>>1079186 Gonna be honest, after all the retarded crowdfunding failures and scams by hyped up directors, I've grown a new appreciation for higher-ups who know when to rein in the creatives. Unfortunately, such people who know how to do so without ruining the game as a whole don't really exist anymore.

>>1079162 >>1079186 Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 all released one calendar year after the last (and, for that matter, 1-7 only ever had 2 years between them at most). They weren't unique and distinct because of a deliberate choice to all be different, they were that way because the rotating internal teams had surprisingly little overlap. Go check the lower level credits on Mobygames.

>>1079148 I saw videos on the 9070 XT at ultra for FF16 and the framerates were astonishingly bad. And I'm seeing games that had more advanced tech (read: 5090 bait) -so all in all clearly more strenous loads- at running at nearly double the framerate FF16 did. Similar scene complexity, all of that. I guess it's going to take a few more years for Capcom/Squeenix to figure out PC development, despite the fact that they've been releasing shit on PC regularly for over a decade now.

>>1079182 Wrong. The franchise would live longer and thrive, as everyone else wanted more FF VII. >FFX Complete shit about angry teenager and a dumb whore who don't know her place. >>1079186 Releasing different titles instead of more FF VII killed the series with lower sales for every new entry. Your point?

>>1069089 >Annihilate the few guys who were devoted to Tribes <In favor of ASSFAGGOTS games <Or any shitty game trying to catch up with the current flavor of the month genre that "broke" the internet The main problem with HIREZ is that they're not Crapcom, not even the marxist pedos would fund their current miscarriage, if the disgraced developers have spine they'd straight out dump their respective source codes just to spite HIREZ. >>1072479 The face reminds something out of Syrsa, remember that guy who used to autotune TF2's voicelines? >>1078750 Their own worst enemy was the Karl Marx wannabe hogging all the credit.

>>1079133 >>1079137 People need to understand that the "X million/thousands of copies" milestone announcements always include stock shipments (to retailers) and digital sales (especially if Steam is involved due of third-party stores buying license keys in large bulks), not just the sell-through numbers of retail copies actually sold to customers. Only Famitsu and Media Creates for the Japanese vidya market do gather data of the latter.

>>1079197 While a publisher needs to keep the devs in check, to avoid going over-buget or releasing bad games, they also shouldn't sabotage them when they try to make their dream game(see Dragon's Dogma 2) in order to put them back on the plantation, and they should dissolve studios just to put them onto the plantation(see Activision studios, with the exception of Blizzard, all being put on the CoD farms). There should be a balance somewhere. >>1079162 Going back to the Final Fantasy discussion, when people talk about XIII, XIII-2, Lighting Returns, XIV(the original one), XV and XVI, they don't complain that it's not Final Fantasy VII, they complain that they are bad games, badly mismanaged games, or bad games that were badly mismanaged. On the other hand, when people praise XII, IX and X, they don't praise them for not being VII, they praise them for being good games, with good stories, characters, gameplay, music and so on. I never really hear people say "You know I really liked the world and characters of XII, but it would have been better if that game had never been made, and instead release a sequel to VII", though I do hear Xenogears fans lamenting that the budget of that game was cut short to fund VII. My point is that if the later FF games were well managed, had a release every 1-3 years, and were good games, fans and casuals would have been happy. >but it would not have sold as much as VII First of all, you don't know that, and second of all, as long as they are profitable, that's all that matters to investors. Furthermore if they were able to make shitty Final Fantasy games, then they were just as likely to make shitty VII sequels and remakes that would have sold like shit, and then what would have been your argument? That now, after they completely milked the cow to death, they should make a new world only for it to be milked as well? Is that really good for consumers, buyfags and pirates included?

>>1077774 >>1077777 But having that 2nd Nigger Robocop in the franchise again could be peak fiction.

>>1079398 In some cases they can't even use the 'shipped' buzzword. EA with Dragon Age Veilguard used 'engaged'. Which means they counted shared copies and xbox game pass 'rentals'.

Have you been sipping that strychnine, son? It's pretty funny that Burakh is digging through trash for half rotten apple slices to survive while Danil is just buzzed out of his mind in stims and completely losing it, smashing random objects and slamming on keyboards while smoking like a chimney.

Fitgirl is asking for donations. She runs a high end seed box costing 200 euros a month and she asks for donations every few months or so to cover expenses. Fitgirl also makes sure that her 5,400 repacks are seeded with the box. What you're looking at is a cryptobro who gave her 0.5 BTC, equal to about $42,000 USD at time of image. That's going to keep that box running for years.

They stated that they were "female and kinda proud of it", as the only female repacker in the scene at the time. They claim they were born in Russia, but are based in Latvia

If anyone cares, Venom just released for ggst. https://web.archive.org/web/20250324022429/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ds4zgV8ZW4 Surprisingly enough, they didn't gut him as much as everyone else. >can't post images even when i saved them as jpgs. gracias, mark-sama.

>>1082498 Just save the jpg fgt lol

>>1082501 the problem is that the image i dl'd was high res, but was originally in the .png format. The other one was a an incredibly my shitty drawing but i saved it as a jpeg. https://files.catbox.moe/cwolla.jpeg https://files.catbox.moe/zj0ob2.jpeg I've got no clue why it doesn't work, guess i'll just wait when posting .gifs and .pngs are available again.

>>1082502 All in all that looks surprisingly respectable.

>>1082359 >>1082364 Oh well, that explains it then. Tranny confirmed.

>>1082521 Outside changing windows/glass for some reason (though some of it looks to be pre release and unfinished compared to the screenshots they've shown, plus the flickering light at 1:07) and the hybrids loosing their wrinkled skin, it does look pretty good. The weapon animations are also a welcome addition. They probably won't fix all the balance issues the game had with Exotic weapons outside the crystal being useless, only found late game, the Psy skill system being all over the place and Energy Weapons being useless late game. Maybe if they add a New Game+ mode it will make that seem less broken. They're adding additional mod support with a more user friendly interface so hopefully we'll see more of those.

VAMB2 delayed again!

>>1082625 This is going to be such a fucking disaster And retards will buy this regardless due to cult status.

>>1082627 Indeed.

>>1082625 I heard they nerfed Christina Hendrick's "presence" in the game (and by presence I mean her titties) so I knew it's DoA. >>1082631 What the fuck kind of rejected Hogwarts Legacy concept character am I looking at?

>>1082625 This just got an ESRB rating, suggesting the delay was pretty last minute. What a fuckup this product has been.

>>396559 >Switch 2 releasing in June with a 3-phase strategy approach for game releases: >1st: primarily 1st party at launch >2nd phase: 3rd party studio titles in Oct-Nov (dev kits expected in June) >3rd phase: games in holiday period So you guys looking forward to the new WiiU? https://archive.ph/wip/850Tz

>>1052424 >>1052433 >>1052446 Replying to these old posts to comment on the fact we've been hearing about the "Oblivion remake" for months now. There are reports it will be announced next month, just remember this before believing that. >>1082651 The Wii U was a failure largely because of its terrible marketing, not its release strategy. Most casuals didn't even realize it was a new console, and don't underestimate how many people mistook it for that THQ tablet which released around the same time, the UDraw.

>>1082651 >So you guys looking forward to the new WiiU? Don't you mean Saturn? Where this was EXACTLY Sega's bold strategy for the Western launch, and which no one wants to take the blame for even to this day.

>>1082658 Ah, you're right. My bad.

>>1082651 >>1082658 You guys underestimate Pokefags and their willingness to buy a console for one game.

>>1082726 Don't forget Mario and Zelda. And they're right to do it. Every Mario and Zelda game is great.

