Bushnell's story of the game play being too complicated for the public is still the one most often repeated, but as former Atari employee Jerry Jessop told The New York Times about Computer Space, "The game play was horrible. While the announcement may sound ho-hum to outsiders, anyone in Europe with a vested interest in classic gaming will appreciate what the toggle affords. But for much of the '80s and '90s, many TV video games, especially the ones made by the largely Japanese console industry, suffered in PAL because they were coded specifically for NTSC standards.
In order to port them to PAL, developers generally didn't go back and reconfigure all of the timings, especially in the case of early 3D games.
Instead, their internal clock speeds were often slowed down to This meant both slower gameplay than originally coded and slower playback of music and sound effects. These also often shipped with NTSC's pixel maximums in mind in such a way that they were squished to fit on PAL displays, as opposed to being optimized for them. Sure enough, last month's announcement of N64 games on Nintendo Switch Online put fear into European classic-gamer hearts. That region's reveal video included slightly slower timings of classic N64 games compared to videos posted by Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Japan, since they were emulating the original European retail releases.
Monday's announcement confirms that European players will get a 60 Hz option by default for every N64 game in the Nintendo Switch Online "Expansion Pack" collection, along with the option to access a game's original 50 Hz version if it launched with multi-language support.
Epic Games is considering launching an entertainment division focused on scripted video programming , The Information reported Monday, citing people familiar with the situation. From the report: The maker of hit videogame Fortnite is looking to diversify amid legal battles with Apple and Google that have hurt its ability to expand in the mobile market.
The division could develop projects including a feature film based on Fortnite, the people said. Such a film has already been discussed. Planning for the entertainment division follows the hiring in 's first two months of several executives from Lucasfilm, including Jason McGatlin, formerly vice president of Physical Production at Lucasfilm and now president of Special Projects at Epic.
McGatlin was executive producer of all the "Star Wars" films released under Disney. PETA Latino urges Ubisoft to replace this reprehensible minigame with one that doesn't glorify cruelty. If your idea of a good time is overclocking your computer while managing a small business, this is a game that does exactly that. My favorite feature has to be making your work computer in-game look exactly like your computer IRL. The game will even adjust the RGB lighting and wallpaper of your machine to match.
However, depending on your level of experience, the game can actually serve as a worthwhile educational tool for anyone who wants to learn more about PC Building Simulator has received its fair share of DLC, mostly in the form of different workshop environments that are entirely cosmetic.
However, it did get an esports expansion that's a little more narrative-focused and plays more like a timed puzzle game rather than a business simulation. It's also worth noting that the game regularly receives free updates that add new hardware to the already massive roster of cases, CPUs, GPUs, and other bits and bobs. There are really only two things this game doesn't simulate: misplacing that last thumbscrew and getting thermal paste on absolutely everything.
Speaking to The Verge , representatives for Microsoft confirmed that Xbox cloud gaming now runs entirely on Xbox Series X hardware , wrapping up a backend upgrade that quietly kicked off over the summer. Kotaku reports: So, what's that mean? For one, the Xbox Series X can output games in 4K resolution. Though cloud gaming currently streams games at 60 frames per second, the service only outputs games at a resolution of p.
Moving the whole operation to an Xbox Series X framework could theoretically bring that in line with what's available on Microsoft's highest-end model. But the switch could also open up access to games that are otherwise inaccessible to gamers gated out of next-gen hardware. Obviously, it's still tough as hell to get your hands on an Xbox Series X these days and, to a lesser extent, its computationally scrawnier cousin, the Xbox Series S.
Don't expect it to get any easier any time soon. Just last week, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said as much. After Take-Two Interactive sent a legal letter to Github referencing a copyright infringement lawsuit against the people behind the popular re3 and reVC Grand Theft Auto fan projects, Github has now removed the repositories for a second time.
Take-Two has also demanded the removal of many project forks and wants Github to take action under its repeat infringer policy. Dated September 9, a week after the copyright lawsuit was filed it informs Github that legal action is underway and it has come to the company's attention that the contentious content and numerous 'fork' repositories continue to be made available on Github's website.
