Look it’s a hot topic but at the end of the day AI stuff is going to get devs through production WAY faster. This doesn’t mean final assets will be AI generated.
It just means less time and money is spent on prototyping and testing which means faster dev cycles.

A model of Valve's next Steam Controller was spotted in SteamVR's drivers, and it looks like it takes a lot of inspiration from the #SteamDeck:

Pretty CrAzY that innovation is just doing what is best for the user and not the business
We wrote on Saturday about how Meta is going all-out to meet the threat of Bluesky: wapo.st/3OrYxBj
Today they took another step— finally allowing users to set their default feeds to a chronological “following” feed.

This is why I read Cyberpunk, it’s more accurate.
I feel mislead by all dystopian literature. It's supposed to be a powerful authoritarian government that lords over a cowering population, and and we just need need a few brave acts of heroism to give the people the courage to rise up.
Instead it's just half the country being dumb and mean.

One of the weirder years for Game of the Year discussions. There’s not a CLEAR top 5 in my mind. Do you include the Elden Ring DLC?
Personally for me, in no order.
Shadow of the Erdtree
Astro Bot
Helldivers 2
Metaphor Refantazio
Deadlock (doesn’t count I know)

Metaphor ReFantazio went from being a game I had no clue was coming out to one of my favorites of the year.
Atlus figured out how to streamline the worst parts of JRPGs while keeping that grand storytelling scale.
It’s fuckin rad.

Western AAA studios need to be looking at replicating the successful formula of Japanese studios like Atlus and RGG.
- Iterate on a formula
- Reuse non-critical assets
- Keep teams “small”
- Focus on content over graphics
- Get games out quickly
- Repeat…

What were sales expectations for a game that didn't launch on Steam and was easily accessible through a subscription model?
The team revived an old IP through an award-winning spin-off that probably cost a dime compared to the other titles in the portfolio. What more can you ask?