>>1082651 >>1082658 As stated the WiiU did poorly because of it's marketing, but not only that the WiiU really didn't have a great line up, since it was basically just the power of a 360, and the Gamepad never really justified it's existence in terms of game design, nobody wanted to bother making use of the thing. You had Batman Arkham City on Wii U as something to show off. A game everyone already owned, some multiple copies of since people double-dipped for the GOTY edition, and all the WiiU version managed to add was clunky Gamepad Implement, and the Shock gloves mode that ended up in Arkham Origins. The Saturn and by extension the Dreamcast failed because Sega lost trust with its costumers, since the Sega CD and 32X failed at enough interesting quality games to justify themselves, and Sega also made the huge mistake of thinking 3D games was just a fad, as the Saturn was intended for 2D games. Whatever issues the Switch 2 may have, it's not going to be for either of these reasons. Playstation and Xbox are still behind the times when it comes to portable gaming, PlayStation Hilariously enough made their own WiiU tablet with the Portal, and Xbox might have something cooking, but maybe not in time to compete with the Switch 2 it seems. So really it's just the Handheld PC market competing with Nintendo right now, and the average consumer doesn't want to bother with a PC, they want what's familiar to them. The only real Hurdle the Switch 2 might have, is people thinking Why should I even buy this new one, when I have the old one. But the Switch is quite old now, so the Switch 2 being new will likely justify itself. People buying Nintnedo games because of their quality or Nostalgia are one reason for success, but the young kids are always going to be a huge factor on why Nintendo systems are going to sell. It's not impossible for Nintendo to stumble, but I would say they picked the Switch 2 name to really avoid the big mistake the WiiU had, can't get more blatant and clear than putting a big 2 on the logo.

>>1082748 I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people thought the 3DS was literally just a DS with 3D capabilities. I know people who thought that in real life. And how many kids got burned buying a DSi thinking it was a new thing with new games, only to find that there were only a couple download only minigames that were actually exclusive? Those kids would then be worried about getting burned with a 3DS. As for Vita, a lot of people didn't even know it existed. But either way, in both cases, it's the software that usually sells the hardware. I like a bunch of Vita games, but casuals have never heard of Gravity Rush. They have no reason to buy it because they weren't even aware of the games that might make them want to buy it. Same goes for 3DS early in its lifespan. But over time more games came out, so more people bought it.

>>1082750 I think a small but worth mentioning factor to the Vita not doing was the Memory Card pricing. Maybe it might not have been a huge difference, but tons of people hacked their PSP's, Sony tried to combat this by jacking up the prices of the Vita Memory cards to make up the difference for how rampant piracy was, and that resulted in many who would have been interested in the hacking/piracy scene for a Vita seeing clear though Sony's efforts, and giving them the finger and not buying the thing in the first place. I know that was a factor as to why I never bothered getting a Vita, despite the fact I probably would have enjoyed it at the time. It was just a bad look from what I saw at the time.

>>1082754 That was a real pain in the ass for people who were already interested, but casuals weren't buying based on stuff like that. The types of nerds like those on this website, who would base their purchases on piracy, are not a significant enough segment of the market to make the difference. But yes, that memory card bullshit was very annoying.

>>1082750 >Same goes for 3DS early in its lifespan The 3DS was simply too expensive, so they had to slash it's price from 250$ to 170$(almost a third), in it's first few months after release, then they also got Monster Hunter on it, then it sold well enough. It barely had anything to do with it's name.

>>1082781 There's also the issue of many people only buying a DS to play Nintendogs and Brain Training, and that audience went to mobile.

Prepare yourself for "we have Skyrim at home", releases this year. It's apparently based on a tabletop RPG.

>>1082794 I posted about this a few minutes before you in another thread, what an odd coincidence. I genuinely hope this is good, there are so few TES clones this studio seems to be focusing on mechanics. It looks nice enough, >>1082755 Buying devices to turn them into piracy machines is bigger than you'd probably expect, especially outside the US. Hacked PSPs were everywhere in Europe in the 2000s.

>>1082794 The UI looks like ass

>>1082799 >coincidence I saw your post, looked it up, and posted the trailer. >>1082803 It looks like Windows 8, it clashes with the fantasy aesthetic. I strongly dislike that blocky, minimalist, "utilitarian" design that's been dominating the decade.

>>1082806 >The decade It's been dominating for like 2 decades thanks to Apple and mobileshit.

>>1082807 *Almost 2 decades

Steam's biggest language is now Chinese Technically it has been for awhile, as the Chinese in Taiwan and PRC were separated out

>>1083163 Did Valve start distributing free unsanitary rice to starving yellow skins living on ghettos for that to happen?

SRW Y announced for PC and Switch sometime in 2025. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1909950/SUPER_ROBOT_WARS_Y/

>>1083380 It unfortunately looks like a carbon copy of SRW 30 which was a pretty bad game, in a franchise that has been on a downward trend since the VXT trilogy but 30 increased the problems by tenfold. The quality of animations has yet to reach again the stuff we got on the PS2 and PSP, or the amount of various enemy units in past titles either. Even disabling the SP regen per turn would be a small improvement amongst other things that have been simplified to the point SRW is barely a strategy title now. Hell the UI in Y took a nosedive so it's not a good start for me to be optimistic.

Starsector updated. Mount and Blade had it's new DLC and the accompanying free update announced as well.

People are working on a open source UT99 engine but no stable releases are out yet. News: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/01/surreal-engine-is-an-open-source-reimplementation-of-unreal-engine-for-classic-games/ Github: https://github.com/dpjudas/SurrealEngine

>>1083994 This really is cool but it will never support every UE1 game, because Magna Carta exists and says fuck you.

>>1084000 What's with this game that causes trouble?

>>1084002 They used UE as a base for a PS2 game, then realized it didn't do things exactly how they wanted so they custom rewrote a good chunk of stuff. If there ever is a similar project for UE2 then Bioshock 1&2 will be similarly hard to deal with, since it's UE2 with stuff from 3 and custom stuff as well

>>1084009 Oh yeah custom stuff will sure cause trouble for them, since it would require reverse engineering those games and that takes time.

>>1083994 Hopefully Deus Ex will be supported before 2052.

Kazuma Kaneko's previously-teased upcoming game project is now fully revealed in a new Dengeki Online article. Turns out it's a deck-building roguelite coming out this spring. This is not an April Fool's joke, believe it or not. Kaneko showed up to the interview cosplaying one of his own character designs. Quite a neat idea. Sadly, I don't think the clean-shaven look suits him at all. Just my 2 cents. Anyway, I took the time to archive and machine-translate this Dengeki interview with him and his co-developer, some guy named Kevin. Enjoy, guys: https://archive.ph/z9DVk >"Project MASK," a completely new title under development by Kazuma Kaneko, who has joined COLOPL, has created quite a stir. The official name of the title is "TSUKUYOMI: THE DIVINE HUNTER" (iOS/Android/PC), and it will be released worldwide in the spring of 2025. >The title is a tower roguelike game set in a unique world created by Kazuma Kaneko. >Interviews with Kazuma Kaneko, concept planner, and Kevin Yusuke Saito, development producer. We will provide information on the appeal of the roguelike game genre and its worldview. >(Image: Kazuma Kaneko, concept planner, and Kevin Yusuke Saito, development producer.) <Best regards. Before I ask for more details, Mr. Kaneko looks different than usual....... >Mr. Kaneko: Actually, there is a character like this in the game. I am cosplaying a character I designed myself (laughs). <It is an interesting meta development to meet someone in the third dimension before meeting them in a game. First of all, please tell us how you came to develop "Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter," or "Project MASK". >Mr. Kaneko: When I joined COLOPL, I was asked to come up with game plans, regardless of genre. I am often thought of as an illustrator, but for the major titles I have been involved with, I am involved in the planning and thinking of the game concept. >I came up with a grand story, with the intention of developing not only a game, but also an anime, a novel, and other media mixes. >That is what I would like to introduce to you this time, "Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter". Until now I have been a demon painter, but from this work I have become a Shinmamono painter. Originally, I painted mostly things other than demons (laughs). >(Image: Divine: Kirin) >I had envisioned an RPG, but someone suggested, "How about a roguelike game?" and the game design became what it is today. <Rogue-like is a genre that has recently become popular in indie games. >Mr. Kevin: Yes. In addition to that, another important point is that we had decided to use AI technology in this work. AI technology has been expanding over the past year and a half to two years, and our company has been thinking about how to utilize this latest technology in entertainment. >AI has a randomness in what is output when you enter a prompt (command or instruction). This randomness and roguelike compatibility led to the decision to create a genre. <What was your impression when you first heard about AI and roguelikes, Kaneko-san? >Mr. Kaneko: At first I thought it would come that way because I had envisioned an RPG. I also felt that the company wanted to communicate with users using the new technology of AI. >This is a new genre for me, but I thought it was interesting and good. >(Image: Tsukuyomi of the Full Moon) <So this was a new challenge for you, both as a game genre and in the use of AI technology. >Mr. Kaneko: I did not join the company with the intention of taking on challenges, but I am glad that they let me take on challenges as a result (laughs). >Creators are always challenging themselves, but we are often passive and don't have many opportunities to challenge ourselves if we live a normal life, so I am glad that I was given the chance. <Could you tell us again what kind of game this work is? >Mr. Kevin: This work consists of three keywords: Kazuma Kaneko's worldview, AI technology, and roguelike. It is a different genre from what Mr. Kaneko has created so far, and with the inclusion of AI, there are many sharp edges. I think it is an important part to properly incorporate this into a single game experience. >Personally, I also wanted to challenge myself to create a new game experience with AI. >(Image: Tsukuyomi of the Half Moon) >Mr. Kaneko: Since this is the first time AI has been woven into the game design, I can honestly say that it is hard to describe. <It has been used for internal data in past games, but it is a rare experience to have AI appear as a system that players can touch. >Mr. Kaneko: It's a "fun element" of the game. As you play the game, a character called "Wolf" equipped with AI generates cards for you as a kind of reward. <What attracts you to the roguelike card game genre?