In common with the first DMCA notice, Github has responded by taking the project's repositories down. Given that the defendants in the case already stand accused of previously sending 'bad faith' counter-notices, it seems unlikely that they will follow up with another set of similar responses that will soon be under the scrutiny of the court.
Take-Two also follows up with a line that is becoming more and more popular in copyright infringement matters, one that references so-called 'repeat infringers. It states that "in appropriate circumstances and in its sole discretion, [Github will] disable and terminate the accounts of users who may infringe upon the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of GitHub or others.
While Github appears to have complied in many cases, there are two notable exceptions. The former previously informed TorrentFreak that he believed Take-Two's infringement claims to be incorrect. At the time of writing, both repos are still online. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Motherboard: The U.
Someone has hacked the page and, for the past two days, done nothing but stream Age of Empires. The first stream went on for four hours.
The destroyer class warship then streamed Age of Empires for four hours under the headline "Hahahahaha. Whoever is playing sucks, because they never make it past the Stone Age. As of this writing, the six videos are still up and watchable. As spotted by Kotaku, Sony has decided to discontinue credit card and PayPal payment options for both the PS3 and the PS Vita on October 27th, , making it frustratingly difficult to use these stores.
From the report: To actually buy video games on your video game device, you will need to go to a secondary location and purchase a physical gift card, which you can then use to purchase video games. Alternatively you can use the awkward wallet system to add funds via Sony's website, or by adding funds on your PS4 or PS5, and then spending them on the PS3 or Vita.
Either way, this is extremely silly. Sony's complete lack of interest in games preservation, and for keeping games accessible to the people who bought the systems they run on, is deeply infuriating. The games industry has a short memory, made shorter by a constant focus on developing tech, and even shorter again by publishers with no interest in keeping their systems running.
I've written before about the importance of libraries in game preservation, and I will take Sony's fuckery as an opportunity to get on my soapbox again. A Bloomberg report claiming 11 game developers have access to Nintendo Switch 4K development kits is sparking confusion about the existence of the rumored Nintendo Switch Pro. Axios: Bloomberg published a story yesterday in which it says that employees at the game companies, including Zynga, claim to have the dev kits.
That system wouldn't be out until at least late next year, Bloomberg reports. From a report: "I think it's probably too isolated to talk about it as just a chip problem," he said.
And I think regretfully it's going to be with us for months and months, definitely through the end of this calendar year and into the next calendar year.
The thing that's most disappointing is just the fan disappointment," Spencer continued. We're working hard to bring them to market but it's going to be a challenge that we'll work through for quite a while. Amazon has been successful in nearly every industry it has entered, from books and grocery shopping to cloud computing and movie streaming.
So it has been puzzling to many that success in the lucrative video game business has eluded the tech giant. On Tuesday, Amazon gave producing its own video games another try.
From a report: After more than a year of delays, it released New World, an online multiplayer game in which players join factions, fight monsters, fight one another and colonize a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean.
After spending by some estimates hundreds of millions of dollars, neither of the other two big-budget games that Amazon announced it was producing in alongside New World exists today.
Some of its top gaming hires have departed over the years without putting out any notable titles. Last year, the company also removed another game from storefronts after a poor reception.
New World "has to be our breakthrough game -- there's no doubt about it," said Christoph Hartmann, the vice president of Amazon Games. Amazon has also forged ahead with a new gaming subscription service, Luna, and recently announced a new development studio in Montreal. Newsweek reports: Chris Pratt is in a celebratory mood, following the announcement that he's set to voice lead character Mario in an animated movie adaptation of the enduring video game Super Mario Bros.
The producers said that the actors were selected for their ability to capture the spirit of each of their characters, per Variety. Kotaku adds that future-voice-of-Mario Chris Pratt " isn't exactly instilling confidence right now. He will be involved in the new movie in some way, but at this point just as another avenue for Nintendo to troll longtime fans, it seems.
