Google Is Expected To Reveal Game Streaming Service At GDC In March
|
Google has sent out invites to this year's Game Developers Conference (GDC) press event, where the company is expected to unveil a new game streaming product. ExtremeTech reports: There have been rumors about a Google game stream product or service for several years. Initially, leaks pointed to a hardware platform called Yeti that would stream games to a connected display. In late 2018, Google rolled out a game streaming test called Project Stream. To publicize the demo, it worked with Ubisoft to give everyone free access to the new Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Google wrapped up Project ...

Denuvo 5.6, Used in Both Metro Exodus and Far Cry New Dawn, Cracked in Five Days; UWP for Crackdown 3 Bypassed
|
New game releases with newly-revamped Denuvo protection, and new cracked versions of those games - all in less than five days after release. For now, only Metro Exodus is cracked, though the fact that Far Cry New Dawn makes use of the same version does little to inspire confidence in its continued resistance. The tale is becoming older and older, and the question in most anyone's mind is whether there is actually any financial incentive for developers/publishers to go after Denuvo's protections against cheaper option, because it seems that Denuvo is failing to guarantee even that brief time-window that is always brought about when it comes to new game releases. Most Denuvo-protected games have been cracked in less than a week after release, and things haven't been improving for some time now. Whether or not it makes sense to keep a team of software engineers working on such a product is also a question that would be well-posed to Denuvo. But not only Denuvo and its DRM solutions are falling short, since ...

Dreams will finally launch this Spring on PS4 for $30—in "limited early access"
|
Enlarge / This Spring, Media Molecule's latest "play, create, share" game could be yours... once we figure out what they mean by "limited early access." (credit: Media Molecule) Dreams, the first major PS4 exclusive from longtime PlayStation developer Media Molecule, is finally almost here. But if you think its protracted development cycle is anywhere near over, think again. PlayStation Blog has the news today: starting "this Spring," gamers will be able to buy the latest "play, create, share" title from the makers of LittleBigPlanet for $29.99 ($39.99CDN in Canada, €29.99 in Europe). But there's a catch: this version of the game will be given a loud "early access" label, a rarity on the PlayStation Store. "If you participated in the [closed] beta and felt like Dreams wasn't fully featured enough for you yet, or you wanted more Media Molecule game content, then Early Access might not be for you," Media Molecule director Siobhan Reddy wrote on Wednesday. The sales pitch seems targeted at excited content ...

Выпутаться из сети: подросткам-геймерам на Алтае помогают вернуться в реальность
|
Психологические группы для детей, склонных к компьютерной зависимости, работают в Краевом кризисном центре для мужчин. Об этом Amic.ru сообщила заместитель директора центра Елена Васильева. Эксперт отмечает, что сейчас проблема патологического использования детьми компьютера и интернета очень актуальна. Большинство подростков проводят основную часть своего свободного времени, играя в компьютерные игры, общаясь в чатах, форумах и социальных сетях. Технологическая зависимость приводит к тому, что у ребенка нарушается адаптация в обществе, теряется реальное общение со сверстниками и взрослым окружением. Зависимый подросток не в состоянии учиться, выполнять обязанности по дому, ухаживать за собой, выстраивать взаимоотношения. В Кризисном центре считают, что решить проблему можно благодаря системе профилактических мероприятий. Одним из методов реабилитации могут стать занятие в группе "Геймеры в сети реальности". Помощь психологов могут получить дети в возрасте 12-14 лет, которые много времени проводят за ...

How did Yoshi's Island music end up in an official US gov't Web game?
|
Enlarge / A shot from the EPA's Recycle City Challenge. Not shown: The Yoshi's Island DS music that played in the background of the game. (credit: EPA.gov) A flash game available on the Environmental Protection Agency website since at least early 2017 made surprising use of copyrighted music from Nintendo's 2006 game Yoshi's Island DS. Recycle City Challenge is an extremely simple educational Flash game that asks players to answer basic questions about how to reduce waste and energy use. But yesterday, fan site Nintendo Soup was among the first to publicly notice that the Web game used a looping version of Yoshi's Island DS' "Underground" theme in the background. The music, which played in a version of Recycle City Challenge accessed by Ars as recently as this morning, has since been removed from the live version on the EPA's website. You can still hear it in this Internet Archive copy of the site, though, and compare that directly to the same song on the Yoshi's Island DS soundtrack. Perhaps not ...
