I keep seeing walls and other surfaces that are un-inked by the end of a match, which those pesky rollers couldn’t touch if they wanted to. A lot of my near-matches came down to how many walls we inked. While others are focused on killing, it can be really helpful to just work on gaining unclaimed territory. Those are…

Piko has announced plans to finish Glover 2. So, I’m not surprised they didn’t want to sell the rights to the game they were already making.

I’m glad it’s not just me. Of course, I think the mustache has become emblematic of a rushed production and effects job, where all of the money in the world couldn’t return good results without actual development time. The mustache has become a symbol of the weird color choices, chintzy alien effects, generated…

I honestly wonder if that is what is keeping Twin Galaxies in the news / relevant. I love them, I love the concept, and I wish them well. But Billy Mitchell actually breaking the Donkey Kong high score got nowhere near as much press as the controversy surrounding it.

Does anyone know how much of a development budget could be expected for a single-restaurant exclusive arcade title? Under the old pricing model of 5,000 a unit, and there being 106 Dave and Busters, that would come out to a total budget of just 530,000, and a development budget of maybe 265,000. That’s *maybe* a team…

Why not have a GPS with an intended speed indicator on a separate device? Waze will if you’re over the speed limit on a given road.

Just take a standard tablet, setup geofences to change the displayed estimated speed, and blink the whole thing rapidly if the actual speed is above the intended speed. It wouldn’t take…

You could always replace the rotating drum with an LCD shutter, like the old shutter glasses. The blinker could be “on” when the fluid is injected into the light, and blink off temporarily due to the LCD shutter closing it off.

Of course, my personal suggestion would be to re-route a gasoline-like fluid to a separate…

Cops arriving, even with wrong information, should always make a situation safer. They’re supposed to be better than this. They’re trained to assess and de-escalate situations, and most do a great job of it.

But in this case, an innocent man is dead due to someone calling the cops on them. If we accept that the caller…

If the resistance ships were lighter and faster than the First Order ships, why didn’t they get away? Are First Order ships like Mario Kart characters, and go a little faster but only when they’re far behind?

Does it count as augmented reality if the images are all faked 3d mockups on top of real photos?

I barely used horses in my initial playthrough. But now that I’m exploring and looking for all of the shrines, I find myself parachuting into an area, intentionally landing near a horse, breaking it, riding it to my destination, and leaving it behind. I know you’re supposed to form a long-term loving relationship with…

This is kind of a non-response. I’ve worked on quite a few games that offer the “pick whatever” form of gameplay. Early on (I think my 4th game in the industry), we had a game with 7 or 8 modes, playable 3 different ways, with 50 or 60 pieces of content, and 1-4 player options. Our players, who were pretty dedicated…

It was “not possible” to get the cost of the Juicero down to $200? How about: it ignores wifi, optical barcodes, and everything else, and a roller squeezes the juice out from the top down. That should probably cost about $40.

The problem is that even at $40, it’s too much. They deliver juice... at between $7 and $10…

“modern” visuals? As much as this is a day-1 purchase for me, these are clearly PS Vita level visuals. The original Secret of Mana had shockingly rich, ridiculously detailed pixel art that was basically the best of the time. This looks like a texture up-rez of a minimalist Playstation 1 game.

I’ve always thought it was a shame that Street Fighter’s 20-hour play level is “I can do all of the moves, and have some idea of how they’re done.” Competition level players have no problem pulling off basically anything. But why make that a barrier to on-ramping? If it’s not supposed to be the meat of the…

I think the fear is the criminal will get to your gun before you do. My neighbor had his house broken into and his gun stolen while he slept. Thankfully the criminal just wanted the gun and left him sleeping. But if it were a smart gun (which the criminal wasn’t familiar with), and the criminal wanted to use it…

Honestly, the part that seems surprising is the scale of the price differences. Normally I’d expect a $1 - $10 difference in A/B testing. A $30 difference says to me that they really had no idea what the ballpark value of this movie tie-in was.

SNK made a few of the best baseball games of all time. Super Baseball 2020 was one of the best if not the best arcade baseball games. And Baseball Stars was definitely the best deep baseball training sim on the NES (it was years ahead of its time). I’m glad to see SNK baseball games get the love they deserve.

I’d tend to agree. I find a NES AV signal to be chunky enough with large enough pixels that an HDMI version is pointless. “oh look, those giant square things that aren’t supposed to be squares have an *ever* so slight blur on the edges.” SNES... gets into territory where sharper is nicer. But the pixels on the NES…
