The new guy better scrap all the Crypto nonsense

sparky77839d ago

The new guy is the main guy who wanted to go full NFT and metaverse crazy.

-Foxtrot839d ago

Which is stupid because one of the main reasons the old guy is going is because of the failures in those areas.

Why don't they just admit defeat?

The only issue with Japanese gaming companies like Square Enix, Nintendo and the like are that they are so stubborn.

Would help if you came with a link.

Tapani838d ago

@Foxrot, Yeah, I'm sure you have all the knowledge in the world how to lead a 133 year old 13 Billion dollar company. It's very easy to lead 7000 employees as well. Just let them all know it's their nationality based stubborness and I'm sure they will follow you to whatever path you will take!

It's not crypto nonsense. It's the next version of the Web called Web 3 and it will utilise blockchain technology.
If you are put off by the crypto bros who invested in NFTs then that cool. But this tech is the next big thing for the internet.
A lot of people(especially Jornos) have come out to bash it because they did not understand what the tech is. They said things like NFT are bad for the environment because of mining which is absolute nonsense. Those people hate it because they did not get into it sooner which means they could not control the narrative around it.

To give you can example, lets say a full game is sold as an NFT. If you digitally buy the game you own that game on the blockchain. This mean if you want to sell it in the future you can do so. Currently, in the version of the web we currently have we can sell our digital games but with WEB 3 it allows you to do that.
Think of it for assets in a video game, you can own an armour type in a game like diablo which dropped in the game or purchased. You own that armour and depending on the rarity it could fetch a high price.

SoulWarrior838d ago

We just wanna play games man lol.

FinalFantasyFanatic838d ago

I literally do not care about that stuff, and if I buy a game digitally, I probably want to keep it forever, instead of resell it.

PapaBop835d ago

They can go nuts with their NFT nonsense despite the fact the bubble has clearly burst, I just hope Yoshi P keeps these lunatics away from FF14.

The director of the original Silent Hill: “I look forward to seeing bold interpretations.”

Keiichiro Toyama—the creator and original director of the 1999 Silent Hill—shared his personal thoughts on the recently announced remake by Konami, reflecting on what the project means to him after more than two decades:
“I felt something similar when the game was adapted into a movie. It deeply moved me to see the names of the characters and locations I had created come to life visually, even though I wasn’t directly involved. That wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of the fans and the dedication of the developers who’ve kept the series alive.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how the remake evolves this time. With the advanced technology we now have, I’m sure I’ll be surprised by how the game is reimagined. Since the original was built for the first PlayStation, there will naturally be challenges—like the camera and controls—but I’m eager to see bold and creative solutions to those elements.”

Haha Not only is bold and creatively not what the industry wants, it’s not what most people want.

They want to get scammed and pay twice for a thing they already own.

Nightcrawler895h ago

Hope they use his vision in the game

Inverno5h ago

Was the SH2 remake even bold? Or was it more or less just a 1 to 1 over the shoulder remake?

Pedrof4h ago

I wouldn't hold my breath on "bold".
