[21 June 2021] Sony shows Darksydephil as a case study of game design - Literally using DSP as the lowest common denominator to idiot-proof their games

I wish I was making this shit up. Reality really is starting to slip.

Lmao DSP has taught game devs how to to cater to literal retards.

This is the same shit they used for OG vanilla World of Warcraft. This isn't anything new or groundbreaking it's about rewarding the player with progression.

It's so things don't set into a grind and all you're doing is having repetition until you're allowed to experience the brand new thing.

DSP is one level below retarded though. You can have a game with big-ass neon signs saying what to do and where to go and DSP will STILL complain about SOMETHING.

This doesn't surprise me though. Sony, as a video game company, have been making assinine decisions that cause them to keep failing, and the worst part is that they learn the wrong fucking lessons from it. If this is the kind of audience they want to cater to, then let them. The sooner this company goes under, the better.

?

This is what confused me too. I thought this was more recent. But the GCD upload is from June 17th of this year. So I guess this was somehow not known or published for three years.

no need for a thread about this

I think my favorite part of this is DSP thinking he has some sort of lawsuit here he can win.

Please Santa, I know lately I've been asking for a lot of shitshows to come to full fruition so I can laugh, but I will be the bestboi for the rest of my life if you get DSP to try to sue Sony over this and they bend him over backwards and proceed to ass fuck him into a second bankruptcy.

The game devs blurred DSP's face out. Because of shame or infamy? Who knows.

 

[Personal Jesus]

I thought this was a thread about GDC talking about why making games accessible for special people is important and they were using DSP as a example. Disappointed.

 

[A Witty Name]

Phil already said something about it. At most we'll probably get a gin tweet tonight and that will be that.

 

[Fetish Roulette]

LMAO. If Sony were actually to create a game based around DSP's ability to play it, it would have an Internet browser in the corner of the screen that only links to a detailed walkthrough of the game. And because DSP is too retarded to understand the concept of "settings," it would be the default, unalterable option.

Someone in the team is either a fan or detractor. Either way its kinda beautiful to use DSP as the poster child for making your game retard-proof
