Anyone played this game? It's an open source PvP battle-royale game with nuclear weapons, trade, alliances, etc. It has a very board game feel to it.

https://vfun.valofe.com/library?service_code=s4league The game is being officially brought back by VFUN. What are our thoughts? I remember we played this game on a private server a while back.

The rumors are true, Xbox is laying off around 9 thousand people today from the Xbox team from multiple studios. More specifically they're laying off people within Activision and Bethesda. Additionally because of these cuts, the Rare title Everwild that was announced in 2019 has been cancelled. Here's Phil's letter to staff >Today we are sharing decisions that will impact colleagues across our organization. To position Gaming for enduring success and allow us to focus on strategic growth areas, we will end or decrease work in certain areas of the business and follow Microsoft’s lead in removing layers of management to increase agility and effectiveness. Out of respect for those impacted today, the specifics of today’s notifications and any organizational shifts will be shared by your team leaders in the coming days. >I recognize that these changes come at a time when we have more players, games, and gaming hours than ever before. Our platform, hardware, and game roadmap have never looked stronger. The success we're seeing currently is based on tough decisions we've made previously. We must make choices now for continued success in future years and a key part of that strategy is the discipline to prioritize the strongest opportunities. We will protect what is thriving and concentrate effort on areas with the greatest potential, while delivering on the expectations the company has for our business. This focused approach means we can deliver exceptional games and experiences for players for generations to come. >Prioritizing our opportunities is essential, but that does not lessen the significance of this moment. Simply put, we would not be where we are today without the time, energy, and creativity of those whose roles are impacted. These decisions are not a reflection of the talent, creativity, and dedication of the people involved. Our momentum is not accidental—it is the result of years of dedicated effort from our teams. >HR is working directly with impacted employees to provide severance plan benefits (aligned with local laws), including pay, healthcare coverage, and job placement resources to support their transition. Employees whose roles were eliminated are encouraged to explore open positions across Microsoft Gaming, where their applications will be given priority review. >Thank you to everyone who has shaped our culture, our products, and our community. We will move forward with deep appreciation and respect for all who have contributed to this journey. >Phil Personally while I have no love for Xbox, this comes during a time where it's literally impossible to find work in the video games industry. Personally, I'd like for the entire Xbox executive team to be replaced by people who actually care about games, have games industry experience, and actually know how to run a business, although that would actually require Nadella to stop focusing on AI and try to make an actually good product.

For me? It's NARC. >first game to use digitized images, which lead to Mortal Kombat >even more extreme violence than Mortal Kombat, 4 years before it came out >edgy humor, before GTA >extremely fun to play arcade action that draws from all the 80s tropes

It's like they spent the whole development time in making pretty enviroments and slapped it to a game in the last week before release.

Not just a video games issue, but it's the medium that's taken it the worst. Attached are the new, actual UIs for the upcoming titles Marathon and Borderlands 4. This shit is inexcusably bad. Marathon's menus look like programmer art for a game that is supposedly coming out this year. This is likely in line with nu-Marathon's art style of simplistic bright colors. I don't think that excuses it looking like shit, though. Halo Reach, another one of Bungie's games, had minimalist UI design that looked gorgeous and fit well with the aesthetic of the games. Borderlands was never a star in user interface, but their new attempt is disgusting, and many people have called it out for poorly copying Destiny. Compare this to it's previous titles. Borderlands 1 has a stylized, albeit cluttered menu. Borderlands 2 keeps the style but makes it cleaner, easier to read, and diegetic. Borderlands 3 makes it too clean, but keeps it diegetic and usable. The menu in Borderlands 4 is disgusting. It's incredibly generic, it turns the stats into mysterious icons, turns the gun selection into a radial menu (???) and overall does not fit stylistically.

What racing game are you playing? recently played Cruis'n World on the MAME emulator. I put a lot of quarters in this arcade game as a kid, but I never beaten it until now. No joke, the game literally ends in outer space with Bill Clinton in a jacuzzi surrounded by two bitches. One of those bitches is Hillary Clinton in a bikini.
