God I hope no one ever buys out Valve. The fact it has no share holds to please is what makes it such a good eco system.

[@mightylink65]

Executives are the problem, they keep doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on live services and they keep failing over and over again. They're the reason why AAA is doing so poorly right now. They will keep trying to push the live service model down to the bottom like a sinking ship without ever changing the course. My advice to developers... leave, start indie companies, don't expect to have any job security with any AAA publishers owning you.

[@nicholasbullock1709]

Exactly. Executives aren’t gamers or even creative people. They see market trends and try to copycat other successes until they get the same results.

The thing I love about both Shantae and River City Girls is the clean designs and animation. YARS looks to have the art style in the bag but it's kind of stiff. It's weird to see a Wayforward game with so little passive movement.

[@Hadeks_Marow]

If that TMNT game doesn't have offline coop on the Nintendo Switch of all platforms; I am going to pass. Once again the prioritization of online coop shafts what should be a no Brainer offline coop game. I would rather have offline only than online only, as it would make it worth adding to the growing TMNT library on the Switch. Here is hoping they include it and we get ports of the 2003 and the 3D PS3/360 games.

[@nicholasbullock1709]

Agreed. Time to start re-incentivizing people to socialize locally. Not only distant. Online is nice to have but, local multiplayer is what people have been wanting for years now.

[@krazycharlie]

Ask all the developers who lost their jobs from 2022 until now the same question about live service games. Let's see how many of them have confidence on this "adorable" business model.

[@aaroncarroll2844]

I think the Nintendo Switch alone proves it is not about sheer power. In the end it is about the game and the enjoyment. The endless upgrade cycle for everything is tiresome. It would be nice if we did not have to upgrade the systems every 8 years or so and then they would spend the money on game development instead.

[@G360LIVE]

The reason new hardware is released every so many years is because hardware sales go down and new hardware is needed to boost sales. Even Nintendo is in constant need of releasing new hardware. They released the Switch, then Switch Lite, then Switch OLED, and next year, they'll be releasing the Switch 2. Also, the reason Nintendo doesn't release the most powerful handheld they can is because they want to keep the cost down for consumers.

[@dhLord64]

To an extent but it's reaaaallly showing its age and its becoming impossible to port anything. When games run poorly, it does effect enjoyment.

[@NoBeats_]

Game developers should form a union.

[@AlexP-dz7ew]

If you want to know how this will turn out, look at the tv and film industry Since their last strike, the amount of projects being made has halved. Streaming operates much like the live service model. The second the suits get pressed and told to pay more by the union, they just invest less in the industry to keep investors happy. I’m not saying unionizing is bad, but it can be a double edged sword. Not to mention a gaming union would surely like AI protections and if that happens expect a lot of studios to punish devs by making less work for them…

That Indie World was not for me, ì will just say that I don't like how people hate the show because Hollow Knight Silksong didn't come up, let Team Cherry work on the game, I'd rather they give it us when it is finished

[@cbgg1585]

This “when it is finished” line doesn’t mean anything anymore. Elden Ring launched a mess and still won GOTY. Elden Ring is a souls type of game, with tight hit-boxes, i-frames and a need of low latency. FromSoft failed to deliver in this department. In spite of this, Elden Ring still (corruptly) got 10’s across the board. The console versions are just not as bad as PC, but Digital foundry proved Elden Ring was severely lacking on the performance side at launch. Why did Elden Ring get a pass at launch when its frame rate was all over the place on top of other issues at launch? Why the lack of uproar? Why always glorifying FromSoft despite them ALWAYS releasing unoptimized games at release? People will still wet themselves if Silksong released in similar shape.

[@Hadeks_Marow]

I hate it because it was all shovelware. The biggest indie game they had wasn't even indie, it was a property owned by nickelodeon where the gameplay was just a ripoff of hades. . . and was a port of a mobile phone game (apple arcade but still). The biggest game. . . was just shameless. Nintendo really REALLY needs to stop pushing all these stupid "artsie" games. I get there is an audience for it. . . but we are talking about videogames here. Games by their dictionary definition are a competitive form of play. So the focus should WAY more be on "action games" because that's the thing that got 90% of game players into video games. But for some reason, when nintendo hear indie, they think "cutsie, artsie, story".

I actually already started shifting my PlayStation games over to PC a couple of months ago. All of the PlayStation games that I hadn't played yet were re-purchased, on a sale, of course, on PC and added to my Steam library. (My PlayStation library is so small, it only made sense.) So this is excellent news for me. There are just 18 games left on my PS5 that are stuck on that platform since Steam doesn't have those games. After I wax off the last PlayStation games, it will just be the Xbox and PC running this house. (And a wee bit of the Nintendo Switch as well.)

