Haha, this is like the opposite to Luke’s Animal Crossing experience with his kids. https://kotaku.com/my-kids-are-fucking-up-my-animal-crossing-island-1842851190

Same, didn’t look interesting at all. Looked goofy, childish and shallow.

I got to play it for a few hours and I really liked it. When they have the server issues sorted I think it’ll be a really good time. I like how they solved one of the more consistent issues in Survival MMOs though which is population density and since each Oasis is a generated instance that only exists for a limited…

Nah man they’re just Japanese. You wait until his son reaches the last day of his 59th year (probably on 15 years time), then it’ll suddenly catch up to him overnight.

First people didn’t few esports as a real sport. Now esports is the only sport.

I’m assuming there was a bungie, or a inflated landing pad...

Wasn’t the tagline for Sea Bass “You again?!” in one of the games? Or was that just what my family and I screamed every time? Even odds.

That’s because the secret ingredient that makes Animal Crossing’s mundanity so much fun is the element of random chance. It’s a rush to spend months looking for a specific, elusive piece of furniture and finally see it in Tom Nook’s store. But if it doesn’t work out right away, there’s no punishment, either. With no…

Hi! SonicFox is non-binary and their prefered pronoum is they/them/their, so don’t call them a he. Good day!

That wasn’t the point. I’m sure they would have considered AI upscaling regardless, but no matter what you’re aiming for clearly you want to start with the best possible quality material. The AI upscale might have looked twice as good had they had the original video to upscale from.

You only realize how difficult this type of art really is when you try to do it yourself.

Designing that city for example required an astounding amount of research, architectural knowledge, imagination/futurism and only then you get to the actual art part where you need to be extremely precise with lighting,…

Someone who isn’t in the business may look at these and think they look nice. But someone in the business looks at that city concept art and thinks holy fuck. That shit is really hard to pull off at that level of detail.

I find this whole “Pay $60 for 1/20 of the game is dumb” argument to be ridiculously stupid. You do realize that you’re paying not for the story but the new game in its entirety right? If you just want the story, I have news for you, just don’t buy it and watch a LetsPlay. You think Square can just crap out games of…

Is it really 1/20th of a game if there’s so much new material though? It sucks that it’s confined only to the Midgar sections, but if they’re going to be adding that much new material, then the whole game is going to be over a hundred hours long and probably cost hundreds of dollars. Spreading it out like this is…

This isn’t some scrappy, unproven start-up we’re talking about here...it’s friggin’ Google, they essentially own the internet and have more money than they know what to do with. Were they so inclined, they could be doing exactly what Epic is doing with the EGS in ponying up for exclusives or timed exclusivity for…

“As a little side note, if you compare the Undies suit and the Advanced suit, you may note that the Undies version’s butt is just a little bit perkier. Gotta know your audience.”

DO MORE WORK ON THE BULGE NEXT TIME!!!

Nowadays, most of high quality models are done in two steps:

I’m not telling anyone to buy it or not buy it. I’m critiquing a game whose original I played and liked things about, just liked I played this version and, as I pretty clearly said, liked things about it. I also found some things about it asinine. *shrug*
