As somebody who was laid off in August and is still having trouble finding another job in the gaming or tech sectors, things suck quite a bit right now!
I sure love it when a successful company is acquired and then suffers greatly because the parent company fucked up! So cool!
Yeah while I recognize most of these games are never gonna be top sellers I do think there’s a lot of value on putting these games in the same storefront as modern titles so that casual players can come across them and decide to give them a try. I think the fact that Steam has so many legacy titles is one of its…
I bought a bunch of PS1/PSP/Vita games on my PS TV and I would really like to be able to port all of those purchases (and save files!) over to my PS5.
That’s pretty close to my experience: I haven’t had a PlayStation since the PS2 (with the exception of a PS TV, but I mainly just used that to play PS1 games) so when I heard that Microsoft was going to continue releasing their exclusives on Xbox One I figured I was in no rush to get a Series X|S. As a result, I…
My first big layoff was from a company I had been at for over a decade and I got 6 months severance and health benefits, which was great, but it still took me forever to find a job (AND we were expecting a second kid) so there were a lot of dark moments there.
I guess, but the Switch does have some technical improvements over that hardware, so it’s entirely possible it could outperform those.
Oh I do think a playable version of RDR2 can be put out on Switch, but I’m responding to your comment about how the Switch isn’t comparable to the 360/PS3 in any way that matters, which is a bonkers assertion.
It absolutely is more comparable to the Xbox 360 and PS3, though with the major difference (from what I can recall) is a major increase in ram over those older platforms.
What are you talking about? What exactly is “a way that matters” if not the fact that it literally has half the ram of the Xbox One / PS4?
Eh, GTAV was originally a 360/PS3 game. No reason they shouldn’t be able to get that ported over to the Switch.
There are already multiple third-party cloud games on the Switch already and the vast majority (if not all) are powered by a company called Ubitus.
I don’t know that Halo 3 drastically changed the course of my life but it was definitely a big part of it. I graduated college in 2007 so I’m a bit older than Alyssa, but during college I lived with a bunch of dudes in on-campus apartments which made it very easy to both get people to play and do LAN parties with…
I can’t believe it’s the same guy that’s voicing Mario in Super Mario Wonder.
Didn’t they do that on Solar Opposites? I don’t watch either show but I remember somebody posting a clip of Solar Opposites where the main character (I guess?) has a new voice and he just says “This is how I sound now and also the thing that changed my voice affected the timeline so I’ll sound this way in flashbacks…
A couple of senior level people at the company I was working at the time had previously worked at Sony and boy were they thrilled with their previous employer.
Wasn’t that also the case in Breath of the Wild?
One slight caveat: I believe both Microsoft and Sony require the game on the disc to be playable, so something will be playable via disc if the servers go down. It might be a mess and missing some elements (or like one of the recentish Tomb Raider games, literally have a different ending) but in theory those games will…
Think of it like a complicated reload mechanic.
