Funny! Hot Dog Themed Nintendo Switch Controller

Hyperkin, a video games manufacturing and distributor company from the United States, has once again made a cute and unique game controller. In collaboration with a food company, they created a Hot Dog themed Nintendo Switch controller design.

Previously, Hyperkin had made many game controllers with attractive designs from food brands such as Kraft Mac & Cheese, Heinz, Oscar Mayer, Kool-Aid, and Sriracha.

Reporting from Gizmochina, Wednesday (31/1/2024) the Nintendo Switch controller has a transparent body that is reminiscent of the old N64 controller, featuring red and yellow colors and the addition of curved lines as ‘sauce’ which are the characteristics of Hot Dog food.

Previously, Hyperkin has produced Tetris and Miraculous Ladybug themed controllers, but this is their first foray into the culinary sector. Unfortunately, for fans of multiple consoles, this delicious controller is made only for Switch, PC, and mobile gaming. They are not planned for Xbox or PlayStation compatibility.

For those who like a mix of food and fun, this controller offers a new way to spice up your gaming to make it fun and exciting.

Even now, praise for the titles above is still pouring in. But I don’t know what the future holds, considering that every month game companies in the world often introduce their new games.

Maybe currently all gamers are focused on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Tekken 8, and Palworld. Because the four of them were recently launched, on January 18, 19 and 26 to be precise.

The Most Watched Game Trailer Isn’t GTA VI, But This Game

The GTA VI trailer which was recently released has indeed succeeded in attracting gamers’ attention. However, even though the number of viewers gathered is so large, in fact the video made by Rockstar is still inferior to the popularity of mobile games.

If you visit the Rockstar Games YouTube channel now, you can see the trailer for the latest GTA series, which has been watched 168 million times. This number is enough to overthrow the Minecraft trailer which was released 12 years ago.

Mojang as the developer of Minecraft, through its one minute video, has currently succeeded in getting 167 million views. But at that time it only placed it in second place, as the most watched video game trailer.

Unfortunately Rockstar is still not halfway there, to beat the most watched game trailer which was successfully snatched by Subway Surfers. Published in 2012, the trailer has been watched more than 361 million times, as quoted by Game Station from IGN, Thursday (18/1/2024).

Even so, it looks like the GTA VI trailer still has a big chance of winning the title. Because this game will only be officially released in 2025. Maybe when it actually launches, this opportunity can be realized.

Moreover, gamers are very enthusiastic about this new Rockstar game. Because after many rumors circulated, they finally confirmed that they would bring him in.

Meanwhile, Take-Two Interactive, which is in charge of publishing it, said that when it is released, GTA VI will not be available on PC. So gamers can only play it on PS5, Xbox Series

AI and the Future of the Gaming Industry, Can it Open New Jobs?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not completely a threat. Its sophistication can be used to have a positive impact. Maybe one of them opens up new job opportunities. Well, how is that possible?

This may no longer be just a dream, but could become a reality. Because AI still needs human contribution to make it smarter.

Agate’s Chief Strategy Officer, Cipto Adiguno, said that one of them is becoming a creator to train AI. So this creator no longer creates images or other assets for the game being developed.

“The problem is that now AI has prompts. The prompts don’t always use words, sometimes the prompts use images. And maybe what is needed is not a person who creates the final image, but someone who makes the image or makes multiple prompt to train the AI,” said Cipto to Game Station at the Agate Office, Bandung, Tuesday (16/1/2024).

According to him, AI is just a tool. He is very confident that in the future this technology will have a positive impact, depending on how people use it.

“Either he makes the development process easier or makes it possible for new types of games that were previously impossible (to exist),” he explained.

He only reminded that it didn’t seem like things would go smoothly. This means that there is a transition that must be passed, and there may be resistance. Even so, Cipto is confident that in five to ten years this can be achieved.

Furthermore, he added that Agate itself has tried to implement AI in several of its games. It’s just that Cipto said that the results are often not very visible.

