hooked up my launch xbone the other day to play some phantasy star online and check out outer wilds (i have gamepass ultimate from PC) and i was horrified with the performance of both games. PSO is almost 10 years old so that was a little more shocking, but outer wilds was also pretty unplayable - felt like it was…

Yea I don’t disagree at all but it’s still crazy for an 8 year old game that was never exactly the cutting edge to begin with 

i’m shocked by how poor the performance is on OG xbone. game has lots of frame drops and pop in. it looks like my team was just teleporting around the map at some points.

just another observation from watching that video - ai upscaling does weird stuff to faces in some frames, like you can see a “meshing” effect (not sure what to call it) in a lot frames.

lately it’s been amazing me how my childhood brain filled in the gaps and this kind of stuff looked so awesome as a kid lol. ff7 remake demo really got me thinking about that.

definitely felt like how i imagined ff7 in my head as a 6th grade kid. i’m so on board the hype train, i am just full out fanboying for this, and that’s ok.

Go see sonic the hedgehog in theaters

can you show me on the doll where fortnite touched you?

speaking of weird examples, i think one piece is another sort of exception - in that it’s source material is still ongoing in the original manga form and it’s one of the biggest properties in the industry. i think there is a big aspect of cross promotion going on (i’ve heard that a lot of anime adaptations only get…

i absolutely appreciate anime as a unique medium for that reason. no argument from me there. i still don’t agree with this other guys point of a remake diluting the source material / other adaptations to such an extreme degree.

i’m really not this personally invested in the whole thing? to answer your question, i actually think the anime Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo is the best version of the story to boot lol.

these make a lot of sense when you compare it to other 13 inch computers that can actually do a little heavy lifting. honestly i’ve always viewed them as the windows-machine answer to macbooks. the entry level macbooks are still 2k and won’t run most games.

that’s entirely hypothetical. i think taika would have done something cool for sure. and if it turns out to be a dud, i still have the books and anime, and can go on with my life in a world where there are 2 versions i love and one i don’t.

Kind of disappointed so many people are against another adaptation. The source material and original film aren't going anywhere. 

something about media molecule’s brand of whimsy just completely doesn’t land with me? it looks pretty good though i can’t deny.

the games like 20 years old almost. what a lame excuse lol.

the first game was wonderful. the sequel was missing something for me though, and i wouldn’t have finished it if i wasn’t invested in the story. 

compared to halo maybe?

just a little side comment, opening an action game with at this pace (a literal crawl) kind of infuriates me. it really turned me off from the game in general. had a sour taste in my mouth from start, and the game never really pulled me over the hump into really loving it like the new order. game felt more like a…

nice
