    Nintendo Nintendo is acquiring Shiver Entertainment, Switch porting studio

    It is a very small acquisition, probably less than 30 employees if we go by the usual websites. But it does give us an idea of what Nintendo thinks it needs to grow further and it is no surprise that it's 3rd party focused. Considering their size and they it was Embracer who was selling, I'm...

    Nintendo Nintendo is acquiring Shiver Entertainment, Switch porting studio

    Shiver has a lot of support work as well ports of Switch games(Mortal Kombat, Hogwarts Legacy, etc...) My read on this is that they'll be helping or even porting select games for Nintendo on Switch 2. It's not uncommon for Nintendo to publish ports/market on certain third party games on their...

    News Windows Central: 'In addition to Project Mara, Ninja Theory's next game already greenlit. There are no plans whatsoever to close the studio' 🥓🧂🧂

    A few years ago I was already almost there, but the pandemic causing games to get delayed in a public manner for X months(sometimes by up to a year) and this is where I'm at. Achieved Gaming Nirvana for real. Honestly, I would not be surprised if certain studios that were not able to...

    News Windows Central: 'In addition to Project Mara, Ninja Theory's next game already greenlit. There are no plans whatsoever to close the studio' 🥓🧂🧂

    I mean Jez's hopium is understandable, especially considering recent happenings at xbox. But while having a new project get greenlit past the very conceptual phase is just an argument against layoffs/shutdown, it's not really a huge protection against it. Like other have mentioned in the past...

    News #1 in Japan, #1 in UK, #1 in Germany, #2 in France, #6 in US (Assassin's Creed Shadows on Amazon's PS5 Best Sellers List)

    If Shadows is about the same as the last few AC games, it should comfortably be the #2 selling modern AC over Odyssey. It's possible it could beat Valhalla but it's not guaranteed. Viking TV shows in the years prior really boosted interest in the setting + pandemic boost in 2020 were strong...

    Discussion PC appears to be the most popular platform for Tekken 8

    Yes, the reddit post where they take the data goes into their methology: A one day snapshot. Correct. The OG reddit post is really about winrate/ladder distribution in ranked play. It's data for the ranked fans of the game, people love graphs and shit. While that is true, they're probably...

    News #1 in Japan, #1 in UK, #1 in Germany, #2 in France, #6 in US (Assassin's Creed Shadows on Amazon's PS5 Best Sellers List)

    Honestly, all this talk due to the drama is pretty pointless. Where it is placed on the rankings for stores is relative to what's there. Folks could save themselves the brainpower and wait for when the game launches and we get positions/estimates(with commentary) about the 1st week/1st month...

    Discussion PC appears to be the most popular platform for Tekken 8

    Gotta read past the header. Ranked play* is more active on PC which is where a lot of "serious" players are. Consoles make has a large chunk of casuals who buy the game to just fuck around and play the campaign for games like Tekken and MK. You also have to pay for online on consoles. I do...

    The amount of people who play competitively in any game of any kind are a VERY small minority, they're but a drop in the player base.

    Discussion PC appears to be the most popular platform for Tekken 8

    This is not surprising, PC in general has gotten more and more shares of fighting games with crossplay being the default and the input delay usually being the best on PC. There's also costume mods. Anyone who's a super sweaty is more likely to play on PC and play ranked. There's some metholody...

    Looking at negative reviews, seems to be a greater than usual number of people that have crashing issues. A bit unfortunate, but yeah the ports usually run well if they do run.

    News Ghost of Tsushima broke the Steam CCU record for any Sony SP PC game

    Lmao. Of course they're not waiting for port money, but it improves margins. Something Totoki and co. seemingly care about considering how they fired people because they're so poor, please understand 🙇‍♂️ That's years down the line though. Public companies have shareholders, it's always...

    News Ghost of Tsushima broke the Steam CCU record for any Sony SP PC game

    Most of the Destiny money is probably going back into funding Marathon and Bungie tbh. Nixxes upkeep of their like 55~(2022) employees cost very little in comparison. The bulk of the money the studio generates for SIE goes into funding other stuff. But yeah, I'm pretty sure that was plan when...

    News Ghost of Tsushima broke the Steam CCU record for any Sony SP PC game

    It's best to at least try to have some known data when it comes to an argument of how much GoT might or might not sell. Let us recall this official slide from an official presentation dating to Feb 2023. Here we see that Horizon Zero Dawn has sold 3.3m copies on Steam as of Feb 2023. It is...

    News Ghost of Tsushima broke the Steam CCU record for any Sony SP PC game

    That would've been a rather negligible presence(at least at launch prices) but yeah just the general vibes are off for the PC userbase when it comes to SIE. A real offender right now when it comes to possible CCU peaks is the the regional pricing for GoT in China(and others of course). Y'know...

He's been wrong quite often or incorrect on details in quite a lot of things. In general the reddit list is okay. But some insiders are more reliable or...