“So that’s actually a good thing. So you can’t tell which ones actually have AI interference and which don’t,” said Cipto.

Cipto also explained that Agate uses AI to look for references, or change the screen format from portrait to landscape. He continued, that they trained this technology with their own images, so that the format could be adjusted.

“So, he’s already filled it. We just need to change it a little. But this is faster,” he explained.

Even though AI is so sophisticated, Cipto said it will still take a long time for this technology to replace humans. Even before that happens, it is possible to shift the role of AI, so that people operate it as a tool only.

“It’s no longer something that’s scary to replace, but it’s just part of the process, part of the tools used,” he concluded.

Series of layoffs in the gaming industry that will occur in early 2024

The storm of employee layoffs in the gaming industry apparently will not subside in 2023. The extreme cycle is still continuing, even starting in early 2024.

Several well-known companies were forced to start the new year with bad news. Not a few of those involved in this industry have had to lay off their employment.

The number of people who have been laid off is very large. To the point that some will lay off 1,800 workers.

So what company is meant? The following is the list, as compiled by Game Station from Kotaku, Tuesday (16/1/2024).

List of Companies Carrying Out Layoffs

The following are eight gaming companies that have laid off workers. Until this news was written, at least more than 2,700 people were fired.

1. Archiact

On January 4, the first company to announce employee layoffs came from Archiact. However, they did not specify how many people had been expelled.

“We are working with these individuals to offset this difficult transition as much as possible, including through reverse recruiting,” Archiact said.

2. Bossa Studios

Actually, technically the layoffs occurred at the end of 2023, only they were only reported and confirmed on January 5 2024. Here they laid off 19 workers.

3. Unity

This game engine company just announced on January 8 that they would lay off 1,800 workers. That means Unity is cutting 25% of its staff.

It could be said that these layoffs are the largest in the company’s history. They said the employee layoffs would be completed next March.

4. Twitch

After Unity, Twitch also revealed that it was preparing to lay off 500 employees on January 9. The company will do this at the end of January.

That means they will lose about 35% of their workers. However, it turns out that Twitch previously carried out layoffs in March and October 2023.

5. Playtika

On January 11 2024, the publisher and developer of this mobile game plans to fire 400 employees. This amount is equivalent to 10% of the company’s total workforce.

Playtika previously laid off 900 employees in 2022. But after that, the company instead poured USD 300 million or around IDR 4.6 trillion to acquire Innplay Labs in 2023.

6. Discord

At the same time, Discord also reported that it would send home 17 percent of its total staff. That number is estimated to be around 170 employees.

Discord CEO Jason Citron said in an internal memo that layoffs were necessary to make Discord more efficient, after excessive hiring in 2020.

7. Lost Boys Interactive

Apart from that, Lost Boy Intractive also laid off its employees. However, they did not provide details on how many people were fired.

“It seems like most of Lost Boys Interactive was laid off today, myself included,” wrote Jared Pace, a producer at the studio on Linkedin.

8. Funselector

Canadian game studio, Funslektor, announced that three of its developers have been laid off. These three are the great people behind the creation of the Art of Rally game.

PUBG Mobile Will Collaborate with Hunter x Hunter?

Speculation regarding a potential collaboration between PUBG Mobile and the Hunter x Hunter anime in early 2024 is currently being widely discussed in the gaming community.

Even though there has been no official announcement from PUBG Mobile, several PUBG Mobile influencers and casters in Indonesia have provided clues regarding the possibility of this rumor. Apart from that, there is also a lot of video content circulating on various digital platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Game Station news portal and YouTube which increasingly convinces the PUBG Mobile community of this collaboration.

Hunter x Hunter fans are very excited to see their favorite characters appear and be played in PUBGM in-game activities. The prospect of playing as an iconic character from this anime series has generated enthusiasm among fans.

