I guess they felt videogames didn’t look quite enough like soap operas or instagram “models”.
Hmm, I thought this was more common, is it not used in the states or something? Not seeing it anywhere near as much as I was expecting to in this thread. Far as I know this is the standard everyone uses, but I guess not “everyone” everyone.
Oh man, there is a record for that? Pawsitraction would have won that if they were still alive. Friends cat, had 7 beans on 3 of their paws and 9 on the other. Ah wells, probably for the best, would have gotten in the way of sitting quietly and cuddling, which is all them and their owner wanted in life.
A console version of a game doesn’t exist until it’s finalized into that format… all major games are made on PC. But the dev version of the game isn’t really a PC version of the game yet, it’s just a version that runs on “this PC”. The PC version has to run on as many PCs as possible for it to get released. That is what takes the time.
Yeah, and to help explain, all games have a version that for sure works on a handful of PCs. No guarantee it would run on “your system”. That is what takes so long for pc ports of console games. Not getting them to work on the devs pcs, getting them to work on as many pcs as possible across the world.
I mean, even just assumption based on the fact that it was the case every previous time is kind of enough.
But the main reason PC ports come out after console is, tuning for a variety of hardware. PCs are millions of different things. Consoles are like 5 things. Tuning for them is much quicker.
The more complex a game is, the longer the gap between it being ready for release on consoles and it being ready for release on literally anything between the minimum requirements they are willing to target and the highest end hardware currently available plus an attempt to future proof it for stuff that doesn’t exist yet.
The exact timeframe can come down to an exclusivity deal, but the time isn’t wasted.
He’ll have to ask @grok what that title means…
They probably thought since it’s nowhere near the level of some games that were allowed to go without the tag, they probably didn’t need to worry about it.
Yeah, that’s what I figured. When stuff isn’t as common as you expect on the internet, it probably doesn’t happen in the states.
