El fracaso de Suicide Squad todavía afecta a Rocksteady. Otra ola de despidos en el estudio.

Rocksteady Studios, el creador de Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, anunció más despidos a finales de 2024, lo que afectará a programadores, artistas y evaluadores. Esto sigue a los despidos de septiembre, que redujeron a la mitad el tamaño del equipo de pruebas.

El estudio ha tenido problemas con la mala recepción del juego y las importantes pérdidas financieras (aproximadamente 200 millones de dólares, según Warner Bros.). No se planean más actualizaciones para 2025, aunque los servidores permanecerán activos.

Estos recortes no se limitaron a Rocksteady; Games Montreal, otro estudio de Warner Bros., también sufrió despidos (99 empleados) en diciembre.

El lanzamiento de acceso anticipado del juego exacerbó la situación. Los jugadores encontraron numerosos errores, interrupciones del servidor e incluso un spoiler de la historia. Las reseñas negativas de las principales publicaciones sobre juegos contribuyeron a un aumento masivo del 791 % en las solicitudes de reembolso (análisis de McLuck).

Los proyectos futuros de Rocksteady siguen sin anunciarse.

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
