vidya with best audio design? Anonymous 08/24/2025 (Sun) 17:15:28 Id: 440e70 No. 1688664 [Reply]
What vidya out of all those you've played has had the best, most atmospheric/immersive audio design? I'm getting high quality headphones for the first time in my life and would like to test them out on some games. As of now, I've heard that most horror should have good audio, but I'm a colossal pussy so would prefer other genres. Apparently Metro 2033 and Last Light are good, as well as Red Orchestra. Is there anything else?

>>1889328 Most stealth games I notice have some really good audio design. Playing through TLOU 1 and 2 you realize the game doesn't really needs its assisted listening mode if you have a decent set of speakers, because hearing clickers and the other zombies is really precise. Same with the callouts with the cultist whistles. Its one of the parts I enjoy most about the games honestly.
I remember people tried to praise Devil Daggers' audio design here years ago before any discussion of the game was drowned out with >ONE LEVEL >ONE WEAPON
>>1896995 I made the title edit of that meme. Devil Daggers was textbook FOTM, it was also one of the first games I can remember to adopt the faux PS1 look. I remember everybody trying to act like it was some unique and important game, now it's completely forgotten not ten years later. Please tell me somebody still has the image, I lost it years ago

Microsoft continues Xbox layoffs/Everwild has been cancelled Anonymous 07/02/2025 (Wed) 14:47:20 Id: d98370 No. 1523041 [Reply] [Last]
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.

>>1891960 >$1,200 Xbox Magnus We'll have to see what the finalized specs are, especially in relation to other PC hardware on the market, but the next Xbox is just going to be a Windows 11 PC in a branded SFF case. It's not a terrible price for an upper-mid-range prebuilt Win 11 PC. If you just want an "Xbox Console", and I don't know why the fuck you would, but if you do - you're gonna be fucked for that price. But it could be a great affordable entry-point for PC gaming - especially if the price hikes on RAM/SSDs/GPUs due to increasing demand from AI companies ends up completely fucking the PC hardware market. Even more than it already is.
>>1892012 its most likely going to use pc hardware like the last 2 console generations but locked down with its own system and custom drivers specifically for it
>>1894164 If they're serious about merging Xbox and Windows into a singular platform, then it doesn't make any sense to lock down the branded Xbox hardware, because everything is an Xbox and nothing else is locked down. That decreases the value proposition for no real gain. Though they will have custom hardware that's non-upgradable, which could end up fucking them later on down the road. How are they going to keep charging $1,200 three years down the line when that mid-range hardware is now low-end and getting trounced by OEM partners who can sell much more powerful hardware for the same price or maybe even less. They're certainly not going to be able to raise prices as the hardware depreciates. I mean the platforms are already merged, but there's not quite 1:1 parity just yet - so Xbox can still be considered by the market as holding the monopoly "on Xbox hardware" - but they're now going to open up that market and inviting competition in going into next gen. To a point, Microsoft doesn't care. Just more copies of Windows to spy on people and gather telemetry for ads and feeding their AI. Still, they have contracts with AMD and other suppliers to provide Xbox hardware and it'd be a huge loss for them to have them all sit around in warehouses because they've been shut out of their own market. Maybe they just expect the stupids to pay out extra for the no-hassle hardware and security of the official Xbox standard hardware - but if they want the brand to carry them, then they should really be doing a hell of a lot more to build confidence in that brand, rather than burning it to the ground.

Great games that suck Anonymous 10/28/2025 (Tue) 03:41:11 Id: c79667 No. 1887064 [Reply]
Have you ever played a game that wasn't fun but still rewarding? I didn't enjoy at least half the time I spent playing Planescape Torment. I distinctly remember thinking to myself, "Anyone who says this is a good game is lying." The combat is below average and the terrible encounter design makes so many parts miserable to play. Looking back, however, the game did have have a lot of special moments that still stand out in my mind. The section between leaving the Hive and Ravel's Maze, which has hardly any combat, is like a really good point and click adventure. I don't know if I agree that it has the best video game story of all time, like everyone says, but certain parts have amazing atmosphere and pretty much all of the main party members are great once you're able to learn more about their backstories. I wish someone would make a mod that removed all of the generic enemies and only left the ones related to the story. IIRC, even the developers admitted that they only included combat out of obligation. Removing 99% of it would actually be more in line with their intentions.

