You think that publishers are going to keep paying people to make the art if they can pay one person to run a few different AI’s to do it all?

This is both a reasonable stance and something that frustrates me. The whole “let’s see if it catches on” is very much one of the reasons VR *struggles* to catch on. It feels like such a self-fulfilling prophecy to me.

If you want to play original PS VR games you need a PlayStation 4 and an original PS VR.

I assume they meant the WiiU, but I’m not sure if they misattributed the Zelda games.

Right since handhelds have always been their strong suit and no-one was ever able to compete with them. It’s been nice having a single console to play on TV and be able to take it with me on the go.

someone too stupid to look at the winners beforehand and make sure you know how to pronounce them.

when you’re not someone who has been exposed to those words non-stop for three years

I mean, yes, it would be easier if you knew the game, but it’s not like Valhalla is a concept invented by Ubisoft. Anyone with even a cursory knowledge of Norse mythology has probably heard of it. And even if you didn’t get that in grade school European history like I did, it’s hardly obscure knowledge, since it’s…

I’m getting the impression that they are trying to make the game a bit more serious? It’s cool if they want to make it scarier, but I have this mental image of Leon being a goofy action hero full of gratuitous backflips and supplexes and chainsaw parrying with his adamantium knife.

It’d be like remaking RE5 and not…

The open contempt for the player’s time is really something. Why is the scroll speed so slow? Why do we have to look at the Barf Nebula for two full minutes while the word salad moves to the top of the screen? I assure you, Brian, I don’t need that time to recover after your searing truths. 

I love how "I like to do my own research" has become such a convenient shorthand for me to instantly dismiss the person saying it as a complete fúcking moron.

I’ll acknowledge that the original was interesting and creative and important, particularly for having a strong female lead in the early ‘00s (peak years of gaming being aimed at the teenage boy demographic). As you’ve said, I think the window for releasing a sequel that anyone has cared about has long passed, even if…

Dude that comic book goes for hundreds of thousands of dollars. He probably has plenty of his own but superman no. 1 is an extremely important book, and he ain’t got one.

I mean, Republicans should hate Superman. He’s an undocumented immigrant and a journalist.

Politicians are not your friends, no matter how much they love the same media you do.

Only the eShop is shutting down, online services aren’t affected by this. I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo announces they’re turning online functionality off soon though.

Can’t speak to this game specifically since I haven’t played it but just based on description; I’m not really a fan of “haha look how terrible this game design is” jokes if you still make the player go through it and the only subversion is pointing out that it’s bad. Basically just telling the player “Look how little…

Localization ain’t half of it. Do you know just how much content game companies must change or merely prevent themselves from using just to assume their games CAN release in China?

I have to point out that another failing of that 3D platformer is that it’s called Balan Wonderworld, not that I blame anyone for remembering differently.

Ahh, I remember when World of Warcraft launched in China and how a lot of that filtered back into the western client, suddenly Skeletons being removed from the game and replaced with zombies with no bones showing, decorative skulls disappearing, NPC animal Pandas that you could kill removed, blood going from red to…
