I’m squinting really hard and having trouble seeing how this looks even remotely like Octopath Traveler. I guess they both have medieval-ish settings? Is that it?

Eye of Judgment: The Revenge!

Welp, there goes any sympathy I had.

Get ready for the apologists guys, you’ll eventually encounter some of them around.

Yeah. It's a bit strange to see this written about like some technological marvel when it's just the same basic chroma keying I remember doing in video production classes in the 90s.

I’ve always considered Princess Mononoke to be the closest thing we have (or need) to a Legend of Zelda movie.  

A ton. As said in a very old article:

The concept sounds eerily familiar to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance:

“YouTube did seemingly make a final determination on the video’s age-restricted status last night on October 30.”

this article comes from the future

The original Hellraiser was gender-flipped. This one is respecting the original design.

I think you’re out of your mind if you think they can get something like the PS5/Xbox Series S down to handheld size, adding in the screen, speakers, batteries, etc. and still somehow selling it for $300. 

That’s a lot of power in that small of a system. Consider how big the Steam Deck is and it is basically a base PS4 in power and starts at $400, while running the SOC at 15 watts. I’m not sure the tech is there yet to shrink a Series S to that level of performance to power, at least for anything in an affordable price…

I do wish he’d stayed a couple years more and kept Nomura on the leash... Maybe Kingdom Hearts II and later wouldn’t have gone off the deep end in deep, incomprehensible lore.

I love how no one is detecting the sarcasm.

what im getting from this is that in order to see more behind the scenes footage of game development and a better understanding on how triple a games are produced, we need to generate takes so nightmarishly bad that developers will have no choice but to dunk on them

Ok. So, now that this is happening, surely this means that the next “Sega didn’t publish a few games during this era into English” game to get remade is Valkyria Chronicles 3, right? Like, a proper one? Not just the fan translation job?

Fitness Boxing of the North Star sounds lit.

Nah, MS was definitely the aggressor for the 360/PS3 generation. They paid $50 million for timed exclusivity on the GTA4 DLC. They paid for permanent exclusivity on the Tomb Raider: Underworld DLC. They paid for timed exclusivity on CoD DLC. Sony was trying to present itself as the more consumer-friendly option with fr…

Sure, except the goal of exclusivity isn’t to maximize revenue from the exclusive game. If that was the goal, they would make it multiplatform instead. No, the goal of exclusivity is user acquisition for the platform that owns the exclusive. MS wants to sell more Xboxes and it wants more people paying for XBLG and…

As much as I hate the push for exclusives as a consumer, the Playstation boss can get stuffed. They spent the entire PS4 cycle locking their ecosystem down as hard as possible so nobody could even play with people that owned the same game on other platforms, and they still maintain a strategy of pushing for PS…
