Good Morning CoinDroppers!
We're coming at you with another three man podcast today with Tim and Mike both joining me on the show. Get ready for some chaos! Today we're talking about some of the best news from Microsoft in recent memory, the return of a beloved physics engine that dominated the PS3 and Xbox 360 era, and analysts say new games should cost HOW MUCH?! All this and more so kick back and enjoy the show.
Xbox Developer Direct: Ninja Gaiden 4 & 2 Black Remaster
Xbox recently held a Developer Direct where they announced Ninja Gaiden 4 and a Remaster of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black that is available now! Xbox has announced a new approach to funding games by not requiring that they only release on Xbox. This is good news for the industry because it means more games which is always good and with Ninja Gaiden 4 in the works SOLEY because of Microsoft funding I'd say this is the best decision they've made in two generations of hardware.
The Return of the HAVOK Physics Engine
In the PS3 and Xbox 360 days HAVOK was the go to engine for a vast majority of games. It's real world destruction physics made games like Battlefield Bad Company 1 and 2 a possibility along with a laundry list of other games. While other engines have come and been able to achieve most of what HAVOK once could they've returned to show their newest tech demo of their amazing engine as a plugin for UE5. I'm stoked and cannot wait to see this amazing engine back at work in games in the future.
They want HOW MUCH for New Games?!
A recent report suggests that analysts think games are too cheap. Far to cheap and it's insane how much they feel new games would cost. Hear our conversation and our thoughts on the topic. If they have their way gaming will become a luxury only the wealthy could afford. (bit of hyperbole)
