They did great with Metroid Dread, putting a new spin on an old classic.
I have some faith that they won’t just be rehashing an old formula and that this “Beyond” aspect will have some gameplay twists.
This trailer seems meant to reassure those of us who have been waiting decades for a true successor to Prime that “yes, in fact this is it”.
I expect we will see more trailers as it gets closer, teasing some of the new story and gameplay innovations once they are more polished.
Microsoft is confused.
It hurt itself in it’s confusion.
Some of this is just because some of these frameworks and technologies have been around for a while and they iterate frequently. I see a ton of Azure content that is obsolete after only a few years.
I’m not sure I’d want to be swapping my battery out like a propane tank. Not everyone would follow charging recommendations, etc.
Maybe they will save money because they don’t have to offer healthcare?
I remember it looked really good for a PS3 game, I think the physics of the sand was a tech demo for the PS3’s dedicated physics chip or something like that.
This is a good point, I’m more inclined to support a unionized company. Still… my understanding is that GM and Ford (and others) all circumvent unionization by manufacturing (to some extent) in Mexico. I guess it depends on the individual car. I’m supportive of Federal and State EV incentives that prioritize made in the US, unionized manufacturing.
Yeah, this is my dilemma. I have heard positive things about Ford and GM in regards to them making it easier to skip the dealership, so that at least addresses the convenience factor. Another factor in wanting to avoid the dealership is that I don’t trust their business model where they sell you a car that they want you to bring in regularly for maintenance. I’d rather buy from a company that doesn’t see vehicle service as a revenue opportunity. Does that apply to Tesla? I’m not sure, but I know that’s how the traditional dealership model works so it’s hard to trust those companies.
Replies to a thread with lots of well-thought out comments with some BS and doesn’t even elaborate.
You seem to be missing the point. Show me a car company that’s not screwing over the consumers and the workforce, and I’ll buy from them. Not every consumer has the luxury of maximizing altruism with their car purchase. At least those supposedly untrained employees are US citizens getting paid a US wage. Do you honestly think that things are better at the Mexican plants?
Maybe Honda and Toyota or Subaru? But they’ve been too busy sucking off the oil industry with their hydrogen push, and now their EV offerings can’t compete.
Cars and car companies suck. If I could lug all my sports shit around in an e-bike I would.
I imagine the conditions aren’t great at all these “American” car plants which are conveniently located in Mexico for maximum abuse of labor.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, there just needs to be alternatives in order for consumers to vote with their wallet on these issues.
For something like a car which is not optional for me, it’s either an ICE from a scummy car dealer with a scummy company behind them that uses questionable labor practices, or an EV from a scummy car dealer with a scummy company behind them that uses questionable labor practices, or an EV from a company with a scummy CEO that uses questionable labor practices. At least with a Tesla you can cut out some of the scumbags? I’d be interested in Rivian too if I could afford one but they start at 70k.
It seems like it would be a good move to have him step down.
I’m not sure they will though, I think the board is probably still stuck in the mindset that their company is valued highly because of Musk.
This probably is true for some people, which is why I hope he steps down.
Me, I’m waiting for the prices to come down (more than the recent price cuts) on the Model 3, or for a more affordable AWD EV with similar range to become available.
I order online from Amazon and Walmart too, it doesn’t mean I agree with their CEOs, board, or business practices. The shit those companies get away with is arguably worse than Musk’s right wing BS on X, with union busting and employees depending on benefits to survive.
If you’re able to make a statement and buy something else, great! I support that. My requirements for a vehicle are: full EV, AWD, 300+ mile range, final cost under 40k. The access to supercharging also seems nearly essential, but I’m willing to explore my options if they meet the other requirements. I also never want to buy from a scumbag car dealer again. That really doesn’t leave me any other options that I’m aware of.
If not, I guess I could stick it to Elon and just buy another ICE vehicle…
Replayed the Prime series a bunch, most recently the switch remake of Prime.
Great series, I didn’t like some of the dialog/cinematics of the third one but the gameplay was great.
Dread was really good, exceeded expectations. Final boss was hard I’m not sure I ever beat it.
Super Metroid was great but I’m not sure whether I ever beat Ridley.
I think I completed the remake though. Really hoping to see Prime 4 at some point, maybe on a new console.
It’s been nearly 10 years since you needed to develop with C# on Windows.
New versions of .NET have been cross platform with a free IDE since 2016.
If they called it cleanup mode, or guest mode, it would be more accurate.
Use this when you are on a shared device so that you don’t leave history or login sessions or mess with any sessions that the primary user has. That’s it.
If definitely seems dystopian, but hopefully this ends up helping some people who are quadriplegic.
One of the defining characteristics of Southwest is that they ONLY fly 737s (Boeing). That and their focus on domestic flights helps them offer good rates and low/non-existent fees. I guess their maintenance only has to focus on one plane. However, it seems like they got caught up in Boeing’s “737 MAX is the same plane” scam because they fly some of those too and I believe it affected their stock.
This is great for citizens!
I’m not sure they get bragging rights about a smooth site launch for a tax preparation application when most people don’t even have their W2s yet…
We’ll see whether this is another healthcare.gov when people actually try to use it, but this is a huge win for people who qualify.
This late in the Switch’s lifecycle, I’d argue that the existence of a new game as big as a Prime sequel is good to remind people of. Haven’t touched my Switch in a while, but will likely be picking it up again for Zelda and Prime.
