Yep, this is how I remember it too. My first Final Fantasy, like a lot of people, was FF7, so FF9's medieval fantasy setting was fresh and exciting.

There are a couple of Canadian directors who can go HUGE with this

Today I asked ChatGPT how I can set input params on a blend space through motion matching / pose searching in UE5.
"There's no way to do that, here's 5 alternative approaches."
"I checked the engine code, there's actually a really easy way to do that."
"You're correct."

Misinformation machine.

Crimson Skies! I miss FASA a lot.

"Speak friend and enter." Not even Tolkien could do it.

We did in Quebec, where I got my BEng in Software.

"I don't do politics" = "I do politics but they're unpopular so I pretend like it's an accident."

You think some patches can make the experience any better? Debating playing it now or waiting.

I spent several years working at Eidos MTL, and it has had some truly talented people come and go. Unfortunately due to the failures of management, their games always get screwed over in some way; whether from money men interfering with the creative process, or various failures from marketing. Sad.

It's even worse for Epic because all of those AAA Unreal Engine licensees could be paying them a 30% cut if Fortnite wasn't a black hole in the market.

Critically analyzing what's in front of you and projecting/imagining a future described by a team are the only prerequisites to reviewing any of this stuff and if you can't do it you are worse than worthless: you are actively damaging and should either rubber stamp everything or get out of the way.

Hey, artists of the games industry: if a programmer on your team hooks up the AI slop filter, you have full permission to open up the code and type random garbage. It doesn't even have to compile. It's only fair 💪🏻

Shitting, shutting, what's the difference?

Pretty interesting that in the era of "maximizing shareholder value" I'm seeing nothing but products failing, studios shitting down, and industries crashing. Or am I crazy? 🤔

I'm afraid you have the genetic defect known as "taste"

Really excited about the future of game graphics!

At a fundamental level, Copilot's designers misunderstand why we play games.

Games aren't meant to be endlessly optimized. They're an ongoing conversation between player and game. A third-party telling you the "right" way to do things undermines the entire point of play.

Hey all!

As of today I'm no longer at WB and looking for a new role in the games industry.

My goal is, and always has been, to make cool games with cool people.

They could have saved Scarlet Johansson for this moment, but no

I think everyone in this thread knows what frames of reference are, yes.

Asha, you can prove your commitment by taking sprint out of Halo.

Freya is asking a philosophical question, and Tom gave an appropriate answer.

I'm saving up for the Shadowrun and Mech Assault IPs if anyone wants to go halfsies.

I can't tell who is being demoted in this situation, the Xbox execs for the failing games business or the AI exec for the failing AI business.

I fear for Bungie and Haven tbh. Dark times.

WTF Noooooooo
