Gamereactor: "We spoke to Supermassive's Pete Samuels about Sony's new controller and what it might mean for the future."
"It was so offensive to me"
Cliff Bleszinski shares thoughts on Gears of War’s PlayStation debut, E-Day, and Microsoft’s Game Pass strategy.
The narrative deduction title is available on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the App Store for just $7.
Developer says they've seen tech, will look at it, likes new hardware because it allows them to do more. Essentially what everyone is saying. Nothing new or even close to notable here.
It would be interesting to see SM continue the attempt to add voice recognition in their games with or without Dualsense. Dualsense would be easy pick up and play though on PS5.
Similar to Inpatient VR dialog choices while trying to add something like PS2's Lifeline game. It was interesting but limited at the time. If added to a horror game where you and a virtual character are trying to survive and you tell them to run-hide-shoot-close the door,etc. It would bring the player interaction deeper into a game. Closer to interacting with NPCs.
We know it can work when done right as I never had a problem with voice commands in Star Trek Bridge Crew using IBM Watson. Even though they removed it later because of cost or gamer use. It worked. You could even say what was not expected. Instead of saying "Engage" to go to warp like Captain Picard. You could say "Punch it!" Like Captain Pike said in ST 2009. But the game never told you what to say. But if you knew Trek, you knew what to say or try.
There's potential though. More powerful systems. Built in mic and speaker. And even VR support on console and PC. Envelopes need to be pushed forward. Not just in graphics. We already see sound and touch getting improvements. Voice should too since PS5 seems to be supporting it with Dualsense.
They should probably stay away from VR games though they have only launched one good VR game and it was until dawn based and very simple. Outside of this they made the terrible Bravo team and mediocre the inpatient.
They still don't really get the medium
Good deal, was afraid they were going to be bought by sony. I'm leaning towards series X because microsoft pays me to browse with bing and i use them points on game pass. I love playing Supermassive's games.
Developer 1, "do you think it looks like a girl’s torso in a tank top with boobs sticking out?" Developer 2, "yes good point, good conversation."
