>>1934583 We'll get news of this shit tomorrow Goddamn, I can't wait!

>>1940415 No PC game from 2007 could run on a Gamecube

>>1940436 It's like a robot...

>>1941821 Amusing to see the industry flip completely on this topic. I remember when it was "PCs are dying, consoles/mobile and exclusively multiplayer games are the future". It was never true, PC was growing all throughout its "death" and looks like it will totally eclipse consoles within the decade.

>>1941821 Shame gaming is at its worst.

>>1941821 ironic since Take Two is prioritising GTA VI on consoles over including PC on its launch

Hytale resumes development https://hytale.com/news/2025/11/hytale-is-saved Collins-Laflamme actually did it. Purchased back from Riot, now has a team of 30 devs. Will be aiming for the original vision of the game. Apparently Riot and post-founder people were a huge reason it fell apart.

>>1941925 It was dying, Microsoft was actively making it worse and not only pushing the Xbox 360 but also those articles made on their payroll. Valve is pretty shit, but Microsoft is an active fucking cancer on anything they're involved in. >>1942030 Gaming was way worse in the late 2000s and 2010s. >>1942196 Sony and Microsoft are paying a fuckload of money for that.

>>1942327 >It was dying It was growing every single year from 2000 onward. Do you mean in some esoteric cultural sense? Because I'm not talking about that and I don't care about vague concepts largely based on personal opinion.

>>1942286 Im glad they got it back from the assfaggots, the game looks really cool

>>1942354 Casual facebook games were making it grow and it didn't stop it from plateauing after Microsoft completely raped it with their fantastic business decisions. Add to that consoles growing 10 times bigger than it and the platform was in a terrible state.

>>1942286 >>1942356 It looked like 3D Terraria, I hope they get the project back on track. These dev hell projects rarely turn out well but it sometimes does happen; Team Fortress 2, Metroid Dread, and Mother 3. <<1942375 Okay so you're just going to shift goalposts and go ad hoc, well at least you let me know early.

>>1942401 How am I shifting goalposts? I simply stated that your stats are faulty. It would be like me stating that the majority of gaymurs are women.

>>1934583 >Still no news What the fuck

>>1942401 It was jeopardized because riot kept scrapping the project to include new things, several engine iterations nearly put the whole thing in a grave

>>1942286 New devlog teaser? I think a thread might need to be made for this situation, if enough people are interested.

Hypixel just posted a 16-minute video of Hytale gameplay from the years old, pre-shitshow build. The game will be launching into Early Access soon-ish. yewtu.be/watch?v=rhaqjb_S2X8

>>1943476 Not my cup of tea, but this could have been released during the Covid lockdowns and have easily made millions. It's incredible just how bloated and incompetent all these bigger legacy companies are. I'm sure Riot executives somehow embezzled a ton of money from it's "development" as well.

>>1947141 >>1943476 the stupid thing about hytale is that minetest is already capable of becoming everything hytale promised, but between some dumb decisions about what it "should be" and general lack of interest from anyone it never will >already supports blender models in-game in place of generic node boxes >everything is already built on the modding api >worlds are so tall you can noclip for 10 minutes and still not get to the bottom of a world literally only needs 2 things changed, it needs living entities integrated into the engine because the lua implementation runs like dogshit, and dimensions added because currently dimensions are faked by stacking overworld on top of hell world generation, and a less obscure model format for players would be a bonus

>>1947805 >Luanti

>>1947805 Frankly the only time I've ever heard of minetest is through the scant few threads here, and I still have no clear idea what it is besides an open source but more bare bones Minecraft clone. Why play it, when there are a literal million mods for Minecraft, even for earlier versions that aren't automatically shit like the current release?

>>1947824 >pride flags on the contentdb 1) that was someone's mod and b) it was likely added automatically into the rotating banner because of the number of downloads/favorites/recent activity it got >>1947829 * it's free * no dumb drama from third party modding api developers fracturing mods * everything is lua script * no stupid hoops to jump through to install modpacks through third party launchers * you just join a server and it downloads what you need, like in gmod * it's not owned by microsoft puppeting mojang around like a skinwalker * because there is no "base game" it doesn't have to be another minecraft clone where mini-games are implemented through plugin systems, it can just be a whole different game, making it the antithesis of bloat * if something needs to be added to the engine, it's open source, no need to decompile and deobfuscate and figure out generic names of methods/variables/functions like in java It sure as hell isn't perfect but it's so many steps in the right direction that I can't understand why mod developers didn't abandon minecraft wholesale

>>1947824 >still seething over this That's a fucking mod, shut up.

Either an asset sale or a buyout, dance thread soon lads https://ml-eu.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/0e465413-149b-4475-99e9-13d05a0bc71b

>>1948563 I'll dance when it is officially dead.

>>1948563 Honestly, they deserve it but part of me remembers shit like the Sands of Time PoP games, Rayman, earlier AC games, Splinter Cell, and damn why do devs just go to shit? was it the money?

>>1952630 >devs devs are gone, working in different studios, professions or even retired

>>1952630 Do retarded shitheads like you get off from lying?

Tim Cain officially confirms that Arcanum's Half-Ogre Island was only the begining of the Gnomish Threat and was actually one of their relatively less vile experiments.

>>1953091 We don't hate gnomes enough

>>1952630 Those devs are long gone anon

>>1954881 >unreal 5 Ugh

>>1954881 >Stutter engine 5 Not surprising, but still disappointing
