>>1052251 >Final Fantasy VII Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi has asked players to err away from engaging with “offensive or inappropriate” mods when the game finally hits the PC platform early next year. Producer Naoki Yoshida asserted, “The only thing I will say is that we definitely don’t want to say anything offensive or inappropriate,” he added, “so please don’t make or install anything like that.” Why would Hamaguchi and Yoshida even ask? You can't stop porn mods, it's like standing on railroad tracks and politely asking the oncoming train to halt.

>>1052220 >I doubt it. I think a Mega Man 12 relatively early on the next generation of consoles may happen so they can let it slow burn, but the Capcom leaks were open to giving generic names to games ("Onimusha new work") and it would be weird for them to title it 対戦, then translate that title to English and use it for Nvidia testing. What Mega Man game do you think The Amazon's Secret Lair show's credits imply? I heard about Rockman Taisen before, what's that all about? What's the chance of Mega Man Legends 3 or another canceled Mega Man game from https://megaman.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Cancelled_media?

Earlier this week it was reported that 4 of Idea Factory upcoming titles would are no longer releasing in western eshop due to "guidelines compliance issues due to content". As implied NoA/NoE guidelines have became drastically stricter towards 3rd party games as with Death end Request is already censored and still releasing on Sony platforms. NoJ on the other hand is still releasing these titles on their platforms with no problems. Upon further digging it was found that these rejections have been occuring since the beginning of the year starting with Yuuna and the Hotspring. Affected games found so far: >Tokyo Clanpool publisher is only mentioning an Asian release for the Switch >Prison Princess Trapped Allure disappeared from the western eShop one day before release, no comment has been provided that I know of >Neptunia Rebirth Trilogy "guidelines compliance issues due to content" cited as the reason >Death end request Z "Guidelines compliance issues due to content" cited as the reason, censored Sony version is getting a western release funnily enough >DAYMARE: 1994 Italian spooky game, literally zero reasons are known >Redneg Allstars Blocked by NoA and NoE due to "expression restrictions" >Amairo Chocolate No reason given, publisher simply apologized over it. >The Fox Awaits Me HANA Western release cancelled, no reason provided >Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs Western release cancelled, but released on playstation and steam (content status unknown) >Night to meet Chu! Western release nowhere to be found despite already being out on Steam >Sakura melody Previous games were all Switch exclusive, now not on Switch and instead on PS despite censorship. "it was a weird year and we don't know what happened" cited as the reason by the devs >Christmas Massacre Western made game, blocked from a Nintendo release entirely >Kanon May have been quietly blocked from releasing in the west, developer randomly released an update for the Japanese version that added English as an option >What can I do Contact NoJ https://support-jp.nintendo.com/app/ask_opinion and help get word out in normalfag spaces

>>1052320 Rejections? Mostly regional releases and canceled games, which happened in gaming since gaming started, claimed as "rejections" with no proof. Idea Factory DOES claim rejections for Idea Factory's games, which are in your list, and while that's minor news, the thread discussed it. Idea Factory's claims appear dubious: >>1052111 >An insider who personally ships titles on the Nintendo Switch and has worked closely with the European and North American branches of Nintendo weighed in. Fanboys are blaming the wrong people. It's likely a paperwork and software issue (click for more) >>1052211 >Paperwork or something like paperwork explains everything perfectly unlike other explanations. Explains "the submission processes for the Switch platform are highly specialized, and you need specialists to focus on the port. The studio may have lost staff." Explains this page for the Hyperdimension Neptunia game, still up on nintendo.com. If Nintendo rejected it, Nintendo would have taken down the page. https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/Hyperdimension-Neptunia-Re-Birth2-SISTERS-GENERATION-2572423.html Explains why Idea Factory's vague and refuses to cite which elements of the Nintendo Guidelines Hyperdimension Neptunia violates. Explains insider reports of no censorship. Explains many more studios not reporting censorship for content compliance (censored not canceled, games get canceled for hundreds of reasons), despite zealous investigations by Nintendo opponents. Idea Factory's the "exception." Explains why all three Switch Neptunia: Re;Birth games were supposed to debut in Europe on May 21, 2024, then the day before launch, Idea Factory International said it wouldn't happen, with no explanation. You don't discover "it violates guidelines" a day before launch. Explains Nintendo's lack of censorship for 7-8 years. There's no reason to assume censorship policy changes in or out of Nintendo. Nintendo outside Japan can be lame but jumping to condemn this time is either shitposters shifting sentiments by avalanching words to deny then depose what, to /v/, is a big Nintendo plus (lack of censorship), or the poor IQ of our Central and South Americans to deepthroat, defend, and run with (((headlines in gaming journalism))) no questions asked. You can go on eShop right now and still see recent rated-M games with risque sexual content were published, like Anime Girls: Lovely loli. Do contact Nintendo for clarification through your https://support-jp.nintendo.com/app/ask_opinion form or others, though. I suggest support@noa.nintendo.com.

Oops, I quoted 1 post twice instead of the two. No big deal though, I pasted the right text.

What the hell are you doing /v/? You just killed another studio! People's jobs are at stake! >According to sources in contact with CBC Radio Canada, WB Montreal Canada announced the elimination of 99 internal jobs during a staff meeting. The sources allege that the layoffs targeted the quality assurance team that helped to work on the poorly received Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. >While there has been no official confirmation on the layoff reports at WB Games Montreal, many are speculating that the poor performance of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League forced the studio to make these cutbacks. >After Rocksteady announced staff layoffs earlier this year in response to the struggles of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, many worried that others involved in the development of the title may also face financial repercussions.

>>1052347 Truly we live in an unpredictable industry! I wonder why this happened

The sources are all >tweets but the long-rumored TES4: Oblivion remake is reportedly being announced next month during the January Xbox Direct. We first heard of this back in 2020, it's a remake in UE5 by Virtuos. It's using the same core game logic apparently? Not much is actually known about it or the scope despite how long it's been understood to exist.