Of course, this is not the first time PUBGM has collaborated with a popular Japanese anime title. Previously, PUBG Mobile had collaborated with Evangelion, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Dragon Ball. Big screen shows such as Spider-Man: No Way Home and Godzilla Vs Kong have also joined the world of PUBG Mobile.

Drawing parallels with previous successful collaborations in the anime realm, it is hoped that PUBGM will introduce characters from Hunter x Hunter to the game. The biggest question is which characters will appear in the PUBGM game? Speculation points to key figures such as Gon, Killua, Kurapika, and Leorio, all of whom are important in the plot of the Hunter x Hunter anime.

Although this collaboration has not been officially confirmed, the prospect of combining the dynamic gameplay of PUBGM with the Hunter x Hunter characters promises an exciting gaming experience that is worth looking forward to for fans of both.

The Evolution of Call of Duty (CoD) : A Journey Through Gaming Excellence

Since its inception in 2003, the Call of Duty (CoD) franchise has become a household name, synonymous with intense first-person shooter (FPS) gameplay, gripping narratives, and groundbreaking multiplayer experiences. Developed by various studios under the umbrella of Activision, Call of Duty has evolved significantly over the years, captivating millions of gamers worldwide. In this article, we’ll explore the evolution of the Call of Duty series, highlighting its key milestones and contributions to the gaming industry.

The Beginning: Call of Duty (2003):

Call of Duty made its debut in 2003, introducing players to the brutal realities of World War II. Developed by Infinity Ward, this initial installment laid the foundation for what would become one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time. Call of Duty set itself apart with its realistic approach to war, immersive graphics, and a compelling single-player campaign that emphasized teamwork and historical accuracy.

Modern Warfare Series: A Game-Changing Shift (2007):

In 2007, Infinity Ward took a bold step by shifting the series into modern times with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. This installment marked a significant departure from the historical settings of its predecessors, ushering in a new era of contemporary warfare. The game’s riveting story, combined with the introduction of iconic characters like Captain Price, resonated with players and set a new standard for the FPS genre.

Expanding the Franchise: Treyarch and Black Ops (2010):

Treyarch, another key developer under the Call of Duty umbrella, made its mark with the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops in 2010. The Black Ops series introduced a gripping narrative with mind-bending twists and turns, alongside a diverse set of multiplayer maps and modes. Treyarch’s contributions added depth to the franchise, catering to different player preferences and expanding the overall Call of Duty experience.

Advanced Warfare and the Rise of Exoskeletons (2014):

Sledgehammer Games joined the fray with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare in 2014, bringing a futuristic twist to the series with the introduction of exoskeletons. This installment introduced enhanced mobility, verticality, and futuristic weaponry, offering a fresh take on the traditional Call of Duty formula. The inclusion of exoskeletons added a layer of strategy and dynamism to multiplayer gameplay.

World War II Revisited: Call of Duty Returns to its Roots (2017):

In response to fan demand for a return to its historical roots, Call of Duty: WWII was released in 2017, taking players back to the iconic setting of World War II. Sledgehammer Games delivered a visually stunning and emotionally charged narrative, rekindling the essence of the original CoD while leveraging modern gaming technology.

Warzone: A Battle Royale Revolution (2020):

In 2020, Call of Duty entered the battle royale arena with the release of Call of Duty: Warzone. Developed by Infinity Ward and Raven Software, Warzone offered a massive, free-to-play battle royale experience set in the expansive and familiar world of Modern Warfare. Warzone not only became a sensation in its own right but also demonstrated the franchise’s ability to adapt and innovate in response to emerging trends in the gaming industry.

The Call of Duty franchise has come a long way since its humble beginnings, evolving with the gaming landscape and consistently delivering high-quality experiences. From the trenches of World War II to the futuristic battlefields of advanced warfare, CoD has maintained its relevance by pushing boundaries, embracing change, and staying true to its core principles of immersive storytelling and adrenaline-pumping multiplayer action. As the series continues to evolve, one can only anticipate what thrilling experiences the future holds for this iconic gaming franchise.