[Expand Post]

>Mr. Kevin: I have always liked the genre myself and have played many different titles. While it is popular worldwide, I have the impression that it is niche in the Japanese market as a whole. With this release on both mobile and PC, I hope to broaden the market. >One of the attractions of roguelike card games is the construction and building of decks. The feeling you get when you are able to realize the strategy you have thought up in your head is unmatched. With cards being generated by the AI, you can enjoy your own unique style. I hope that communication between players will deepen and expand, as they will be able to say, "I cleared the game this way" or "I did it this way". <You mentioned that you want to broaden the scope of your business, What specific efforts are you making? >Mr. Kevin:This title differs from other roguelike card games in that it uses a system in which only three cards appear in the hand, allowing players to focus on each card individually and making the combinations easy to understand. >Also, since the game is often played in a fiercely competitive genre, attack and defense are combined into a single set, giving the game a sense of tempo that makes it easy for new players to play. >Mr. Kaneko: My works have been RPGs up until now, so I think some people are worried about whether they will enjoy the change in genre. I hope that people who have never played roguelike games will be satisfied with the game, so please don't be averse to it and give it a try first. >I hope that we can provide you with videos and other information that will help you enjoy the game. >(Image: Divine: Seiryu) >Mr. Kevin: Fans of Mr. Kaneko as well as those who like roguelike/card games should enjoy this game. The game retains the basic fun of a roguelike, while sprinkling Mr. Kaneko's worldview throughout. <Kaneko-san's works have a unique worldview with a mixture of mythological lore and urban legends. Will we be able to enjoy such a world in this work as well? >Mr. Kaneko: Yes, I have always been interested in mythology, history and urban legends. I have always loved myths, history, and urban legends, and I am good at creating contemporary works. There are urban legends that say "The assassinated person is actually alive and can be found at ......." I think it would be interesting to apply this to games. I am creating a worldview by thinking about how myths and legends would look like in the modern world. >(Image: Divine: Fionn mac Cumhaill) >(Image: Divine: Macha) <Has the genre of the game changed in any way from the initial concept? >Mr. Kevin: The worldview and story have not changed, as we had created it in such a way that it could be incorporated into any form. >The setting is a tower, and the story takes place within it. >(Image: Divine: Kato Danzo) >(Image: Divine: Mormo) <Even though it is a contemporary work, it is catchy that it is set in a tower building. What was the deciding factor in choosing the location? >Mr. Kaneko: I like to take walks and often wander around various places. When I take a walk in Toyosu or the bay area, I see many skyscrapers being built. This may sound a bit disturbing IF I am talking about, but I think that area could become an isolated island if only a bridge were to be dropped. >I originally come from a small company, so my brain is geared to creating drama in a limited space. It would cost a lot to develop an open-world setting. >I always wondered what it would be like to play tag or survival games in a tower building, and I always wondered if I could make that into a game, and that is what I have incorporated into this work. <What is the most important part of creating your worldview, Kaneko-san? >Mr. Kaneko: I believe that motivation is important. I want the players to be motivated to play the game in a meaningful and convincing way. >I myself am the type of person who would be turned off if there is no realism, so I think it is necessary to have a solid principle of action, such as who the characters are and what kind of activities they will perform. >(Image: Tsukuyomi of the Sixteen-Night Moon) <How involved are you in the scenario this time around? >Mr. Kaneko: I write the basic story. The sub-events are a form of urban legends and other stories that are made into events by everyone. <This may be a difficult question given the nature of the genre, but how many hours of playtime do you anticipate? >Mr. Kevin: It depends largely on good play and luck. The game consists of three stages per protagonist: lower, middle, and upper levels, and clearing them all completes that protagonist's story. Since there are four protagonists in total, the estimated time is 6-8 hours x 4 protagonists, with endgame content beyond that. >(Image: Tsukuyomi of the New Moon) >I don't want it to end up being too easy because you are all too good (laughs). And there you have it, folks. Hope you enjoyed. P.S. - As I was posting this, I noticed Famitsu just put up an interview with them too. I'll post that one next.

>>1084361 >deckbuilding roguelike I'm not sure any genre in the history of the industry has been this over saturated. WoW killers and brown military shooters have NOTHING on this.

>>1084395 I FORGOT THEY WERE MAKING THIS The trailer being released April 1st last year was apart of the joke, but it was always real, the release date was April 2025 from the start. A look at other Pals. Nice to see they have female version of the very popular Chillet character they showed off in the original trailer.

They're apparently also making merch, my word.

>>1084361 >The title is a tower roguelike game >>1084395 >Palworld dating sim Great, looks like I am never going to have fun with vidya ever again. I blame ADHD Zoomers for this

>>1084395 >>1084396 I'm gonna rip my fucking dick off This probably deserves its own thread, and it looks like the release date was changed from April 2025 to TBA so it's not coming out soon probably

>>1084402 Finish your backlog, fag.

>>1084363 A lot of genres had the issue on the FC, you just never hear of it because most of these shitty platformer/jRPG/puzzle with random gimmick never got translated and are just ignored as trash.

>>1084430 Funny you say that as I'm actually quite familiar with that console's library. There are more roguelites than there were games on the Famicom, anon.

>>1084410 Anon Kaneko already made NFTs

Funny situation involving Blue Archive,especially considering the people thinking they are "based", some girl went to IShowSpeed and started spewing stuff because of the "Momoi racist meme" , so changoros wanting to look good for their nigger overlord went apeshit towards her and some are trying to frame her as Japanese, also Yostar talking about maybe suing. Btw IShowSpeed does incentive people to say racist shit to him to make reaction stuff.

>>1084361 And here's the game trailer, from COLOPL's official jewtube channel. They also uploaded a much longer video, basically an interview with Kaneko and Kevin for about 50 minutes. Sadly, the videos have no English translation, as far as I know. >>1084410 >Watch as he goes full NFT next. If by "next", you mean "previously", yeah, that's exactly what he did.

>>1084489 Why do people pay attention to this guy, he's the lowest sort of controversy seeking grifter in the streaming space?

>>1084513 No clue,but he got famous and it kinda of just spiral after that.

Jagex announced a new installment in the RuneScape franchise today titled RuneScape: Dragonwilds. Unlike their MMOs, this is a stand alone open world survival game that takes place within the world of Gielinor. There are two short teaser trailers with early access coming "soon". The Steam page says Spring 2025 but there's no exact date yet.

>>1084554 Ah yes, more generic shovelware, my favorite!

>>1084433 Yes, but that's just the market being more crowded in general. There's more of every game than there were Famicom games.

>>1084554 they didn't have enough second rate citizens to fund old school RS?

>>1084554 >Survival slop At least try to do something cool like Khazan you fucking retards

>>1084673 The two genres are open world survival crafting or roguelike deckbuilder

https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Dde8H1YhP-U (too long to webm) The cancelled Disco Elysium sequel leaked. It was going to be called Locust City, with Cuno as its main character. Basically what everybody was expecting Disco 2 to be after the Cuno ending.

