IGN UK Podcast #559: The Manic Marsupial and Jesse's Voice Changer

-
The manic marsupial, AKA Crash Bandicoot is back, and because he forgot to press record the first time; so is Dale with a second go at explaining all his thoughts on the game. Jesse is also on and has been playing a ton of Star Wars: Squadrons. In other news, he also has a new voice changer toy that distracts us for a good 30 seconds too. Cardy rounds off the trio by telling us all about his early thoughts of the Mafia Remaster and we also have an extremely tight round of The Endless Search that needs an action replay to decide a winner. It's tense stuff. Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please do: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Preloading Has Begun

-
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom isn't out for another week, but it's now officially available for preloading. As of today, Nintendo Switch users who preordered Tears of the Kingdom digitally can now preload the game a week early as expected. Of course, it still won't be playable until the game officially unlocks, but preloading it now might help you jump back into the world of Hyrule a little bit earlier — as GameSpot pointed out, the file is 16.2GB. Some fans have reported difficulty with getting the preload to begin, but it appears there's a simple solution. According to Twitter user @PhantomxKairi, canceling the preorder and preordering again should prompt the preload to begin correctly. My digital version of Tears of the Kingdom is now preloading on my Switch! For those who don't see the preload yet (I used a NSO game voucher) cancel the preorder and preorder again, download will pop up! Can't wait for May 12th <3 #Zelda #ZeldaTearsofth

Unity Acknowledges 'Confusion and Frustration' Among Developers But Won't Walk Back Install Fee Plan

-

Game developers are still furious about Unity's planned install fees, but the platform holder is holding fast to its new policy, arguing that "90 percent of [Unity] customers will not be affected by this change.

Ackowledging the "confusion and frustration" stemming from the proposed runtime fees, Unity sought to clarify questions about how the company defines and counts installs — one of the major sticking points around the new policy. Unity has previously said that it will charge $0.20 per install for any game with more than 200,000 installs, raising questions about multiple installs, Game Pass, and other issues.

Unity claims it will only count "net new installs" on any devices starting January 1. It also says developers won't pay fees on re-installations, "fradulent" installs through botnets and other tricks, trial versions, web and streaming games, and charity-related installs. Unity also updated its official blog with more details.

Unity's clarifications didn't seem to placate users. The post currently sits at close to 1000 comments to just 239 likes.

"This fee has still no upper bound, we are penalized for users installing the game on as many devices as they want, and no piracy/fraudulent checks are (nor can be) put in place, leaving it to the developer to figure out," the official account behind Genokids argued.

Other developers urged Unity to fully walk back the plan, which has been heavily criticized for heaping unplanned expenses on smaller games. Cult of the Lamb and Among Us are among the games that face being pulled from digital marketplaces if Unity continues with its plan.