>>1052424 If true, Bethesda is either going to shut down Skyblivion close to release, or get massively upstaged by it. Either way is a fucking disaster.

>>1052424 >it's a remake in UE5 by Virtuos Considering how technologically backwards Bethesda is, if they were to remake the game, it would have been in Unreal Engine 3, maybe 4, if they got some help from other studios. Jokes aside, it will be interesting to see how the game will function in UE5, and how well it can handle a Bethesda style game, with all the NPCs and schedules.

Tokyo Clanpool is out but they removed the rubbing minigame on all version. Yet another game cucked by westoid kiddie riders.

>>1052433 Text: ELDER SCROLLS OBLIVION REMAKE COULD BE REVEALED NEXT MONTH, IT'S CLAIMED The long-anticipated remake of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion could be revealed next month. According to leaker Extas1s, not only is The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake real, but Xbox could announce the game at an Xbox Direct event in January. Not only could it be announced next month, but the game could be released sometime in 2025. According to previous rumors, the remake is being developed by Virtuos and is being built in Unreal Engine 5. Those rumors also hinted at a 2025 release for the game. If you recall, the first word of a remake or remaster of the game came during the FTC's investigation into Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. At the time, the documents revealed the game was expectd during fiscal year 2022, but that, obviously, never came to be. Since then, nothing has been said publicly by Microsoft or Bethesda on its status. As with every rumor, please take the information with a grain of salt until it's officially confirmed or Insider Gaming can independently verify the information.

>>1052438 >Considering how technologically backwards Bethesda is, if they were to remake the game, it would have been in Unreal Engine 3, maybe 4, if they got some help from other studios. Jokes aside, it will be interesting to see how the game will function in UE5, and how well it can handle a Bethesda style game, with all the NPCs and schedules. Is Unreal Engine 3 more optimized than Unreal Engine 5 for performance since Unreal Engine 3 had to perform on worse hardware or does Unreal Engine 5 optimize Unreal Engine 3 if the same game is produced in Unreal Engine 3 and Unreal Engine 5?

>>1052452 It's less about optimization, and more about the features that an engine provides, with modern engines, providing new functions and technologies, that previous engines did not have. As an example, the DOOM engine runs on older hardware than the Unreal 1 engine, but only one of them can make actual 3D levels with actual 3D movements/camera. Plus, old engines might not be compatible with modern hardware, or even software like DirectX 12. Yes, the DOOM engine has been ported on almost everything, but that is mostly because it's open source and there is a large community dedicated in porting the game.

>>1052446 >Oblivion remake

>>1052474 Why not? Remakes are the easy money makers, especially if your latest releases are failing miserably. Retards who can't enough of it will buy it and morons who don't want to play old games because it gives them the ick will jump on it since they recognise the name. And since they can't milk Skyrim any further, give it an even fresher coat of paint, rebrand, repackage and rerelease baby.

>>1052446 >long-anticipated >long-anticipated >long-anticipated Did an AI write this?

>>1052479 If you read the earlier posts you'd know this project has been known about for at least four years.

>>1052446 Doesn't matter how good the remake is if they don't fix the level scaling and stat progression being completely fucked due to myriad factors (biggest probably being the rework to training). Worst parts about Oblivion and a remake that doesn't fix this shit would probably just slap the nostalgia goggles off and make people hate the game rather than do any good.

>>1052320 Semirelated, but the latest thread about this on cuckchan's /v/ has been deleted by one of the jannies: https://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/697718474/ Also, new thread attempts seem to be deleted before they're even archived according to this anon: https://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/697769984/#q697776086

>>1052333 >>1052514 Probably because Snoys are aggressively spamming a billion times a few canceled games like they're censored games to samefag "Nintendo and Sony have switched places," ridiculous given >>1051474 / >>1051476. Idea Factory appears to claim rejections from >>1052333 but the claim's unverified and >>1052333 lists a billion reasons to doubt it.

>>1052519 Luciano, if Alyssa Mercante is bad and Jewish it doesn't mean it's always Jews or all Jews are bad. Your "alls" make facts (many Jews) sound insane (all Jews).

>>1052521 This shit too. Women should have fewer rights but "women are objects" makes that sound insane. Your shit hurts "your cause" so "your cause" is probably for woke.

>>1052525 A Soynic the Hedgehog 4 movie's in the works? MFW! I'll check /interracial/ for those big black updates!

It smells like cuckchan in here

>>1052446 >Remaking a game people can already "remake" with mode to their hearts content

>>1052531 Oblivion is a deeply broken game, it's arguably the TES most deserving of a remake. You might notice people bringing up the level scaling, that's because levelling "backwards", i.e. reversing the order of your major and minor skills so you never level up, is the best way to minmax the game. Your most important skills will be maxed out while your character stays level 1, making all of the enemies scale to level 1. This turns your character into a hurricane of death, completing breaking the game as it spawns weak, low-level enemies for a max skill character. The opposite of this is true. If you play Oblivion the "right" way, it's entirely possible to end up with a character who's actually weaker than they were at level 1, comparatively. It's common for poorly built late-game characters to have difficulty killing even random wildlife. While there are many problems with Oblivion, generally this is agreed to be the worst.

>>1052458 >It's less about optimization, and more about the features that an engine provides, with modern engines, providing new functions and technologies, that previous engines did not have. As an example, the DOOM engine runs on older hardware than the Unreal 1 engine, but only one of them can make actual 3D levels with actual 3D movements/camera. Plus, old engines might not be compatible with modern hardware, or even software like DirectX 12. Yes, the DOOM engine has been ported on almost everything, but that is mostly because it's open source and there is a large community dedicated in porting the game. But if you port Unreal Engine 3 games to Unreal Engine 5, changing nothing, do those games go faster, or go slower?

