@Zealv2 Totally agree with you. Im always paranoid about a game using AI, because thats the day were videogames would die for me. Cero artistry behind, cero creativity, and cero hard work effort. Why would I want to play something a machine did?

In fact, it was one of the things I was more paranoid of in Expedition 33. I read a guy (not trusted resource) that said they used it in some textures, and I was paranoid all the time.

Can u imagine exploring something created without a singular human purpose behind? Like, going out and exploring a big map that was just created in a instant, without logic or purpose behind.

Re: What Review Score Would You Give Mario Kart World?

Akeratsu

Right now, an 8. If they toggle a few things, that score could go up.

Things to change:

  • being able to turn off intermissions on world Cups
  • improving the character select screen
  • show all the hidden stats on character+kart/bike
  • FREE post release content (karts, courses, etc)
  • more relevant items, and buff some of the already existent ones

Overall and after I discovered I can play without intermissions on Vs mode, I really loving the open world idea they went for.

Re: Shuhei Yoshida On Higher Switch 2 Game Prices: "It Was Going To Happen Eventually"

Increasing costs of making a game its in itself, a fallacy. Not because it isnt true, but because its not a fair comparison to past times.

Yes, costs are higher nowadays, but the potential customers base is waaay bigger, meaning you sell way more games.

The real thing they should say is “we want way bigger profits, because our share holders want more money from you”.

If you dont think thats true, go and look at profit results on the last years on Nintendo:

Nintendo Annual Gross Profit
(Millions of US $)

2024 $6,585
2023 $6,552
2022 $8,420
2021 $9,122
2020 $5,904
2019 $4,511
2018 $3,632
2017 $1,750
2016 $1,834
2015 $1,953
2014 $1,632

And thats even having in mind we had a worldwide pandemic.

@HingryHuppo Thats not how countries’s economy work nowadays. We left the gold standard many years ago. Its gold a rare element? Yes, but this is like diamonds, a false sense of scarcity. Most diamond’s brand could flood the economy with tons of diamonds and make a crash, devaluating diamonds.

Besides, you cant compare a physical element to a digital one. Its like comparing Titanium to a song on spotify.

There are other factors besides scarcity, and Titanium is a perfect example. Its cheaper than gold, but more expensive to work on it.

In resumen, there is only one “copy” of myself. That would mean that people should pay me millions to hire me? No, there are other components to have in mind: resources, time invested, skill, originality, etc.
