Regardless I'm looking forward to seeing some new games getting announced, hopefully we can even see a Shonen Jump VS Capcom game In my dreams. That being said we can also use this thread to set up tournaments and multiplayer matches if you guys want. Just tag the OP so people know to match up.

Since SNK Vs Capcom: SVC Chaos is about to be off sale, would any of you know if the Steam port's any good compared to the console versions?

>>1774373 >He opposes "gaming is a young medium" as a retort because film was a young medium, younger even, when many of its foundational greats were made. Super Mario Bros 3 (1988) is still one of the greatest games of all time. The idea that Ebert didn't understand how or why this is true even in 2005 shows how limited his "critic" persona really was. His criticism is not valid. And he's fat.

>>1774373 He's wrong about games not being art (chess is also an art. Someone invented it and crafted the rules, not to mention the artistry that goes into making each individual set), but he is correct about the people who go on and on about games being art all the time. Those people are retards who do nothing but produce terrible art that doesn't even respect its medium, but tries to make it look like a different medium. However, he's wrong about that final point, where he seems to be arguing that the economics and logistics of games means they're not art. Of course films also have massive economic and logistical hurdles that must be overcome, but that doesn't mean they're not art. Ebert is known for treating blockbusters as art. But he's also known for shitting on films just because he reads into them politics that he doesn't like. So he's a fag. But the bitches that try to make video games into art (instead of realizing they always were) are even worse.

Huge Prey 2 leaks Anonymous 09/03/2025 (Wed) 00:19:43 Id: 5112ec No. 1718498 [Reply] [Last]

The infamously cancelled just Prey 2 had a massive wellspring of leaks Everything from the opening to large sections of gameplay. They were posted on YouTube a few days ago and just now discovered. There's an extra video I can't post because it's 10 minutes of gameplay, but I'll link to it. It's an internal demo, I think? https://files.catbox.moe/ttipxb.mp4 It seems the reports of the game being largely finished were true, all the footage looks relatively far into development.

>>1073976 >>1094498 If you're still accepting questions, could you also ask why the industry feels an insatiable "need" to remake/remaster/rerelease absolutely fucking everything? That they cannot leave past games untouched and see it as their mission that they "must", according to them, "update" or "fix" games for the always ambiguous "modern audience" instead of leaving those games the fuck alone. This is extremely important given how Yuji Hori is talking about how a Chrono Trigger remake is on the table: https://archive.ph/jEC6z If it's about keeping these games available to the public, then continuing producing the original game that you released (I don't care how "unrealistic" that sounds, that's your fucking problem) and completely unaltered . Because all that this action by the industry is doing is coming across is (At best) these companies are hurting for money and/or (At worst) incapable of producing another good game because the "greats" games "already" exist.

Personally, I just wanted to ask him the design philosophy behind enemy encounters and party members, and whether the use of the same types of attacks for both player characters and monsters was a deliberate choice to subtly teach the player about the game mechanics or if it was just born out of necessity due to hardware limitations, or both. >Hopefully he can also sign some physical copy, or they allow recording or whatever so I can give more validity to my claims.

>>1380283 > I think what makes an RPG a JRPG has more to do with the game philosophies and influences being more akin to the RPG pioneers rather than just the location in which games are developed In the 80s the Japs cloned the first RPGs and made them better by adding art, music, and better stories than the one-paragraph introduction that the average RPG had back then. Over the next 20 years western devs focused on technical experimentation while Square, Enix, and their copycats took a simple combat engine that worked and wrapped great art, great music, and great stories around it. Someone in the 90s or early 2000s noticed the contrast and made the distinction.

Playing on Permadeath Anonymous 04/29/2025 (Tue) 14:48:07 Id: 2758ee No. 1286214 [Reply] [Last]

Hey /v/iggers. I recently pirated The Last of Us 2. Wasn't a fan of the first game and the sequel seems to have way too many cutscenes, but I really wanted to try it out for a long time since I heard that it has really good stealth and the game is about as gorgeous as games can look. Anyways, there are a ton of options available to you before starting, one of them being related to how death works; you can set it to where you have the traditional reset at a recent checkpoint, reset at the chapter beginning, reset at the act beginning, or reset at the very beginning. I set it to the act beginning, though this did little to discourage me from inpulsively jumping off a cliff to test whether it had an invisible wall. I wanted to ask whether you think there are times where it shouldn't be an option and that a game should force permadeath, or if not quite that, some sort of limit to the amount of times you can die like in arcade games. Do you think it heightens tension to an exciting level or to the point of annoyance?

And don't even get me started on SVE's assumedly lategame locations. There is no swamp in the map (unless the witch's maze is meant to be that), and highlands is also confusing. Is that unlocked from being drinking buddies with Marlon? Finally, the Nexus. Didn't have a parnsip and that's a mostly useless warp, but are the other warp locations the totems which require certain items? This second arc of Stardew Valley is honestly quite confusing. Do I have to achieve Perfection in SVE and RSV in order for it to be counted for Perfection, or am I fine just achieving vanilla Perfection?