>>1052535 That's just one small part of the leveling problem. You still have to level up, otherwise you get locked out of content, such as Deadric Quests, equipment, and some enemies will probably never spawn if you are at level 1. Plus, you can't level up too many of your skills, before leveling up, otherwise you won't gain as many attribute bonuses, when you level up. If you are min-maxing, this means that you might have to take off your heavy armor, at some point, because you have already leveled Heavy Armor 9 times, and don't want to overlevel it and loose attribute points. So yes, in a game about raising your skills, you can end up raising them too fast. >>1052537 From a quick google search there doesn't seem to be a way of porting UE3 to UE5, but there is a way to port from 4 to 5, but that seems to be more of a conversion tool that tries to convert your UE4 game into 5, so I doubt it would be any more efficient, as you are relying on a computer program to interpret your code. Furthermore, now that you ported to an engine that requires better hardware, it won't work on as many computers as an UE4 game. Again, imagine porting DOOM on the Unreal 1 engine. You now have a game that is truly 3D, and as such won't work on as many computers as the original DOOM did, even if it's mostly the same code and assets, even if you keep the pseudo 3D rendering that the original DOOM had, it still has 3D libraries to load, that need specific hardware.

>>1052525 I just came back from 3, it was kinda shit.

>>1052537 Probably slower (assuming the same hardware). >>1052535 So, the level system is broken in a similar manner to Final Fantasy 8?

Restitched, an extremely "not-LittleBigPlanet" game, was just announced. Looks fun! Being on PC and not being tied down to 256MB of RAM could be a huge boon, the big issue I see is how weird the movement looks. It's like there's negative acceleration being applied.

>>1052243 >Sex worker Anon, stop using their terms. She is a whore. Plain and simple. Just like how there are no faggoty genders. God only created males and females.

>>1053888 Needed a LBP clone that's actually decent. If this launches without any fuss, it could be a very fun staple platformer on PC. And since it's modern and all that, it could be very easy to update with more complex features. In the original LBP, it always irked me with the level size limits, and how water worked. Here it doesn't look like water is as good, so I'm hoping that they improve how water plays for the final release. (Would be real awesome if they allowed for submarine builds or water-worlds like in LBP.)

Time magazine has named Dragon Age: The Veilguard as the Game of the Year for its' (((perfection))) time.com/7199868/best-video-games-2024/ >Between Elder Scrolls and Baldur’s Gate 3, there’s been no shortage of great high-fantasy RPGs to play. It had been a decade since Dragon Age: Inquisition, and despite an incredible run for developer BioWare, their last decade was marred by the canceled game Shadow Realms, the disappointing Mass Effect: Andromeda, and a disastrous foray into MMOs with Anthem. There was reason to wonder if BioWare still had the sauce to return to Dragon Age. Boy, did they ever. Dragon Age: The Veilguard comes out swinging, and BioWare clearly had something to prove. >First, hats off to what has to be the most advanced character creation system ever brought to video games. It’s possible to spend hours just fine-tuning the look of your character as everything from bone structure to tissue placement is considered from every angle. The character creator is also fully inclusive, not only in terms of race but also gender in its inclusion of nonbinary pronouns and flexibility with physical characteristics like hairstyles. Before the game even begins, there’s an effort to make The Veilguard feel personal and truly put the gamer behind the character. >If there’s a single word to describe Dragon Age: The Veilguard that signifies its place as TIME’s game of the year it would be: fulfilling.

>>1053972 I don't think anyone goes to Time magazine for game recommendations, especially nowadays.

Freedom Wars remaster released yesterday on Steam with 57% rating primarily due to crashes, optimization, addition of EAC and the TTS on AI characters. Barely any marketing put on this so I expect Bamco to want this dead and buried as quickly as possible.

Apparently there's a big fire or something in Los Angeles and I'm thinking thank god Rockstar didn't set GTA VI in Los Santos instead of V or they'd probably have to delay the game another year to remove everything having anything to do with fires.

Lunar Silver Star & Eternal Blue are getting a remaster and finally being put on Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3255380/LUNAR_Remastered_Collection/ Without an English dub however. Why is that? Well, apparently the rights to Lunar in the states belong to one Victor Ireland. He's had the rights since 1996 and has wanted payment based on per copy of a game sold instead of a lump payment. He's held the original english VA recordings of Lunar since and was approached for the remaster but apparently said "Pay me per copy" again. This is all hearsay but yes, the copyright around the Lunar series is this messy. https://steamcommunity.com/app/3255380/discussions/0/4629231220481383187/

>>1060970 The pages you linked both said there's an English dub, but it's a new one. Remains to be seen if the translation is the same. I want a Magic School remaster. That needs the master quality FMVs and unfucked English translation to be released. I don't if they even still exist.

>>1061731 Bear in mind, the game is easy as fuck Still very fun, but if you're expecting a challenge, don't. It's more about being as OP as possible and downright breaking the game.

>>1061822 Any possibility of Team Ladybug releasing a hard mode patch?

>>1061455 Looks like a fun and stylish game. And it feels refreshing, in a way, to see a cool and capable male protagonist. He even has a female humanoid companion. Could just be my perspective, but the market seems to be oversaturated with female protags these days. All the practice Team Ladybug has gotten from developing their other titles seems to be paying off. Though this game is published by PLAYISM so that's disappointing.

>>1060996 >>1061005 It will be just like cable tv. Acquisitions all the way, subscriptions all the time, and suddenly, everything is the same, made by studios under the same boss, getting the same orders. It will be total sterile product assembly line.

>>1061455 translated those lines from the other thread. image one is en 'original', image two is the jp original, image three is the machine translated jp ver.

>>1063075 So overall, it seems like the JP original was way more ambiguous and less charged, as I suspected. >Oh no! Good old-fashioned male-dominated society, huh? <Bah! Sounds like patriarchical garbage to me. >I may be a woman but I'm just as good as any man out there. <I may be a woman, but I can fight just as well as any men around here. >Peace One is a free organization. And of course, we don't discriminate between demons and humans either. <The Peacemakers are a free people. We don't split hairs about gender.

