August 25th is the battle of the brawlers on XBLA with both Shank and Scott Pilgrim out on the same day. We talk with Jamie Cheng, founder of Klei Entertainment, about Shank which will be available on the PlayStation Network later today!
Sure, there was online gaming back in the day but the modern age of online video gaming began almost twenty years ago with Xbox Live 1.0.
Haha. Yep. To be fair, I feel that it was actually worth it because it kept a good minimum standard. There was horrible lag back in the day and a lot of cheating/hacking. More so than today.
That is arguable seeing as how good similar PC services are these days. The lack of cheaters on console is the closed ecosystem rather than extra effort by MS/Sony
"To be fair, I feel that it was actually worth it because it kept a good minimum standard. There was horrible lag back in the day and a lot of cheating/hacking. More so than today."
The horrible lag back then was due to peole not having the speeds needed to run games, peoples internet speeds were all over the place. Hacking is as bad today, if not worse than back then. People now have access to sophisticated hacking programmes that were nowhere near as prevalent as they are today. Anticheat software was also available way before Xbox Live and the paid online services became a thing.
I gamed online a lot from 1999 onwards and had great times playing without having issues with people cheating and no one had to pay for an online subscription.
The upcoming mobile game Don't Starve: Newhome just got a new animated story trailer and things don't look good for Wilson... or anyone else stuck in the Constant.
Chinese gaming conglomerate Tencent has acquired a majority stake in Klei Entertainment, the developer of Don't Starve, Oxygen Not Included, and Griftlands.
Can they just...stop gobbling up everything? This is such a great indie studio. I'm not a fan of Tencent having a majority stake in them. Companies like Riot, whatever. But smaller quality devs? Quit it, Tencent!
how about we stop letting chinese companies with ccp handlers buy any stake in any western company.
It was fun to play Don't starve together while it lasted. I guess I won't play anymore