Some of the art of the game looked really cool, you got to see more of the world. It's a shame the investor went schizo and fired everybody then cancelled everything.

>>1084920 You can't be an investor if you don't hate the players

>>1084923 To be fair, the Disco Elysium team were filled with commies

>>1084916 >>1084920 The fact it was a Cuno focused sequel has been known for awhile, but this is a huge amount of footage and info about the project. I wonder of any scorned dev will bite the bullet and dump a build online, maybe fans will try to recreate it like with Duke Nukem Forever. >>1084926 In this case they actually made the game, so I don't know what his plan was.

>>1084916 I'm glad this commie fucks got the shaft and their studio is dead. Leaking info just goes to show how mad they are lmao

>>1084969 You have a tl;dr?

>>1084969 God I miss Pija

Nintendo Switch 2 preorders in U.S. delayed because of Trump's tariffs https://archive.ph/Tz1jE >Nintendo will not take preorders for its new game console next week, the company said Friday, as it evaluates the impact of President Donald Trump's new, far-reaching tariffs. >The Japanese electronics giant had been set to accept Switch 2 advance orders in the United States on Wednesday, but that's now been pulled off the table — though Nintendo insisted that its June 5 launch date "is unchanged." >"Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions," according to a company statement. "Nintendo will update timing at a later date. " >The company just revealed details of the hotly anticipated Switch 2 two days ago, saying it would sell for $449.99. >That same day, Trump revealed he would hit Japanese imports with a 24% tariff. >Friday’s announcement stunned American gamers, who’d been eagerly awaiting the Switch 2 rollout and continued play of such popular games as Mario Brothers, Legend of Zelda and Donkey Kong on Nintendo’s latest mobile console. >The mobile Switch 2 is also expected to have a more powerful processor, making it more performance competitive with rival home console makers, Sony PlayStation and Microsoft's Xbox. >Switch 2 is billed as being more accessible to popular third-party titles not made by Nintendo, such as NBA 2K, Hogwarts Legacy, Civilization VII, and Elden Ring.

>>1086016 Seems like he swore allegiance to the cult of ham

>>1086016 Good. Fuck anyone involved with that piece of shit nugame.

>>1086111 Is there a story behind it? or are you just salty for the game being obvious indie slop.

>>1086106 Get fucked nintendo

>>1086113 Devs and the official account virtue signal all the time about being pro gay, tranny and anti right wing while mocking christianity.

>>1086178 Ah, fuck em then.

>>1084489 https://nitter.net/AFpost/status/1907637376848978099 Add having cotton given to him and you know this is staged.

https://archive.ph/wip/lAoiR >they didn't quietly can it We haven't heard of any layoffs at the Fairgame$ studio, so we can assume that is also still alive. Sony pumping hundreds of millions into those two and others like, and Nintendo pushing $90 games is going to crash the console market.

>>1086826 >Does nothing >Wins

>Steam Megahit Schedule 1 Is Under Investigation For Copying Another Drug Dealing Indie Game https://archive.is/wip/wHq9L

>>1086826 I still can't believe they turned Marathon into a fucking PvP extraction shooter.

>>1086875 >>1086826 >New Marathon game Uhh where is the gameplay of it? Is it anything like the old Marathon game?

>>1086880 It's a multiplayer only PvP game, so it's nothing like the old Marathon I'm not sure they've released gameplay yet, only trailers.

>>1086880 Is it just arcade Tarkov?

Repostan from the lounge thread just to spread awareness, hopefully this is okay with the moderation. A prototype for a cancelled Retro Studios game just got leaked, IMO it reminds me a lot of 360 Rare with the aesthetics. Here's footage (the video is too massive to post here natively): https://streamabledl.com/2mkoof Download for the game, the uploader pre-configured it: https://gofile.io/d/6ByjC5 He also leaked some other stuff >buildSplatoon 2 builds >ARMS debug build >RRProto (unreleased ridge racer game) >Project Harmony/RS11 (unreleased retro studios game) >Lego Civilization (unreleased) >RiMe dev build >Raw eMMC dumps: https://gofile.io/d/Ec0at5 >Packaged NSPs: https://gofile.io/d/ySRF68 >(just splatoon dev builds): https://gofile.io/d/7aL8xS

>>1086903 >>1086902 >Nu Marathon game has nothing to do with old Marathon game Great what a timeline to be alive in, old games getting completely rebranded as something else which has nothing more to do with the previous series.

>>1086927 They've been doing that for quite some time now, nostalgia sells and these companies are completely creatively bankrupt and bloated to the core due to Obungas policies fattening them up.

Good News Everyone The Steam version of NMH2 has finally been fixed after 4 fucking years. NMH1 also received an update to fix some lingering issues.

I made this video 4 years ago, when NMH was announced for Steam, and the Ninja Gaiden Master Collection. It is somehow Relevant again, because NG4 is coming out and NMH2 is fixed.

>>1087056 Who did the port? I'm legitimately surprised they went back to it after so long.

>>1087057 Remember when you needed 2 different consoles just to play them?

>>1087059 It lists Engine Software as the logo when starting up the game. But they must have done a shitty job, since I'm pretty sure someone at XSEED has actually been doing the work to fix and patch these ports. For all I know it's might as well have been one guy working on these patches by himself on his free time for 4 years. Since nobody seemed to give a shit, but some community manager guy on the steam Forums and I belive an XSEED Discord server, has been giving small news updates after being hounded over the years that yes they were still working on fixing these ports.

>>1087064 Sometimes all it takes is the will of a single autist, Saints Row 2 proved that.

>>1086880 It looks like shit. 15 minute gameplay video in case the webm doesn't properly convey how shit it looks https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=aYhmU9qV6sw

>>1087057 >It is somehow Relevant again, because NG4 is coming out Which will likely be shit. >and NMH2 is fixed. There is nothing that can be "fixed" about NMH2 that won't make that game trash. >>1088735 Why does this look like every other FPS out there? I know people like to rag on how "every" FPS looks like COD, but this literally looks like COD.

>>1088735 I didn't knew it was marathon until i saw the logo. BEN run logo gave Ruiner vibes for some reason when whole style changed at mention of death. Before funny ass pixel death sequence it looked like paintball 3d.

>>1088740 I dunno i deliberately didn't read the thread before watching the video, thought it was futuristic paintball game.

>>1088735 Fucking hell. Even on 2x playback speed I feel like I'm watching them wade through molasses.

>>1088735 If you want the cheatcode to getting normalfags to shit on stuff like this, it's calling it "corpo slop". Yes I know slop is some cuckchan shit, but reddit niggers like to LARP like they are cool anti-corporation freedom fighters and recoil and being told anything is corporately curated.

>>1088735 This looks like ass. Not that I expected anything different. Still a shame to see things end like this.

>>1088740 >There is nothing that can be "fixed" about NMH2 that won't make that game trash. Margaret Moonlight is in the game. Opinion discarded.

>minor news thread almost slid after a single day Fucking hell, sorry for bumping without content

Tempest Rising is out https://store.steampowered.com/app/1486920/Tempest_Rising/

>Gaider explains that after Dragon Age: Inquisition left him feeling exhausted, he "joined the new project that the former Mass Effect team in Edmonton was cooking up—the one that became Anthem … That was a mistake"—not Anthem, but rather, going from a Dragon Age to a Mass Effect team at BioWare. >"The thing you need to know about BioWare is that for a long time it was basically two teams under one roof: the Dragon Age team and the Mass Effect team. Run differently, very different cultures, may as well have been two separate studios. And they didn't get along. >"The company was aware of the friction and attempts to fix it had been ongoing for years, mainly by shuffling staff between the teams more often. Yet this didn't really solve things, and I had no idea until I got to the [Anthem] team," he adds: "The team didn't want me there. At all." >He explains that Anthem had initially been conceptualised as grungy, Aliens-esque science fiction—and that he'd been given marching orders to turn it into a science fantasy romp. This met the existing team like oil on water. >”I don't think anyone told the team this. So they thought this change was MY doing. I kept getting feedback about how it was 'too Dragon Age' and how everything I wrote or planned was 'too Dragon Age' >”It became clear this was a team that didn't want to make an RPG … yet they wanted me to wave my magic writing wand and create a BioWare quality story without giving me any of the tools I'd need to actually do that." >"While I was at BioWare, EA always preferred Mass Effect, straight up. Their Marketing team liked it more. It was modern. It had action. They never quite knew what to do with DA, and whenever DA outperformed ME, ME got the excuses. If you ask me, it was always just shy of the axe since DA Origins."