The JP original has the protag noncommitally say "eh why not, I'll make an exception, doesn't really affect me," like a parent towards a child wanting to be a celebrity, and it's much more clear the woman is a brat who can't exactly be trusted to assess herself accurately, the lowcowlulzation inserts lines and words not present in the original script to make the protag more of a limp cuck who wants to be an "ally." Not going to dispute people who avoid the game due to this, but it just goes to show how important tonality is and why lowcowlulizers like to manufacture context to remove and destroy it.

>>1063891 What is going on with Ram in that pic? That's yaoi artist perspective if I've ever seen it.

>>1063893 Everything in Guilty Queer must be gay forever now apparently.

>>1063899 I will forever be amazed how one game did so much irreversible damage to a series. How in the fuck did the series go from a love letter to heavy metal to an asylum for the mentally ill?

>>1063893 And how would you know a yaoi perspective, anon?

>>1063927 The signs were already there with Xturd, but it was nice seeing Guilty Gear back again after like 7 years with pretty much radio license on the IP. Strive was inexcusable and their new fanbase is the biggest cancer on par with Personafags.

>>1063927 By throwing it all away and pandering to the mentally ill plus chinks.

https://sonyinteractive.com/en/news/blog/ted-price-announces-retirement/ Personally I'm happy he's gone considering he made one of the best second party developers into a capeshit slopfest by the end of his term

>>1064042 Wasn't he around since the start, though? It's not a Naughty Dog situation where a guy who never even worked on their classic games became the head of everything and ruined it.

>>1064076 Yeah, that's the weird thing isn't it?

>>1064076 His credits from Mobygames.

>>1064042 >he made one of the best second party developers into a capeshit slopfest by the end of his term Not only that, the Mile Morales, glorified DLC, somehow cost more than the original game to make. That's one of the clearest signs of AAA devs being completely mismanaged.

>>1064102 >Miles Morales cost more than the base game Jesus Christ, this guy HAD to go.

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/01/sega-launches-its-own-free-account-service-with-unique-member-rewards Sega is now offering "free" accounts with their games going forward. How long till a Persona title is only available via an account like Rockstar is with GTA?

Hogwarts Legacy getting Official Mod Support on January 30th https://www.dsogaming.com/news/hogwarts-legacy-gets-official-pc-modding-support/ Rise of the Ronin PC port releasing in March 11th https://www.dsogaming.com/news/rise-of-the-ronin-hits-pc-on-march-11th-gets-pc-requirements/

>>1065554 That's pretty good stuff

>>1065602 >Rise of the Ronin Is that game any good?

>>1065669 >vid related I'm still going to pirate it but there's a reason you didn't hear about it until now, and it was meant to be a big PS exclusive too.

>>1065714 Anything specific? I know it' suppose to be sort of open world Nioh (but not really Nioh) or something like that.

>>1065669 It's meh, and the team burnt public appeal with the excretable pronoun garbage of Wu Long. Still one less PS5 exclusive. I think the only ones PS5 exclusives (not PSVR) that have actually been released are Astro's Playroom (literal pack-in tech demo), Astrobot, Destruction AllStars (an indie game with no content), Quantum Error ("Quantum Error received "generally unfavorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. Metacritic listed it the fourth worst game of 2023"), and a few DL titles that don't even have Wikipedia pages. >>1065602 I'm surprised they're still working on it. Still don't care with the tranny apologist and MODERN AUDIENCES demographics shit.

>>1064310 It's been five days and you haven't talked about it :^)

For those who care, it seems Sony Japan are back in control of PlayStation. SIE's new President and CEO is Hideaki Nishino, a longtime executive at the Japanese branch. The western execs like Hulst now report to him. https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/News/Press/202501/25-007E/ As for President Nishino himself, it sounds like he has more of a business background than vidya. Usually I'd say that's a bad thing, but considering their insane 12 GaaS push (which included Concord), maybe they need an honest-to-god beancounter heading things.

The lead dev of the Fallout Mod: Neuvo Mexico posted his address to Discord and is now getting deported by ICE. It was also cancelled. https://www.eurogamer.net/ambitious-fallout-nuevo-mexico-mod-cancelled-to-prioritise-developers-mental-health-and-face-reality

>>1066401 It's only a matter of time.

>>1066401 But what does Brisn Fargo think of this?

>>1066401 >>1066402 >>1066403 >images from 4chan of twitter and discord screenshots You're telling me an illegal Mexican is actively being raided by ICE, so he goes to his computer, opens Discord, and types about it? And the only source is some random troll account on shitter with not even 70 tweets? Anons stop being so gullible holy shit, Warlockracy is fucking RUSSIAN

>>1066408 It probably happened, since ICE is actively raiding a lot of illegal Mexicans. Opening Discord and typing about it, people act stupid in panic.

>>1066401 The guy in the first image is an ethnic Ukrainian from Russia, who as far as I know still lives in Russia. That is not Zapshock/Urias, who is claimed to be getting deported. This story may or may not be true, there's been no official comment from Zap or anybody else from the team yet, but I've seen a lot of confusion and misreporting (thanks, foxdicks!) surrounding this part. These are different people.

>>1066411 This is the face of anarcho communism!

>>1066408 >>1066410 TR Watchdog aren't saying he's getting deported, they responded to him and everybody seemed to misinterpreted that they were talking about him. They're actually talking about Zapshock, an infamous shithead in the Fallout community. Even if he did write those posts, it's entirely possible he's lying to cover himself "nooo I'm getting deported I can't do anything nooo :(((" the guy is such an ass he'd actually pull that. He's been on and off canceling the project for months.

>>1066421 No U

>>1066424 That's a spambot.

>Shit stirrer is back Damn, been a while since the bot posted something!

So the ENTIRE Veilguard writing team was just laid off, including many other Bioware employees after a wave of layoffs. https://archive.is/XvgUU For they tried awhile to pretend this game wasn't a sales disaster, but it's gone beyond the point of reasonable doubt. After EA openly admitted it sold poorly, I've seen the discussions all shift.

>>1066441 I wonder if Bioware will finally be shuttered.

