The "world's first" game or a new game coming soon! "Stardew Valley" update trailer
Sony believes there are still problems with cloud gaming
Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida warned that there are still technical problems with cloud gaming and that the technology is "very tricky."
In an interview with the Financial Times, he mentioned that Sony will be looking to stream PlayStation games using "various options" in the future. "I think the cloud itself is an amazing business model, but when it comes to gaming, the technical difficulty is high, and latency (the time it takes for an action to be typed on the controller to be reflected on the screen) is the biggest problem. So cloud gaming will face challenges, but we want to embrace them. ”
He also emphasized that running when there are fewer players is economically inefficient due to fluctuating loads on the game at different times of the day (for example, a large number of players logging in at the same time after hours), and conversely, a large number of players logging in at the same time can cause performance issues. Kenichiro Yoshida refers to these idle hours as "dark hours" and said, "The dark hours of cloud gaming have always been a problem for Microsoft and Google, but it makes sense that we can use that time for AI learning." ”
PlayStation has "aggressive plans" for the cloud gaming space, according to PlayStation boss Jim Ryan, who claims the details will be announced in the coming months.
PlayStation has been experimenting with cloud capabilities for more than a decade, and its PlayStation Now service (now incorporated into PS Plus) represents one of the early pioneers in the space. Cloud gaming currently represents only a small portion of the global gaming market, but is seen as potentially disruptive in the future.
Notably, regulators have been scrutinizing Microsoft's proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard because it could give Xbox an edge in emerging areas, and they worry that if the cloud dominates in the future, it could create a monopoly.
Remake of the Resident Evil series
Capcom has released a new survey asking players about their next Resident Evil game they would like to remake. The survey primarily asks players about Resident Evil's various social media channels and how much they interact with them, and concludes by asking players "if there are any other Resident Evil games they'd like to remake." ”
Over the past few years, Capcom has remastered Resident Evil 2, 3, 4, and these games have been warmly received by critics and fans, leading many to demand that other installments in the series also be remastered, including a large number of spin-offs from the series.
Although the remake is largely faithful to the original, some fans raised concerns after the release of Resident Evil 3 Remake, believing that some content in the new version of the game has changed. Resident Evil 4 Remake is also largely faithful to the original, although some parts have been simplified and some mechanics (such as quick time events) have been removed.
The Resident Evil series has been the cornerstone of Capcom's recent success, and in its most recent financial report, the company reported the record for the largest number of games sold in its history. This is thanks to the success of IPs like Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Devil May Cry. Street Fighter 6, released last week, is likely to continue this trend. Capcom's president recently said that the company aims to sell 10 million copies of Street Fighter 6, which would break the street fighter 5 franchise record of 7 million.
About the NS version of Mega Man EXE Collection
Masakazu Eguchi, producer of the Mega Man EXE Collection, spoke to 4Gamer about the origins of the project.
Q: First of all, can you tell us how the plans for the Mega Man EXE Collection came about?
Masakazu Eguchi: For a long time, we have been receiving requests from fans to port the Mega Man series. In addition, there are various departments within the company that have also proposed transplantation plans, which is why we decided to do so.
Q: When does development start?
Masakazu Eguchi: It's hard to say the exact time, but it was about two years ago.
Q: Two years ago it was supposed to be around the 20th anniversary of the series, right? I think there should have been more calls for transplantation at that time, and did they also have an impact on the realization of the project?
Masakazu Eguchi: Yes, of course. We already had a transplant plan within the company, but around that 20th anniversary, the voice of fans grew and played a role. When we announced the project, we received a great response.
