Reminds me of when someone asked Shaq why he did Kazaam, and he replied that he grew up poor so when someone comes to him and gives him $6 million to star in a movie, of course he’s gonna say yes.
Yeah, it seems to bounce around Peacock, Hulu, and Netflix a lot, so keep an eye out!
The juxtapostion of the final scene with the old mob casinos being razed for the flashy tourist trap places is 100% Marty subtext about directors of the auteur era no longer having that complete freedom.
It took me some time, but I love it now and will put it on often. The first hour in particular that covers the ins and outs of running a casino and the skims is brilliant and fascinating.
Not gonna lie, I’d absolutely watch a Donkey movie. Eddie was always my favorite part of those movies.
I think there’s absolutely something to not spreading the IP too thin. I’m a little behind on the Marvel Studios and Star Wars shows/canon cause I just needed a BREAK, you know?
Top Gun Maverick is literally the Death Star attack and trench run spread over two hours, but with fighter jets instead of spaceships.
I think it’s just important to remember there’s a lot more moviegoing populace than someone like folks here on the Gizmodoverse (like myself) who hang out on the io9 and AVC boards all day. The industry swore Scott Pilgrim was gonna be a big breakout hit because it had a lot of buzz coming out of Comic-Con then only…
Someone here made a great analogy: Marvel/SW movies and shows are like a “residence” that wants to eat up all your free time, and a James Cameron movie every so often is more like a “vacation” where you can just get a beautiful spectacle that doesn’t ask you to supplement it with watching 20 other things before and…
Yeah, the best way to approach the controls and mechanics is basically learning to strafe left and right into position for the auto-aim to snap on the closest target, as opposed to trying to move while freely aiming like a modern FPS. You have to work with the 1997 of it.
If I picked up today cold, I wouldn’t like it. But as a kid of 1997, it’s still one of my all time favorite games. Yeah it’s janky in that 1997 way, but the kind where if you’ve played it enough to sear in your memory, you know how to work with it (kinda like an old car that needs the right touch to turn on). If you…
Good looking out, I totally forgot about the ability to remap the controller wholesale on the system. The default layout was enough to get me through the first couple of stages, but it also took an adjustment period around the muscle memory of a normal dual stick shooter
From the stories on the subject in recent years, the big hang-up was 007 IP owners EON. Apparently, Microsoft, Rare, and Nintendo all had handshake deals for GoldenEye ports as they have a generally good rapport (see: Banjo and Kazooie in Smash), but EON has a hard-and-fast rule where they don’t want to sign off on…
I wouldn’t pay NSO just for that either, but I will say the N64 lineup is getting pretty stacked now to where that and the Mario Kart 8 DLC tracks have made my money worth it in the end. I’m pretty happy with it (despite the Genesis lineup on NSO being outright terrible, but it’s not a deal-breaker for me since I…
Played through the first few levels on Switch. While not a true 1:1 dual stick setup, I will say it feels good to have the former C-button mapping on a right stick now.
There’s something about a polished, beautiful, well crafted remake of a classic that always gets me. My brain WANTS to go “shouldn’t you want NEW games?!” but I loved THPS 1+2, and Spyro Reignited, and Link’s Awakening, and the REmakes, etc.
I haven’t heard GripeBomb but that’s great