>>1066441 >layoffs included 20-year Bioware veterans, including the writer of Tali'Zorah This will probably become a big story, from the sound of it they gutted studio hard.

*the studio

>>1066444 They will most likely keep the Bioware name, but guy out most of the old guard and replace them with the best of the best H1B1 visa holders. >Mass Effect 4 will be about a young Batarian trying to find work on a human colony, after the Reapers destroyed Khar'shan. Will be he be able to integrate in this alien civilization, and prove that Batarians are just as good as Humans?

>>1066454 Unironically I would actually love for mass effect to have more playable species. Shame the rest of the game is going to be shit.

>>1066470 I wanna play a bitch with a fat ass and watch that trunk junk hop. 2B or not 2B, don't give a damn about the question.

>>1066454 >the best H1B1 visa holders Oh no, Bioware is a Canadian company. Canada's equivalent allows in the absolute dredges who don't even meet the H1B1 requirements (usually due to the degree not being university). >>1066441 Wow. I expected they'd be kept around till the next Mass Effect failed or had to have development rebooted (effectively a cancellation for the current incarnation).

>>1066158 I hope this goes well. >>1066401 >shitskin modmaker who fucks over the original mod gets deported to live with la raza >>1066411 >ethnic Ukrainian from Russia Redundant. >>1066496 Are those AI-generated descriptions? They're written in an obtuse way with glaring logic errors (i.e. calling Sonora nostalgic when this is the first non-MTL English translation). Why does the homepage not detail that the DLC is translated too?

>>1066401 He sadly, did not get deported.

>>1066411 I'd suck his BWC

>>1066607 You gay motherfucker

>>1066158 >maybe they need an honest-to-god beancounter heading things. At least a beancounter will look at >ugly man faced women >no cleavage >no cute girls >shitting on established continuities out of spite >race swaps >trannies in a tranny fatigued market and go "This won't make any money. Stop it." I don't like beancounters because they will screw us over for other reasons Konami says hi, but in the situation that we're in with the creative side of entertainment screwing things over to force propaganda or out of spite or envy you need someone on the business side to have a heavy hand. Best case would be all the gender fluid studies majors in HR to get their pinkslips and the games get turned over to the game dev autists with a simple order to "Make money, or else", like in the good old days before 9/11.

>>1066698 Konami saved Metal Gear from being further ruined by Hackjima. They are heroes.

>>1066703 metal gear survive sweep

>>1066819 >Fred Durst has it in his contract that he must appear in any anime that licenses his music That's bullshit, and I don't believe it.

>>1066819 Well whatever the fuck netflix is making with that jeet isn't anime so it looks like Fred Durst-ification of it is limited to the opening

>>1066819 >Fred Durst?! I would encode this normally but Ima lazy so have a bad ffmpeg trim.

>>1066819 >Created by Adi Shankar >Animated by Studio Mir >Studio Mir Co., Ltd. (Korean: 주식회사 스튜디오 미르; RR: Jusikhoesa Seutyudio Mireu) is a South Korean animation studio based in Seoul. <anime STOP CALLING BURGER/POO + GOOK TOONS ANIME YOU NIGGERS

>>1067253 Anon, a lot of anime productions offload some of the grunt work to Worst Korea and West Taiwan.

>>1067255 Doesn't matter. There's no Japanese creative staff doing the actual direction or writing or storyboarding, ergo, this is just more netflix cartoon trash with a Japanese IP attached to it, like Castlevania. Not anime in the slightest.

>>1067253 No Reuben either.

>>1067255 Normally I would agree with you, however as far as I can tell, Studio Mir, has never been contracted by a Japanese firm to make "anime". The closest is Gosu from Toei Animation, but that still doesn't have a release date, and it's an adaptation of a Korean manga comic.

>>1055418 >>1055358 as the internet becomes smaller and more "mainstream" all the content on it will have to cater to normal fags and the "modern audience". moral fags are just anther part of that Venn diagram. shit like marvel rivals is still "safe horny" china gaas slop. peni parker is an off limits character (because asian+teen is always borderline), and most normal fags only know her from the fist (((sony))) Spider-Verse movie where she's an anime kid parody)

>>1067505 >shit like marvel rivals is still "safe horny" Is that why guys are getting told by their girlfriends to stop playing it?

>>1067512 outside of a few screeching harpy feminists forcing some closeted gays and cucks. I doubt its much of a problem... unless you have real numbers or more info?

>>1067505 Nobody knew or cared about Peni Parker before the movie anyway. Not an important character in the comics.

>>1067606 I thought the character was specifically made for the movie.

==HOLY SHIT GUYS NEW BATTLEFIELD GAME INCOMING GET HYPE!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>>1067612 So when's EA going the way of Ubisoft?

>>1067613 That's going to take a while, their sports games still print them money because European poorfag retards, mudshits, niggers and spics love that shit. They're also not terrible at managing money unlike Ubishart.

>>1067614 >their sports games still print them money because European poorfag retards, mudshits, niggers and spics love that shit. Imagine unironically believing this kind of shit lmao, EA right now is maintained thanks to You mutts dumbfucks with NBA and NFL, fucking EA Sports was a disaster so fucking atrocious that it even revived eFootball, and that fucking Game was already dead less than one year after it got out, it even got some drastical discounts 2 months after it went online

>>1067615 I thought Take Two currently has the NBA rights, maybe you're thinking of Madden.

>>1067615 >NBA and NFL He mentioned niggers and spics.

>>1067617 >Spics playing some meme Sports Game that isnt footy Lmao, i'll take the niggers one, Tho >>1067616 Yup, that's the One, i honestly don't care too much besides the fact that a considerable portion of the money EA gets, come from those 2

>>1067615 >Madden and NFL They don't make 10% of what FIFA FC Sports you cockmongling retard. >Calling me an Amerimutt Take that back you piece of shit, I'm purebred Alberto.