>>1174474 >it was always just shy of the axe since DA Origins Almost like it was shit since DAO. I tried of hearing devs excuses and not to blame them. Fuck those faggots, i dont care about your working conditions, our relationship is simple i give you money and you give me a good product and thats fucking it. We're all stuck in shitty jobs we dont like, cry me a fucking river.

>>1175036 People have been shitting on DA since 2 so that tracks. I still remember the witcher 2 banter around it.

I wouldn't trust a word that gaider says. The guy is just trying to blame EA for all of his own shortcomings.

>A begrudged employee with an axe to grind has something to say! I never trust this crap. It always reads like some sitcom drama. And it's always coming from """"games journalism"""". DA was trash, because Bioware tried to ride the "inclusivity" gravy train for goodboy points, and to try and tell themselves they're doing something different, since they're a failing company out of ideas. No one likes the "stunning and brave" artistic equivalent of stealing a toilet with piss stains on the seat, then slapping on a bioware label. It failed. That's it.

>>1134916 A week early, somehow

>>1175036 >>1175130 >>1175743 /thread/ What else is there to say. It's just the crying of a man trying to remain relevant.

Anthem purely exists for data collection, it already got leaked EA has patents for scanning your console's room to map it out.

>>1176210 Great malware EA

>>1086880 >Is it anything like the old Marathon game? It's an extraction shooter, and so far it seems to only carry the Marathon brand and nothing else. Kind of hard to build a new brand from the ground up, you know? So might as well parade the corpse of an old series.

>>1176210 That's so fucking weird

>>1174474 So essentially EA treated Mass Effect like a battered wife and Dragon Age as it's malnourished child? Neither DA2 nor ME3 was treated right and were both rushed out the door. DA2 was definitely the worst because it was never supposed to be a new game in the first place, it was supposed to be dlc for DAO. DAI happened and this steaming pile of turds came out. At least Andromeda had some redeeming qualities and those being that the graphic fidelity was great and the gameplay was definitely the best in the series. Dragon Age Veilguard appears to have no redeeming qualities, even the name was downgraded

>>1176280 I only played mass effect 1 but never beat it. I liked it but I can't finish any game these days. I should give it another shot especially since I hear 2 is even better.

>>1176446 Mass Effect as a series is not worth it. I'd argue even the first game is bad and is essentially race mixing propaganda. Bioware got what they deserved in the end, it was always going to end up like it did.

>>1122942 Any difference?

>>1134916 >>1175912 How is it?

Considering the name of the game went from Dreadwolf, which is the name of fenharrel or whatever the fuck solas name was to Veilguard, shows a complete change in direction that they were originally planning to take the game since what 2015, all in service of current day politics, its so bad that even back then it was called cisquisition and somehow the bald black chick that seems like she was that facescanned black woman that is in so many things was based

One of the worst things about this industry is that no one admits fault. Everyone points the finger at someone or something else. No one ever says, "Yeah, I fucked up. Here's what I'm going to do next time to ensure this doesn't happen again." People do this because they're incentivized to. If anyone admits fault then how can they expect to get funding for the next project? Or keep their job or get hired somewhere else?

>>1176713 Dont be a schizo, the first game didn't have that shit. It had tons of pale people. >>1176446 I recommend playing Adept. Best class.

>>1177070 This the lore for the first game. This was written by Drew Karpyshyn, he wrote the original Mass Effect and its codex. You're in denial.

>>1177070 The singularities that adept uses caused multiple bugs in my game especially the last fight since it just outright ragdolls the final boss

>>1176259 >Kind of hard to build a new brand from the ground up, you know? Only because corporate policies have lowered trust so much. You get a company that makes things people like without bullshit and you can make all kinds of things. Make anti-consumer bullshit and nobody will care about what comes next. From built an empire out of demon's souls, bungie killed theirs with destiny.

Maybe they favsored Mass Effect because it has more than one good game? Dragon Age had a horrible sequel. The "franchise" was over with the release of that sequel.

>Gaider lmao Bioware is down to less than 100 employees now, with EA seemingly having lost faith in them. I don't think there's much "coping" because barely any of the team is still there.

>>1178180 It's probably that mass effect was a shooter than anything else. EA board members vaguely understood gamers like shoot things in the face but couldn't wrap their heads around fantasy stuff.

>>1175743 >DA was trash, because Bioware tried to ride the "inclusivity" gravy train for goodboy points Not actually true. The big decline in quality was between Awakening and DA2, while the big increase in propaganda was between DA2 and DAI. The team first lost the ability to make good games, and then got colonized by an opportunistic infection of activist memes. Something happened internally that broke both their ability to do good work and the memetic immune system keeping them from getting swept up in political fads. The first was visible immediately, the second only became visible once something came along to take advantage of it.

>>1178307 >EA board members vaguely understood gamers like shoot things in the face but couldn't wrap their heads around fantasy stuff. it's easier to market too, especially for a young audience, this is why they are so lenient with BF fucking up.

>>1176266 Wait until you find out about pokemon go or tiktok, the world heavyweight champion of data capture

>>1176206 You know I really hate how names just kinda stick to you on this site. Only now noticed that you still have the name "trench crusade".

>>1179194 The proper name is Ditch Jihad.

>>1179194 It's a bug being worked on

>>1132568 Yup. I enjoyed Monark, so this is definitely on my radar. Getting a full reveal on the 24th, it seems.

In preparation for the Onimusha 2 remaster there is an update for Onimusha 1 going live tomorrow adding "Hell Mode" where you die in one hit. While it's not Genma Onimusha the fact they updated the first game at all is still something. Perhaps they'll keep Genma Onimiusha up their sleeve for a while, and re-release it at another time. There is still plenty of Onimusha games for them to keep re-releasing as the new game is coming out.

Untitled new game from Frogun developer revealed in Top Hat game stream. Full reveal coming summer. I do not like the color scheme: Frogun already suffered from depth perception issues due to overuse of flat colored objects on flat colored world boxes

>Major French retailer FNAC says Switch 2 preorder levels are at a historic level and that accessories are unexpectedly selling very well too https://www.frandroid.com/marques/nintendo/2589119_le-succes-de-la-nintendo-switch-2-est-certain-prix-penurie-jeux-offres-la-fnac-nous-dit-tout-sur-le-lancement They sell the console at the Nintendo MSRP (i.e. €30 more than their competition) and yet they say there could be shortages for those who didn't preorder. I wonder if it's the same in the rest of Europe.

>>1222091 Having just started Hell Difficuty I now realize they added a one hit death mode, in a game with Unskippable cutscenes.

>https://gg.deals/subscription-news/brace-yourself-humble-choice-price-increase-is-coming-this-may/ lol. lmao even

>>1283907 >ign plus im going to throw up a little

Humble bundle hasn't been humble for years. It's far worse than the normal steam deals (not even the seasonal ones just the regular ones).

>>1283907 Just a bad joke at this point.

