But did he break the Rampage Arcade game?
I don't know. I am not that worried about Rampage, considering how common many of those cabinets are. The dude fucked up some rarer arcade games like Capcom's D&D. With that said, I am glad no one died or was injured, and the owner is already trying to rebuild.

Hope no-one was getting too excited over Stalker 2 😕


Developer GSC Game World has announced its game will have its own "metaverse" that players can inhabit as a "metahuman" - an NFT in the form of an NPC.

The game will use "blockchain technology to let the community own a piece of Stalker 2" as users register for in-game item drops "that will evolve into a new gaming feature built on top of Stalker 2".



GSC Game World is partnering with NFT platform DMarket on the new items.

The first of those drops will be an auction in January 2022 for players to become "the first-ever metahuman", a non-playable character rendered in high detail in the game world. It will likely use the developer's face-mapping technology.

"The idea of the related NFT is to give the right to recreate its owner's identity within the game through one of the NPCs," said GSC Game World CEO Evgeniy Grygorovych, as reported by The Verge.

"The person will need to come to our studio for a detailed scanning procedure and after that, we will have everything to make this person appear in the game world as one of the characters."

Other NFTs will be released in future beyond this "metahuman", though the company declined to specify what they may be beyond stating they won't influence gameplay.

GSC Game World is just the latest developer to explore NFTs, following the likes of Ubisoft, EA, and most recently Peter Molyneux.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl will be released in April 2022 on Xbox Series X/S and PC

So with this blockchain bs, is it possible to just buy the game at normal price (or later sale), and completely ignore all that crap while playing it like a normal game, preferably offline? Or is it a new form of “games as a service” which will require being “always online” to save progress and track these stupid things? Because well, that’s kinda what made the latest Hitman’s progression system suck ass.

I didn't care before and somehow I care less now. Which is kinda impressive, in a really bad way
I don't care that you don't care, which makes me care, because I think of myself as somewhat caring, so therefore, I have to be careful that I still care, and therefore say that I care that you don't care, lest I wind up in intensive care, and people catch me unaware, at which point I'd be caring a lot, and wonder why I didn't take care to care more originally. 0_0

I think it was a joke. :)

I think I've gone cross-eyed now.

No-one knows and they ain't saying. Only "it won't influence gameplay" which is about as handwavy as can be, and a common phrase used for the slow creep of microtransactions introduced into modern games too. Hitman's online weirdness is frustrating for sure, but even that wasn't based entirely off increasingly obvious crypto-bro pyramid scams with vastly disproportionate energy consumption to add to climate concerns.

Speaking of Peter Molyneux and NFTs, his upcoming pyramid scheme is starting off good.

I mean here's the thing, these kind of stuff are self fulfilling. So long as there are idiot out there to buy worthless NFT, the NFT aren't worthless. And, as we've seen in the last few weeks, there are a lot of idiots out there with money to burn. So the idiot who brough those 40 000 000 might just re sell them for 80 000 000 next week and he'll be the smart guy and the buyer will be the new idiot... until he sell them for 100 000 000 to some new idiots, and so on.

Well, yeah…not like they’re gonna exactly say it looks “just okay” or “like crap”.
I'm I'm sure the game is going to look good on PS4 even without the comparison. I would be be more concerned about gameplay and how it runs, then some minor missing small details.