>>1067606 No, she was considered the most interesting thing about the Spider-Verse event (which was otherwise awful because it was about Dan Slott's OC DOnut steal edgelords from Earth 0 killing beloved characters than actually being about the random Spider-Man variants) long before the movie. Also the oddity of the My Chemical Romance singer having made her, because ALL of the stuff from Marvel that people actually like since August 2007 has been made by freelancers and was awful whenever someone internal did anything with them (Sumerak and Gurihiru Power Pack, Peni as already mentioned, Dr. McNinja's Christ Hastings and Gurihiru taking Gwen Poole from "literally just a costume and name" to an actual character) or was bringing back old talent to write something that took place in old canon.

>>1067645 >Spider-Verse >long before the movie That was already after Marvel went straight to shit in the 2010s. You might as well say Kamala Khan was "popular" "long before the movie." She was invented in an era where Marvel was devising new ways to make their readership of 0 somehow go into negative numbers. Nobody actually read these stories except to make fun of them on Youtube.

>>1067646 >That was already after Marvel went straight to shit in the 2010s The post you're replying to literally mentions nothing made by Marvel internally after OMD was good.

>>1067666 Yeah, but it also began with "no," as if attempting to refute my claim that the character was never cared about by comics readers. Due to the timeframe, that remains true. The only reason comics readers even care about Kamala Khan, for example, is because she is ragebait. Since Peni Parker wasn't (at least successful) ragebait, nobody cared at all.

All I know is that Peni Parker is a big love letter to mecha anime and she's cute, so I like her even if she is attached to capeshit.

Age of Mythology and Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition coming to PS5 https://archive.is/djX6x https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP6312-PPSA18653_00-0498321349758666 Do you think there will even be a new Xbox console at this point? When Halo makes the jump it's going to be fucking hilarious!

>>1068020 As shitty as Microsoft is, I don't want the console industry to be a duopoly.

>>1068021 I'd rather it be a duopoly than Microsoft existing in the medium at all! Look at all the cancer they pushed in 2 decades and a half. Shit, the industry might as well have been a duopoly considering Sega couldn't even compete once Sony entered the race.

>>1068023 This. We basically had a duopoly in the late '90s, and that was the best era for vidya.

>>1068029 In America we had a duopoly with Sega and Nintendo, but in Japan Sega wasn't very successful and it was mostly just Nintendo, NEC and a few other companies. I can't remember all sharing different slices of the pie at the time. Not to mention also computers and micro computers enjoying their own Renaissance at that time. Like the PC-98, Plus arcades were still going strong at the time as well. So in theory there was actually plenty of competition. In this era the hardware really doesn't matter. It's just everybody trying to sell their digital stores to everybody, it's Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and valve. (All hardware these days are just x86 or arm boxes with no real custom chips to differentiate them, ps3, 360, and wii are probably the last actual game consoles)

>>1068034 >In this era the hardware really doesn't matter. Bullshit, the Switch is selling like hotcakes by just being a videogame console with actual exclusives. It might be Tegra Tablet with Nintendo branding running on ARM but hey it's something different than the other 2 piece of shit locked down PCs. And I say this as a PCfag with no interest on either the Switch or the Switch 2.

>>1068035 >hardware doesn't matter <bullshit >proceeds to outline exactly why hardware doesn't matter ???

>>1068038 It does, it offers something completely different from desktop PCs, until the Steamy Dick became a thing at least.

>>1068035 >>1068038 Oh, I probably should have mentioned Google and apple are also trying to sell their stores and hardware to everybody as well. But neither of them really care about video games. So all that's just an afterthought for them. The switch is just an Nvidia shield tablet, at one time Nvidia wanted to create their own exclusive games for their hardware but none of that ever really caught on. Not to mention they even had Mario Galaxy and a few other Nintendo titles running on a set-top box they had created for other Asian markets. The only reason we don't have ports of Nintendo games on other systems is because Japanese people are very stubborn and set in their ways, Nintendo has experimented with putting games on Android and I think Apple stores but I haven't paid too much attention to any of that outside of the super Mario runner I played a little while ago. Exclusive titles don't make anything a console, all of the ecosystems have their own exclusive titles from Apple, and Google and even valve with steam (remember the steam exclusivity logo?). Nintendo and Sega and even NEC had ports of games across all three of their consoles. The thing that made the consoles unique was their custom hardware chips. As far as I know, nothing that comes out today has any kind of real custom hardware because it would be too expensive to bother with something like that. The most you might get is some kind of weird exclusive feature of the GPU like Nvidia has tried to pull with its game works bullshit or AMD with the tress effects.

>>1068034 >ps3, 360, and wii are probably the last actual game consoles All of those consoles & the Wii U are based on PowerPC

>>1068043 That's true, they were all based on the power PC architecture but all of the processors were still custom built purpose. CPUs that had never been used in any other products or other hardware (outside of I think Sony's own blade servers with regards to the cell processor).

>>1068040 90% of Nintendo's success is from their walled garden. 10% of it is the form factor of their console.

>>1068045 >90% of Nintendo's success is from their walled garden. I can emulate all their shit right now, their success is from brand legacy and marketing that super hard.

>>1068044 >CPUs that had never been used in any other products or other hardware Gekko, Broadway, & Espresso are all modified PowerPC 750 CPUs. That is why you're able to play Gamecube games flawlessly on the Wii & (unofficially) the Wii U. The same PowerPC 750 CPU has also been used in apple's iMac G3 family.