Apparently Euros and Canucks are getting the price hike, but nothing stated about Burgerland...yet. >IGN Plus What the everloving fuck? if you want to give better benefits, how about... >Stop pulling bullshit like Origin keys and other non-Steam stuff. GOG, Itch etc..are fine as additional options, but they put that Tales of Kenzara: ZAU game on fucking Origin as part of a Choice, despite the game being on Steam. All keys should be Steam by default, and either other options either being in addition or, if necessary, make it like the old days where you chose if you wanted a Steam key or a GOG key or whatever the fuck when claiming it. >Even higher discounts on Humble Store, stop games being "exceptions" that don't support the discount. One benefit of Choice is that you can get a stacking discount (ie for instance, I saw the Ultimate edition of Space Marine 2 on sale the other day for like fucking that gets you above almost anything else legitimate, but it maxes out at 20%. Letting it go higher would be good, but one thing is to stop allowing some publishers to make it lower than it should be for Choice subscriber top tiers; ie capping it at 10%-15% when someone may have 20% unlocked. Fuck off with that shit. Let it go up to 30% or at least 25%, but stop this shit where publishers claim games can't honor the Choice discount above X. >Coupons don 't fucking time out in a month If you're going to give decent coupons on DLC and shit related to a game in Choice, then don't have it only last for a month or so. Let them stack perpetually or at least for like..a year or so? Fuck. >Stop making it so you have to choose between your discount and charity. No, you fuckers are getting a huge tax deduction this way. The least they can do is let people get a certain percentage of every purchase go to charity if set up for that account, AND still have the maximum discount Its a pity that Humble has been fucked over so badly. I remember when they stopped showing the percentages for Linux spending and allowed you to pick what platform you wanted to support, back in the day, when buying a bundle. I would have left Monthly/Choice a long time ago if it wasn't for having the "legacy/classic" subscription and the stacking discount at the Store, not sure if I'd be there. I figure most Choice months are at least worth the... $8-ish I pay for it, but some are definitely weaker than others and aren't often how they used to be where you had shit like >XCOM 2 DELUXE EDITION A MONTH AFTER LAUNCH YOU ARE WELCOME back in the old days.

>IGN+ This is getting retarded now. All these stupid companies keep trying to make their own subscription service and it's never going to work. I don't know why they bother.

>>1284450 because the line must go up and subscription is seen as the grail since it's a steady revenu

>minor news thread all the way on page 24 No wonder faggots couldn't find this.

>>1298805 That explains quite a bit

>>1084676 >roguelike deckbuilder it's aggravating how publishers and advertisers have slapped the "roguelike" label on fucking everything

>>1299079 Roguelike is fine

>>1299343 >>1299079 I hate how they call games Roguelikes that are not at all Roguelikes. Use Roguelite, don't mix in deckbuilder slop in with Cataclysm and DoomRL.

>>1307633 >>1299343 >>1299079 THEN JUST CALL IT RANDOMLY GENERATED instead of slapping a roguelike/roguelite tag on everything

Apparently Ecco and Ecco Tides of Times are getting a remaster by Ed Annunziata and most of the original Hungarian team at Novotrade/Appaloosa. After that they say they're going to work on a completely new game. Shame they're not working on the 3D Dreamcast game Defender of the Future or it's cancelled sequel, Sentinels of the Universe, which I much more deserving of a facelift and mechanics fix. Then again, Ed didn't work on those. Jaws Unleashed 2 never ever https://archive.is/ZBxHn

>>1320367 >>1320372 That's exactly what I'm thinking the Mega Drive games play and look great even today. The 3D one is what's needing a remaster.

>>1323099 Gameplay nowhere to be seen

>>1323099 >gameplay nonexistent >atleast the main characters are a heterosexual couple

>>1323159 >>1323226 The trailer is similar to their official one for V. As for gameplay, it will most likely be more of V's gameplay.What else would you expect?

>>1323226 >atleast the main characters are a heterosexual couple Watch as they make the girl a tranny but disguise it well

>>1323159 Could be worse like that Ark Survival Aquatica or whatever it was called where the entire trailer was just AI generated and fags got so mad that they took it down.

>>1320367 For a lot of games 2D assets were hand drawn first then made into sprites with a quality much lower than the original drawing (pics related being a random example I had handy), so taking those original "master" drawings and scanning them at higher quality would be possible and legitimately a "remaster". The problem is that very few of these assets have survived the decades. Even just building from the original source code, which can easily be qualified as a "master" file, is very unlikely for everything except sixth gen onward games with studio continuity or one-man(ish) projects who personally archived their source code.

>>1323099 Dam bruh dis shit bussin lit fr fr

>>1323309 >The problem is that very few of these assets have survived the decades We may look at this as video game history, but the people creating these were often random employees doodling stuff for reference. In their context, these were uninteresting and completely disposable. In the cases we do still have the original reference work, it's sometimes because they were drawn by professional artists, such as with Dragon Quest. >>1323355 >attempted Discord spoilers Oh, the shame!>> 1323360 AND THEN HE ACCIDENTALLY REPLIED TO HIS DELETED POST, WHAT A SCANDAL

>>1324022 > How poetic that ex-ubisoft developers outshine their former company That's 90% of the companies that branched out from that shithole. Pic related was by the Scott Pilgrim Game devs.

Bungie Plagarism Controversy combined with poor Alpha performance spells bad news for Marathon's release: https://archive.is/HPMms

>>1059719 nah OG and 360 were good

>>1387042 I think the alpha will doom the game more than the plagiarism, the design theft just made people more comfortable in saying "Dude, Marathon kind of sucks". The alpha lost 95% of its already low playerbase by the time it closed, this is especially horrible when you learn it was only active for 11 days. Concord 2.0 is being thrown around a lot and that isn't fair, Concord couldn't even pull 700 players on launch day and Marathon has already done considerably better than that.

Capcom public list of their games that have sold over a million copies is now updated to March 31st 2025. https://web.archive.org/web/20250510150115/https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/business/million.html#tab6 (the list as of last quarter+easy access to prior listings for anyone trying to determine trajectory) https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/business/million.html (current) Numbers are truncated to 100,000 digit, so games that sold 1,999,999 are listed the same as games that sold 1,900,000, and a game could have (theoretically) been at 2,899,999 last quarter, listed as 2.8 mil, and sold only 1 more copy to be listed at 2.9 mil while a game that was at exactly 1 million wouldn't have changed if it sold "old" 99,999 additional copies. >Monster Hunter Wilds is newly listed, though there's only 123 games on both charts and nothing appears to have been bumped off so I'm not sure what happened there >Rise sold another ~half mil >RE4make ~400,000 >Dragon's Dogma 2 sold ~200,000 during first three months of year, <an absolute shitshow for a game that wasn't even a year old and shows just how much they fucked up after riding on the first game's sales <Dragon's Dogma 1 sold ~100,000 on PS4/Xbone and less than 100,000 each on Switch and PC/PS3 (could, theoretically, have outsold DD2 depending on how numbers truncate if both sold 60,000+) >lots of random titles that are pretty old but still up for purchase on PC/Xbone/PS4/PS5/Xbone 2 have gotten ~100,000 like the 10 year old next month Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition, slightly newer DMC HD Collection, Ultra Street Fighter 6, >Resident Evil 7 somehow sold 300,000 more despite how old it is (Was there a sale/PS+ giveaway/bundle?) >>1387042 >Concord was trashfire >Marathon 2025 will be stolen trash fire >Fairgame$ is inevitable trash fire since founder and lead bailed after test build was made >make new western studio to quadruple down on live service

>>1387384 >DMC5 hasn't broke 10 million >Where as RE4:R is 100k away from breaking the ten million mark >RE5 and RE6 took the 11th place spot from DMC5 God damn it, I hate REfags. God damn it

I'm surprised that RE6 on Switch has moved that much units considering it's a port with the same performance issues as on PS3. One of the games I do plan on replaying with the Switch2's BC to see if it fixes things up.

Monster Hunter Wilds Has Lost Players Far, Far Faster Than Monster Hunter World https://archive.ph/wip/01bPk >Monster Hunter Wilds is one of Capcom's most successful games ever. The game launched in a pretty broken state for PC players, and there were some characters that didn't go down too well, but it sold like hot cakes and became one of Steam's most-played games of all time. >Less than three months later, however, players are dropping like flies, seemingly at a rate that is far, far quicker than Monster Hunter: World ever lost them. >Initially, it looked like Monster Hunter Wilds players were sticking with the game for longer than World. A higher percentage of them hit Hunter Rank 100, and more of them hunted 100 large monsters. That could have been a false dawn, though. >According to SteamDB, yesterday, on April 19, Monster Hunter Wilds peaked at 41,101 players, a 97 percent drop from its launch week peak of 1.4 million. In the seven years since its release, Monster Hunter: World has never lost more than 92 percent of its launch week peak, and the game still managed highs of over 26,000 yesterday. >There are a couple of things to consider here. This number only takes into account one of the three major platforms that Monster Hunter Wilds launched on, and Monster Hunter Wilds' peak was far higher than World's, so it had further to fall, but it's still a really sharp drop. >Sadly, things aren't much better for Capcom if we consider Monster Hunter Wilds' average player count, either. In March, the game averaged 378,500 players; over the last 30 days, it's only managed an average of 53,842 players. This represents an 86 percent drop from its launch week peak. >Looking at the game's Steam achievements once again, it does seem like Wilds is managing to captivate the hardcore players, with 36 percent now hitting Hunter Rank 100 and 57 percent hunting 100 large monsters (an increase on when we last checked), but a far higher percentage of players have dropped the game, suggesting something isn't right. >There are likely a few reasons for this, and its 58 percent positive review score, a series low, is a good representation. Last month, Capcom was forced to release a statement regarding a growing number of cheaters in Wildsand it also changed the way quest rewards worked because of this. Despite numerous title updates and hotfixes, many of the game's biggest issues also remained. >It's certainly been a mixed bag for Capcom and Wilds.

