Basically this is a thread for those minor news articles that are interesting but not necessary big enough to have their own thread. We will be taking the bigger stories from these threads and making them into their own threads, Anons are welcome to do the same. We will NOT be heavily enforcing these threads, so please keep that in mind. Basically things like game announcements, live stream events, new gaming hardware, etc. should have their own threads while shit like NEW GUILTY GEAR DLC 3 "SLAYER" or something like that should be posted in this thread. While we won't ban anyone for doing the former, we encourage anons to use their best judgement when posting news content.

Let's have one of these! Super Robot Wars Y has been officially announced and it's coming all the way onto most current-gen consoles and PC. ""Never played SRW?"" Consider this your conscription notice. Grab SRW V, X, or 30! are all available on Steam, fully localized in English and perfect for rookies. If you're daring, the community has translated a wealth of classic entries for you to explore. ""Never watched anime about giant robots?"" Irrelevant. These games are custom-built to onboard any new recruit into the glorious world of giant mech battles. There’s a 99.999% chance you’ll find something that clicks, whether it’s hot-blooded pilots screaming in unison, sleek robot designs, absurdly cool attacks or your favorite character being thrown in the shed. ""What's that? you don't like Giant Robots?"" Fuck that! You’re playing anyway! Don’t worry you’ll learn to enjoy them. Resistance is futile. Robots are inevitable. You’ll thank us for it later when you’re knee-deep in tactical genius and over the top crossovers. Oh, and for the Iron Saga, Endless Frontier and Project X Zone enjoyers are also welcomed here!

We need a new videogame that shows how brutal and evil were the nazis during WW2. I am afraid nazis are turning now into le funny star wars bad guys, and that's actually something we should not allow. We need a newer game with brutal ethnic genocide inspired by the eastern front, where nazis just kill civilians, childrens, dogs, commit war crimes. We need a game about the heroic survival of stalingrad and leningrad, where after 3 years of complete total genocide civilians. Something like Mortal Kombat but as an FPS where nazis just go and kill old people, women, childrens, pets, until in 1944 the soviets can defeat the nazis in Kursh. Like complete gore, all social taboos shows. Like civilians being forced to eat dead people to survive. Childrens being killed by nazi bombs trying to escape in refugee trains. Something that trully shocks society by using a videogame and shows how trully evil were the nazis.

Why is this shit so popular? Why do they need so many games about it suddenly? Is there some huge cross section of people who boulder and gamers?

I've been struggling to make a thread like this because of how to express such a niche topic that gets zero attention. But here goes: Over the past few years, a certain game Genshit Impact blew up and changed the mobile market completely. A key factor to its success was not only that it was chinkshit BOTW but it was playable outside of muh wife's boyfriend's Switch for "free." Suddenly, the field went from disposable side games played by turd worlders to being taken seriously overnight. And with it came the copycats, and with that came the need to grow and grab more dollars free of Grapple and Gulag's clutches. Thus the PC clients and controller support rolled out. The advent of Unity and Unreal to Eastern devs, combined with chinks and gooks growing up with always online games and expanding in soft power, while the Nipponese gravitate increasingly towards portability, has resulted in a glut of titles that are available on both PC and phones (sometimes web). As more and more of them come out, some of them, in the spirit of Ross Freeman, convert themselves into packaged games you can purchase on retail. Some mobile devs capitalize off their success on phones to develop real hardcore games. Meanwhile, hardcore games have slowly adopted the same live service trappings of mobile titles, and handheld game ports are making more money than ever. <battle passes <microtransaction shops, lootboxes, and gachas <deckbuilding <wikis and metas <"gameplay loops" <limited time collabs and crossovers All the talk about normalfag gamers suddenly discovering indie games is BS as Palworld and Helldivers 2 were both live service games that happened to have the aesthetic of hardcore games. This development is what flash games and handheld titles were leading up to. My thesis is that games will eventually be designed for both mobile and PC from the ground up, due to the rise of the East in influence, and the future of gaming relies on the direction this development takes, for the better or worse. Ideally all games will start out free, replacing traditional demos, but there will be an option to buy the game outright or play it with microtransactions. Alternatively, hardcore games will be ported to ARM as we are starting to see over the years, with Crapple and Microshit making a huge push with ISA translation. Pros >devs essentially have more creative freedom >low budget and barrier of entry, means a return to the PS2 era of development >shift to developing for multiple resolutions which helps with preservation as upscaling and temporal aliasing become more popular; something I've seen that is interesting is that some mobile games are designed at a 1:1 ratio so they can adapt to any screen >smaller gaymen devices are kewl
