Interesting. I kind of see their point, though. They’re arguing that MS doesn’t have an incentive to make CoD et al. exclusive right now (which I disagree with), but that they could use it to fully lock down a different emerging market... which... probably yes, actually. There are enough CoD diehards in the world that…

“The CMA’s decision hinges on cloud gaming tech that no one believes in yet”

I loved Virtual Springfield. There’s a chance the CD-ROM is still somewhere at the my parents’ house lol

Every character in this game is about as deep as a thimble. The narrative is simply a driver for the game to go to different environments and situations. There is nothing in the game beyond “We must win.” That being said, because this is a video game, there are many other elements that can delight the player besides…

she even expresses interest in becoming a government agent! That’s vastly more personality than OG Ashley ever had.

I don’t see the problem with her in this remake.  She starts out very much afraid and unconfident, as she should be since she’s an untrained young woman going through a severely traumatic experience.  And then through the small actions she takes she’s able to gain back some of that confidence and sees Leon as someone…

That's a no from me. Her characterization was vastly improved and she felt like a much more rounded person. 

Yeah I think we all saw that part of the article, but why should we agree? It does count when the title claims Photoshop wasn’t used when it very clearly was. If it was “Incredible Aerial Superman Cosplay Shoot Isn’t Using Green Screen” it’d be fine

There is so much aggressive color editing in each of these photos they would have gotten the same effect with a greenscreen and a quick snap of essentially any sky. It’s a cute gimmick, but literally none of it’s showing up on screen.

Huh, interesting. I do of course have attacked to the old miscolored ones, but...

Either version is much preferred over the plasticky, matte-color, YuGiOh protagonist-looking things they draw now.

I actually always thought it was so cool that Sugimori used those weird overblown pastels lol.

Remember kids:

You wouldn’t be doing it for no reason. Feelings are important, but they aren’t the only thing that direct our lives. Nor should they be. Often what we feel can be anxious and maddening and delude us about what is going on around us. Feelings must be tempered with self-control in order to be useful and self-control…

We’re in the same boat on most of this post. In every RE game the virus has turned people into cannibals, monsters, savages so saying the game is racist because the ethnic group in the area they are in are depicted as such seems like a weird stretch.

Yes but how many artists will still have a job? The closest analogy I can make here is photography. Prior to the cellphone it was a reasonable career path to be a photographer for a media outlet or for stock photos. Now, the only real career path is wedding photographer it high end fashion/media photographer. All of…

Actually, CGI has done massive damage to the moviemaking industry. So many little stupid things get CGI’d, like having an actor hold a stick and then CGIing in a gun later because it’s cheaper to pay a graphics sweatshop to add in a gun than it is to pay a unionized prop manager. Actors having to try to portray nearly …

Just needs to be expanded slightly to ‘As a consumer, I hope there is properly compensated and respected human labor behind my purchase’

that artists testimony is just too bleak, her career was basically decimated just like that

and the Dead Space remake is 20 percent off ($56)

This is what I was hoping RE9 would be. It’s cool to see the whole gang together in a movie, but this is something fans have wanted in a game for a long time.
