This is what Søren Lundgaard, CEO & Co-founder Ghost Ship Games, the folks working on Deep Rock Galactic, told GamingBolt in an exclusive interview.
Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.
A handful of small redesigns and a pair of back buttons make Nintendo’s Pro Controller for Switch 2 a worthy upgrade.
I love this controller. Feels so nice in the hand. Plus the battery lasts for days, it's crazy.
$100 ?????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ???????????????
Yea the pricing for Nintendo peripherals is a bigger joke than the game prices. What the hell were they thinking!
i mean for a piece of slightly redesigned plastic with the same take of the last few years this has written GREED all over it ! Shame on Nintendo.
It's $85. The standard Dualsense is $75. The Dualsense Edge (Playstation Pro controller) is $200. The Xbox Elite (Xbox Pro controller) is also $200. How exactly is $85 so drastically insane compared to those prices?
$85 USD
or $75 at CostCo (same standard price as a DualSense)
Even at $85, you're getting 3-4x the battery life of a DualSense, and it is (by a HUGE margin) the cheapest first-party console controller with Back Paddles.
The thing is, over the past decade, third-party controllers have really stepped up. You can often get better quality, more durability, and stronger performance for half the price of first-party options. Meanwhile, controllers from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have become increasingly mediocre, expensive, fragile, and not particularly impressive across the board. What makes this especially noticeable with Nintendo is that they’re surprisingly open to third-party hardware. That openness ends up highlighting just how much better the alternatives are.
Pretty much most things by half a dozen of chinese manufactures. Like, 8bitdo, Gamesir, Machenike, Gulikit, Flydigi, Manba, EasySMX, etc.
The exception would be really low tier stuff by those companies... those wouldn't be better, they would be about the same quality. But more durable.
Having used Dual Sense, Pro Controller 1, and 8BitDo Ultimate extensively, I am pretty much in love with Pro Controller 2. The easy reassignment on the grip buttons is such a big plus, but the soft edge joysticks are the best feeling sticks of any controller I’ve ever used. It’s really an awesome controller. The HD Rumble 2 also finally has some thud and the headphone jack is great with a pair of good phones. It’s worth the slight price increase IMO.
The pro controller 2 for me has the best weight and size it fits the hand perfect like the duelshock 4 did imo
I actually dislike the duelsense controller because of its size but the features are amazing on it.
Still as for the pro 2 no analog triggers is surprisingly something I dont actually miss
I have the original pro controller and TBH, I don't use it as much. I'm mostly using the Switch in handheld mode with the Hori Split Pad Compact Controller. I also never use the back buttons to program anything so I will not be buying this one here, so that will be $85.00 in my pocket 😂
Techland wants to switch to a shorter development cycle of three to four year at the most for its games, starting with Dying Light: The Beast.
Very good dev length for a AAA/AA game I'd say. Companies need to set an aim for this range. 1-2 is too little, I believe 3-4 is perfect. Any more is too much. Games don't need to be these gigantic games full of a crazy amount of content. Just make a good game.
He’s absolutely correct. I think a lot of people fail to forget that the Xbox One X and even the
Pro are hitting far above their paygrade. The Xbox One X would cost you $1000 in PC hardware, especially with the boom in bitcoin. Memory and GPU prices are through the roof. I know, I just built a ridiculously high end machine for my entertainment business and I was lucky to get the prices I did before they shot up to crazy amounts after the holidays.
Regardless, even a 1080ti can have issues hitting and maintaining 4K with decent frame rates. A lot of times you have to put the effects level down to medium to high, if you want to hit 4K @ 30 or 60 frames per second. The good thing about the X is the fact that it is custom and there is a lot of tech behind its power. Using its own transformers per CPU core to meet that particular processors power needs. Not to mention, a GPU that is basically a mix between the 1060 and the 1070ti, which alone right now in PC bucks would cost you $300-$500 or more. The 12 GBs of DDR5 is nuts. Most video cards, including my 1080, have 8 GB. The 1080ti, 11GBs. Which allows the X to not only display 4K, but also high-resolution textures and HDR on top of it. That’s pretty amazing tech for a box the size of a DVR.
Even games that run at 1600p and 1800p look incredible on the system. I have been playing a lot of games lately on the X, both enhanced and back compat titles... and they all look great. That’s not to say the Pro is a slouch either. Ive played a ton of games on it and, even those at 1440p show great increases in fidelity over the base systems. And, the checkerboard solution was a great way to introduce a mid gen system at new gen pricing. I cant wait to see what they accomplish with the PS5 and Xbox 2. The great thing in all of this... is that us gamers are the soul benefactors of healthy competition in the industry. Something many forget, when they root for one systems success over another.
Enjoy what you have and revel in the fact that the best is always yet to come.
Beautiful PR talk, Gamingbolt. Your check will come.
Gamingbolt jesus gtfo!
Has Gamingbolt officially resigned itself as a MS damage control site?
No it doesn't. Cause Phil Spencer said the Xbox X is the only true 4k console. So if he says it, it is right. Darn it.
