I'm still rocking that same model, with 8GB RAM. only thing i've done is swap the hard drive with an SSD, and install another SSD in the secondary bay. I just wish it weren't such a heat generator (at some point i'm gonna cut out that fake fan port and make it into a real one) and the fan weren't so noisy.

That's why I stick to desktop dev. C# ftw =x

Hah! My earliest game collection included KQVI as well, in addition to a top-down Jurassic Park game of some sort. I was running a Packard Bell with an i486, never did get to upgrade that CPU. Eventually I think I installed win95 on it and not long afterward the PSU blew up. =x

I went through the same stuff! Getting an upgrade to 8MB RAM was one of the most exciting days of my life at the time.

Duke3d had mouselook. I would sooner argue that mouse isn't what screwed up FPS, but rather, the transition to mesh-based 3D.

Honestly, I played Half Life back when it was first released and couldn't get into it, despite later playing HL2 and loving that. I still can't really get into the original HL at all.

Even Duke3D was still 'flat' 2.5D; the only difference was that they implemented slanted surfaces and fudged a z-axis for sprites.

I have this guy (but in blue) sitting on my shelf at home!

that would be because the assets in this were taken straight from the original DS version.... the 3DS is capable of far, far better.

I totally understand. It's definitely a different sort of experience, but it's one of genre rather than medium. It's like the result you get when you take someone who's only ever been exposed to hollywood movies, and show them an indie art film. The format is almost exactly the same, the game is still played the same…

This form of media still has the bare minimum elements to be considered a game, and it's closer to a game than anything else. Bottom line, the modern definition of 'game' is a bit blurrier than it used to be.

That's a pretty goddamn low bar to set. But yeah, I won't watch it. Not just simply because it's called Robotech, but because by all signs they've shown so far, they're just going to be making movies that continue their knockoff universe, while Harmony Gold (who they're working with on the project) continues to block…

That's the entire reason for being concerned that it's robotech. Along with all the other info provided, it means they're creating a new thing (which will suck), while (I'm guessing) continuing to block all the wealth of existing Macross material that will never come stateside so long as Harmony Gold is involved and…

Still waiting for: 1) Driveable cars, 2) VR, 3) fuck it, Grand Theft Auto: Skylines!

The article also states that Sony is going to be making (possibly a number of) Robotech movies. There's three ways this can happen. Either they will localize existing Macross media directly (unlikely given that 'making movies' implies new work), do it the Robotech way and stitch other Macross media together into a…

The above poster brings up a good point, and probably is the only thing that brings me genuine concern here — If Sony acquires the rights to Robotech and starts making new material based on that knockoff universe, what does that mean for Macross itself in the west? Will all the other existing material in the franchise…

That would indeed be best-case scenario! Except that doesn't seem to be the case here. This literally appears to be Sony wanting to capitalize on Robotech with new material based in that knockoff universe. Which makes me wonder how much harder it's going to be to actually do what you're hoping.

If believing that pleases you, go ahead. I'm merely killing time after work replying to everyone with as much time to waste as me (or at least enough time to take such cheap bait). Would you have preferred that I had ignored you? That's not very entertaining, is it?

You severely overestimate the degree to which I actually care either way about this. I just find it incredibly silly to take a knockoff of someone else's franchise and actually keep going with it. Like these companies truly have run out of ideas. Then again, we're talking about Sony here...

otaku SMASH!!
