@TripleJump arches and spin radiuses is more game design territory, using variables and hardly ever put into the code itself but inserted in the editor that the code reference.
The point being if(example == false) and if(example != true) has the same effect and really does not effect the game experience one way or another.
Shaders and lighting is a whole different beast, but usually that's viewed as a seperate discipline as well.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Twilight Princess is the next remake for Zelda. Nintendo has been weirdly quiet about that game the last few years.
@somnambulance @Zaruboggan I have a nephew and niece who everytime they get a new rare card, go to the local store to check its value. It's really sad that's such big part of it now. My niece still apreciate the art on th ecard, though, so it's something.
@somnambulance I don't think homeschooling has much to do with it, unless you plan on isolating your kids completely from the outside world.
@Olmectron because level 5 has screamed "AI" at the top of their lungs maybe? The company has been jumping on every hit trend for the last ten years, vs a company that was made from people breaking out of the AAA machine.
E33 was also made before genAI was good at anything, but I digress.
@Deadringer80 The PS3 is older now than the SNES was when the PS3 released. Saying a console is modern because it has an HDMI is like saying a car is modern because it has a seatbelt. It has been the standard for quite some time.
@Moistnado The thing is, he does not have to make 4.5M, nor do you have to prove that Nintendo would have made that amount of money if not for him(which is impossible to prove). What you can prove, performed services that is valued at that price, and that he profited from it. If I sell you an illegal copy of a $60 game for $3, then I have still performed a service worth $60 at Nintendo's expense, even if I only profit $3. And distribution is very different from consuimng, especially when it you make money from it.
@Questionable_Duck Microsoft is legally obligated to put out CoD on Nintendo consoles for 10 years. Minecraft Dungeons 2 is out next week, and they announced Diablo IV this weekend. Even if some games are Xbox/PC exclusive, most aren't.
@Zeroo This is a story about a publisher who has published numerous games on Switch and Switch 2, like Oblivion remaster, Indiana Jones and Pentament. It's just as relevant as news about Ubisoft, EA, etc.
@AlanShore you don't sound insensitive at all. In fact, you sound overly sensitive, bordering fragile, if this offends you.
I don't have time to play darts or go take pictures of stickers around the city, I just want to play the battles and experience the main story. This is very welcome.
@larryisaman It would be so much better if they were treated as legends, a variety of stories loosely connected and changed over time through retellings.
@90sRetroGaming usually there are local marketing departments for big corpos like this. They will have their own marketing stunts and do things their own way. Sometimes those stunts would have done well in other parts of the world, sometimes not. But to avoid having big blunders locally in different territories (like NoA is probably extra careful today), this is often how it needs to be done.

Re: Cyberpunk's Edgerunners 2 Update Isn't In The Best State On Switch 2 Right Now
@dskatter Im guessing whats stopping them is dozens if not hundreds of hours on their save files. Unless they want to start from scratch, that is.

Re: EA Shuts Down Legendary RPG Developer BioWare
@HeadPirate 50 people is enough for pre production/early development. Then you would hire to ramp up production. Standard in a lot of the industry.

@Arjyl the game is designed around online coop. Couch coop would inheritly undermine the concept of the game.

@DemonKow the expansion is coming 2027. That's plenty of time to work on something like this.
Re: "No Offense To Zelda" - Activision Exec Says Call Of Duty: MW4 And GTA 6 Are The Two Biggest Games Of The Year
5-10 years ago he might have had a point, but coming from an iteration that wasn't even the biggest FPS, that is a bold statement.

A lot of people here turn their nose up at Ubi, without acknowledging what great work the Milano studio did.
Re: Opinion: I Think I'm Missing Something About Stellar Blade On Switch 2
I've always thought of it like a 7/10 game that done peoyhail because it signaled "the end of woke" or something.
