Oh, like the number one pick wasn't obvious lol. It's too bad arcades died out in the west. There have been some really cool 3D ones in recent years. I still think the Jurassic Park games are some of the most fun I've ever had in an arcade. Same with House of the Dead and Time Crisis.

viccrack4062d ago

yes jurassic park games were soo much cool . plus desert strike was epic too

Relientk774062d ago

The Jurassic Park Arcade Game was boss

randomass1714062d ago

Lost World was absolutely crazy. And the dodge mechanic in Jurassic Park 3 was pretty fun as well.

Chrono4062d ago

I spent way too many coins on Street Fighter back in the day.

randomass1714062d ago

Mortal Kombat was my arcade fighter jam way back when. That was certainly the day.

LOOK_AT_THIS_I4062d ago

I spent a boatload on the ninja turtles, tabletop PAC man , and wwf superstars. Mortal Kombat I didn't spend too much on as I was whipping that ass and getting free games to play, but it was another game I loved.

Most players 'know next to nothing about how games are made': New Blood devs sound off

It's now easier than ever to make "broad incorrect assumptions" about how games work.

how? how is it easier than ever?

"... to make broad incorrect assumptions" about how games work.

jambola23h ago

yes
when i said "how is it easier" i was referring to the thing that was called easier
congrats

People parroting AI responses without actually knowing about the subject to be able to tell if its accurate or within context

Constant rise of media/youtubers chasing negativity as it generates more views

Continued increase of independent “media” that rarely seems to care about fact checking or context (linked to point above)

More and more people using said youtubers/streamers/tik tokers as their news/opinion consumption and then just repeating everything (even more so when dealing with streamers that basically seem to have cults for a fanbase)

Making up fake news, information, files, etc and making them viral being easier than ever thanks to AI and social media explosion of provocative topics

I mean… it shouldn’t really need that much explaining why he is right in saying its easier than ever, all those same points right now apply to pretty much every topic out there, not just games

ravens528h ago

I'm just gonna say, the PS YouTubers that I watch don't do that. You want to know what YouTubers do, do that? One guess. You got it 😅

Armaggedon18h ago

Because people can just say random crap and get upvoted. It reinforces them to think what they say has validity.

Stop releasing broken games that need 6-12 months of patches/updates and while waiting for those patches/updates if gamers complain we are lecturer by game developers and community managers on how we don't understand how hard development is. First of all we are gamers we don't need to understand we are paying money to play a game and at the very least we expect a working product

Games cost 80 now and in few years will be 90 and within 10 years will be $100. So is it really asking for a lot to say please release games when they are in a stable playable state? Release now fix it later, release it now get some criticism but later when we will fix it gamers will praise us and call us great and our game sales will rise again. It's the same cycle. Just look at cyberpunk 2077 and how developers hid the actual console footage and reviews were using footage provided by CDPR and gamers were mad and now many of those same gamers praise CDPR for the job well done. This is why gaming is where it is today and developers know they can release unfinished games

thorstein1d 2h ago

Who do you think chooses the release date? The in the chair developer or their "I've never played a video game and never coded one" CEOs?

neutralgamer199219h ago

For as much as we blame the CEO's we shouldn't be so naive to always guce free pass to high ups in the studios. Concord developers are prime example of that, Sony didn't need to force them they were make dumb decisions as is

You do know when a game makes back it's development costs there are 6 to 7 figure bonuses /royalties

Stwert1d 1h ago

It would be awesome if every game made had no major issues and didn’t require any patches from day one. Unfortunately, with the complexity of [most] games these days, that’s an unrealistic expectation.
There’s not a dev out there who wouldn’t like more time to work on their baby. But, outside of self-published, they’re not the ones who are setting a release date. Eventually the bean counters, sitting in their luxurious offices, decide that enough time and money has been spent creating the product and its high time they started to see a return on their investment.

Arguing with these people that you need another 12 to 18 months to iron out some of the problems gets you precisely nowhere. They don't give a damn about the developers, or the games really, that care about one thing and one thing only. Profit!
Telling them that releasing a game which isn’t fully finished and will affect the profit margin by association of a poor product also gets you nowhere, they simply say ship it, then fix it.

There are exceptions to the rule of course, as there always is, but those are fewer and far between these days.

neutralgamer199219h ago

Sadly what you are saying is true too. Gaming has become too big to where now those who have zero interest want to invest in it

Ashunderfire8611h ago

I agree and that’s why accountability is key. Of course game development is a lot that requires a village to get it done, but all us gamers want is a finish product that works, so we can keep coming back for more via sequels. And when it comes to retail the customer is always right.

It’s bad when the game developers develop unnecessary things like too much microtransactions, from an already $80 plus game, when we just want the finish product, not too many paywall from one $80 - $100 game!

Most drivers don’t know how cars are made, but still expect the car to be good quality and reliable.

Armaggedon18h ago

The thing is that when you dont understand something, the judgement of quality becomes affected. People will see a giant open world game with infinite variables and say “why is this buggy?” The one who understands will say “it has to be buggy, thats the trade-off.”

franwex18h ago

Most gamers understand that. Bethesda essentially build their games that way. What we don’t understand is, you can buy the car now at full price and the wheels will arrive in a few months-like many games tend to be.

I’m using the car industry as an example, but they are just as bad sometimes. Such as paying for features that are already included in the car. Oh, you want sports mode? Pay more! It’s the same engine and transmission! It’s just a mode that is locked away.

MDTunkown18h ago

There no excuse for oblivion remaster to be so bugged

Armaggedon18h ago

@franwex

Maybe you do, but alot of them dont understand. I see the discourse around it constantly.

@MDTUNKOWN

Apply this to yourself next time you f up. Or better yet, feel free to go and develop a bethesda style game. Tell me how that works out.

MDTunkown2h ago

Armageddon, oblivion remaster is not a new game, its remaster of almost 20 year old game and the game has fps issues on a ps5 pro. Because of guys like you, devs think they can release unfinished products and now also increase the price.

It doesn't matter. I don't know how a good risotto is made, but I know when it tastes like sh$%.

Armaggedon18h ago

Dont underestimate how much more there is to things. Understanding is key.

anast6h ago

It is impossible to understand everything in today's modern world, but despite this we can still say a product is sh$% while not understanding the process. If we are not allowed to do this, we would be forced suck up any sh%& people give us and say it's good because, "we don't understand the process". This is the height of stupidity.

Cockney5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Why do we need to understand anything? I'm a consumer i dont care how its made or what it takes to make a game, i buy it if I think it looks good this just sounds like victimhood 101
If this games turns out to be shit do we give them a pass because reasons?
