Unreal Engine 5 is Epic’s bid for a monopoly on real time reality. Nanite, Lumen, and World Partition aren't graphics updates; they automated away the legacy friction of game dev. Epic didn't just build a better engine. They made every competing pipeline look painfully archaic.

A visual guide for Corsair Cove is now live. It focuses on vertical logistics, structural intent, and the way the simulation thinks.
The guide pairs a wide landscape portrait of the Primus Pirate with a clear breakdown of how ambition, elevation, and resource flow shape every decision. The full write up is available on my site.

The Intellectual Property Strategy Behind Japan’s High End Games
The contemporary Japanese game industry no longer treats individual titles as isolated creative works. It treats them as structural components within a larger media mix economy, where the value of a game is determined not only by its mechanics but by its ability to reinforce an existing intellectual property ecosystem. #IndieGames #GameReviews #Gaming #IndieDev #GameJournalism -

1666 Amsterdam advances on the strength of a prologue that delivers one of the most confident displays of game cinema in recent memory. The atmosphere is overwhelming, the staging immaculate, and the occult architecture fully realized. While early AI portrait placeholders sparked criticism, none of that material appears in the prologue itself. What remains is a striking opening that demands close attention as the project moves toward EA #IndieGames #GameReviews #Gaming #IndieDev #GameJournalism

#Mixtape < a giant abyss < #Dispatch
IGN scores are just a joke. They gave 9 to Dispatch, and 6 to #CrimsonDesert.
Sorry but their scores mean nothing, and are meant to create rage content around.

At least Google did the right thing: killing ai-driven sites like The Escapist or Videogamer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWyKQonO3uA
In other words, these don't appear on search result, so that's great. Now do something about YouTube AI Slop.

#MorganPark is the epitomy of #GameJournalism.
Apostate. Gullible. Meretricious. Ignorant.
Well, the fault is on #PCGamer side since they hired him to publish on their platform.
I hope they replace him with #AI soon.

Polygon alumni Maddy Myers and Zoë Hannah are launching a new gaming publication! Instant subscribe from me at the early bird rate which I think is still available until tomorrow. In this age where #GameJournalism is imploding and venerable outlets are being strip-mined and driven into the ground by huge companies for a quick buck, it's never been more important to support independent work like this.

I'm not someone who celebrates people being laid off.
I'm someone who celebrates pieces of shit being laid off.
I'm sure the good journalists among the bunch will be able to get a new job on media one way or another. The rest can put the fucking fries in the bag.

Really good #blog post from Alli 👏
"Gaming isn’t broken. The way people engage with it is, but that can change."
I'm glad I was able to witness the development of games from the 16-bit era onwards. But despite all the problems in today's industry, gaming has more to offer than ever before.

As I understand it, traditional journalistic coverage has lost a LOT of ground to streamed news/opinion outlets. I think this is irreversible, so gamecrater's closure, though sad, is not surprising.
https://www.thegamecrater.com/game-crater-is-shutting-down/
I don't think it'll be difficult for similar small teams who really are dedicated to bringing gamers fair reviews and balanced views on industry developments, to make a sustainable transition to a streaming format. BUT if they just go with Twitch (Amazon) or Youtube (Google) it may just be transferring the opinion-shaping power to those platforms which may be even more insidious!
I would look into something like PeerTube (https://joinpeertube.org) but that's just me. Anyone want to surface other good options?

Given that they are not a media super-outlet, would an error message like this mean a DDOS attack possibly?

Consolidation in the media industry isn't good because of the opinion-forming power media holds. It's happening in media which covers the games industry too.

@Doomed_Daniel Sorry Daniel. I'm not familiar enough with the actual historical events of the "gamergate" reference to understand what you're asking me (let alone answer it).
But my main take-away from the video, and the main reason for my original post, is that traditional journalism publications covering the games industry, *for whatever reason*, seem to be injecting stuff that is not game/gameplay related into their writings in order to change gamers into whatever it is they think we should be.

Okay I know this is a 6 month old video, but I just saw it and I now feel like removing all traditional publication type outlets from my sources of news. Anyone care to share one way or another?

Hi #fediverse! I thought I would #askfedi and my peoplemaking.games homies for reactions/recommendation to the RSS feed I put together for myself. I wanted it focused on games and gamedev news. Your thoughts would be very much appreciated!

"Game journalism and game crit is notorious for not being able to take criticism. Everything gets lumped together with gamergate. I can see why, but at the same time that very inclination gets leveraged against their victims too." -
