Finally: #Ubisoft delayed Assassin's Creed Shadows and openly admitted several interesting points:
— Delaying games on Steam is a bad strategy for commercial results — it's not getting them more money or more players, when you only release them in Ubisoft Connect and Epic Store
— Releasing unpolished games with mostly generic open worlds, like SW Outlaws and Avatar, is a guaranteed failure
— And also they rejected the service based core — the game will focus on a solid full experience and several worthy DLCs.
Nature is healing! 😁

Ubisoft gave up on Assassin's Creed Shadows — the game about Japan will not be shown on the Tokyo Game Show. It may be related to recent trailers where French company confused China and Japan.
Instead, there will be 90 minutes of Deaths Stranding 2 (and I'm not even joking).

And according to IGN, Space Marine 2 sales are so good, that Saber Interactive is hoping to make DLCs and probably a third installment for the series.
— It changed everything for the company! The game's budget was 2+ times lower than on Doom Eternal, for example, but the game already outperformed it... — Said Saber Interactive Chief Creative Officer Tim Willits.
Before that analytics said that it's the second best selling game in Europe this year (surpassed only by Helldivers 2).
Folks, imagine that we launch the Asset Store, focused on the Godot Engine.
— What would you like to see in it as a customer, as assets? (That can't be on a free built in system)
— What can you upload there? (As an asset creator)
⚠️ To highlight some limitations: it will be commercial and it will not be under the FOSS license to make it valuable and worthy for creators.

Somehow the #GodotEngine team managed to make a VR editor!
https://godotengine.org/article/godot-editor-horizon-store-early-access-release/ #VR #Godot4 #GameEngines
The Godot Editor is now available on the Horizon Store for Meta Quest 3 & Meta Quest Pro devices running Horizon OS version 69 or higher.
Prime World (MMO RPG) source code has been published on GitHub: https://github.com/Nival-Pub/Prime-World — it's allowed to learn from it or use components for non commercial purposes.
💡 Since it has been created by Nival in Russia, the description is also in Russian (so it may be a little tricky to learn by international audience).

Since I'm a big DAI fan, it's curious to see the gameplay overview (and not yet another unveiled truth about their game director):

Hear me out: we don't need faster computers, we need to be better in using our existing technologies!

It seems that #OpenAI is facing hard times: they just lost three more leads, including the CTO Mira Murati. Dozens of others left during the last year.
And people are questioning both — how or if will they become profitable and how they will overcome current AI limitations.

Meta Quest 3s — a cheaper $300 version of Quest 3 with worse lenses and displays. If you remember the blurry peripheral vision in Quest 2, this cheaper one has exactly the same issue.
But for me the biggest doubt is still content: Half-Life Alyx is the best game ever. I've played it in VR and it was an exceptional experience. But there are just no games worth bothering anymore.
What do you think? Will you buy it for $299? #VR #Meta
Tron Legacy is 100% fake but looks exceptionally believable at the same time. While way more grounded modern Disney movies don't...

One of the most famous gaming grandmas Shirley Curry decided to quit streaming career: games are not bringing her joy anymore!
Same feel, Mrs Curry! The only difference is that she's 88 and I'm 33.

Frostpunk 2 sales were lower than expected and 11 Bit Studios lost over 40% of its market value #Business #RTS #CityBuilder
Since it's a sequel, investors expected way higher initial sales and visibility, but media isn't interested in a hardcore City Builder. While true fans complained that FP2 is easier and system requirements are too high.
❄️ You can check out the game on Steam!
And you know the craziest part? They sold 350K copies during the first weekend. Their production costs are already covered. But investors wanted EVEN MORE.
AMD is testing the most impressive integrated graphics: 40 compute units and up to 96GB of memory (it can be allocated from RAM). Can be very handy for machine learning, but will also be amazing for gaming and working with 3D.
The most recent flagship iGPU was only carrying 16CU and 1024 shading processors. It was already capable enough to run modern games in 1080p.

The most insane movie in modern history, filmed by a music video director, was also the nearest point to FPS games movies ever reached:
