Mitä tunteita tämä herättää Nyymichanissa?

>Critically acclaimed creators of The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Wolfenstein, DOOM, Dishonored, Quake, Starfield and more join Team Xbox

>Today is a special day, as we welcome some of the most accomplished studios in the games industry to Xbox. We are thrilled to announce Microsoft has entered into an agreement to acquire ZeniMax Media, parent company of Bethesda Softworks.

>As one of the largest, most critically acclaimed, privately held game developers and publishers in the world, Bethesda is an incredibly talented group of 2,300 people worldwide who make up some of the most accomplished creative studios in our industry across Bethesda Softworks, Bethesda Game Studios, id Software, ZeniMax Online Studios, Arkane, MachineGames, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse Studios. These are the teams responsible for franchises like The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Wolfenstein, DOOM, Dishonored, Prey, Quake, Starfield and many more.

>Bethesda’s games have always had a special place on Xbox and in the hearts of millions of gamers around the world. Our teams have a close and storied history working together, from the amazing first DOOM, and its id Tech engine, innovating games on PCs to Bethesda bringing their first console game to the original Xbox, the groundbreaking The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Over the years I’ve had many deep conversations with the creative leaders at Bethesda on the future of gaming and we’ve long shared similar visions for the opportunities for creators and their games to reach more players in more ways.

>Just as they took the bold first steps to bring The Elder Scrolls franchise to the original Xbox, Bethesda were early supporters of Xbox Game Pass, bringing their games to new audiences across devices and have been actively investing in new gaming technology like cloud streaming of games. We will be adding Bethesda’s iconic franchises to Xbox Game Pass for console and PC. One of the things that has me most excited is seeing the roadmap with Bethesda’s future games, some announced and many unannounced, to Xbox console and PC including Starfield, the highly anticipated, new space epic currently in development by Bethesda Game Studios.

>Like us, Bethesda are passionate believers in building a diverse array of creative experiences, in exploring new game franchises, and in telling stories in bold ways. All of their great work will of course continue and grow and we look forward to empowering them with the resources and support of Microsoft to scale their creative visions to more players in new ways for you.

>All of our work, and the foundation of our relationship with you, starts with a commitment to deliver a breadth of amazing games to discover and play on Xbox. Over the last few weeks, we’ve been excited to share more detail on important elements of a plan we’ve been building towards for years. A plan that is the fulfilment of a promise, to you the Xbox player, to deliver the most performant, immersive and compatible next-generation gaming experiences, and the freedom to play blockbuster games with your friends, anytime, anywhere. Today is a landmark step in our journey together and I’m incredibly energized by what this step means for Xbox.

>Please join me in welcoming all of our friends at Bethesda to Team Xbox.

Aah nyt tulee spermaa.

Eli lanka jossa puhutaan tappelupeleistä. AP pelailee Ultra Street Fighteria(PC) ja Tekken Tag Tournamenttia (ps3)

Millaisen pelin tekisit jos sinulla olisi siihen kaikki tarpeelliset resurssit?

Olen miettinyt ideaa ensimmäisestä persoonasta kuvatusta tasoloikkapelistä. Liikkuminen olisi parkour-tyylistä kuten Mirror's Edgessä tai Dying Lightissa. Pelaaja voisi myös heittää ympäristöstä löytyviä esineitä kuten laatikoita ja palloja; tätä voisi hyödyntää esimerkiksi pulmanratkaisussa.
Pelin graafinen tyyli muistuttaisi 90-luvun tietokoneanimaatiota. Se tarkoittaisi nykymittapuulla yksinkertaisia 3D-malleja, joissa värikylläisyys olisi korkea ja jotka näyttäisivät muovisilta. Pelissä voitaisiin kuitenkin hyödyntää moderneja 3D-grafiikan renderöintitekniikoita kuten säteenseurantaa, HDR:ää ja parallax occlusion mappingia.

Upote liittyy vahvasti, se toimii hyvänä referenssinä tavoittelemastani graafisesta tyylistä. Tämän lisäksi pelien konseptitaide, ensirenderöidyt välinäytökset ja 3D-grafiikkaa hyödyntävät elokuvat samalta aikakaudelta ovat hyviä referenssejä.

Millainen peli tämä tulee olemaan huonoimmassa tapauksessa?

Mitä pelejä Nyymichan odottaa vuodelle 2020?

Mulla ainakin seuraavat:

Doom Eternal
Cyberpunk 2077

Näiden pelien julkaisusta tänä vuonna ei ole tarkempaa tietoa, mutta odotan myös:

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildin jatko-osa
Watch Dogs Legions

Ultima Online? En mainosta. Älkää ikinä menkö sille shardille. Kuolette sisältä. Ne vie teidän rahat ja sitte soittaa poliisille kun suututte niille ja lähetätte moottorisahapornoa. Vitun assburger autismus union.

Vakuuttuuko Nyymichan tästä tänään esitellystä PS5:lla pyörivästä Unreal Engine 5 -teknologiademosta?

>“Nanite virtualized micropolygon geometry frees artists to create as much geometric detail as the eye can see. Nanite virtualized geometry means that film-quality source art comprising hundreds of millions or billions of polygons can be imported directly into Unreal Engine—anything from ZBrush sculpts to photogrammetry scans to CAD data—and it just works. Nanite geometry is streamed and scaled in real time so there are no more polygon count budgets, polygon memory budgets, or draw count budgets; there is no need to bake details to normal maps or manually author LODs; and there is no loss in quality.

>Lumen is a fully dynamic global illumination solution that immediately reacts to scene and light changes. The system renders diffuse interreflection with infinite bounces and indirect specular reflections in huge, detailed environments, at scales ranging from kilometers to millimeters. Artists and designers can create more dynamic scenes using Lumen, for example, changing the sun angle for time of day, turning on a flashlight, or blowing a hole in the ceiling, and indirect lighting will adapt accordingly. Lumen erases the need to wait for lightmap bakes to finish and to author light map UVs—a huge time savings when an artist can move a light inside the Unreal Editor and lighting looks the same as when the game is run on console.”

>While Unreal Engine 4.25 already supports PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, Epoc Games states they are “working closely with console manufacturers and dozens of game developers and publishers using Unreal Engine 4 to build next-gen games.” Unreal Engine 5 will also support current-generation consoles, Windows PC, Mac, Android, and iOS.
