Suicide Squad: Studio informa una reducción de personal

Rocksteady se enfrenta a más despidos tras el decepcionante desempeño de Suicide Squad

Rocksteady Studios, conocido por la aclamada serie Batman: Arkham, ha anunciado otra ola de despidos, tras las decepcionantes ventas de su último título, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. La recepción mixta del juego y el contenido divisivo posterior al lanzamiento provocaron importantes reveses financieros tanto para Rocksteady como para su empresa matriz, WB Games.

Las luchas del estudio comenzaron a principios de 2024, cuando Suicide Squad no cumplió con las proyecciones de ventas. Inicialmente, esto resultó en recortes sustanciales en el departamento de control de calidad en septiembre, reduciendo su personal a aproximadamente la mitad.

Desafortunadamente, estos recortes no fueron aislados. Informes recientes indican que se producirán más despidos que afectarán a los equipos de programación y arte de Rocksteady cerca de finales de 2024, justo antes de la actualización final del juego. Múltiples fuentes anónimas confirmaron su despido a Eurogamer, destacando el impacto del bajo rendimiento del juego en la fuerza laboral del estudio. Warner Bros. aún no ha abordado públicamente estas recientes pérdidas de empleos, lo que refleja su silencio con respecto a los despidos de septiembre.

Los despidos de Rocksteady se extienden a través de WB Games

El impacto del pobre desempeño de Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League se extiende más allá de Rocksteady. WB Games Montreal, el estudio detrás de Batman: Arkham Origins y Gotham Knights, también experimentó despidos en diciembre, lo que afectó principalmente al personal de control de calidad que apoyó la publicación de Suicide Squad. -iniciar contenido.

El DLC final de Suicide Squad, lanzado el 10 de diciembre, introdujo a Deathstroke como personaje jugable. Si bien está prevista una última actualización para finales de este mes, el futuro de Rocksteady sigue siendo incierto tras la conclusión del juego. El proyecto parece haber ensombrecido la impresionante trayectoria del estudio, dejando un rastro de pérdidas de empleos a su paso.

Shadow of the Monkey King: PS5 Patch Delivers Major Performance Boost, But 93GB Download Warning Sends Players Scrambling The highly anticipated Shadow of the Monkey King — officially titled Wukong — has just dropped a major performance patch for PlayStation 5, promising smoother frame rates, enhanced ray-tracing, and improved load times. However, fans are reacting with a mix of excitement and frustration after discovering the patch’s staggering 93GB download size. What’s New in the Patch? According to the official patch notes released by Game Science, the update brings several key improvements: Stable 60fps at 4K Resolution: The game now maintains a consistent 60 frames per second in most gameplay scenarios, a significant upgrade from the variable performance in the initial launch. Ray-Traced Lighting & Reflections: Enhanced visual fidelity with more realistic lighting and environmental reflections, especially in the game’s lush, mythological landscapes. Faster Load Times: Level transitions and open-world travel have been optimized, reducing loading times by up to 40%. Bug Fixes & Stability: Numerous crash fixes and AI behavior adjustments have been implemented based on player feedback. The team has also added a new "Performance Mode" that prioritizes frame rate over resolution, ideal for players who value smooth gameplay over ultra-high graphics. The 93GB Download: A Double-Edged Sword While the improvements are undeniable, the 93GB patch has sparked controversy. For context, the base game was already around 80GB — meaning the patch adds nearly 120% more data. Players on limited storage devices, particularly those with older PS5 models (1TB or 2TB), are alarmed. Many have reported that the patch not only eats up valuable space but may force them to delete other games to make room. Sony has since confirmed that the patch is required to access certain new features, including the expanded "Spirit Realm" side quests and new difficulty modes. Community Reaction “My PS5 only has 2TB, and I’ve already got 100+ games. I don’t even have the storage to test the patch!” – @GamerFromShangriLa “The visuals are gorgeous, but 93GB? That’s more than some whole console games.” – @PixelPanda99 “I’ll take the performance gains… but maybe next time, send a patch that doesn’t require a hard drive upgrade.” – @WukongWarrior Some players are turning to external SSDs, while others are demanding better compression or incremental updates in future patches. What’s Next? Game Science has acknowledged the backlash and said they’re exploring ways to optimize future updates with delta patches. They’ve also hinted at a potential "lightweight" version of the game for lower-end systems. For now, if you’re a fan of Wukong, the patch is worth the download — just make sure you’ve got the space, patience, and a good internet connection. Pro Tip: Use a high-speed external SSD and schedule the download overnight to avoid disrupting gameplay. Shadow of the Monkey King continues to impress with its unique blend of Chinese mythology, fluid combat, and breathtaking art direction. Just don’t forget to double-check your storage before hitting "download." 🐒💥 Lectura
