It’s just a story about a spaceman. It might be good, might be bad, but I promise it won’t hurt you any more or less than if they had named him “Scuzz Brightyear”.

I like a connected universe just as much as the next guy, but c'mon. Everyone quit acting like your mental health has been shattered because there's a standalone space movie.

the lesson here is that we should all trust the movie studios making superhero blockbusters a little more. When they show up with an idea that seems bad, we should say “thank you” and not “this idea seems bad.”

I would just rather they be more consistently consistent. Kotaku acknowledges (and *arguably* encourages, but that’s not the point right now) emulation all the time, so it rings kinda false when they also pretend to be concerned about humanity losing the original versions of GTA FOREVER because they aren’t on the…

Kotaku last week: Hey kids, here’s how you can pirate and Emulate Metroid Dread on your PC before your local Gamestop even open for business this morning.

Kotaku today: IF THEY DE-LIST THREE OF THE HIGHEST-SELLING GAMES OF ALL TIME FROM 20 YEARS AGO ON STEAM, HOW WILL ANYONE PLAY THEM!??!!11!

No time to proofread, we need to report this almost non-story about an arcade thousands of miles away from our main audience ASAP!!!

All you need to play BotW right now is an emulator and a decently powerful PC ;)

Pretty sure that even back in the music industry heyday when people actually bought music, selling 5, 10, or 20 million albums was the absolute peak of the industry.

Everyone replying to me seems to have not read the “PR” part of my comment. I don’t think they should have westerners in there developing the game, i think they need a westerner to watch that first trailer and say “hey, y’all have him saying Chaos about 15 times and that sounds weird, the memes will flow”.

I still don’t understand why all of these Japanese game companies don’t have on-staff “Gaijin QA” departments for all english-language PR before it goes out....

Yeah, people out here acting like they LOVED that orange blob. Ok, Jan.

Even just some 2xAA or some N64-level texture filtering would help this game IMMENSELY an di really hope they use the next 4 months to make that happen.

Oh you just KNOW CBS has an intern outside his house firing bad “put-upon dopey dad” sitcom scripts out of a tshirt cannon thru his windows.

Nintendo has sold 89 million Switches worldwide to date. The venn diagram of “hardcore Bayonetta fans” and “people who have acquired a Switch in the last 5 years” has so be so damn close to a perfect circle it hurts. Asking for Bayonetta to be on a non-nintendo system is only slightly SLIGHTLY less stupid than asking…

Scarjo (busy on the level of an RDJ-type, who also didn’t show up for this series - this would obviously have been done before her rift with Disney over her Black Widow salary) and Gwyneth Paltrow (who barely remembers she’s even been in the MCU most of the time) not showing up to voice their characters is hardly…

Covid has been the perfect opportunity for all of these big awards shows and they don’t even see it. All of them - Oscars, Golden Globes, Grammys, Emmys, pick one - were on a severe downward slope in the ratings before Covid was even a twinkle in an East Asian bat’s eye. And it’s now affecting TWO awards seasons. Life…

Producer of Several Awards Shows Publicly Complains About Producing Awards Shows

Should? yes. Will? I highly doubt they’re going to do anything beyond up-res a few textures and tout that the game loads faster (without them having to do anything to make that happen).

Cue user “TotallyNotNaka” putting up a PSA 10 copy of Balan Wonderworld on ebay tomorrow asking for $20k.
