they really gotta do away with this Nintendo direct baby toy narration. I'm getting so sick of hearing the same four formulaic sentences over and over. VERB, VERB, AND VERB YOUR WAY THROUGH NOUN DEFEAT NOUN AND EARN NOUN never describing gameplay, but describing the scenario my eyes already see

I think my viewpoint has matured over time because I realized my issue wasn't actually remakes themselves but more so the two elements of 1. too many coming out at once 2. people online talking about them in really stupid ways it's important to approach these topics with a level of nuance

do u see the vision

Wait is it finally happening?

In my day, if our blorbos didn't get the subplot we wanted, we WROTE FANFICTION ABOUT IT and, critically, didn't harass the creators about it.

this is what i mean when i say that konami's doing a lot of onboarding too and training them to make mgs games long after the remaining veterans are gone (hence delta). and pragmata was also entirely by a team of younger staff. japan is clearly doing a lot better currently at fostering new talent.

3) This is not the start of a pandemic. I get it. There is something irresistibly cinematic about mysterious deaths on a cruise ship in the middle of the Atlantic. But in reality this is just a terrifying experience for almost 150 people who went on a cruise and, it looks like, got very unlucky.

The skateboard mini game from Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance still lives rent free in my mind...🐍🛹 #metalgearsolid #mgs #mgs2

Can somebody explain whats going on with the Sony DRM stuff?

Pragmata discourse is kinda the end point of a problem I've noticed for many years and that's how everyone online seems overly determined to announce that they are definitely not a pedophile to the point they think kids just shouldn't be seen or acknowledged in any way ever

The difficult thing is that you need to be both pretentious about art so you can have serious stimulating talks about it and also you need to be able to enjoy good "low" art without being pretentious about it, but also without letting just any slop in. Did we ever find a way to balance this out

too many people cannot separate “this character is charismatic and well acted” from “this character is therefore correct” lotta bad guys are cool! they’re still bad!

AI is dying, repost to make it die faster.

The perfect moment for this was 7th gen when Pacman Championship edition and the Space Invaders DX happened it is 15 years too late now for Q

Resident Evil 4 was another game I really didn’t see any point in remaking, but still enjoyed for how it made itself a separate experience. I don’t think it is inherently bad to enjoy remakes or anything, I just don’t think they should be championed as needing to exist for every single game ever.

Seeing people cheer on a potential Ocarina of Time remake is so indicative of the current culture. “Ocarina of Time 3D was over 15 years ago, we’re due for a remake.” Just make it more available, we have 3DS ports on Switch already! The resources spent on a remake could be for something original.

The issue isn't the crossovers themselves, it's the fact that they no longer really interact with each other, you know the POINT OF A CROSSOVER!

Childhood is wanting to go to Hogwarts yourself and be a wizard. Adulthood is realizing that Ankh-Morporks Unseen University is the superior magical institution. They even build their own PC and got an Orang-Utan. Don't see that in the other franchise now do I?

I ain't pomni, I'm feeling caine I got zooble, on the brain I'm gangle, but not for long My kinger, is coming on

Character that fulfills so many stereotypes you can’t tell what race he is supposed to offend

The idea corporations are colluding to require everybody to stream to devices instead of own hardware is very silly. They are not doing that, they are just incredibly stupid.

Give me 6 months unpaid & I'll get them to drop the word Bandai from their name, bring back the proper logo, make Pacman wear a Tyrolean hat at all times, get Dirt Fox on Arcade Archives, have Pooka recognised as the true Namco mascot, reissue arcade PCBs & commission a 50 player Galaxian 4 building

i think game companies that are using AI for voices because paying people for their work is "so hard" should take a note from '90s era Midway or Rareware Pulling someone from the dev team and having them voice your blorbo is both cheaper AND infinitely more charming than some genAI slop voice

The Plan: get 100 guys to register as indie developers all contributing to Gang of Dragon

Chainsaw Man fans freaking the fuck out and Fujimoto just leaving his life. Good for him, enjoy that beaver movie

Yesterday, the KIDS Act has Passed the E&C, and soon will be pushing into the house! This is a combination of KOSA, SCREEN Act, App Store Accountability Act, and other bills into one package. Contact your Reps, and tell them to OPPOSE these bills! Stay strong, and fight for your rights and privacy!

The gaming industry really just needs to crash already.

saddest part about the games industry right now is that the profit expectation is so high we can't let game 1 be ass anymore. game 1 has to be jank and then game 2 is pretty good then game 3 revolutionizes the landscape thats how it goes but now its just game 1, every game is game 1 forever

The worst thing about Deadpool and Wolverine is that everything that was supposed to just be a joke about multiverse shenanigans turned into plot expectations for the rest of the MCU because MCU people take every little crumb way too seriously

Resident evil 7 still looks amazing despite some fuzzy textures. Like who cares about making every texture clean af or hair be as smooth and anti-aliased as possible. That shit is for dumb people who need an easy to understand reason something is "better" that doesn't involve actually playing it

can't imagine ever needing a console more powerful than base Ps5. Everything loads fast, has supergraphics, and runs 60 Objectively at a point where fidelity cannot matter further. Making a Ps6 is straight up pretend. Same shit cars have been doing for years, fake upgrades to make us spend money

RE9 hitting 5 million sales in 5 days is fucking amazing. Especially since I was told several years ago by an exec that single-player games were dead 🤔

Calling Army of Darkness an "isekai" feels kinda trolly but it does fundamentally understand something that most of the genre doesn't, which is that watching someone being a complete fuckup who everyone hates is way more entertaining than generic hypercompetent fantasy hero #5000

Beautiful if true.

Forced to use AI at work, hate it. Usage is monitored so I can't avoid it. I've set up mine to play a Sim City clone. It burns through tokens, making crap cities that quickly go bankrupt. Just been told that I'm getting a bonus for being a top user.

One day this stupid thing will work.

THREAD: Whenever imperialist governments go to war, they become more authoritarian at home. That makes censorship bills like KOSA, ID checks, and attacks on Section 230 even more dangerous. Online protest, documenting war crimes, even news articles could be suppressed. www.badinternetbills.com

as someone who really really enjoys having different takes on media, I've realized it makes me really sensitive to when a different take isn't gaining anything from being different

I do wonder if the 'we haven't made a game in forever so now there's an entire generation that doesn't know who we are' thing is gonna happen to GTA6. It's so hard to tell what the actual player base of GTA5 was since it was given away free so many times and also 90% of its' sales are just fake