My specific thoughts: - There are very few games that do well as live-service: Games like Sea of Theives (like you just mentioned), but also DLC-driven games like Minecraft, I honestly thought Pinball FX during early access “had” a good foundation, (using currency to pick, choose & buy tables rather than buying bulk $9 to $30 table bundles, with these automated discounts, and having it all cross-platform; but that was canned due to fan outcry, mostly because of that table upgrade path getting the axe, & general disgust for live-service monetization, in addition to Zen getting hammered by Embracer & with Saber becoming independent) - I was pretty pumped to see Antonblast the moment I saw it on Kickstarter, glad to see it there: Also forget Hollow Knight Silksong, Pizza Tower might have a better chance of appearing in these things. - Golden Axe as a Comedy Central comedy is an interesting choice. I am glad SegaSammy decided to stretch their wings beyond Sonic & Persona getting multimedia projects. I hope either Yakuza, Valkyria Chronicles, Phantasy Star, Sakura Wars or even Space Channel 5 get some type of Anime adaptation someday.

[@zaeranos]

I don't know why people keep expecting Hollow Knight Silksong all the time. That game has already been featured in an Indie World Showcase. As far as I can remember there hasn't been an indie game that has been featured twice or more on Indie World Showcase. At most a game gets a feature once and later is part of the sizzle reel, just like Another Crab's Treasure. That being said it is not out of the realm of possibilities that a game won't be featured twice. There just isn't any precedence for it, to keep expecting Silksong to be featured in another Indie World Showcase.

It would be a bad idea for Sony to create their own launcher unless it was steam deck compatible at launch. The only ps games I have ever purchased through PC was through steam so I had them on my deck. If Sony pulls their games from steam, then they would lose any sales from the people who are only interested in their games on PC for handheld support.

The Delta emulator is very good and fun, but there’s a bug or something that after a short a while of playing DS or N64 games. The sound will be replaced by a long buzzing noise, and you have to go to the main menu of the emulator and back into the game you were playing to bring back the original sounds. I hope this will be patched soon. Other than that, it’s very cool emulator and make sure to be careful while finding and downloading games, and the files needed in order to make DS games work.

[@reijinshinryen1339]

Oh, yeah. The GBA has the same problem that I’ve mentioned above, but the buzzing noises is somewhat permanent after a second of loading up an GBA games. I don’t know why, and I believe it’s not the games itself. So, I think it’s the emulator needs some fixes with this buzzing sounds.

I tried it out last night with pokemon yellow 😆 i was reliving the 90s all of a sudden. Ive been using retroarch on my samsung for a while.

I tried the Anton Blast demo because I kept reading how it looks like a Wario Land game and I honestly disagree. It felt more like a Sega Genesis game on steroids with just way too much happening on screen. The movement of either character was very frenetic too and I found it difficult to keep track of either.

I know i can just use my old galaxy phone for emulation but it’s cool playing gba and n64 games on my iphone 😁 I think this just speaks to how good certain game systems were gba snes etc there is a market for that if emulation was better handled .

Was hoping for a Golden Axe anime with strong adult themes😢

I liked stitch the second I saw it in the showcase, as I was looking for a puzzle game like this for a long while, and it does not disappoint so far. I will say I absolutely HATE this silksong purgatory we're in rn. On one hand, people are tuning in to more and more presentations, but on the other hand, they're going in expecting silksong, being disappointed, then crapping on/overlooking the games that are there. I just want to watch game presentations in peace again after not only the era of Smash Bros Ultimate DLC, but also Hollow Knight: Silksong

Cant wait for valley peaks to come out. I made the frog models for it :)

Golden Axe as a comedy sounds good only because my only interaction with the franchise was on some megadrive collection and with Gillus being a character on sonic for hire

A playstation overlay is definitely not what I expected, I assumed they would have made their own pc app that would detect you playing a playstation game. An app could have also been used for updating dualsenses and the potential PC compatible PSVR2 but hey maybe fown the road who knows.

Just think if just half the games out become live service. How many can people realistically have at once ?

[@leonkennedy1508]

That's so wild. I had no idea and I was playing Golden Axe 2 last night

We haven't had a good indie world in a long while

[@CTKix]

If you look at the indie showcase numbers, flip it sideways, it looks like everyone gave it "the finger".

[@FloppyDiskMaster]

I wonder if Howard Warshaw was involved at all with Yars Rising

[@deltamaxxhomevideo]

Maybe I’m biased, but that ∆ emulator looks promising.

[@ainp777]

Can someone help me can’t find the application?
