Why? Because of Samus’ expression (not really the stoic/intimidating look that I’d picture)? The size of her Power Suit (the suit is supposed to be bigger than that if she wants to fit in it)?

OK that makes sense. I think VoiceOver was built-in since the original iPhone but I didn’t know about the Speak Screen function.

I’m not a Pocket user but doesn’t triple-clicking the Home button activate VoiceOver on iOS?

Castle in the Sky is the best.

But tablets and smartphones, which are driving the most web traffic and app usage, are mostly used vertically.

Exactly. It looks like a remake of a PS1 game with better textures.

We knew he had health issues but damn. With all Nintendo went through lately...

I honestly don’t think spite was involved in this decision. These last few years Konami has been moving to a micro-transaction, mobile-only F2P model, and clearly Metal Gear and Kojima Studios don’t fit into their “vision.”

It’s probably how she does it too.

Born way before that and the original Super Mario Kart blow all the sequels away (except for the 4-player part).

A handheld game console that’s too expensive, doesn’t have enough games and eat through batteries like they’re going out of style. Mmm... I wonder why it failed.

I see what you mean. It looks indeed look like a bigger scale Tomb Raider (2013) and now that I think of it, some of the more open levels from Uncharted 3.

I haven’t played Uncharted 4 so it’s hard to tell if it’s as “open” as other open-world games, but this seems more limited by the character abilities (they can’t jump or pilot an airplane) than by the game world itself. So while it may not be as open as the best open world game ever (Just Cause 2) it looks very…

I got into comics with John Byrne’s run on the X-Men and Fantastic Four and it’s really saddening to see Marvel cancel these series.

The new (and probably last) Uncharted seems to be fairly open world while all previous Uncharted were mostly designed as systems of corridors. This seems like a huge difference to me.

Releasing the console in Japan about a year after the US and Europe probably didn’t help either. When you add the higher price and a bunch of features irrelevant to the Japanese market (Kinect and US centric TV features) they really had their work cut out for them.

In terms of console at least, the Japanese market has been shrinking for the last 15 years. Even if you only look at PS4 figures, Japan install base is barely over 5% of the global market (for comparison, 40% of the PS4 install base is in the US).

Vice City is easily the one I spent the most time in and from discussing with friends it seems that it’s the favorite game of the series for everyone else born between the mid ‘60s to late ‘70s.

HairWorks is far from perfect in terms of how realistic it looks, but that realtime tech demo from 2015 still looks exponentially more realistic than the pre-rendered CG from 1995 (that’s the intro movie from Tekken 2 on the original PlayStation).

A lot of workplaces disable Bluetooth but allow non-storage USB devices.