>>1068035 True, I mostly play Switch and because: >selling like hotcakes by just being a videogame console with actual exclusives. Switch has the last remaining exclusives, all I care about. The average comment here (not average commenter, due to samefags) acts like people want hardware more but from sales, most aren't hardware enthusiasts. Many Switch games emulated on PC or Steam Deck run shit VS Switch because emulation's hungrier than native code. It's said plenty, commenters know it, but repeat the reverse until believed. Switch talk here's not honest so I mostly ignore it, rather play exclusives than argue bullshitters.

to bring back on the topic of news thread https://support.nintendo.com/jp/information/2025/0130.html >Nintendo just announced a change impacting payment methods on the Nintendo eShop and the My Nintendo Store in Japan. Starting March 25th, you will no longer be able to use foreign credit cards or PayPal account opened outside Japan to buy anything. Only credit cards issued in Japan, and PayPal accounts created in Japan, will be accepted. Of course, pre-paid eShop cards will still be useable, as this isn't a full region-lock. >Officially, this is to prevent 'fradulent use" of the eShop / Store. >Now this won't be news to most people around here seeing that tons of foreign credit cards are banned already, but up until now, said cards COULD still be used if your country of residence didn't have its own eShop. From March 25th, this will change and ALL foreign cards will be banned, regardless of whether there's a Nintendo eShop in your country or not. Prepaid cards still remain the main option though

>>1068055 A lot of popular switch games run better emulated than they do on the switch itself if you have powerful enough hardware. But yes, it's obviously going to be a more seamless consistent experience on the console itself.

>>1068062 I have a powerful computer, that is a lot more than the price of a Switch, and I emulate the Switch. Many popular Switch games run with worse stability and frame pacing than on Switch. This was true for games I emulated like Astral Chain, Bayonetta 3, Splatoon 2, Splatoon 3, Super Mario 3D World: Bowser's Fury, Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

>>1068051 I didn't realize that Nintendo didn't ask for any customizations whatsoever, I knew the chips in the GameCube and we were basically the same though for backward compatibility. There's an interview with Lisa Sue from AMD talking about how she was part of the IBM team that worked on the Sony cell project. She made it sound like they were stressed out and the customizations seemed pretty extensive, especially compared to what the team working on the Xbox 360 processor was up. I also remember hearing that the graphics chip (and CPU) in the Nintendo Wii was pretty much just the same thing from the GameCube just clocked up with no real additions to the customization they already did.

>>1068064 Frame pacing issues usually means something is wrong with graphic settings. If the emulator doesn't normally experience that, I remember the PS2 emulator had terrible frame pacing issues that had to be adjusted with vsync settings in the driver for a while. I think that's mostly been fixed though.

>>1068064 >>1068068 No, nothing's wrong with my graphics settings. I guarantee my computer's more powerful than yours, and got 2/3 speed emulating some of those Switch games after adjusting graphics settings for best frame pacing. They run with worse stability and frame pacing than on Switch. >>1068055 >Many Switch games emulated on PC or Steam Deck run shit VS Switch because emulation's hungrier than native code. It's said plenty, commenters know it, but repeat the reverse until believed. Switch talk here's not honest so I mostly ignore it, rather play exclusives than argue bullshitters. I see what you mean about "Switch talk here's not honest."

>>1068064 Good for you, I can run Diablo 3 emulated on hardware that is older than the switch faster than it runs natively.

>>1068061 So basically business as usual.

>>1068070 >No, nothing's wrong with my graphics settings. I guarantee my computer's more powerful than yours, and got 2/3 speed emulating some of those Switch games after adjusting graphics settings for best frame pacing. They run with worse stability and frame pacing than on Switch. >I see what you mean about "Switch talk here's not honest." Benefit of the doubt is computer unsavvy instead of not honest, lot of Third World posters here Generalizing PS2 emulation and Diablo 2 emulation to Switch emulation when those released in 2000 and run on toasters Some people don't understand much

>>1068078 He's talking about PS2 emulation, come on man. There's no benefit of the doubt with console wars acting like discussion or news.

What the fuck, EA? Why ask this to play Battlefield's beta? "Non-Binary / Genderqueer / Gender fluid"?

>>1068079 >>1068075 Some people aren't as sensitive to frame pacing and micro stutters as other people are so that could be what's going on, just like some people can't see the rainbow artifact from DLP displays, while other people can't even look at them without throwing up. I'm personally pretty sensitive to frame rate inconsistencies so I think I would notice, but I haven't bothered with switch emulation yet. >>1068061 So what are people going to do if they want to buy things in japan? How are we going to buy Japanese goods / games with all this credit card fuckery going on?

>>1068021 Competition makes everyone try harder, duopolies are shitty for everyone, if you like MS or don't. >>1068082 Soon you'll be required to answer these, then to cut your cock off to access special game settings.

>>1068089 Why do people count mobile out of the oligopoly? It's not 2005, Google and Apple are rich off gaming apps.

>>1068092 Different market, shit like Candy Crush isn't for the audience of Elden Ring.

>>1068094 What about balatro and fortnite :^)

>>1068099 Kinda like Halo/COD, mostly just retarded normalfags who play that and only that and nothing else along with overlap from people who play a variety of videgoames, from retards that play anything that's popular to streamers and online only fags.

>>1068082 So, in other words, they want to know if you have mental illness or are a nigger so they give you preferential treatment. Gotcha.

>>1067607 fucking idiot

>>1067668 the only way Peni would have been ragebait is if she were black or gay, and she was literally made to appeal to otaku weebs that found evangelion tier shit deep. the way she was introduced, she couldn't ever be any form of rage bait.

>>1068372 She could have been rage bait for people that hate anime, also remember they often introduce characters with features that people like, only to completely subvert them and destroy them later (in Western entertainment anyway).

>>1068082 EA CEO believe Veilguard failed because the lack of live-service

>>1068380 people that hate anime don't read comics and when they do, they don't mind it because anime isn't as character murdering as having aids or saying "i'm non-binary" if that's the only reason you think people would hate on Peni then you are wrong. >AI Enjoyer based.

>>1068380 >also remember they often introduce characters with features that people like, only to completely subvert them and destroy them later I'm pretty sure that was the plan. Originally in the script they were going to kill her off in the first movie.

>>1068499 >Originally in the script they were going to kill her off in the first movie Why the fuck does Pedowood and /co/fags hate anime so much?

>>1068524 Because live action pays more cali commies. The 2024 videogame flops would happen if a serious effort was made at calinime.

