LightNemesis_ @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan Você está tratando o Swarm como se fossem humanos comuns, não é assim que funciona

@MATADOR_117 @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan Se os inimigos de uma área te localizem, e vc mata todos, automaticamente o resto dos inimigos pra frente precisam te localizar denovo Se for pra justificar déficit de gameplay com desculpa esfarrapada, melhor esperar e hypar pro Gears 6 trazer coisa nova

@_LightNemesis_ @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan Mas aí não faz sentido, porque o jogo inteiro teria que ser stealth, e até os personagens resgatarem o Marcus eles não tinham essa informação, então até acontecer isso praticamente vc está no final do jogo e mata a rainha kk

@MATADOR_117 @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan x.com/i/status/20448…

@_LightNemesis_ @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan x.com/i/status/20448…

@MATADOR_117 @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan Ou seja, mais um motivo pra ter stealth (se um inimigo te ver, falhou) É com isso?

@_LightNemesis_ @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan 2 - os Swarm em Gears 4 tinha uma consciência coletiva, ou seja, se um inimigo te vê todos outros vão te ver automaticamente. Em Gears 5 eles perderam essa consciência porque no início faltava-lhes uma rainha física e ativa.

@MATADOR_117 @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan Vc acabou de dar um motivo a mais pra ter stealth (ser caçado) Fora que a Swarm não tem rastreador 🤷‍♂️

@_LightNemesis_ @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan 1- Grande parte do Gears 4 os personagens estão sendo rastreados pela CGO, tanto que a casa do Marcus fênix é destruída de surpresa, então nem tinha como se esconder.

@MATADOR_117 @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan Agora explica pq não tem stealth no Gears 4, que não tem guerra

@_LightNemesis_ @evertroll_ofc @MagoSpartan Sobre o stealth eu já expliquei o porque não faz sentido colocar isso na trilogia original no link abaixo. E na imagem temos um resumo de tudo o que podemos fazer no modo horda x.com/i/status/20448…
