What do you consider “tracing” to mean?

I have never seen or heard of them before, and I have seen many people draw by hand that perfectly, using precise measurements. That’s still not tracing.

Have you never seen someone draw an exact copy of something by hand?

Just because parts line up perfectly doesn’t mean they’re traced, it’s possible to copy identically better than that by hand.

Honestly, 48 tracks for $24.99 with no genuine sequel in sight until at least all these tracks have been released, is making it very tempting indeed, and it’s not like I’ve played the Wii U one for at least three years. I don’t normally double-dip, but...

Definitely directly replicated, but there’s no reason to assume they’re traced. The artist is clearly good enough to just copy something from reference, and apart from the composition, nothing lines up perfectly enough to suggest they’re literally traced. But then, I feel like a lot of people these days use the word…

Pretty sure NFTs aren’t reliant on cryptocurrencies, they’re just both based on the same blockchain technology. The current way they’re being used doesn’t reflect their potential, this is just the Wild West of a new technology - whoever gets in first gets to decide how they use it, and unfortunately the people who got…

I don’t understand the opposition other than “NFT bad”. How this would make them more money that non-NFT digital games/game items/dlc?

The digital art shit isn’t the only use of NFTs, it’s just people taking advantage of an emerging technology to make easy profit before legitimate uses settle in.

The way I see it, the difference is with blockchain they don’t have to dedicate any resources to keep track of it. Once it’s set up they won’t have to do anything.

They might if they can guarantee they get a cut.

I don’t think I understand what they’re trying to do, but I do think that blockchain could finally give us the ability to sell on our completed downloadable games or dlc in a secondary market, the lack of which has kind of been an issue with digital stores. I’m sure that’s not what Ubisoft has planned, but the crypto…

I do miss Tokyo Jungle... It would probably have online multiplayer if it came out today, and that would be fantastic.

But also keep it a secret until it’s ready to release... Not Kotaku, the creators!

Well said.

Not gonna lie, my initial reaction was laughter, to what I, with no prior knowledge of Chinese opera, thought was some kind of joke voice, but I soon realised that this must be legit Chinese opera and appreciated it by the end of the trailer. I think it’s a bit unfair to judge someone on their initial reactions. I was…

They’re harder to patch out...

I don’t know who he is or what he’s about, but it seems like at least he’s trying. It’s more than I’m, doing!

Inazuma has been an absolute treat for me. I love exploring, and it’s had the best secrets of all the regions, and given me so many “holy shit!” moments I’ve lost count, with the hidden domains, and draining lakes, and huge underground areas... The stories have been pretty good, but fighting Raiden Shogun was an…

I worked in games retail when this came out, it was actually quite good at the time - the device worked. Then the Wii came out.