>>1068082 >not aswering won't disqualify you <next screen >to ensure we have a diverse mix of respondents Niggers tell you this has no consequences then tell you they will choose their testers based on diversity, fucking faggots.

>>1068082 >>1068089 >>1068268 >>1068533 Wait a second, I just realized, couldn't someone file a lawsuit against EA for even ASKING about demographic information the way that they are? >>1068387 I don't think he "believes" it, more like an excuse to cover his ass.

>>1068387 Hopefully they keep making more GAAS trash Easier to filter their shit

>>1068387 hes right. hes so right. EA needs fourty sven more GAAyS right now go right now upload it to the cloud go activate

>>1067505 >as the internet becomes smaller and more "mainstream" all the content on it will have to cater to normal fags and the "modern audience". i am still holding out hope that all the big boys will collapse under there own weight and trump turning off the money tap and we can go back to the old internet.

>>1068628 >we can go back to the old internet That won't happen unfortunately even moreso when one of his biggest supporters literally owns Twitter now. At most you'll get some more freedom in those mainstream websites and that's a big "IF". I honestly think the internet is fucked until some new tech trend comes out or advertisers get smart over the amount of stats that are simply bloated by bots. That and Cloudfare being burned to the ground

>>1068499 >Originally in the script they were going to kill her off in the first movie. source?

>>1068638 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4633694/trivia/?ref_=tt_dyk_trv >Originally, Peni was going to die along with SP//DR, but this was deemed too brutal for a "kids movie," so she survived the destruction of her mech.

>>1068642 makes sense, the first concept animatic of the movie showed 1610 peter being vaporized by the collider and then his grave would show that he was only 18 when he died, basically saying Peter had only been Spider-Man for 2 years.

>>1068393 >people that hate anime don't read comics Wrong, most comics people I've seen online have an autistic hatred of anime.

>>1068628 >and we can go back to the old internet. The clearnet is dead and buried, only downhill from here. What we can do, however, is try to grow and promote the darkweb. Your onions, your freenets, your i2ps, the like.

https://archive.fo/FGO0S Hi-Rez is ded >Hi-Rez is ending development for the first Smite, Paladins, and Rogue Company. >Smite 2 is the focus of Hi-Rez's "newly streamlined operations," though developers on that title are also said to have been laid off. The public message further explained the three older games will remain playable for the forseeable future, even as "no further major updates are currently planned." >Hayzer, a Smite contract creator, also claims the layoffs have impacted 50-60 developers. At time of writing, Hi-Rez has not responded to our request for comment. Serves them right for ruining Tribes.

>>1069089 And nothing of value was lost.

>>1069089 They're not actually dead for any anons who won't read past the headline. They're not far off it, though. Major layoffs and they're abandoning most of their games.

>>1068524 >>1068499 The entire Spider-Verse comic event was Dan Slott killing of random old versions of Spider-Man in an attempt to make his edgelord vampire OCs from earth 0 seem cooler.

Something tells me I'm gonna hear some more yapping about "video game addiction and violence" in the following days. Then again, the reason why makes my blood boil. In France, a guy with a prior history of extreme anger issues and rackettering killed a 11-year-old girl. Stabbed her several dozens of times. He just confessed after the police found his DNA on the body. The reason? Murderer declared he lost a Fortnite game and couldn't handle the following banter, so he went out to racket someone with his knife "to vent", found the kid and proceeded to drag her into the woods, but when she started screaming as he robbed her, he "panicked" and killed her. The confession has been revealed by the prosecution to the press just minutes ago. Here are several articles about it (In French): Murder of Louise, 11: The Suspect, Owen L. Has Confessed https://archive.is/rjaIS Murder of Louise: Main Suspect Confessed to Crime During Police Custody https://archive.is/2KkgX Murder of Louise: VideoGames to Blame?

Warner is striking Minecraft vids by claiming music they don't have rights for. They're making the Minecraft movie. https://www.yewtu.be/watch?v=ANA-DxHwC2E

>>1070723 Video games do cause violence if you're a retarded sandnigger.

>>1070723 The fact there are no pictures of the murderer tells me he might be a sandnigger.

>>1070728 The default image that pops into my head when I hear french is a sandnigger regardless of what the story is about.

>>1070725 Well the guy is named "Owen". A Frenchman with an Anglo name is obviously some delinquent with a deadbeat family who never handled their kid properly and didn't throw him to the psych ward or the cops the moment he started commiting acts of armed robbery to underage kids several years ago, and I know what I'm talking about because every single Frog I knew with an Anglo name was a form of cunt. Then again, that can also be a fake name to not reveal him to the public, he could very well be named "Omar". >>1070728 I only found this blurred picture right now. Not a sandnig from the looks of it, but definitely an "Americanized Frog Wigger" type of nigger who most likely worships the gangsta niggers he listens to on some shitty rap radio, I was accustomed to this type of nigger back in middle school. Notice the "Frog Nigger" slangs written in this Tiktok screenshot that I cannot translate, because I never cared for such vocabulary.

>>1070729 The default image that pops into my head is the teacher's head freshly cut by a sandnigger with a face diaper still on. The punk was merely pretending to be dead. >>1070731 Even when blurred you can tell he has more nigger than wigger in him. Probably some mistery meat mutt.

>>1070731 >Not a sandnig from the looks of it That kid's not white, if that's him he's not white.

>>1070732 >Probably some mistery meat mutt. You're not that far off the mark, you can tell he's a mutt of the soul, with that nigger jacket and that nigger haircut, you can smell the only "culture" he appreciates is centered about niggers and sandniggers, he worships the lifestyle of niggers, and probably is among the nigger worshippers who want to welcome more niggers in the country instead of booting them out like an ever increasing majority of France wants to. >>1070734 is right, even if we can trace this nigger's bloodline up to 1400 and only find a pure white French ancestry, it is impossible to consider this nigger any form of white. He is an empty white, he has gone hollow, barely 60 souls on kill.

>>1070739 We can all look at him and see his not-white phenotype anon, your paragraphs won't change that.