>>1059672 Fuck yeah, bringing back MCC development

>>1069065 blogpost but I had this guy's moment but with a gang of niggers psychotherapist when she asked if I liked MLP

>>1059672 Reach came out 15 years ago, everything since has been shit. Halo has went from being the largest piece of entertainment ever to a joke in my lifetime. >>1388430 MCC has so many fundamental problems, I doubt they'd do anything substantial.

>>1388498 Good, we're seeing it with COD too Fuck Microshit, fuck Xbox and fuck their fans. Completely ruined this hobby

>>1388498 Reminder Sonic's dark age was, at worst, 2003's Heroes to 2011's Generations, and even during that period Sonic had good side games. Halo had been bad longer than Sonic.

>>1388498 The PC release introduced a lot of changes. Maybe they'll bring the POS that is 5 to the mcc

I think every Halo game but CE is mediocre shit with 343s game being generic fucking garbage, but at least they were playable. I'd play Halo 4/5/Infinite any day of the week than fucking 06, Dark Brotherhood or The Black Knight. Best Sonic game published by Sega since Adventure 2 was Sonic Mania and that was fans working on that, not Sonic Team.

>>1388524 It's amusing to see people who were kids in the 2000s talk about Cawadoody as it were the peak of the genre. Those COD kiddies are adults now but they never stopped being as annoying. This has been beaten to death on 8chan, but Xbox in general fans are also kind of odd. I don't intend any console war shit because I actually like the original Xbox and parts of the 360's library, but some of their fans act the worst elements of Nintendo's fanbase mixed with faux-macho gamer cringe you used to see on G4. Those former dudebros who never grew past being 19, and still make Xbox their entire personality despite being like 35 now. You have seen these people, with their Xbox avatars and usernames that either feature an obnoxious X in the middle or are based on a Halo reference. These were the fratboy fucks that used to wear fauxhawks and pink polo shirts. Now they're pudgy middle aged gamer dads and for some reason they never stopped that "XBOX NATION" behavior. Despite PlayStation and Nintendo both being much bigger than Xbawcks, I don't see this anywhere to the same degree inside their fanbases. Nintendo's fanbase can also be cringe and very "Nintendo is my personality" based, but without the overt douchiness of Xbox fanboys.

>>1389418 There definitely was something to the dudebro era of games. It wasn't full of fags and trannies, and it was a lot of cool guys who enjoyed playing games but didn't revolve their entire lives around it. Plus there's a lot of reasons to hate on 360-era CoD, but they were fun to play and I'd much rather play those then any modern multiplayer shooter out there. >>1388590 The PC port was broken at launch at wasn't fixed for about 6 months. I'm almost curious to see what they'll fuck up porting it to PS5.

>>1387498 I liked OG 4, but I understand why you wouldn't.

>>1389158 It's audacious they'll try that after corporate admitted fault. >>1387384 Found the reason there can be (at least) one new game on the list with the same count: Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium has been removed from the new count. Not sure why.

We are temporarily disabling the purchase option on Steam while we investigate the matter further. We will keep you informed of the progress of the investigation. Thank you for your patience." >Other Capcom games like Street Fighter x Tekken and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City have also been impacted, with similar messages also displaying on their Steam pages.

<Princess Peach's Voice Actor Has Been Replaced After 18 Years >The release of Super Mario Bros. Wonder in 2023 marked a new era for the character, with the legendary voice actor Charles Martinet officially replaced by Kevin Afghani as Mario. It led to questions at the time about what other voices might be swapped out in the future >While Peach's voice actor Samatha Kelly returned in Princess Peach: Showtime! the following year, it seems she's now been replaced after 18 years. This also includes her role as Toad. According to a post on her Instagram account, the voice actor found out yesterday after Mario Kart World had been released >Samantha Kelly: "Thank you for so many years of friendship and joy. I’m sad that it’s over, I truly would have wanted to voice Peach and Toad forever. Nintendo let me know yesterday that they decided to recast these roles. I’m grateful that I got to do these voices for so many years. Peach and Toad are such strong and beautiful characters that I pray they live forever no matter who voices them. So much love #princesspeach https://archive.ph/r838h

>>1069093 They had the brilliant idea of having a crossovers with RWBY as a desperate attempt to keep their shitty ASSFAGGOTS games relevant, just because Valve got away with My Little Pony cosmetics for Team Fortress and Justin Roiland for Dota 2 doesn't mean every incompetent developer should do something similar instead of fixing their shit. >>1452632 I never gave a shit about the princesses but to my surprise they also replaced Daisy's actress with a spic and Rosalina's probably got replaced for the 4th time, yet all of them sound alike, I guess HIRING narcissistic dykes from social media wouldn't be any different from getting actual actresses, all what they have to do is: >scream >grunt >moan >shout basic expressions <but never read out loud lines.

>>1452632 Not gonna lie, this is a little sad. I was fond of her grunts and noises and stuff. Sounds like it was pretty sudden and not her idea. I wonder what's the scoop at Bintendo, typically Japanese companies rarely replace voice actors?

>>1407490 >batteries bulging This actually happened with my PSP-3000 about a year ago, after it had been sitting for over a decade mostly untouched with the same battery in it. Happened to glance at it one day when cleaning and noticed that the battery cover had popped off on it's own, and the battery pack itself was bulging slightly like in the second pic. Don't know if it had potential to go critical if it had more time to do it's thing. The console itself didn't seem to get damaged visually from the bulging, but I haven't bothered to get a replacement battery yet to check if it still works. Spooky stuff. >>1407532 >This isn't really much of an issue if you can swap the batteries out > isn't really much of an issue Yeah, if you're aware of the issue and the thing doesn't burn your house down in the meantime. This is the first I heard of old handheld batteries going off being a thing, back when it happened to me, I thought mine was a one off thing. The psp battery being the removable kind with it's battery cover lacking screws, being one that pops off with force alone, might have saved me from it going critical though, since it had space to expand. If a lithium battery is confined in a tight space in a device where it's non removable and it ruptures from the building pressure, then I guess a lot more can go wrong real quick.

