Don’t buy this. They did a full demonstration and reveal the way it was because they thought it looked great. If it looked bad, they would’ve just waited to have the devs show off how good it could look. GenAI isn’t here to produce art. It’s tricking you into thinking it is.

Hard disagree. This is everything wrong with the games industry. You need passion for games as more than a product. This is why AAA is collapsing. You don’t have to be actively playing games, I go through ebbs and flows myself. But you should be a gamer and be immersed in the culture and consumerism of gaming. Otherwise why are you even here? Go work at a bank. What the industry should be doing is giving more autonomy to the actual creatives who have passion for the medium. Let games be art.

here's an actual real time realistic 3D ocean simulation I wrote a few years ago without AI just by reading some papers. maybe someday Gemini can catch up to 30 year old rendering tech

Arc raiders is fucking weird man. Two players just let me shoot them in the face with an Anvil for a quest when I asked nicely. Then they told me where I could find lemons and we parted ways on good terms.

First time trying Arc Raiders. 30seconds in seeing this my brain goes: "It's not a Beretta, it's a BURLETTA!" fuck u, go home, you're done.

I don’t play 2xko but i do agree that top players get wayyyyyyy too much privilege in that game. Pros should never test games and definitely should never play new characters and a patch before they are released that is just insane too me

A nazi in spandex tighties made an american in jorts submit last night on live television. If that's not analogous to the state of our country then I don't know what is.

@ThunderBrush @TheCartelDel We're still stuck in this mindset of legitimizing games by constantly trying to emulate the movie industry by lionizing direction and storytelling/acting over good design and compelling gameplay. Doesn't help that they laud like 5 games across 15 categories.

I would agree it’s a net positive. Glad there are awards for hardworking devs and some platform to raise awareness on the industry at large I do worry a lot of the “core production teams” are completely absent and/or looked over, it’s a nigh impossible task to include everyone equally but perhaps a lil more effort could be made. It’s nice game directors and famous voice actors get to dress up and have a good time but what about other departments (QA for example) having just a smidge more recognition. We all want the industry to recognize the people that build it but these awards shows ultimately by nature sort of devolve into product/company showcases and the people outside of “marketable headliners” get pushed to the sidelines again and we are right back to square one on that particular issue. The D.I.C.E awards attempts to tackle this issue and does a very admirable job it just doesn’t have the same level of exposure as the TGA’s do because the marketing money behind game trailer reveals propels its status and viewership much higher, not blaming anyone it just is what it is.

I genuinely believe Geoff Keighley is a greater good for games as a whole but because he's driven TGA to such heights, it's become fashionable to dislike his event. But Game Awards is really fucking awesome if you think about it.

@ThunderBrush I need these actors to straight up JUICE for like 6months before filming. If Chris Evans could do it for captain america, then surely this guy for Vega. I need brick shithouses. I think the only one I was really convinced on was the Zangief actor.

I can’t stop laughing at this street fighter movie promo image for Vega, it’s straight out of a porn parody hahahaha

Total War Warhammer 40k is one of those obvious lay-ups that people talked about for years and yet we were all gleefully surprised by its announcement today.

@TitanClumzy Big Whale.

Aha.... surely.... we know this answer?

You're telling me we didn't get DLC to play as Acheran and Chairon fighting GSC in a hive city as their glorious send off? That I would've gladly paid for? @SaberGames @Focus_entmt ?

I eagerly await the 3 hour documentary about how the CS:GO knife economy got utterly demolished overnight. I need hard numbers on how much money has evaporated.

While I'm happy for them, there's something really funny about people losing their minds over Arcsys dropping their 50th Goku

When that one track in Megabonk hits(you should play it, it's a good one if you like Risk of Rain and Vampire Survivors)

the extra 5 inch reach that Crawford had on Canelo was brutal. He couldn't get combinations in and when he got a single powershot, he had a whole fucking mile of getting beat to shit on the way back to neutral. Insane

Empathy is hard. There's layers of feelings, injustices and general awfulness in life that get in the way of that. But you need to try. What happened is a product of anger, despair and frustration only to create more of those emotions. Sucks. Don't get desensitized, stay human.
