Are we witnessing the end of PC gaming as we know it?
>>729106669Crypto is not comparable because it was only regular people buying the GPU's, now you have private companies using unlimited government funds to buy everything before it even leaves the fuckin silicon mines.
>>729106705I can't wait for the data centres to be bombed after Israel has completely decoupled its economy from the west just like Russia circa 1917 when the millionaires fled and left them starving in breadlines.If you don't think this is a way to centralize the entire western economy into something that can be easily obliterated and destroying us on a global economic level for generations, you're retarded.We've been told that these data centres are worth tens of billions of dollars because they're full of RAM that went from fifty bucks to nine hundred and fifty bucks in the span of three months because they told us RAM prices went up that high just because.We have billionaires trading the same billion dollars amongst each other around these fucking data centres and they're saying every single passing of the billion is a billion dollar increase to the dollar value of that initial billion dollars.We have our entire economy tied up in undefended targets, while the tangible gold and resources have been shipped off when they can be shipped off and sold off when they can't be shipped off.Those motherfuckers are getting bombed.Welcome to the breadlines.
>>729107237>Anon thinks this is a problem because datacenters can be bombedYou are so young lmao
>>729107237the sheer volume of mass surveilance AI has already enabled and will enable in the future will ensure that such bombings won't happen.
>>729107237if datacenters in the middle of bumfuck nowhere get bombed we have bigger problems than the economy
Deadass the only way I can see them ever topping ultimate is just by doing it again but adding non-vidya characters with close ties to gaming like Spider-Man, because that's literally the only line they haven't crossed yet
>>729105556Sakurai has said a lot of things he's gone back on in the past
>>729105556Rosterfags are some of the biggest manchildren in gaming. They don't even understand why none of their insane character suggestions are taken seriously, let alone understand how much work a game like Ultimate actually took.
>>729100316>lots of character reworks, particularly the original 12? Whats even the point of that. Most of the original 12 use their most iconic moves. Maybe you can make the argument for Mario, DK and Kirby, but what the hell is Link going to do when Bombs, bows and the spin attack are in every game. The characters don't need any other change than maybe what they did for some characters in Smash 4.
>>729105928The problem here is the licensing. It might be possible to bring a lot of the Nintendo characters back now that they've updated them to a modern engine with an HD model (Smash 6 isn't going to look that different from Ultimate lets be honest), but the guest characters are a different story. With like 16 characters between 8 companies, most of them being DLC, there is no way Nintendo will want to spend the time and money to bring everyone back. Sakurai knew this. Probably the only reason they could make Ultimate happened is they were planning it while Smash 4's DLC was still ongoing and the only other company they needed to get the approval of was Konami. They probably also had to make some other concessions which are why the 3rd Party Miis are paid DLC again where all the Nintendo ones, including ones that were DLC in SMash 4, were in the base game for free.
>>729100414The clone characters should definitely have bigger differences in their movesets and/or stats. At least visually. Some of the oldest characters should also get their moves updated to be less generic and include more references to their previous games.
> 2006 game> Looks better than most 2025 games like Shitpedition 33Mmmm
>>729106443uncslop
>>729107268you've on a rampage everywhere, eric
>>729107268
This is ridiculous. The devs said they didn't want to make flat characters, but they completely went in the opposite direction. This doesn't even look good because it's too big.
>>729106634They said they'll eventually make a slimegirl, I hope she turns out good.
>>729105194Lmao
>>729106634Thankfully, she didn't get nerfed like the last collab character.
>>729086902You dont get to decide what too big is faggot.
>>729092348>weird tiny head bayonetta character
Twilight Princess has been 100% decompiled...thank you so much to all members of the Zelda community for making this a reality...soon we will have a native Twilight Princess PC port...
>>729104475depends on the QoLs it brings but yeah maybe
>>729100012good for him
>>729104450Same dif at this point
>>729104383>he says being literally the first and only anon to talk about niggerdicks ITT
>>729099887Oh man, imagine this game with a genuine hard mode. My main gripe with TP is that it is far too easy and so the world never really felt threatening.
WE EVOLVE, BEYOND THE GAME WE WERE THE MINUTE BEFORE.LITTLE BY LITTLE, WE ADVANCE A BIT FURTHER WITH EACH COMMIT.THAT'S HOW GAMEDEV WORKS.
>>729106648If you've taken damage in the last x seconds, you are not allowed to save. In my game I have a combat status which is kept up if you've attacked, been attacked, or taken damage, or even seen an enemy in the last few seconds. During combat status you are not allowed to save the game. In my game you could still save scum a little bit, but you have to escape from enemies and hide to do it.
>>729107348yeah not allowing players to save while they have a mortal status effect could be a good enough approach
>>729086073try same color but outlines and maybe glowing eyes
>>729107336Maybe burn and poison can't actually kill you, only reduce you to 1 health.
>>729107336I think dot effects are interesting and removing them shouldn't be the workaroundmaybe you could instead make them last shorter and be removable (for example, fire gets doused by rolling few times, poison gets cured by drinking a potion)
Pay up Goy
You would be smarter to take out a loan, buy a 5090 and pay off the loan over 5 years than to go with geforce now.
>>729105919You're both retarded but you're crazy if you think the guns are going to save us. Covid proved they won't. What they did to the Jan 6thers proves they won't. The real reason door-to-door confiscation of anything won't work here is that there are too many dangerous niggers in this country. The left would oppose it because it's "racist" and it "disproportionately targets minorities". Whites, especially anglos have a hardon for handing away their freedom for safety.
>>729106001>>729106196>>729106829Reminder there are millions of gun owners and the US army infantry is only 50k people. Keep coping that you aren't allowed to own guns.
>>729082730The principle problem with cloud gaming is the cost to the providers. All those servers in all those datacenters with all those pipes and the staff to manage them costs a hell of a lot of money. If PCs get too expensive for joe schmoe to own one, that doesn't make cloud gaming any more of a winning proposition for nVidia, microsoft, amazon...The model only works if 50+ people effectively timeshare a single node by paying their rates but only playing a few hours a week. But the problem is most people are gaming at the SAME time. Since latency is a bitch they can't even use those machines for EUs or JPs to ride out the quiet periods for more money, they need to have MORE machines in MORE datacenters around the world.At this point cloud gaming only exists to ensure that nobody else comes into the space and figures out the economic model before the big boys.
>>729105159>shitshow of latencyIt's even worse than OnLive was.I thought I could use it to try out shit like Apex so I could see roughly what it was like without having to root my machine with chinese spyware anti-cheat. I expected lag, but holy fuck this was bad. I tried it again with HL2 in the early hours of the morning at it wasn't any better. The 3rd time I had to queue for 20mins. Fucking useless service.

