Phil Spencer said that XB1&PS4 are still in the same performance ballpark of Neo&Scorpio, so developers will naturally target them with their games.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
We explore the Sega classics that are ripe for revival! From Panzer Dragoon Saga to Virtua Fighter, discover why these legendary games deserve a comeback on next-gen consoles. Dive into a nostalgic journey and see which Sega titles are set to captivate a new generation of gamers in 2024.
Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I was hesitant to put these two on. I've personally played more PSO than the RPG version. And shame on me, I don't remember much about Shining Force to talk about it properly.
That said, so many Sega licences deserve their place in this list.
A new Phantasy Star in the numbered series would be amazing. Shining Force too. But I’d settle on some collections as that’s probably the best we will get
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
Exactly these companies were raising money for good causes and gamers were donation and come to find out they are keeping a good chunk of be pie
Yeah tip your developer, 5% proceeds go to developer, 95% to the publisher or whoever. Isn't tipping for staff not making minimum wage? How about they just pay their developers properly and like you know, give them fair bonuses? Too much to ask from Blizzard these days, Kotick saw to that and is now laughing all the way to the bank.
It's the t**ts at the top looking at ways to cut devs wages and get the players to tip them like waiting staff, and I'll guarantee a percentage is skimmed and kept by Activision Blizzard. This is 100% for shareholder and CEO playouts.
I have to agree with this. On the surface tipping devs sounds like a great idea, but in the end it leads to pay cuts and subsidization of pay. Tips then become an expectation or the devs “can’t make a living.” Lastly, especially in the US, tip culture has gotten out of control, and it serves as an excuse not to properly pay employees. Sounds good but doesn’t end well.
@ Popsicle
I think your right on the nose with how much tipping has become rampant. Instead of it being a relationship directly between the customer and the developer or employee, it now has a middle man ingrained in the system. DoorDash is one example. It ends up becoming a metric where the company can measure 'just how much more money you are willing to part with' before raising the price on the main product.
Uh so they’re trying triple dip or more we buy the game that they’re already withholding/cutting content for dlc we was told that season pass would help the developers thrive we felt for it.
Now on top of all that plus their sales bonus they want tips enough is enough whatever happens to you create/built a good game get a bonus for sales milestones you care about your game and community we reward you with more sales not for doing 3/4 of a game then save the other 1/4 for dlc and passes after
Very well said. If it was possible to send the money to either the developer or some organization for the betterment of gaming, sure. But we all know that will not be the case.
No, it would go to those on the top. They will still fire developers, have a bunch of microtransactions, raise prices of games and so on.
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
That kind of practice is only normal in the states, as far as I know anyway, what a backwards system
Ireland is literally the first stop across the pond and we don't have a tipping culture. The only establishments here that would expect a tip are the tourist haunts that Americans visit. Other than that, you might tip in a restaurant as a sign of gratitude for great service and waiting staff would be paid a full wage anyway.
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
I figured they would be.
So these old-ass consoles will be limiting us for years to come. How sad...
The problem is that even with these new specs, 4k wont run very well, it will be the same mixed performance that 1080p today on the PS4 and Xbox One, which barely run 1080p in most games at a good frame rate.
I own a 980 Ti, it runs 1440p very well, but there are a few games that get a little clunky at that Resolution, but it sucks at 4K, unless you like 30fps or less, or worse yet, turning down graphics settings so it looks like Quake 2, which I hate.
The new consoles will not match the graphics performance of a 980 Ti, which is fine, but it gives us a prelude of what we can expect at 4K.
There is WAY too much fuss put on resolution, and not enough put on overall graphics quality (texture resolution, shaders, effects, etc, etc). Look at the PS4 version of Fallout 4, they took the fog out to increase performance and a lot of people were pissed, because it affects the look of the game.
I would prefer another 4 years of GREAT 1080p performance with incredible graphics, than cutting down graphics fidelity, so we can have 4K.
So much is going to be sacrificed so the Marketing Departments can have the 4K Check Box filled.
It is sad.
My view is that 4K gaming is probably 2 generations away, which probably puts it at 2018 or 2019 with these new "constant upgrade cycles" that Sony and Microsoft are now following.
We will see.
Not really interested in these newer consoles. I think I'll just go with the OG models.
I know there's people out their just itching to raid the comments of side by side comparisons and DF analysis'
Holiday 2017 is going to be a nerd rage filled time. I think I may just not comment on here at that time lol.