What do you think is the reasoning behind Capcom launching their games as sudo-live service? Just like World, Wilds came out incomplete as they release updates with content that should be there on release, but this time much worse. I don't know anyone who actually buys MTX for these games, specially on PC where a single mod or CE can unlock everything that is paywalled. And this is the least of the game's problems.
80 posts and 33 images omitted.
>>1890665 >A lot of big devs seem to have this issue. They want the live service model but they fundamentally misunderstand how much work that entails to be even remotely successful. The trickle of content is to (a) Give shills and journos (but I repeat myself) a talking point to defend the roster, and (b) keep interest until the DLC appears on the horizon. World had a similar problem, but World also delivered reasonably well - Iceborne, despite its glaring flaws, was a pretty massive DLC and between IB and the TUs World's roster added quite a few fan favorites like the lightning monkes, Jho/Savage Jho, Glavenus, Brachy, Nargacuga, Alatreon and Fatty, etc. and added a more traditional endgame. Where they kinda fucked themselves was with Rise, as Risebreak ended up with a roster of 78 large mons on top of shipping with 48 large mons at base. It had any number of other problems and lacked the spit and shine of World but World's dearth of content was partially excused by "new direction for series, prease undastandu" + Iceborne, and Risebreak's flaws were cushioned by a lesser degree to the shift from MT Framework (which they had been using for MH since 2011) to RE Engine and the fact that it was designed to be Switch-friendly. However, Wilds has neither excuse. It uses RE Engine, an engine which has already been used to create a MH game with a metric fuckton of content, and the groundwork and resources for the "FHD open world" flavor of MH was already extensively laid by Worldborne and Rise. Rise in particular, seemed to have no issue with porting over a vast amount of content from World. Wilds also had a very generous dev cycle; World was basically wrapped up with Iceborne and the portable team also pitched in starting in 2022 after Sunbreak dropped. So on top of the various poor decisions you have a lot of people asking "where's the beef?". Also, as a small aside: Capcom has actually improved marginally when it comes to DLC/incomplete MonHun games. In previous generations, they would release a game that had LR/HR content and not much else and then later release another game at full price that had the existing game plus G-rank content and new monsters. Freedom -> FU, Gen -> GenU, etc. Handling this with DLC is actually an improvement, in the same way that getting splashed with piss is better than getting splattered with shit.
>>1891460 No. Actually being able to buy a physical edition of the full game is better. Now you can never ever own a copy of the full game.

Alternative form in Vidya Games that allow you to assume power with a sinister take and appearance to match. I've been thinking about games that allow you to turn into a monster since I enjoyed playing PSP2I's beast and loved using nanoblast to turn into a werewolf and the rare occasion I managed to use dark nanoblast to extend and become even more vicious. I'm looking for games that give you the feeling of turning into something more feral and vicious. Even better if it's something non human. I guess alternative versions of characters also count as well if the fifth image is anything to go by.

ELEGOO Jupiter SE seems promising, affordable and should be large enough to make the dolls I have in mind but I'll probably need a curing machine as well. I have zero experience with 3D printing so this will be a massive learning experience. If there's anything else I should know feel free to mention it.

re-pitch a failed game. Anonymous 10/26/2025 (Sun) 15:50:11 Id: 1b0ef0 No. 1882939 [Reply] [Last]
I have been thinking about Concord a lot lately. I read somewhere that the art was inspired by Moebius and heavy metal magazine. Concords design on their own makes me feel nothing but knowing this was inspired by Moebius angers me. While thinking about this I thought it would be funny to try and pitch an alternate version of it that might have gone better. So I got this. We drop the PvP aspect entirely. Instead we will be an entirely PvE shooter! All the characters are supposed to be treasure hunters on the same space ship so I have no idea why they would fight anyway. This way you are still a hero shooter but you are (as far as I know) the only hero shooter on the market that is PvE focused. Then you just make big maps and fill them with objectives and side objectives that they have to do. Like helldivers 2 but as a hero shooter. I think that would stand out a lot more than Concord did. I can't draw so I can't re-design the characters to actually look good. Someone else is going to have to fix that part of it.

I am confused by something /v/. I was surprised to find out that borderlands 4 was released but it has less than 4000 reviews as of me writing this. I think this is odd since I was entirely expecting normalfags to just eat it up like they ate up 3. So why aren't they? It might not seem related at all but I was under the impression that about 3-5% of gamers leave steam reviews. So having the numbers for a major triple AAA game be low baffles me a bit. I want it to be clear that I fucking hate gearbox and i have hated them since the second borderlands game. For some reason people pretend like borderlands 2 is good for whatever reason. So I am quite a bit happy that Gearbox is flopping but I am still confused why. The quality of a game doesn't matter at all to sales so I am ruling that out. Was there a controversy before hand? That usually doesn't matter either but maybe some people were more pissed than usual? Maybe people are just distracted by everything else going on right now. That could be a factor but I am not sure if that is enough to explain how little this game is selling. Maybe I am to quick to jump to conclusions and the game will sell really well tomorrow? Please help me out here /v/. Also the pestilent defiler is the best gun.

Can we have a Stalker thread? I've recently tried out what all the fuss around GAMMA is about and I must say it's quite a fun experience For people who don't know, it's a customizable modpack for Anomaly (a freeplay mod consiting all areas of the first 2 stalker games) and comes with its own updater and Mod organizer 2 config. You need the GAMMA launcher fiels wich can be downloaded from theri shitcord, but if you are a boomer like me who doesn't want to make an aacount you can just download this somewhat older build off mediafire and it will update itself upon lauch to the newest version. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/agyul0e6fbban/STALKER_GAMMA Then you need Anomaly itself which can be downlaoded here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/downloads Unpack both into their seperate folders and then point the MO2 from the gamma folder towards the Anomaly folder and from there it will be basically autopilot. I enjoyed the A-life in this and how the best parts of the original trilogy are expanded upon, specifically the hobo phase. Weapon and armor upgrades feel siginifcant but you can even start out with some decent gear since you get a few points to spend on a new game. I'd recommend tweaking the MCM settings to your liking though, stuff like dropped ammo amount and gear condition based on rank for example. I also didn't like the brown and colorless look of the default install, reinstalling the grass and weater mods gives several options like spring, summer, autumn, winter etc.
