Epic just won their antitrust lawsuit against Google
https://apnews.com/article/google-epic-games-antitrust-trial-android-app-store-dd6b26be7447b5ff8cc0d20a4d01b6b4

quote:

Three years after Fortnite-maker Epic Games sued Apple and Google for allegedly running illegal app store monopolies, Epic has a win. The jury in Epic v. Google has just delivered its verdict — and it found that Google turned its Google Play app store and Google Play Billing service into an illegal monopoly.

After just a few hours of deliberation, the jury unanimously answered yes to every question put before them — that Google has monopoly power in the Android app distribution markets and in-app billing services markets, that Google did anticompetitive things in those markets, and that Epic was injured by that behavior. They decided Google has an illegal tie between its Google Play app store and its Google Play Billing payment services, too, and that its distribution agreement, Project Hug deals with game developers and deals with OEMs were all anticompetitive.

Which has some potentially huge ramifications for what can get put on the Play store.

https://segabits.com/blog/2023/12/11/jet-set-radio-and-crazy-taxi-sequels-likely-super-game-releases-based-on-sega-website-updates/

quote:

Based on revised recruitment pages, posted on ResetEra by SEGAbits community members Dooble and Suzuki Yu, it appears that the upcoming Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi games revealed at the Game Awards will fall under SEGA’s Super Game initiative. SEGA’s division 3 is the online division, which through interviews has been said to focus on the Super Game releases. Jet Set Radio’s staff was moved from division 4, the mobile division, to division 3. Division 3 has been confirmed through interviews to be focused on GaaS (Games as a Service) and currently handles Phantasy Star Online 2. This would mean that both titles are likely to be online and potentially online only, much like PSO2. They would also be high budget triple-A releases.

This would align with SEGA’s decision to send announcement postcards to Twitch streamers, who are more likely to give GaaS titles attention, rather than fan sites like SEGAbits who are more aligned with traditional games and account for a majority of the Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio fanbase.

Why can't you be normal, Sega

Sega has been talking for a couple years about a Super Game that's gonna sell a whole lot and be real cool

And that's about it

People are worried it's gonna be some kinda metaverse nonsense, but I don't see how the 2D Shinobi game could be that.

Even if the companies in question suck, they do, it's still inherently a good thing that they've set a precedent against anti-monopoly practices.

the lack of marketability is what really killed it; "criminals perform high stakes robberies for 80s/90s merch" is a tedious idea for a screenplay, much less an entire video game, and every character they showcased had all the flavor of vat grown hamburger

the world didn't need another extraction shooter, especially by 2023, but you might've at least been able to make it to launch if you leaned more into a cartoonish vibe and went really all out with the designs instead of, like, "ballerina girl with leto joker tattoos"

Steve Yun posted:

Tunic is very very much a “what if we made an isometric dark souls”

If you die you lose money and then have to collect your corpse to recover the money. Not all your money, just 20 coins at a time

Rest stops respawn monsters

Potions refill at rest stops. I was confused by this because I thought surely healing potions would work like most other games so I hoarded them. But the middle of the game was punishingly hard and when I realized you get free refills it became more manageable

Stamina bar

Lock on

Nothing is explained clearly and you have to study descriptions carefully

*****

Not nearly as hard as a Dark Souls once you figure out healing potions refill for free

So far the only thing I’m really annoyed by is the stamina bar

Its basically Zelda Dark Souls, yeah, except follow the golden path

My pitch for a Spider-Man game would be dramatically smaller in scope. Instead of trying to cover all of NYC, take a note from Yakuza and have it cover one section of one neighborhood.

The entire game takes places in a five block by five block space.

Also Mr. Libido is there.

Spidey traverses too fast for a small map. You'd get halfway accelerated and already hit a wall. A tighter map would need something more like a Daredevil Hell's Kitchen simulator.

The graphics would be something else.

The recently released ones are literally the same as the ps3version, only worse somehow.

PS2 emulation is very good now, however.
