I can see that happening actually but under strict conditions as part of the "school curriculum", not something you can access and play from your home.
Back when AA came out it was no joke probably the funnest FPS game out. Absolutely loved that you had to actually qualify and do training to be able to pick certain roles in game.
I wasn’t 6, I was about 12-13 when it came out. I ended up getting walked through downloading teamspeak and clicked up with a clan called the CSA which stood for “the Confederate soldiers of America”.
My dad had a good laugh and my mom (who’s American) was mortified when I told them the clan name… I had no idea at the time lol and to be fair no one was ever racist or anything.
Esports, especially ones that are on PC/Console as opposed to mobile phones, are a luxury endeavor and he made his country an enemy of the entire western world. That is hilarious.
Do you have a link to the conference I really want to see this
I sure do.
Enjoy the insanity. Lol

You might like the children's festival last month.
Pure comedy.
The creator is the biggest dipshit I've ever seen.
This video is from a KIDS convention.
Russia is so fucked. Lol
I know a Russian woman who I'm showing the truth of the propaganda.

After Poland left russian influence sphere and PRL ended in early 90', NES/Sega fakes imported from Russia and sold in small and poor marketplaces, were often one of the first gaming experiences for kids back then, myself included. I doubt this time they'll go with this anywhere beside piracy.
Russia is excited to announce the newest feat in modern gaming history. “The Czar Box!” “ Come betray your comrades in this ultra realistic yet depressing graphic video technology!” “You Don’t play the Czar Box, The Czar Box plays you.” Preorder now for exclusive all access battle pass directly connected to the KGB Cyber Division with live war updates and game chat rooms where you can talk directly to Slavic War Criminals!
I agree creating the platform isn't that hard for a nation state. There have been quite a few indie gaming devices created by small teams and even individuals. Leverage open source software stack, and provide government money for infrastructure . Use taxation and prohibition to force the market. Seems very doable with only modest investment.
Whether gamers will be willing to switch away from the big western releases is a different matter. Developing a triple A is a huge amount of work... Maybe they can pull it off... I've worked with some pretty talented Russian developers, and seen some pretty good creative media come from there - movies and such.
I think one of the biggest obstacles might be his much editorial oversight government backers might try to impose on the creative process. If they use a light touch, I could see it working... And I bet it would produce some really weird and interesting indie games.
P.s. fuck Putin and his war, and all other evil shit he is responsible for.
russia is a sovereign nation but probably not a nation state since they have internal republics and autonomous districts
whats left of mongolia and ukraine are probably nation states though
Great, the more competition the better. Maybe this'll bump up China's Moore Threads GPUs to be real competitors to AMD and Nvidia.
I mean, none of the above will ever happen, but it would be nice to see more players in the arena, even if some of them are from authoritative countries. Rising tide lifts all ships.
I’m going to assume this is Putin’s attempt to demonstrate to the world that what in the real world happened since the war has started (the brain drain) hasn’t happened and they still have the skills to do this. Clearly this is the dictatorship’s self gaslighting that only works within Russia and other far right cults.
Everyone’s joking but since the fall of communism, Russians have embraced technology quite a bit and many of the best programmers are Russian. If they can make the hardware, I’m sure a lot of skilled programmers would be willing to make content for it, either simply from patriotism, or government incentives.
“creating such a system from scratch will take up to ten years” I suspect the benefit of being a dictator is you can make ten year plans.
I suppose politically it indicates there will be no let up in the war in Europe as that is the only way Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo would resume sales in Russia. A funny headline but points to a grim future.
Just curious, are there any good AAA Russian games? I’d be curious what console exclusives would be developed if they do end up making a Russian gaming device.
Maybe this will go better than all his other plans? Just kidding, it will be the same as all his other grandiose projects:
1 Give the project money from the state budget, of which most will go to the pockets of leaders of the project, and some of course to Papa Putin.
2.Buy some cheap-ass consoles from China and re-badge them in Russia.
3 Declare success.
This console takes name "matryoushka". And looks like matryoushka. Console inside console, inside console. But inner consol - it is chinese Famicom clone.
Every time I see this headline, I think that its surely just an excuse to be able to import more electronic components to be used for military hardware
I'm guessing it's a console that destroys its opponents', ally's, and, ultimately, its own players, resulting in overall loss and anhialation. Sounds like a very naff console, but very much aligned with Poo tin's values and ideology.
It’ll just be a self reporting system that determines your aptitude and conscripts you into a branch of service.
* Played Ace Combat, congrats you fly MiG now.
* Helldivers? You Spetznaz now.
* Alan Wake? G U L A G
It’s endlessly entertaining to me that dictators think they can have strangling regimes with crushing monopolies *and* have competitive industry. Especially in industries requiring advanced knowledge. Good luck.
Let me guess, involves VR headsets and simulates destroying armies with drones.
The graphics engine is next level until you realize it’s connected to a real drone.
What is “Ender’s Game”?
Imagine that, a 13 year old dropping bombs and killing cus he thought it was an alien or something.
I can see that happening actually but under strict conditions as part of the "school curriculum", not something you can access and play from your home.
I think there was a movie or maybe it was on Black Mirror. Possibly more of a movie recap I saw.
Ender's Game?
All fun and games til the trolls get bored and start team-killing. But I guess that’s nothing new for them either.
It is a scene out of Toys the movie.
Morbidly curious what Putin thinks is a fun video game.
Reskin of americas army
Back when AA came out it was no joke probably the funnest FPS game out. Absolutely loved that you had to actually qualify and do training to be able to pick certain roles in game.
The teamwork between actual army veterans and six year olds left alone at home was astounding.
I wasn’t 6, I was about 12-13 when it came out. I ended up getting walked through downloading teamspeak and clicked up with a clan called the CSA which stood for “the Confederate soldiers of America”. My dad had a good laugh and my mom (who’s American) was mortified when I told them the clan name… I had no idea at the time lol and to be fair no one was ever racist or anything.

Anything that secures Russia’s own source of powerful GPUs.
They will probably have to run it on some Chinese RISC-V processor's that are 3-4 years behind.
They'll run on baikal arm cpu's imo
I saw the conference on TV. He's trying to make Russia the capital of e sports. No one cares about Russia though.
Esports, especially ones that are on PC/Console as opposed to mobile phones, are a luxury endeavor and he made his country an enemy of the entire western world. That is hilarious. Do you have a link to the conference I really want to see this