Kancolle WILL make a comeback one day in vidya
>>729106758Come on now, AL always had kids boats, a score of throwaway whatever looking ones and the pornstar proportioned anime supermodels. Now it's an arms race to see who has the bigger tits.
>>729106981Getting stuff while in the area.>inb4 ShitgureYeah.>>729106876Even better since everyone and their mother seems to be in Tokyo, so there's barely anyone around.
>>729106991kancolle is usually 1st most of the time, an event ended very recently so everyone is burnt out from all the grinding, uma and im@s gakuen always contend for 2nd, then you have grandblue as a unbreakable wall and then the rest.war thunder right now is having an event plus you can also get many vehicles at half the usual cost, which is hella good for high tiers cuz it's get crazy expensive there.
>>729107331Nice collection of doujin. Scan some if you find anything obscure.
>>729107331Well, that's all for now. The real party's at Yokosuka, but I wanted to see the ports.
https://www.ign.com/articles/eiji-aonuma-hints-that-next-zelda-game-will-be-inspired-by-elements-of-hyrule-warriors-age-of-imprisonment>Aonuma even suggests that this fruitful collaboration might influence the next mainline Zelda title. “The inspiration we received from this collaboration with Koei Tecmo may be reflected in the (next) Zelda we create. Please picture this while playing Age of Imprisonment, and look forward to our Zelda.”Uh....I'm not sure how to feel about this. Did anyone even play the fucking boring DW spinoff?
>>729106487I have beaten every game in the series, even the fuckass ones like Four Swords Adventures. I don't even like Tears. There's a lot of objects in it that affect your decisions, more than any other game in the series. You guys are so autistic you can't realize normal people don't know what the distinction is that you're screeching over, because we're unc now
>>729106101>Where's the mechaThankfully not in the fucking game, not in any of those games because the developers knew how to structure levels and dungeons
>>729106910MM did give you Ultraman form in the Stone Tower boss fight to take down twin kaiju though, and that shit's a million times cooler than a gay little Scooty Puff Jr. "mecha".
>>729107098MM is the best in the series it will never get that good again

Discuss Mega Man
>>729104230Misadventures of Tron Bonne is truly a hidden gem. There are so many different mini-games, the servbot management is adorable, and for some reason, the aesthetics of the game and characters remind me of Toriyama's designs.
>>729104425Not even X1?
im so fucking excited for dual override /v/rosalso i love mega man zero 4 i used to play it on the toilet while taking a shit. i got good enough to s-rank the whole thing and unlock all the minigames. the last one is a crystal matching game with the z-knuckle that is fun as fuck
The guy who played Joe in the Light up the Night video died. He has a sticky on /tv/
>>729106685>im so fucking excited for dual override /v/rosSame here. I hope Capcom is sincere when they say they want to make Mega Man a core franchise again.

>>729104864t. Some gay nigga
>>729104864Wait, if games aren't art, then that means AI isn't hurting them when it's used
>>729104864It's not a black and white thing, and I'll even give the exception often intentionally ignored to perpetuate this tired "discussion", but one of the strongest reasons I now lean more to Ebert's side overall is because after reading his article about people submitting examples which kept making the fundamental mistake of being mostly about visuals, story or writing strength I've seen many more people since continue to do the same fucking thing, over and over again.I won't say you can just wholesale rip the select scenes, upload it to Youtube and get the same impression as if you were to play the games, most of them anyway, but the point remains if your best impression of a game's strength as art is from text like a book or cutscenes like animation you are inadvertently substantiating his point that the game part is more a side than a main.Like if you were playing some promotional phone during a break between watching a series, the phone game doesn't become elevated from that.Anyway, the exception is stuff like Cosmology of Kyoto where the game proves its art by integrating the choices the player makes with the history and folklore. It's mostly point and click but where you go, who you speak with, what you say, what you do, all that is at once presentation and interaction. If more movie games did that then video games would have more modern examples of an art form, but that sort of thing takes knowledge, creativity and effort whereas it's easier to just churn out a "cinematic experience".Damn shame.
