Samuringa posted:It does make me wonder how long is the lifespan of the current gen, or even if there is a "current gen" anymore, since they're doing incremental upgrades now. I figure there won't be anything closer to a PS5 or Xbox Duo for at least 3 or 4 years. It's probably too far out to make a reasonable guess. One of the issues with trying to play futurist with the video game industry is that Sony and Microsoft are both big and stubborn enough to bulldog the market into some semblance of what they want it to be, while Nintendo will just do whatever the hell it wants. It's not a question of predictable evolution, but rather, what these specific players are thinking at any given point in time. By rights, I would've expected every video game platform to basically be Steam at this point, but no one's ready to sink the physical media market just yet.

There's still enough chunks of North America with lovely enough connections that you'd lose a small but still part of the market if you ditch physical entirely. Plus doesn't Canadian internet still have lovely monthly caps on data? The demo for the new Gran Turismo game is 43 gigs.

After seeing Dr. Strange, I'd like to see someone take a shot at making a video game using those twisty world mechanics.

Random thought: I wonder if Hellboy got into Injustice 2 over Spawn (or before Spawn) as a result of WB not being able to hammer out a deal with Todd McFarlane. He is a notorious self-styled business hardcase after all, so it wouldn't surprise me.BiggerBoat posted:After seeing Dr. Strange, I'd like to see someone take a shot at making a video game using those twisty world mechanics. You might like DmC: Devil May Cry. Its quality is largely contested among fans, but it does have a lot of neat moments with architecture shifting around and whatnot.

Yeah, it's a question of when the money you lose by ditching physical media is more than you gain by not having to spend the manufacturing cost anymore, plus the destruction of the second-hand market. There are a lot of recent practices that have been influenced, wholly or in part, by GameStop's used game policies.

OptimusShr posted:How in the gently caress is a demo 43 gigs? Keep in mind, PS4s shipped with a 500 gig hard drive (don't remember if the new upgraded ones have a bigger hard drive or not) and even if you own games on disc it has to install to play it so you don't save storage space, you just don't have to depend on bandwidth or connection stability to re-install games and you can resell them. That's like 10-12 games max you can switch between without spending an afternoon deleting and installing things, on a console released 4 years ago. And that's not including DLC.

I just read up on it and apparently WB already had Todd's blessing to put Spawn in their games as of MKX. I guess someone on the development team must've pushed for Hellboy or something!

Next episode looks like it'll be fun.

Spawn strikes me as a character who works in the Mortal Kombat universe, while Hellboy works for Injustice.

I haven't read a Spawn comic for a long time, but when I did, I remember stuff happening to him that would not be wildly out of place in a Mortal Kombat game, like when he ended a big crossover with Batman with a Batarang jutting out of his face.

I like that Miles is in it. It looks good, like visually. Hopefully we'll see more game play later, thought i'm expecting just Arkham style combat with prompts to interact with the world.

twistedmentat posted:Arkham style combat with prompts to interact with the world. One thing I really liked about Arkham Knight was how they beefed up the environmental attacks, though you had to be within melee range of the objects to activate them. From the gameplay footage we got of Spider-Man in that construction level we saw that you can trigger them from afar with webs.

I would imagine the boss fights against actual people are less like that.

I think the E3 footage showed Spidy sitting far away from goons and a prompt shows up to pull something down on them.
