Meanwhile I'm playing melee over here using an emulator online against my friends with so little latency it feels like I'm playing offline random hiccups in connection aside.
They even messed up the smash ultimate GameCube controllers with the majority of them having bad neutral stick positions.
Nintendo is no longer the company known for having tight and responsive controls with very little latency.
All these characters don't mean jack when the game doe...

From a developer's standpoint the architecture you're targeting doesn't really matter in terms of code. There are very few situations where inline asm is used for performance reasons. Other than that the compiler takes care of most of the work. You're still writing C++ in the end and using Sony's libs.

What does matter though is the design of the system. Cell is a very complex CPU that requires you to program differently because of all the SPUs in order ...

Waiting on the patch notes that contains:

* Reduced input lag so it doesn't feel like you're playing someone from another continent when playing offline.
~100ms is a joke.

Most of that filesize is high quality video and audio.
The game isn't 100GB because it needs to be but because they don't have to use compression and downsampling.
Once you start doing that the size you end up with will surprise you.
I mean just look at all these old warez PC rips. Games would often be only 100MB instead of 700 just by taking out some video and using some compression wizardry.

Dragon Age: Dread Wolf Rises Will Be review bombed and memed to hell, says me.

He did himself a favor the game is trash to begin with.

I'm just going to assume you're unaware, but tencent wasn't involved with PoE until fairly recently.
PoE has way more viewers than D3 on twitch and it's been like this for years now when they were still independant.

It seems he got his account back. 99.99% sure this wouldn't have happened if this story wasn't reported. Sad that you have to complain on social media to get any kind of support at all these days.

This is gold.
I wonder how it must feel for a "AAA" developer to get their ass kicked by a small indie studio.
Tempted to get a similar domain.

That's how I felt when Undertrash beat Super Smash Bros. Melee on GameFAQs best game poll.

As long as people are doing stuff better than them they will continue to buy studios, let them die and then perform necrophilia. Ms can only solve problems the American way (throwing lots of money at it)

The WiiU at least had more than 8 games and Nintendo supported the console until its death.
It's a console that nobody really wanted, but not unbearably bad and eye strain inducing like the virtual boy.

When I told everyone that it was too soon for consumer raytracing people called me a negative Nancy. I expect this to be viable in a year of two.

You're on n4g. Of course everyone here has a low latency monitor. Also 11ms isn't great at all. I wouldn't be able to play smash bros melee with those amounts of lag. What you're seeing here is the result of either post processing or a way too low polling rate. Good responsive controls are the core of any solid action game. Bringing a wavebird to a smash tourney is a surefire way to raise some eyebrows.
It's funny how we get more and more delay over the years. Ma...

You forgot making money of Asian pachinko addicts by finding exploits :p

Well said. Not sure why you're getting downvotes here. Some of the most amazing games have been made under ridiculous shifts. Sure, it's rough but I'll man up and work extra hours if I know I'm part of something legendary and get paid handsomely.

Does this hold any ground in court tho? Violating the ToS has nothing to do with law. Worst case scenario this guy will have to pay up for all the cheats he illegally sold without paying tax but that's a different matter altogether.

Except you can only jailbreak it if your console hasn't been updated in like a year. Jailbreakable PS4s are worth quite a bit now.

The last time I remember Microsoft acquiring a studio they started making mediocre games and a pathetic excuse of a game that was focused on cars rather than the 3D platforming the originals were all about. And sea of thieves.
I dont want Microsoft near any of the studios that make games I enjoy.

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. has sold off its entire stake in video game publisher Square Enix.

The company unloaded 9.52 million shares of the Final Fantasy maker, in a deal totaling ¥15.3 billion—or $150 million.

2014.

This is why you're getting FF games now.
