comedyblissoption posted:forcing users to code in a crippled dropdown gui-driven programming language instead of just text has always been extremely insulting agree. graphic programming is usefull only for simple stuff, when you need to do something actually complex, graphic programming gets way more complicated than simply text anyway companies can't recreate the magic of modding in a wallet garden enviroment, so is moot point whats better

Every session is its own thing and i dont have to worry about getting 150 more zombie leg shots to unlock Coach's alternate hat or whatever bullshit

I mostly think it's funny that they've been loving around with this Portal mode xp stuff when it doesn't even matter. I think Portal was doomed to begin with because of all these conflicting problems with it. 1. You want players to play in Portal but because you've created this progression system they won't want to play if they can't progress. 2. You allow the XP progression but inevitably players are only creating Portal modes to farm XP. 3. You add continually more complex XP restrictions to Portal until it's very difficult to progress as quickly as AOW 4. Woops, you've looped back around to #1 but just with extra steps They are destroyed by the progression obsession monster that they have created. If they wanted to do something truly innovative they would have had to completely remove levels, weapon mastery, everything. Even with battle passes to unlock cosmetics you're a bit screwed because you can't allow that in Portal either and you're back to the same problem. Modern systems of "player engagement" are simply incompatible with a side mode like Portal.

It reliably happens if only your legs are completely clipping through a solid object. If only your torso is clipping but your legs are free then you can get revived, so far as I have seen. The revive “spot” the game looks for to revive is probably in the waist, so that gets obscured.

Y'know whe you think about it it's a masterstoke of game design to introduce a mechanic where you can't hit poo poo or talk to anyone.

Is there any benefit to ADS a shotgun or is it meant to be pure hip fire? e: I've just learned you can slam fire the Model 37 and it takes a bayonet so I am happy as a hog right now. Reiley fucked around with this message at 11:00 on Jan 23, 2022 |

To spare everyone the latest Tom_Henderson video, the rumor is DICE is getting demoted to support studio, with Ripple Effect (the guys who built Portal) takes over as primary Battlefield devs going forward. The main reason being, most of the Frostbite experience is currently at Ripple Effect.

The main reason being, most of the Frostbite experience is currently at Ripple Effect. That's an odd way to word it. For the past few releases, DICE LA (now Ripple Effect) was mostly a support studio to DICE and then took over the DLC with DICE supporting. For 2042, Ripple Effect was a bit more autonomous as they didn't support DICE but added Portal to the game and they are continuing to work on that plus DLC. So... essentially this is the same as all past titles and no one is "demoting" DICE, so the isn't news. DICE also makes Frostbite, so most of the Frostbite experience is still there.

Experience doesn’t mean number of people currently building it, it’s how much knowledge of the engine the people currently employed have

Most of the people who made the Frostbite engine are no longer at DICE Other EA studios aren't too keen to use it but it was forced on a lot of devs since it's an EA owned engine so they don't have to pay licensing fees to a competitor. “Frostbite is like an in-house engine with all the problems that entails—it’s poorly documented, hacked together, and so on—with all the problems of an externally sourced engine.” jisforjosh fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Jan 26, 2022 |

Honestly handing Ripple Effect the keys to the series would be the best idea going forward, DICE Stockholm has suffered far too much brain drain even just from BFV to 2042 let alone if you go farther back, and it's getting obvious they either just aren't attracting the talent or management just doesn't care anymore to keep them around or is just so horrible there no one wants to stay. Maybe they'd get their poo poo together again eventually but until then, Battlefield would be better off with someone else.

Now we pass time until DICE becomes Ripple Effect Stockholm

Sounds good to me. The people that know frostbyte become "the engine team" and can focus on that role. It may even be good news for all of the frostbyte using games.

Hot Diggity! posted:Don't forget the most important part: all the free-to-play stuff he was talking about is pure speculation Yeah the whole free to play narrative came from a bad wording of an investor call where they mentioned Battlefield (the franchise) having a free to play element. I think it said "free to anchor". This could be anything from Portal or Hazard zone bring f2p all the way to the upcoming phone game.
