Recently I was surprised to hear John Linneman at Digital Foundry saying that he didn’t think there’d be much of a market for retro collecting of 360 era games. Folklore came up as a counterpoint.

Resident Evil 8 is available on Stadia.

No, it’s the real world as seen through dashcam footage.

Perhaps it isn’t obvious, but I completely support the rights of adult performers to do what they do, I don’t have a problem with it as long as it’s safe and everyone involved has given coercion-free consent. I just don’t see any reason to pretend that their product is something it’s not.

For a lot of people, games are something they played as a kid and grew out of. For them I can imagine it’s frustrating to watch someone get so engrossed in something so “dumb”.

My assumption is that it’s deliberate: by denying pornographers concrete limits they’re trying to curtail the proliferation of edge-case games that are permissible according to the letter of Valve’s specifications, but still obviously pornography.

you’re still going to require a PS4 Eye and PlayStation Move Motion Controllers

I assumed that once the CRTs were gone I’d be free of the retro thing. Instead what happened was that I bought another CRT. I wish you better fortitude.

stuff is up 50-300% over the last year alone. It’s been something to watch.

The ultimate Famicom loyalist took their name from a pirate Famicom game? That’s kind of ironic.

I read the first chapter or so of the Manga after a recommendation from a friend, “it’s not what it looks like on the cover” was his take. The art was really nicely done, but the blatant sexualising of that character in that scene was an immediate nope out for me. I’d be amazed if that managed to slip past ratings…

It’s such a weird mishmash of anthro styles it almost reminds me of Jim Woodring’s stuff in that “oh, so... it’s a cat-dog-rabbit” kind of way.

Is there a generally agreed “best” version of Flashback? From back in the day I mean, not modern ports. Or is it all trade-offs on performance, resolution, colour palletes, etc?

“Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity”, as my accountant friend once told me.

Articles like this keep me coming back to Kotaku. Fascinating stuff.

There’s also an Ultimate Director’s Cut. Both on cdromance, if anyone was wondering where to find these.

I got interrupted half way through the timed demo on the PS4, and missed the rest. Now just played through on PC, timer disabled - it’s just one file, easily found through the links in this article. It’s what a demo should be: me making my own way through the content, not herded by some BS FOMO timer.

You’re not missing much. I check in on CoD games maybe once every four years or so, and each time I come away just a bit disappointed.
