And here's the hint on WHY ray tracing has been delayed: the game has a more dynamic sky system, stuck in-between Dying Light 1 (fully dynamic) and Dying Light 2 (several pre-baked spots):

Oddly enough, it also affects games: our screen changed, dynamic range extended, etc.:

This baby from Battlefield 4 preview can probably play Battlefield 6 by now!

OFF (pero no mucho)

Literally this meme

Funcom shuts down The Outsiders. The studio existed for a decade and is known for a fairly successful rhythm shooter Metal: Hellsinger.

And Funcom also let go a lot of their own staff members: it seems that the recent launch of Dune: Awakening wasn't a long lasting success.

Fair enough

Apparently, people thought that Zelda (named after princess Zelda) will be happy to see her father Robin Williams in AI slop videos.

The legendary comedian took his life many years ago when his neurological issues started to appear. He was no longer able to remember noscripts nor improvise.

Yeah, I can relate 😅

It seems like Total War Warhammer III developers made players mad and a lot of influencers to quit the series.

1. New bugs caused AI to do nothing after certain moment. Some factions just literally stop any steps further after turn 20.

2. New random effects from unique places can cause significant damage to the player without clarity on how to counter, like plague everywhere.

3. A lot of GPU-related crashes.

4. New skills and gameplay features often not fit into the overall balance (there are over 100 lords in the game, folks).

Honestly, at certain point it may make sense to move on and make the new Total War Rome.

Yeah, if you missed the point: the recent "COD lost $300m because of GamePass" isn't true in my opinion.

They lost it because the series is getting worse for what was supposed to be their target audience.

Also, YEAH: Battlefield explained!

1. Revive
2. Wait for Revive
3. Play as a team

That's curious: The Beast has unusually high % of people who played it through. Despite huge sales, it seems they are VERY targeted, not random bypassers.

Usually the first mission in an open-world is only completed by about 75-85%, not 97%+

Then 70% for a mission that is like 10 hours into the gameplay? That's insanely good conversion rates.

For example: only 61% of The Witcher 3 found Yennefer, which is literally the first objective.

Arduino was already overpriced as hell, what's now?

Steam is down. To be more specific, Steam community went offline in the morning and how it got even worse, so the store and APIs are also down.

And yes, not just Steam: earlier today a wide range of services went down or were disrupted. But Steam is at its worst now.

Here's how it looks if you try to install games now.
