Rise of the Ronin слили на торренты в день выхода на ПК

Rise of the Ronin, developed by Team Ninja, was released on March 11 and quickly appeared on torrent sites due to a lack of anti-piracy measures. The game is set in Japan in 1863 during the Tokugawa shogunate, allowing players to experience the life of a ronin in a conflict-ridden environment. Early feedback on the PC port has been negative, with reports of poor optimization, bugs, and unstable performance, leading many players to recommend waiting for patches before playing.

Rise of the Ronin review

Rise of the Ronin, an action RPG set in the Edo period developed by Team Ninja, is now available on PC for £40 after its successful launch on PS5. Players have reported performance issues such as fluctuating frame rates and slow-motion movement, particularly in crowded areas, which detracts from the gameplay experience. The game features layered combat mechanics and a narrative focused on the final days of the Shogunate, where players rid villages of bandits and develop connections with NPCs. Despite initial smooth gameplay, performance deteriorated during missions, leading to inconsistent experiences. While some players have enjoyed smooth gameplay, many have faced optimization issues, raising concerns about the game's overall quality and the effectiveness of an upcoming patch from Koei Tecmo to address these problems.

Rise of the Ronin is another crappy PC port, performance patch coming ‘soon’

Rise of the Ronin was released on Steam a year after its PlayStation 5 launch, but players are experiencing significant performance issues, including stuttering, low frame rates, crashes, and input delays. Koei Tecmo is investigating these problems and developing a patch. The game has received a "mixed" rating on Steam, with only 44% of user reviews being positive. Many users express disappointment with the game's graphical quality, and while some report satisfactory experiences, frustrations are prevalent. Koei Tecmo acknowledged issues with FPS drops and model rendering when using the Ultra graphics preset and suggested lowering the graphics settings and FPS limit as a temporary solution.

I did not expect the most promising turn-based tactics game of Steam Next Fest to star the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but here we are

TMNT: Tactical Takedown is a new turn-based tactics game featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, showcased during the Steam Next Fest. The game presents battles against the Foot Clan in a board game-like format on a dynamic battlefield grid, where players allocate action points and utilize various abilities. Each turtle has unique gameplay styles, but the demo reveals balance issues, particularly with Michelangelo being more challenging than Leonardo and Donatello. Some ability tooltips can be misleading, affecting gameplay clarity. The game features a one-versus-many setup against simplistic AI, allowing for strategic maneuvers. The demo lasts about an hour and is currently available for free until March 3, after which it will be removed from the store. The release date is marked as "TBA."

The game's early inclusion in PlayStation Plus may indicate poor sales, but it is still worth playing.

Xbox announces ‘a generative AI model for gameplay ideation’ called Muse, but don’t get too excited: Machines aren’t about to make games for you just yet

Microsoft announced its latest generative AI model, Muse, developed in collaboration with Microsoft Research and Ninja Theory. Muse is described as a "world and human action model (WHAM)" trained on Ninja Theory's Bleeding Edge. Microsoft aims to enhance the gaming experience by using AI to enrich player engagement and support game developers' creative processes. The company emphasizes that AI is intended to empower human creativity rather than replace it. A report in Nature provides insights into Muse's technical aspects, highlighting the importance of human agency in the creative process and identifying key capabilities for AI development. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella envisions AI's capabilities extending to interactive environments like video games. However, some experts, like Dr. Michael Cook, caution against overhyping Muse, noting that the research focuses more on human interaction with AI tools than on generating gameplay. Despite reservations, Cook acknowledges AI's potential as a design tool. Microsoft has promised further announcements on how AI will enhance experiences for game creators and players. Muse will debut in Copilot Labs, signaling new immersive AI gaming experiences.
