If 90% of games being brand new was the standard, we would need a horrifying amount of games every year and by now there’d prob be more games required than humans to make them
They’re saying that if 90% of all games that exist were new each year, the number of games that would have to release each year to achieve it would be exponentially increasing and therefore unsustainable. The facts are simple math.
If you have a beefy PC, check out Surreal 98! The end goal is to have VR support for UE1 games like Deus Ex or Unreal Tournament. It’s still in early access and will be for some time, but it’s already looking pretty good.
The ‘Revision’ is a good mod for a modern resolution and some other stuff. Free on Steam for those who bought the game itself, although ironically it didn’t work with that version for me, but worked with a pirated one.
Personally I disabled all the map modifications. But the original game scripts have some bugs that ‘Revision’ can fix.
also it’s easy to experiment with an early art medium
but once you figure out the good methods it takes way more time to perfect them & more resources to use them
you can see that perfectly mimicked within the bubble of minecraft building styles - people built entire villages overnight because all it took for them to be considered good was decent symmetry and style cohesion
nowadays if you want your minecraft build to be considered good - best arm yourself in patience as step one is catching up on all the building techniques created in the last 15 years. and once you know colour theory by heart, and can make a gradient in the blink of an eye you can probably make something people would look at and say “neat”
I dont think its meant as “90% of games that exist came out this year” and more of “90% of games that came out this year are not part of a preexisting series”. Its more a statement on final fantasy 27, fifa 2041 and call of duty ancient space warfare
At least Steam mandates AI disclosure so I can just ignore them all.
And if that fails, I can just limit myself to games developed before GenAI and still easily have enough peak games to last several lifetimes, even if I do nothing but play games.

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

You missed the joke. That was a quote from Deus Ex, the game depicted in the screenshot. 🙂
You’re right, I did! In my defense, it’s been 20+ years since I’ve played it. Maybe I should change that.

Wow, that sounds awesome. Will definitely check that out - thanks!

So?
Yeah.
Dont need facts. You can tell because of the numbers

Just wait for the ai slop games to hit steam

I greatly doubt the ‘90% new in 2010’ figure anyway, seeing as famously tons of shovelware existed in the early eighties already.
