Techbros see all cyberpunk as an utopia, Zuckerberg even renamed his entire company after the Metaverse in Snowcrash when that’s one of the obviously dystopian cyberpunk worlds.

(Good) cyberpunk was always a documentary done through a slightly distorted mirror lighten up under neon glow.

Their lack of a patent for controller vibration prevented Sony from having vibration on Sixaxis - notice that despite all the BS that it interfered with motion sensing, Dualshock 3 came out just a few months after Sony managed to settle the suite with Immersion.

Since there’s no penalty for making a patent and not using it, it’s probably cheaper for Sony to pre-emptively register everything that comes from brainstorming sessions.

Sony patents random stuff just in case all the time. It doesn’t mean it’s ever going into a an actual product.

Probably Starfield would be the Bethesda game to benefit more from it. At least they could make cities feel like cities.

This is the gaming version of XKCD 1172.

They have 200 solitary prison cells.

It’s not a coincidence it happened on the same day. After the first studio did their announcement the others kind of had to come forward to lay their claim.

As IBM said in 1979, computers aren’t accountable, and I would go further and say they should never make any meaningful decision. The algorithm used doesn’t really make a difference. The sooner people understand that they are responsible for what they do with computers (like any other tool) the better.

Court cases over patent infringement do, no matter how stupid parents over software and videogames are.

Is it just me, or the fabric in the the shirt look better in the old model? At least in that screenshot it looks more like something that was handmade Vs the remake model (look at the end of the sleeves for example)

Releasing a new full price sandbox game instead of keeping supporting the old one (even if it’s mostly in the form of DLCs) is not good for the gamers.

If they can bring back Christian Whitehead to help them, it sound like a good idea. If it’s the Sonic Superstars people, please don’t.

In the same way that any game with nazi zombies or even every single historical war game. I don’t seem them kicking out Call of Duty

Not necessarily, when you target one very specific setup you can use performance tricks you can’t use otherwise. When developing for PC you are forced to play by the rules because you can’t rely on a quirk of a particular combination of components because everyone has a different one.

Not a native speaker, but if I wanted to boil it down to a word I would use “made a trailer”. I think you are right about the algoritm confusing a movie trailer with a physical trailer.

If it reaches the threshold the European Comission is forced to formally answer to it, which requires them do a full review of the subject and this greatly increases the probability of something being done.

In the US it’s probably going to go like:

GOP appointed circuit judge says LMAO. Customers appeal to supreme court, but scheduling is going to be complicated because Clarence Thomas went on 6 month vacation on the yatch IntelInside.
