The devs also have to go through more hoops to add new features. It has to be carefully designed so that it doesn't break the gameplay balance and it also needs to meet higher standards of quality so that new assets/features work seamlessly with the rest of the content. And as Trickstet said it also has to be tested a lot more.
Modders on the other hand usually don't care about all that. If people complain about gameplay balance? Meh just don't install the mod. ...
In his position he has to play nice or it could very well blow up in his face. It's not like you or me in the comment section of N4G. He can't say what he means. He can't tell PS owners to **** off or rub it in their faces. If he did then he runs the risk of angering potential consumers. If he stays nice but says "I'm not sorry" then you'll see headlines "Pete Hines not sorry that Starfield is not on Playstation" and essentially the same thing will happ...
But it's not an Xbox exclusive since it's also on PC. Either I don't understand the meaning of exclusivity anymore or console gamers live in some sort of weird wonderland where things have different meanings.
I also don't see what's good about it being only on Xbox and PC. I don't personally mind since I'll be playing on PC but I mean who gives a **** if people on PS5 get to play it or not? Why should anyone rejoice? I just don't get it.
Online requirements for single player games definitely need to gtfo. Live service I still think could be done well but I haven't seen anyone pull it off yet.
Of course they knew. I'm a dev myself and I can tell you from experience that suits don't give a crap when a dev tells them software isn't ready and/or is broken. Worst thing is when there is backlash they'll play the ignorance card and try to blame it on the devs.

Spoiler alert : Texures actually *are* litterally 2D
Agreed. Apparently everyone here is an investor.
I'm not sure what you're getting so worked up about. It only states that the prototype works on a PS3. Which is an interesting fact I think.
Yeah it's just another buzzword for gamers who don't know shit about hardware OR software. Just like the bits in the 1990s or ram last gen.
Game engines are pretty agnostic about what storage tech they're running on. That's the OS' job. Sure games can now be designed with faster loading in mind but that's all SSDs bring to the table for consoles. It's not like UE5 is doing anything special with it like
If (ssd) goFaster();
I don't see the point in going out of your way to not support HDDs. I think the engine team has more useful things to do with their time.
My guess is the first three Uncharted games were made using older engines which are not easily ported to other platforms. But IIRC there was an Uncharted 1-3 for PS4? Technically it should be relatively easy to port it from there.
But there you have it. It's not that it makes sense or not from a gamer standpoint but that it might cost a lot more to port the first three than just Uncharted 4.
Maybe they will consider making the extra investment if Unch...
How was MGSV well-received? It was review bombed to hell and most fans say it's the worst of the series. If anything, it would have done a lot better if it had been an original IP with no ties to MGS and Kojima.
That kind of shit talk shouldn't fly regardless of people's genders.
People can grow up and change though so I agree with BlackIceJoe on that one. I'm not saying it can apply to the current situation but I see it as a problem with this kind of backlash. Make one mistake and your career is over forever.
Not to mention someone could easily take something you said years ago out of context and make you sound sexist or racist and there goes your future. And spoiler alert : the vast majority of people only read headlines so good luck making yo...
I don't know the guy so I can only make assumptions based on what I gathered from the information provided. The so-called sexist comments were not sexist as they were directed to individuals who happened to be women. The video doesn't provide any context as to what triggered him to spout those insults. If he treats men the same way then he's not sexist. He's just an asshole.
I definitely wouldn't call it humor though. His insults are cringe af. From wha...
Buying out other companies isn't and shouldn't be the solution to everything.
Hell the company I worked for was bought out by a bigger one and in my experience it always sucks. The bigger company slowly sucks out everything that made the purchased company unique until it's cold, generic and bland like the bigger one.
IMO buyouts shouldn't be a thing.
@phoenixwing have you ever played any Final Fantasy game ever? It's never not been that. Even FF1 had a little bit of tech in it. FFXVI is actually the first time it's going full medieval.
They confirmed you'll still be able to download games you purchased. The only thing that's leaving is the store.
Unfortunately I seem to be the only one on Earth unable to enjoy Larian's games. I might check out Solasta though.
I don't know. Sure it looks 100x better than the mobile/steam ports but FF1, 2 and 4 on PSP looked a lot better than that. IV even had the after years and the interlude (the interlude is okay but nothing mindblowing. Still though)
So yeah I feel like we're downgrading in the graphics department. I sort of wished they would at least have redrawn all games to fit VI's style.
I'm looking forward to FFIII though. Finally a 2D re-release.
