Keep an old system running is a lot of work, regardless of scale. As someone mentioned security is a thing. Someone’s gotta keep all dependencies updated to include security patches. For some projects those updates will just stop coming or only be in newer major versions that include breaking changes. This might…

Honestly this is why IMO companies should be required to open source the server stuff and allow fans or the public to run their own servers when the company decides to shut them down. I mean I understand why the do it, but at least give the fans the option to keep them going if they want to.  We are at a time where…

All those Super Mario Maker 1 levels, just gone forever.

She has called for the eradication of a group of people. She is below shit, as is anyone who defends her.

actually more a stealth sequel. its not so subtlety hinted at that clouds original game memories were sent back, but fragmented in order to change things for the better. the reason? the original FF7 was the bad ending. You know the post game scene where you see nanaki and his pups travel a barren land to see a dead…

Welcome to Nomura town.

Thanks for all the background! I suspect articles like this are how I’m going to learn the FFVIIR story going forward, since everything sounds so overwrought and disconnected from anything to do with the original.

once again bringing up the idea that Jenova and Lavos are the same species...just that Jenova got intercepted by the Ancients before it could burrow into the planet’s core, becoming the opposite of the Frozen Flame, a body without a will.

Man...I just wanted my remade FF7 ;_;

Man, FFVII is already pretty confusing and opaque in parts, but at least we’ve had a couple decades to become acquainted with it. Remake/Rebirth trying to retrofit the story to Frankenstein together every piece of lore and subsequent branch of the story is making this whole thing into a convoluted mess.

Sephiroth is gonna do it. He’s bringing in Donald and Goofy to join the battle.

I’m not an IP lawyer or anything, but I thought the legal understanding is that you can’t copywrite things that clearly generic: i.e. ‘Lyft’ and ‘Google’ deliberately misspell ‘lift’ and ‘googol’ so they can be wholly owned by the companies.

Seems like this won’t (or shouldn’t) go anywhere. The two logos are very distinct in style and color scheme, and the full name of Remedy at the bottom of their logo really clinches it. Nobody is buying a Remedy game by accident thinking it’s a Rockstar title, or vice versa.

You’re on Kotaku.com, not r/kotakuinaction, you incel chud.

It’s the classic Fascist argument - whenever awful people do awful things, it’s secretly not their fault, because somehow they were actually helpless victims who were FORCED to do those awful things by people criticizing them.

Hi kotaku, I don’t know how many of us were included in the layoffs, seems to be a small number of us, but I got laid off from Behaviour Interactive yesterday. I asked how many of us were affected and I was told “Several people from a few departments”.

But the cost of living was also less back then. Technology should have lessen people’s working hours in general so then we would have created a society where most people have a small businesses and is constantly spending. Capitalism truly shines when the base needs of the citizens are met (housing, and food) to where…

“It is unfortunate but it is also extremely cyclical and is just capitalism working as intended.”

Now people are blaming the layoffs on "sjws"? God. Please get media literate, and realize that not every single problem in the universe is caused by "The SJWs"

Do you blame political activists when the barista gets your order wrong at Starbucks too?
