Nintendo struck down the Lockpick homebrew project that many users note is, ironically, the only legal way to emulate Switch games. Meanwhile, Nintendo's actions have already scared the developers of Skyline, an Android Switch emulator, into shutting down development to avoid any potential legal issues. However, PC's Ryujinx isn't shutting down.
Game Pressure met with the one and only Josh Sawyer at Digital Dragons and chatted about RPGs, Pentiment, Pillars of Eternity, the state of the industry, and the genre.
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 developers discuss the huge success of Space Marine 2 and its effect on the series as a whole.
I’ll get Space Marine 2 when it’s cheaper. I don’t pay more than half price for short games.
Sector sat down with Glen Schofield—creator of Dead Space and The Callisto Protocol—during the Game Developers Session (GDS) in Prague to discuss the evolution of the game industry, the current challenges of AAA development, and why it's become so hard to get original ideas off the ground in today’s risk-averse environment.
It’s easy enough to say that, but why? It feels weird to me when developers say this but common sense would tell you everything about the idea itself should work.
The idea of the concept seems like a winner at whichever angle you look at it so why would publishers not greenlight it?
… it’s almost as if the majority of publishers are massively incompetent at their jobs. But there’s no surprise to anyone there.
That is a shame Skyline was being developed so fast that we already had many Switch games playable on phones. With a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 even BOTW was already running at almost fixed 30fps and the much weaker SD 840 was enough for the more light games— even Pokemon was running well on those.
Shame nintendo somebody will come along and reattempt the process nintendo idek if you have legal grounds here.
Nintendo doesn’t play around but their legal team feels aggressively anti-Nintendo fan.
Put the cart in the switch, there you go.
Still, I don't understand the point of Nintendo consoles. As with every company that's out there, Nintendo are in it for the money. More money made making their games available on all formats, including PC, mobiles, tablets and laptops. I have a Switch that's constantly docked, so how about a plug in console that takes cards? I don't want to play games on a small screen.
