The Xbox Series X is upon us. But what do game developers think of this next-gen beast? We spoke to several to find out their thoughts.
Capcom has clarified its current stance on generative AI in its videogames. The major Japanese publisher and developer behind popular series like Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and Monster Hunter has revealed that while it doesn't use gen-AI assets in their games, it is exploring ways to use generative AI to streamline the game development process.
Savvy Games Group, a subsidiary of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, has agreed to acquire Moonton Games for $6 billion.
The Danish company has concluded its publishing deal with embattled MindsEye developer Build A Rocket Boy.
So the most exciting and game changing thing is the SSD? Not a couple of TFlops?
Got it
Reading The Coalition's take was cool
"With the Xbox Series X, out of the gate, we reduced our load-times by more than 4x without any code changes. With the new DirectStorage APIs and new hardware decompression, we can further improve I/O performance and reduce CPU overhead, both of which are essential to achieve fast loading. As we look to the future, the Xbox Series X's Sampler Feedback for Streaming (SFS) is a game-changer for how we think about world streaming and visual level of detail. We will be exploring how we can use it in future titles to both increase the texture detail in our game beyond what we can fit into memory, as well as reduce load times further by increasing on-demand loading to just before we need it, instead of pre-loading everything up-front as we would use a more traditional 'level loading' approach."
This is on top of having the more powerful hardware to work with. SX is going to be a beast!
This is Microsoft’s obligatory “us too!! us too!!” article. I wonder how much it cost them.