>>1458187 >I wonder what's the scoop at Bintendo, typically Japanese companies rarely replace voice actors? That mostly applies to Japanese voice actors as English voice actors tend to come and go more frequently. English voice actors for Sonic the Hedgehog have come and gone over the years, but Jun'ichi Kanemaru has been the consistent Japanese voice of the blue hedgehog since his debut in Sonic Adventure back in 1998, when he was 36. As of Sonic X Shadow Generations, he continues to voice Sonic at 62 years old. I also thought of Snake from Metal Gear Solid as another example, since MGSV had Kiefer Sutherland replacing David Hayter as the voice of that Snake, but Konami seems to have brought Hayter back for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Delta. Perhaps they recognized how beloved Hayter’s voice was, especially since his absence in V sparked complaints? On the Japanese side, Akio Ōtsuka has consistently voiced Snake since the vocal debut in Metal Gear Solid in 1998, when he was 39 years old. (He is currently 65.) The Mario series is different because, unlike those examples mentioned earlier, most characters speak English even in the Japanese releases. Since their vocalizations are mostly screams, grunts, moans, and simple exclamations, Nintendo has little reason to cast Japanese voice actors, doing so now might undermine the series’ universal appeal it has been garnering. There was a brief period during the N64 era when Mario Kart 64 featured different voices for the Japanese & American releases. Mario Party 1 and 2 reused some of the Japanese MK64 voice lines for their American and European versions. This could be chalked up to Nintendo experimenting with character portrayals before settling on the universal voice approach that has persisted ever since, which explains why we haven’t seen a repeat of the Mario Kart 64 approach. The Mario series got a big-screen movie recently made by the same studio responsible for the Minions in cooperation with Nintendo & not only changed how the characters were portrayed, but their designs as well. It was topped with widespread praise and box office success. Remember when they changed Peach's face on the boxart of her Showtime game to be more like her appearance in the movie? All of that being said, here's what I think is going on: Nintendo appears to be rebooting the Mario franchise with a fresh new look & is distancing itself from its past eras, only regulating them to nods of nostalgia. Think about it. >the design shift from the original Mario Strikers and Mario Strikers Charged to Mario Strikers: Battle League >Charles Martinet no longer voices Mario >Takashi Nagasako no longer voices Donkey Kong The only holdout from the N64 era is Kazumi Totaka, the voice of Yoshi since Yoshi’s Story in 1997. Totaka has been with Nintendo since 1990 and remains involved not just as Yoshi’s voice, but also as a composer and sound director for Animal Crossing and various Mario titles. Unless something drastic happens, like Totaka’s departure or having "creative disagreements" with Nintendo, I don't expect them to change Yoshi in the same way that Mario & Donkey Kong have.

>>1480086 Posting a screenshot just because. This made me realize that the Japanese voice over isn't an option, and I checked my Steam copy and yeah you can't switch to Japanese VO. You need to use a mod for that on PC. Anyway, it's good that the games are on GoG, I have frequently seen people have issues getting DMC4SE to work on their PC over the years, so this should be a better, more stable version of the game. DMCHD seems to have working Cloud saves too, Capcom never bothered to fix cloud saving on Steam.

https://www.androidauthority.com/sega-retro-games-android-free-3568153/ Sega's is going to delist a bunch of smartphone ports of classic games but made them free to keep if you download them before they're gone.

I heard "Ten in 2010" and "All I Want" for background music but the passenger destinations were generic. For example, the game used "Pizza Parlor" instead of Pizza Hut.

I don't know if they even walked either of those back and I didn't care to find out. Nexus is the fucking Fandom.com of modding.

>>1521194 It's technically not even Nexus anymore, they were JUST RECENTLY bought by another company who has proceeded to do just this, it's like blaming a wiki for its host being bought by (((Fandom))).

Subnautica creators ousted from studio by Krafton. https://archive.is/5Jv91 They were replaced with Steve Papoutsis <who? A guy mostly responsible for dudebro 360 shit like Battlefield, Dead Space, and Medal of Honor. News outlets keep citing him as being high up on The Callisto Protocol, but to his credit he's done a lot more than that. Rumor has it the Subnautica guys were anti-crunch, and this prick (along with a lot of the other Dead Space devs) are infamously pro-crunch. Devs were working 7 day weeks on Callisto Protocol.

>>1522920 Incredible case of failing upwards. Is this a case of weird Korean business shit? He was a C-suite senior dev, so he gets to parasitize other projects when his own bombs?

>>1522920 >Unknown Worlds got ZA/UM'd Never accept an acquisition offer, folks! Investors, shareholders, corpos and the rest will enshittify you to ruin.

Remember Steel Hunters, that mech game with the flashy trailer that turned out to be yet more F2P online shooter shit? Well, it's shutting down after just 98 days. It didn't even manage to escape Early Access. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1691340/view/527598784391155504 Servers will close after October 8th, sometime before that they'll implement end-of-life support so you can still play it P2P with friends. At least I'm guessing, they're a bit vague but that's what it sounds like.

>>1547627 From reading the reviews, it sounds like the devs gave up on it immediately. The game went into beta last year, and launched into early access in April of this year, where they abandoned it completely. One review said the Discord had five pages of unpatched bugs. It dropped below 1000 average CCUs only a few days after launch, and below 100 a week ago. No point throwing good money after bad, they were right to kill it. They should have put more effort into the launch to begin with.

>>1547838 >play game in early access >complain about bugs >leave Why are normies like this?

>>1548731 Stop posting anytime normalfag

>>1548737 no u

>>1547627 >Remember No. Never even heard of it. >>1548731 What is more funny to me is the devs releasing a troubled game into EA, and then being surprised enough by the negative feedback and resulting lack of players to kill the game before it is even in a presentable state for normalfags.

>>1550813 true, I guess it's retards all around then

>>1522920 Krafton put out a statement on this and it's spicy. >However, regrettably, the former leadership abandoned the responsibilities entrusted to them. Subnautica 2 was originally planned for an Early Access launch in early 2024, but the timeline has since been significantly delayed. KRAFTON made multiple requests to Charlie and Max to resume their roles as Game Director and Technical Director, respectively, but both declined to do so. In particular, following the failure of Moonbreaker, KRAFTON asked Charlie to devote himself to the development of Subnautica 2. However, instead of participating in the game development, he chose to focus on a personal film project. >KRAFTON believes that the absence of core leadership has resulted in repeated confusion in direction and significant delays in the overall project schedule. The current Early Access version also falls short in terms of content volume. We are deeply disappointed by the former leadership’s conduct, and above all, we feel a profound sense of betrayal by their failure to honor the trust placed in them by our fans. I have never seen a publisher shit on its former staff so bluntly. Subnautica director Charlie Cleveland fucked off to go be a filmmaker. What is he working on? Some cheap Hallmark-ass Christmas movie, I am not kidding. Here's the website. https://www.abyssal.co/nutmeg-mistletoe Here's the AI generated poster they made for it. This is insane, this is what he abandoned his studio for, this is what he decided to risk being fired over? Krafton didn't even want him to stop making it, they wanted him to put more focus on Subnautica 2 after Moonbreaker flopped, but he decided THIS was his true passion. He had access to so much money, so many artists, so many resources, and he decides to use Midjourney rawgens. The whole website is awful, it reads like Charlie Cleveland became a huge asshole techbro at some point between 2018 and today. He's talking about brining "early access" to movies, he even has a podcast. Can somebody better at writing OPs make a thread for this situation? This is straight up lolcowdom.

Now Cleveland et al are threatening to sue Krafton, this is turning into a very messy situation. >Hello everyone, it continues to be an explosive and surreal time for the Subnautica team and community. None of this is what we wanted. But we truly appreciate the amazing support we’ve gotten from everyone. It means a lot to us, especially now. >As I wrote last week, we know in our souls that the game is ready for Early Access - that’s just how we roll. And we’d like nothing more than for you to play it (game devs live for this). But it’s not currently under our control. >We’ve now filed a lawsuit against Krafton: the details should eventually become (at least mostly) public - you all deserve the full story. Suing a multi-billion dollar company in a painful, public and possibly protracted way was certainly not on my bucket list. But this needs to be made right. Subnautica has been my life’s work and I would never willingly abandon it or the amazing team that has poured their hearts into it. >As for the earnout, the idea that Max, Ted and I wanted to keep it all for ourselves is totally untrue. I’m in this industry because I love it, not for riches. Historically we’ve always shared our profits with the team and did the same when we sold the studio. You can be damned sure we’ll continue with the earnout/bonus as well. They deserve it for all their incredible work trying to get this great game into your hands. Cleveland is doing the usual "you haven't heard the full story" bit without giving the full story. Krafton has already given theirs.

>>1522920 Subnautica 2 is gonna be infested with dei shit anyway. DOA

>>1552852 >but he decided THIS was his true passion Sounds like the guy was burnt out with game dev and wanted to do something else. >doing the usual "you haven't heard the full story" bit without giving the full story Could be a red flag that this is bs, but also could be due to his lawyers advising against speaking publicly about it.

>South Korean video-game publisher Krafton Inc. is delaying the release of the highly anticipated survival game Subnautica 2 just months before it was due to pay a $250 million bonus to the development team. https://archive.is/wip/MCiuH https://archive.md/wip/aaiSF They really did ditch the leadership team and push the game to 2026 just to avoid paying that bonus.
