Re: A Video Game Actors Strike Could Happen Following Union Vote for Action

Ryall

English voices certainly add to the experience of games that they’re in. But I would hope that games would ship without rather than delaying.

People deserve to be paid fairly, but fair for a video game that is a game. It’s different from a live action film where essentially the product is the work of the actors.

I hope it can be resolved quickly, but compromise is certainly required on both sides.

If you end up getting sectioned under the mental health act in the UK. You’re in a far worse position than if you’re convicted of a crime.

If you’re convicted of a crime, you get a fixed sentence. If you’re sectioned under the mental health act, the doctors can do whatever they want to you until they decide you’re better.

Historically our doctors have been reluctant to decide anyone is better ever.

@Grimwood We had a pandemic (new disease, burning through the population) that’s over, the coronavirus is now endemic (still around and killing people, but not disruptive anymore).

The situation has changed there now 4 endemic coronaviruses in the world rather than 3. Ultimately it doesn’t have any significant impact on our lives anymore. Even if the virus itself hasn’t changed.

Re: Talking Point: Is 2024 Too Soon for PS5 Pro?

I don’t think they should do it. Dividing the attention of developers makes game production slower.

I would get one for the best experience like I did with the PlayStation 4 pro but I’d rather just stick with my PS5.

As for timing, if we assume the PlayStation six is in 2028. Then 2024 is the halfway point. The PlayStation four pro released in the first half of the PlayStation fours live. If it comes out in 2025 or later, it’s too late.
